Well presented and tasty two courses from the a la cartel menu. Plenty of choice. It seems main meals are a complete meal but the menu does not necessarily say so. Should have asked waiter rather than ordering extras. Good service and all in all enjoyable.

We were a party of 5. As ever, the food was great, the service excellent, and the atmosphere was lively. I don't know of another chain restaurant that is so consistently good.

We are always pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious. We sat outside although we had booked a table inside. The two/three course menu is great. We both had mackerel on sourdough as starters and sea bass as main. Delicious ! Service perfect ! 👍 Only downside is that there's noisy building work everywhere but nothing to to with Côte.

Delightful. Staff were fabulous. Not too keen about the "optional gratuity of 12.5%" I think it is too much, what's wrong with 10%. Thank you

Great location, interesting layout and excellent staff. Unusually for Côte we had to complain about one of the main courses that we chose, as the steak was very tough. Not a problem, another one was supplied without fuss, which was perfect. When the bill arrived, no charge was made for that course. Thank you Côte, great customer service

We had a lovely meal at Cote Exeter, there was a wide choice of meals available including a special celebration menu which my son enjoyed, particularly the duck main course. My goats cheese and roasted vegetable salad was delicious but I would like to see more vegetarian options on the menu. The service was, as always, excellent.

Starters were very good. We all had ribeye steak for main course. Though cooked very well (i.e. rare was rare) the meat itself was not great - a good third of it was gristle/inedible. Service was fine but relatively high service charge in your bill (12.5%). It is optional but prefer to be left to decide for myself how much service is worth.

We enjoyed a relaxed evening at Cote Exeter. The early evening menu was really good value with plenty to choose from, the food when it arrived was good - well cooked and flavoured. The service was attentive but not pushy, we were given plenty of time to chat after our meal and not rushed out. A good choice of venue to catch up with a friend.

Great value food - we had the set lunch. The portion sizes were not as big as if we had selected from the main menu but were plenty big enough, and we were able to have three courses as we were not too full. All courses were very good and served quickly. Pleasant surroundings overlooking Exeter Cathedral.

Very good service and great ambience in the Exeter Cote Brasserie, overlooking the Cathedral. Lovely views across the close, especially if you have a table upstairs. We had the 10 year celebration dinner. The duck was cooked to a perfect pink, and a generous portion. The Grand Marnier Crepes were delicious. Would recommend the 10 year anniversary menu while it lasts. Very good quality food options and good value for money.
