as usual, welcomed and served with excellent food and drink, with dietary needs well looked after. Pleasant surroundings and a good view of the Cathedral and Green are just small extras.

Excellent food and service, overlooking the Cathedral green. The French onion soup was really good as was the main course. I think pretty good value given the quality of the establishment.

Cote offered a very imaginative menu at a very fair price. The meals were well presented and delicious. The staff were knowledgeable and interested. Do book though , as you might expect for an excellent restaurant it is absolutely packed.

I've visited Cote several times and have always been impressed. We had a great time on this visit but my food was slightly overlooked and the waiter was a bit offish.

The Exeter Cote has an efficient welcoming staff. Food is excellent and staff listen to individual preferences e.g. 'sauces on the side'. The upper floor can be noisy when full but it is difficult to see what can be done about that.

My friend and I were made very welcome. As I am partially disabled, I was offered a comfortable seat at the side. The atmophere was great and service professional. The waitress service was also excellent - very attentive and friendly - and the food served fresh and hot. Can't fault it.

Lovely place to dine, great atmosphere, very friendly attentive staff and excellent food. The only minus is , I took my daughter there for breakfast a couple of weeks ago and they had no cafetière coffee as they were all broken, Ann last night even though we dined early that had run out of confit of duck. ( my favourite). It won't stop me returning.
