Côte Restaurant Exeter

Staff great, as usual. We nearly always take the 3 course set lunch, which was ok, but let down this time by very dry, over cooked haddock fillet. If they are going to offer fresh fish it must be properly cooked. We rarely send food back as it spoils the occasion, especially when there are 4 of us.

Ordered a starter of the charcuterie board served without bread to eat with it, disappointing had to order it. Otherwise good food and pleasant atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, good food and service and lovely view over to Cathedral. Only criticism is that the blinds do not pull down- venetian blinds would cure this.

Always a joy to be here. The only problem perhaps is the level of noise, which makes it hard to converse properly. But service is a joy and the food was delicious

Usually like Cote but recent experience not too good. Portions fairly mean and service very slow: in the end I cleared our own dirty plates. Also, in spite of asking to be moved to a vacant table, I had to take being frequently brushed by passing traffic, usually waiting staff. Think I'll give it a pass for a while.

as ALWAYS brilliant..thats why we go SO often!!!!!I also fed up with answering this questionnaire every time I go to the Cote.never used to be like this???

We waited nearly an hour for our food to arrive despite pre ordering in advance as timescales were tight and had to chase about this. The food was very good as always and so it remains our favourite place to dine.

Fantastic food, amazing value for money. Restaurant was a bit noises and the tables were too closely packed together but overall enjoyed our meal there and would highly recommend

We are regular customers at Cote Exeter. The staff are unfailingly polite, helpful & efficient. The menu for specials & a la carte is extensive & excellent value. Even the fussiest eater should be able to find at least one dish that attracts! Anticipating our next visit!

Excellent food and service as usual. We can always rely on Cote whichever city we are in, Exeter, Cheltenham Cardiff and Cobham are our most recent ones. We have never been disappointed.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Very good value for money. Good varied menu with dishes to suit all tastes. The staff are effective and attentive without being overbearing.

Good food, good service, attentive friendly staff, enjoyable environment. Attended to my mother in a wheelchair very quickly. Although busy we did not feel rushed. Thank you.

Excellent food and service. Lovely ambience, would highly recommend. The restaurant always seems very popular which speaks for itself. The food is always consistently good.

Lovely setting with views over cathedral, excellent food, wine and smart, efficient, courteous and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and plan to return very soon.

Wonderful night had by all!!Food & staff fantastic!!! It was a special celebration & we couldn't have bettered it anywhere. Cannot thank you all enough !!!

Excellent service delicious food.high standard as always. Fushcskes SBD fish Parmentier tidsy with a bottle of Sauvignin from Pays dOc. We will visit again. Thank you

whom it my concern, My daughter and myself enjoyed the visit to your Brasserie in Exeter. The gift of wine was enjoyable. Excellant food and the service was great, the young man advised my daughter what to select on the Menue as she cannot tolerate Dairy products. I first ate at your restaurant at Bluewater in Kent and I hope to go there again at the end of May. Why haven't you a Brasserie in Plymouth where I live? Many thanks again. Mrs Dorothy Wood

Great reception, lovely service and the food was excellent. View of the Cathedral- beautiful. Only thing letting this exceptional restaurant down is the noise, its so loud in there you almost have to shout at each other.

Good menu choice and tatsy well-priced food in a buzzing environment. So buzzing it was quite difficult to chat but not much that can be done about that.

As usual very tasty food and courteous staff. The reason for 5 is the untidy state of the ladies toilet........disappointing in a favourite restaurant. SORT!

friendly staff, they make the whole meal with my family enjoyable, just a very pleasant 2 hours for dinner. 3rd time to Cote exeter, cannot fault it. well done Cote Exeter.

Had a lovely evening for our 27th wedding anniversary. Beautifully cooked steak and fab service. Loved that there is a gluten free menu. Must do it again.

Always an excellent experience . Great food, lovely surroundings, very professional staff Happy to keep coming back. Great for all ages and lovely location on Cathedral Green

Cote is a fantastic group of restaurants and this is a particularly fine example. Wonderful french brasserie style cooking, fairly priced and well served and presented. It really is excellent.

Please don't go to Côte for lunch! Need to be able to get a table myself. Without doubt the best staff,food, atmosphere and location in Exeter.

The food was absolutely delicious and the service superb in a great setting. Great atmosphere and lovely to see a packed restaurant. The perfect evening thank you!

The staff and the service were excellent I loved the Kir Royal. The only slight criticism was that the duck jus with the confit duck was slightly over seasoned. My husbands steak was a bit grisly in parts however overall fab.

Always lovely here, friendly service and tasty food! I love the duck, the belly pork, the onion soup and the chocolate mousse. Yum yum yum

Excellent food as always! Did get asked about 4 times by different staff if we wanted any more drinks, which is fine, but a little annoying. But would highly recommended for brunch!

Although we are regulars we took some fist timers with us last night. The food was excellent as usual and the atmostphere was great. The charcuterie board was most impressive and they thought the brûlée and creme caramel were exceptional.

Very enjoyable. Great food and a good 'buzz' about the place. Window table upstairs meant we had a great view across Cathedral Green to the cathedral.

When in Exeter we practically always lunch at the Cote. We find it reasonably priced and enjoy the food although it is rather noisy. Our only criticism on our last visit was that the choice of "Specials" was not to our taste and, because it was a "Birthday treat" offer, we were obliged to choose from the "a la carte" menu. We would have preferred the choices on the "set menu" on this occasion!

As ever pleasant ambience and welcome from staff.I felt the food could have been a bit hotter.Ought to have a low or nil alcohol beer on the menu

A fantastic experience! Staff were friendly and showed us to a lovely window table overlooking the Cathedral green. Immediately two complimentary Kirs were brought to us. We both thought the meal absolutely delicious and shall return.

I had the crepes with mushrooms and spinach - it was ok - but not worth £10.50! Needed something to give it more 'oomph' - maybe nutmeg or a stronger cheese? The 2-course lunch looked much better value but I was in a hurry and not convinced it would all arrive on time. Lovely setting, view of the cathedral - thanks for arranging that. Thanks for asking and I hope this is helpful.

Booked table on line with no problems staff were very welcoming when we arrived and throughout our meal all the staff were quick,kind and very helpful.

Excellent setting, menu and staff. Food arrived promptly, reasonable portions and tasted delicious. Very polite, friendly and professional staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cote in Exeter for 6 of us to celebrate our granddaughters 11th birthday. The food was excellent and the service first class. The extra 'fuss' made for our 'birthday girl' was the 'icing on the cake'. Thank you all.

I have had many really good meals here in the past and rated it really highly. This time it was different. The restaurant was very quiet (not a problem and it was a Sunday) but, in spite of this the service was very, very slow to the point that I had to ask if there was a problem; I was told not and the food eventually arrived. My meal seemed to have a faint burnt edge to the flavour (maybe there had been a problem after all?). I decided to call it a day at this point which is a shame as I would normally have stayed for desserts, coffee and after dinner drinks. I'll give it another go in the future, on the basis of many previous good meals, and hope this was a one-off (maybe a staffing problem behind the scenes?). Fingers crossed.

Great, friendly staff. Lovely ambiance. Delicious menu at a good price. Regular customers and always happy to visit. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great value, quality meal.

We asked for a seat upstairs by the window when we booked and am pleased to say we were seated exactly where we requested. The food was excellent as usual and likewise the service, the staff are very friendly and efficient. Happy to recommend this restaurant.

We had a booking for 12:30 on Sunday, and were surprised that the upstairs area was so quiet. The meal of steak with salad and chips which we each had was fine. The bill came with an optional gratuity of 12.5% included which is a bit cheeky. We could have refused the option, but had found nothing wrong, so paid it and grumbled to ourselves. It had also been applied to the price of the wine which equated to £2.50 just to have our wine poured once.

Wonderful position overlooking the Cathedral, food excellent, specifically the seasonal menu and service excellent. Great place for our anniversary. Scallops were wonderful, same with the sea bass and lamb. Shame there were no profiteroles....

Very good attentive service, but we were left alone and we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner with friends and we didn't feel rushed

Food and service faultless, as always. This is out "go to" restaurant in Exeter - it's a guaranteed great meal at a very reasonable cost.

Good food. Great service. The manager, particularly, was most attentive and his prompt actions, when there was a minor problem with the breakfast, were much appreciated.

Very helpful service: One of our party had a heart condition which meant a table on the ground floor. Also reduced bill when both wife and I complained the french beans were very substandard!

Have been here numerous time and I have say never fails to impress. Food great, fabulous location, staff friendly,polite and efficenct . Sure I will be visiting again soon.

We have been supporters of Cote Brasserie in Exeter since it opened and regularly dine there. We are always impressed with the range of choices of food and the value. Also the staff are very attentive and friendly. Last night we celebrated a small family birthday dinner and were delighted with the complimentary glasses of Kir Royale.
