Côte Restaurant Exeter

very good lunch today looking over at the Cathedral fantastic setting

Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Cote Exeter. The food was as good as ever and we would particularly like to thank the management for the complimentary glass of Kir they kindly provided "on the house" to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary.

Good food and good service in a nice atmosphere. All our menus choices were delicious and our waiter was very attentive. We thought the three course set menu was very good value.

Food was delicious apart from poulet/frites. Chicken was dry. Very good moules/frites. Only problem is that it is very noisy upstairs and difficult to hear. Absolutely fine once other diners left so fewer people in restaurant. Would recommend.

Lovely meal in a lovely location with excellent staff. We were given a window table which I had requested and had a free bottle of wine via an email voucher which was already known by the waiter so no awkward moment. Food was delicious as always.

We are regular late diners but the staff always make us feel welcome and give us prompt but unhurried attention. The food was good and served quickly which is most important at that time of the evening. The red wine from the Pays d'Oc was excellent.

VEry friendly attentive service. Nice long meal, good table has appetiser, starter main and desert, steak cooked to perfection. Also great bottle of St Emilion- all in all excellent value for v high end experience!!

Very good as ever - excellent breakfast - great service. Busy morning being Rememberance day but service was as good as ever thank you again

as usual lovely evening at fair price. always excellent food and service. Also nice to see a full restaurant especially early in the evening. Great

Another very enjoyable lunch at Cote. The set menu is extremely good value and very, very tasty!! We hope to return as soon as possible.

Unfortunately our evening out was spoilt by one of the main dishes (4 diners) having a piece of broken glass in it. There was an immediate apology and were advised that the item would be removed from the bill. The bill arrived and we then noticed that unfortunately we were overcharged for a glass of wine. Not overly impressed, I think the good will gesture could have been more enhanced for dulling our evening out, not sure if we'll go back. Shame as it was our first visit.

The restaurant was very busy and very noisy. Not very relaxing for a quiet lunch. My steak was ordered medium but arrived rare and I had to ask for another. By the time that arrived my husband had finished his meal. My steak this time was over cooked and so peppery it burnt my mouth! I wondered if this was chef’s revenge? On the good side, I was not charged for my meal.

Wonderful atmosphere, quick service and fabulous food. Lovely view of the Cathedral from upstairs windows. Excellent gluten free menu choice as well as the ordinary menu.

The upstairs was really noisy with a children’s birthday party this is not how you want to enjoy lunch plastic plates and cake all over the place and the toilets were dirty and had run out of toilet roll having eaten st Côte several times in Exeter Kingston Reading and Covent Garden I was shocked at this standard the food was just ok and my main was cold I couldn’t wait to pay the bill and leave I didn’t even stay for coffee

Food fine Busy full restaurant Some staff did not handle this as well as others V noisy ..so did not need the music as well

Easy to book online. Excellent food - and large portions - & efficient, pleasant staff. Busy, but at no time did we feel rushed, overall a very pleasant lunch.

a pleasureable evening, and the staff had time to be chatty , especially as they were quite busy in the lead up to Christmas events

Good food, good service and great value My wife had her favourite belly port and I had duck all excellent. Washed down with a very drinkable bottle of wine.

A mixed experience this visit! Côte is usually excellent across the board , but this time my starter of the charcuterie was spoiled by oily, stale tepid bread which was supposed to be toasted, and there was a small piece of wood in the salad. I did complain but just got an “oh!” From our waitress. Disappointing.

As always excellent service, atmosphere, wine and food. Great location, great views of the Cathedral and a delicious menu. This restaurant is always buzzing because they have it right.

The food at Cote is always perfect. Service was good & we were given a complimentary glass of bubbly as it was my mums 60th. Lovely touch.

Very busy in the restaurant this evening, my chicken was over cooked and the chocolate pot was runny. Not up to the usual standards today

Always good and always busy. The early evening menu is good value for money. Very noisy, difficult for those with hearing aids but no different to any other successful, busy restaurant.

As always, the Exeter Cote Brasserie food was first class - the service too. All your staff should be commended for their excellent service. We eat at Cote's whenever we visit Exeter. Love the atmosphere, the Cote bottled water and your complimentary offers to regular customers. When reserving we always ask for an upstairs window table overlooking the cathedral and appreciate the front desk staff's efforts to accommodate us.

Had to demand a better seating position which was eventually agreed. You are not informed until you arrive that a position by the windows has to be booked in advance. Food of good quality and value. Service was also good Adding gratuity on the wine is unreasonable when the restaurant price is more than three times the price you pay for a similar product at Aldi

We all had a wonderful time. The food was excellent. The staff were very helpful. My guests all agreed to look forward to dining there again and will return very soon.

Very Busy - But as usual excellent food, service and value for money. We had booked ahead and a table was ready for us. An enjoyable experience with our friends.

Went for an early dinner prior to a concert at the Cathedral and really enjoyed it. Very nice staff plus great food, wine and ambience.

Not as good as it normally is. Very busy with just 2 waitress s. Duck over cooked and sauce lacked depth. Waited over 25 minutes to order sweets, but staff too busy. Took another 10 minutes to get the bill. Sad because we use to enjoy Cotes

We we’re warmly greeted and taken to a table by the window upstairs. Our waitress was very attentive and brought our drinks quickly and took our food order. The meal was excellent a.There is always a buzz at COTE and you never seem to have to talk quietly.Heres to the next visit .Keep up the good work

Nicely lit busy air of clean efficiency about this friendly bistro type eatery. Excellent food well cooked and presented. Attentive staff and the prices were extremely competitive. We WILL return

delicious food and great value for money with a three course lunch - also very good staff who notice when you come to pay the bill - always a good thing

we went to the cote brasserie in Exeter on a friday night. It was very busy, had to wait to be taken to our table which was upstairs in a crowded room. The background noise from other tables was very loud, we couldn't hear ourselves speak. Even the waiter had a headache from all the noise ! The food however was good, the table service was patchy with so many tables to look after. Not sure we'd go again.

Lovely time spent at Cote Exeter. Very attentive staff and speedy service. The food was spot on and was very tasty. Had a nice time and enjoyed my time and looking forward to come back.

Had a lovely evening, really great food and lovely atmosphere, really goid value for money, would definitely recommend this restaurant, we will be returning soon.

Excellent as always. Great value and lovely food. Will definitely be back soon. Service is always excellent and not intrusive. Atmosphere superb and location is lovely

the greeting and service were very good indeed and the food was top class. i did feel the wine that was on some sort of promotion was limited by choice and could be widened a little .

An excellent evening again, lovely service with enough attention without being pestered. Our steak was very good (although we’ve had finer), but both the creme brûlée and cheese board were excellent.

Excellent food and ambience! The service was very quick and of the usual high standard. I would recommend Cote for pre-theatre meal to anyone - fantastic!

Very good service and very good choice of food and a very good drinks Manu lovely surroundings all the staff are wonderful now looking forward to are Xmas do and a few meals in between

Really disappointed with the food - is Cote moving downmarket? We have been regular customers over several years but not sure that we will return after this experience.

Delightful atmosphere, great staff and lovely food. Overall brilliant! One of our favourite places. In summer, sitting outside with the Cathedral opposite is truly an experience.

Enjoyed a lovely n Meal but it was a little chaotic to start with the staff running around but not actually being attentive Normally better service

A lovely tasty meal. Only down side was that it was very noisy as restaurant packed and there are no soft furnishings to absorb the noise. It was hard to converse.

We all thought the meal was excellent and the service was perfect. The loos and back corridor leading there were a little untidy but would definitely go again. The noise level in the restaurant was quite high but in keeping with a popular venue.

The service was great, the food and wine were delicious - thanks again to the wonderful staff at Cote for making the evening so great!

Lovely food, great atmosphere, good service - all in a nice setting. We like the fact that Cote is child friendly but still has a more sophisticated feel than other chains.

Great food and service. One of Exeter’s best value for money restaurants and great atmosphere. Always good and never had any complaints from eating here on many occasions

We've been visiting Cote ever since it opened in Exeter and before we moved to Devon, in Guildford. Today we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary - it was the obvious choice. There are some restaurants where it's difficult to choose what you want to eat because there isn't anything you really, really want to eat, but at Cote the choice is difficult because you want to eat virtually everything! Thank you to all the lovely, friendly staff and especially for our delicious complimentary bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. We hope to be back soon!

Excellent and swift service meant that we were able to have our meal in good time before attending an evening event. Varied menu and good food
