Usually love Le Cote as a coeliac it is a safe place to eat with lots of GF choices. We were eating at 4pm New Year’s Eve so maybe not a good time but the moules were stringy and many closed up, my chicken was dry. We requested a table upstairs but they’d closed it for preparation for the evening and downstairs was cold and draughty every time the door opened.

All together a lovely time and good food, great location in Exeter. Negatives were the air con was blowing right at my seat - like sitting in a draft - and my crème caramel was still a little frozen in the centre - still yummy though!

Food was great as was the service although the waiters seemed a bit stressed (not enough staff?) As is usual, all of the menu was not available but there was enough choice. For New Years Day lunch it was fine.

Don't be put off by the fairly dark small downstairs room upstairs is much larger and lighter with great views to the front of Exeter Cathedral. 3 of us lunched there mid week. It was very busy (and rather noisy) and it looked like they could have done with more staff. Service was understandably a little slow. The food however was the usual totally reliable consistent cote standard. great chicken, tasty minute steak, good frites etc. We have eaten in Cotes all over the country and they provide consistently good quality food for reasonable prices. Their 2 courses for £11.95 is hard to beat. Whenever we eat out we usually find ourselves judging the meal and value against Cote. It is rare that we conclude that a meal is both better tasting and better value than Cote

We love the atmosphere at Cote - it's like a little bit of Paris in Exeter! I had the seabass with roasted fennel and it was delicious and excellent value. There is a good choice of wines to accompany your food. Great service as always. Well worth a visit.

I’ve been to many Cote’s but this was the best I’ve experienced. The server whose name was Brett M and his colleague who appeared to be the floor Manager were both exceptional. Our main courses were running a little late but nothing that bad we were kept proactively informed and they even unexpectedly covered the cost of some drinks while they clearly pushed the kitchen to get our food out. This is the kind of service that is missing in so many places these days and I would like to say a big thanks to these team members at Cote Exeter as an example for all restaurants to aspire to.

I am partly disabled, but was shown to my table with great courtesy and help with my bags, where I enjoyed a really tasty, well prepared, lunch with my friends. Centrally situated, and with views of Exeter Cathedral, plus the ambiance and great atmosphere in the room, it is, in my opinion the very best in the City. Service professional and friendly, and excellent choices on the menu.

Food was lovely shame about the service waiter was unfriendly , not helpful and virtually threw the receipt at us when we asked for service charge to be refused ! We were going to leave a seperate tip but because of this we didn't . Real shame as we were so looking forward to our visit and this was the first time my sister and niece have visited Cote .
