Côte Restaurant Exeter

Swift and efficient service with a smile, excellent range of food, beautifully prepared dishes which were well balanced and authentically French with an amazing view of Exeter Cathedral! We are big fans 😊

Efficient and pleasant service. Tasty creme fraiche and mushroom sauce with the poulet grille. Lingered over coffee and did not feel pressured at all. An enjoyable evening.

Absolutely delicious meal (as usual) and very efficient and friendly service, they couldn't have been more accommodating. It is always a pleasure to dine at Cote

Excellent attentive service and very good food. Only slight downsides were 1. Having booked a table several days prior, our table was next to the waiters station which was disappointing and the general noise level was high.

Very cordial, no-nonsense - with a splendid table overlooking Exeter Cathedral Green. Polite, experienced staff who clearly know what thy are doing without being at all intrusive. An interesting lunchtime menu for August - tres bien.

Excellent , Table was held for us even though we were late , food and service were excellent, we would use Cote Exeter again, best location in town

Last Thursday had very good excellent value lunch served by very friendly and helpful staff. Have used this bistro, and the on in Bath, several times and have mostly enjoyed the experience

Only a 5 as the bill arrived before we could order coffee . Nice touch writing happy birthday on mum's dessert plate. She was thrilled, thank you. The food was delicious.

Lovely food as always. Very friendly staff and good service. Just be careful as add 12% gratuity to bill automatically. We always visit there when n Exeter

Appreciative of the fact that they held our table when we requested them to do so as we were unavoidably delayed. Food was consistently good.

Enjoyed another nice meal at Cote. The table we were given had a lovely view of the Exeter Cathedral. The set menu choice was excellent and all dishes were tasty and fresh. All finished with a perfect coffee. Service was again very attentive. Merci

never fails to disappoint, lovely food and atmosphere. our friends birthday lunch was most enjoyable, and both service and food, were very good and look forward to our next visit

My husbands first visit to Cote, his steak was one of the best ever!lovely food, efficient and friendly staff. We had a super evening looking forward to the next one!

My partner and I had a very enjoyable evening at Cote Brasserie in Exeter. The food was delicious, staff very friendly and we had a lovely view of the Cathedral. Will definitely return!

We went to Cote last Saturday early evening. The food was excellent & the staff very friendly & helpful. we sat upstairs which was nice as we overlooked the cathedral. The only negative was that it was very hot upstairs as the weather was very humid & no air up there.

Fantastic position overlooking cathedral. Food very good, freshly prepared. Staff a little aloof, could be friendlier. We enjoyed ourselves overall and it was a nice way to introduce my Irish relatives to Exeter.

Great service & great food. Exceptional value. Lovely setting. A wide choice of traditional French dishes on the menu which are all authentic tasting. One of our favourite places to dine.

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was superb. A very enjoyable experience. We will come again even though we do not live locally.

We were given a table near the window as requested ; the service and food was first class as always. We have found the Cote Brasserie the nearest to a French bistro.

Excellent evening. Food was all very good and the service was great. Would definitely recommend this as a great place to eat and enjoy in Exeter

Whenever I go to Exeter I try to eat at Cote. Also will use the new one in Winchester. Good food and excellent service. Thank you

Food was good but being served three courses in an hour was more like a fast food joint. It then took over 20 mins to get the bill!!

Excellent as usual. Attentive & friendly staff. Good service. We had the 3-course lunch menu which we considered very good value & the food was very tasty. My favourite venue!

Great location, attentive staff and good food. Although this is a chain restaurant it did give the feel of a decent independent. We would certainly go again.

We managed to acquire a table outside to look on to the cathedral. The service and food were splendid! Would highly recommend and go again!

When our desert arrived the pots were very hot but the crumble was cold. It was replaced with no question and a goodwill amount was knocked off the bill. Our experience overall was very good.

It was my second time at Cote Brasserie the food and Champagne was amazing thank you, will be back, and sure to recommend to friends.

Great food and attentive but not over intrusive service made for a very enjoyable meal. Great value for money was also a positive factor for our visit

A very pleasant meal in an elegant room overlooking Exeter Cathedral. Lovely though it is, hard flooring does not absorb sound well and perhaps makes it a difficult choice for people with impaired hearing. As ever the staff were friendly, courteous and absolutely professional. This wasn't my favourite menu but that's an entirely personal comment, and the food is consistently good value and rarely disappoints. This particular branch has an especially agreeable ambiance.

Lovely buzz of atmosphere. Staff friendly, alert, and service is always with a smile, which makes us feel welcome. Food appetizing and delicious. No complaints.

Lovely breakfast, booked for myself and my daughter. I had eggs royale and she had the vegetarian breakfast. Service excellent, no waiting around for juice or coffee. Love the layout on the tables, it always looks so clean and fresh. Have booked again for next week!

Both the food and the service were 0f the highest quality.My wife in a wheelchair "no problem,sir". Very easy to book online.Agood lunch was had by all.Highly recommended

We had a very good meal, with very attentive and helpful staff and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. There was a busy, buzzy atmosphere and no delays between courses.

We would have put it at 6 if you hadn't expected us to pay the staff as well as the meal. The 12 1/2% service charge was a bit over the top

First time visit for breakfast, as always we'll cooked and presented with very friendly and attentive staff. Also bought a voucher for a gift, again very efficiently dealt with and presented in a gift box.

Lovely food, helpful and friendly service. Plenty of choice for the vegetarian in our group and the selection for the carnivores was also great. Yum

We had a excellent meal today with a lovely bottle of wine.the service at the Exeter branch are excellent they take a genuine interest in their customers. We go there regularly .

Visited on our wedding anniversary recently. Fantastic service fantastic food... not a lot more one can say!! Try it for yourselves I can garuntee you won't be disappointed.

As always good food and service, take a lot of beating and really good value for money. Only minor issue is the noise, like a lot of other eateries. Won't stop me eating there though.

Great views from first floor restaurant overlooking Cathedral Green. Good food and wine. Friendly, cheerful service. Always a pleasure to re-visit when we are in Exeter.

As a chain this was better than most of the others and in an amazing setting The house with red was actually very good choice

Easy to book online. Given the table I requested for my Birthday dinner. Very helpful & friendly staff as usual. Good service & excellent food which can always be relied on at Cote. A very enloyable experience.

Lovely breakfast again! Perfect service very happy with visit, food always excellent. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

A super Sunday lunch as always at this Cote! Gorgeous chicken and gratin potatoes! Crème caramel to finish. Yum! A lovely view of Exeter Cathedral too! Heartily recommend this restaurant!

The staff were extremely friendly, the food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant as a whole made the meal brilliant. We were celebrating a special occasion and it truly felt like a celebration- thank you.

The early evening 3 course set menu is great value meaning you can have that extra glass (or bottle !) of wine (their muscadet is superb). Have eaten later before from full menu (portions generous) still fair sized with deal. We had different mains, all cooked to perfection. I paid the extra £2.00 for steak frites, meat pink, juicy and tender, may order some extra veg/salad between us next time, Husband delighted with the lemon sorbet and I had just the best creme brulee . Prompt and attentive service as always, all topped off with a view of the magnificent cathedral. The right combo for a perfect evening.

Very friendly helpful staff, lovely delicious food, good location near Exeter Cathedral, not cheap but worth the money, especially for a special occasion. Would definitely recommend.

We are 'Regulars' & have come to expect the usual high standards from the Exeter staff. Once again we were not disappointed! Keep up the good work everyone!

I always enjoy Cote in Exeter. The view of the cathedral is excellent and the staff couldn't be nicer and more polite if they tried. The food is quick, well cooked and worth every penny. Necessary to book.

what a gem of a find!..... the staff were charming, the setting lovely, and the menu tempting. Our meal was lovely, and all in all a very pleasant experience, will certainly come again!
