Côte Restaurant Exeter

Great waitress, she was helpful and charming, quick service, delicious tuna, always is. Easy website for booking and was accommodated earlier than booking. Overall, good place for lunch in Exeter.

Poor service, only the manager checked if food was ok , asked once No wine poured for us Very poor quality main meal (Breton chicken) Got fed up waiting for waitresses to come back for coffee order so didn’t bother having any! Disappointing!

Really lovely leisurely Saturday lunch with three good friends. Food was excellent and as usual there was a great atmosphere. Definitely a favourite place for me.

Very enjoyable meal. Particularly impressed with the range of gluten free options. As a celiac I'm usually limited to just one or two choices....We'll certainly be back

Hadn’t found Cote until a few weeks ago. Now have been twice in as many weeks! Excellent service which wouldn’t be out of place in a 5 star Fitzrovia place. Lovely food at reasonable price. Easy to book, very welcoming.

Fantastic ambiance, friendly staff, incredible food! We really enjoyed it and will be back again soon.

Simply EXCELLENT! Waiting staff are all characters and provide a polished and professional service. Food value beyond comparison...PLEASE OPEN A COTE IN TORBAY!!!

Food was great. I felt we were a bit squeezed in. And it was noisy.......but I still really enjoyed it. Will definitely go back. Steak wad great. Thanks

Two of us enjoyed a delicious lunch at Exeter Cote today (a delightfully sunny Sunday in March) and we are already looking forward to a return visit! We were lucky enough to be seated by the window downstairs with a wonderful view of the Cathedral. Our fish dishes (salmon grilled to perfection and accompanied by ratatouille and a fantastic tuna salad Nicoise, expertly seared and accompanied by a beautiful salad of Romaine lettuce, still soft boiled egg quarters, black olives, sliced red onion and green beans) were gorgeous and the generous slices of crisp, freshly baked French bread made the meal all the more delicious. The venue, ambiance, service and food could not have been better! Next time we'll explore the menu further!

Lovely locations, fabulous food and very friendly helpful service, if a little too slow for our liking as the staff seemed to be stretched too thinly

Very good as usual and service was good just felt the food was rather salty restaurants should be looking at ways to reduce salt in their dishes I had whitebait and haddock

Love Cote...Meal was great - v generous portions too! Buzzy atmosphere. Waiters v attentive, friendly and helpful. Only thing I object to with Cote is that they automatically add 12.5% service charge on to the bill. This is very unfair and unnecessary...I would like to decide how much to offer and how to pay it. I sometimes ask for the charge to be taken off and then pay cash to the waiter, but this is a faff and I shouldn't have to do it...

Always a very pleasant experience! Staff are friendly, efficient and welcoming. The food as usual was tasty and wine list always pleasing! Thank you Cote.See you again soon

Food is so nice there but they can’t cope when it’s busy. I booked a table a week in advance but when I arrived it was as if I was just placed anywhere on a random table as the one I booked had obviously been given to someone else. There was just a bad atmosphere and I wanted to leave the time I was there.

Service wasn’t great, food was nice as was the atmosphere.

Great evening, lovely food and good service. Very attentive waitress and enjoyable evening. Tucked away on a corner rather than by the window, which was a shame, having booked well in advance.

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch with my daughter and grandson. Cote is everything that a good restaurant should be - food, service - brilliant! I live down in Cornwall and don't get to go to Exeter too often. This is our second time at Cote, but it certainly won't be the last.

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight, as always. Great food, great service great table. The whole family well looked after from start to finish.Recommend the Exeter Cote experience to anyone.

Unfortunately we did not. The noise level in the restaurant was unbearable. The table next to us was so loud we had to raise our voices to be heard. The waitress very kindly moved us for the dessert course to a table downstairs but we were directly under the air conditioning and got very cold. We consequently rushed our meal. It should have been a pleasant evening to say thank you to a very dear friend, it was ruined and based on this experience I shall not be returning.

Inexperienced staff, food quality was poor, but credit to the staff, for taking the cost of the moules off our bill and gave us a free desert and a free glass of Champagne, for the one I accidentally knocked over. This was an unusually disappointing experience, particularly as this was my birthday treat. I am regular user of Cote Brazz, Exeter but this was my worst visit to date.

Great staff very friendly but food this time was not great we do has meal often in it's great but this time food let's us down

Always a pleasure to have lunch at Cote Exeter. The menu choices are nicely varied and the food consistently good. The staff are friendly, non-pushy and never try to hurry their customers,

Very average. Everyone would've appreciated green veg with meals. Very lacking. We did like the attentive waitress service. We will not recommend or eturn to any cote brasserie anywhere for a speciall occasion. Very dull.

I enjoyed my meal tremendously but my friend, a non-meat eater, found the fish portion small and without potatoes, so she said she was still hungry when she left.

Superb surroundings, excellent service and delicious food - my husband loved his Father’s Day treat! If you haven’t tried Côte yet, book a table - good food is guaranteed.

Easy to book, friendly staff, great atmosphere, fantastic menu, attentive servers, superbly. Cooked! Great lunch choice definitely going again. The only issue, due to Cotes popularity, was that conversation was hard to hear above all the other diners!!!

We had a very good meal today topped off with a dessert featuring a birthday message for my husband. Our waitress was wonderful and we will certainly return very soon.

Great meal. Wonderful attentive staff. Regular customer - would highly recommend. Early bird menu excellent value as is the prestige set. Service consistently excellent. Lovely staff

What a wonderful place, I just want to say an insane thank you to Dan and his team. Seriously made our night by helping me to celebrate my mums birthday. He was so understanding and kind about our situation. He is a true credit to your team. Thank you to everyone who was working on the night of our visit. You were all so lovely and kind. You made my mums night and I couldn’t be more grateful. 03/05/2019

Exceptional in every way. We were particularly impressed by the warm welcome given to all three of us and with the splendid service from our Argentinian waitresss. Well done

Another very enjoyable meal. Had a window table this time which was great. Staff as usual were very friendly and we didn’t feel rushed. Very good value for money for what we had.

We had breakfast at Exeter Cote overlooking the Cathedral Green on a beautiful morning, the service, food, atmosphere and value for money was as usual top notch.

Lovely food, exceptional service and a great ambiance as ever.

Lovely setting, views and service but a little slow and main meals didn’t arrive at the same time plus forgotten item. Offer of free dessert was a nice touch. Perhaps the restaurant overall was very busy, just quiet on our floor.

Lovely food, beautiful outlook (Exeter Cathedral) and good service. Thank you.

The French Onion Soup was divine! Really lovely visit, thanks.

Lovely as always... excellent food and staff! Sat in the window with the sun shining in looking at the beautiful Exeter Cathedral, with a complimentary birthday drink .

Sadly we were booked for an evening meal, but had to cancel because of our friends illness, so the two of us rebooked for lunch. As always, lovely food, great service and excellent value. The consistency of Cote is extraordinary. we have never been disappointed at any of the many Cote restaurants we have visited. Thank you.

My partner and I have come to expect a high standard from Côte Exeter and we were not disappointed.

Have celebrated our last three wedding anniversaries here and two or three birthdays. Excellent as always except no complimentary pre dinner prosecco this time. A nice touch but guess the accountants have been at work!!!

Food, service and ambiance was exceptional. This visit was a romantic meal for two. I can highly recommend the smoked salmon starter, fillet steak and tarte au citroen.

We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious, perfect portion size and very tasty. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. I requested a window seat which we got.

Great service , lovely food !very good price for set menu . It was a great of choice of food . Will definitely come back. Thanks

Great atmosphere, delicious food and really helpful staff - can’t ask for more!

Lovely staff, lovely food, and my request for a quiet seat by the window was acknoledged. We sat on the top floor and it was perfect.

Really good. Everyone in the party enjoyed the food and service

Lovely choice of dishes and value for minty wines. alongside great service at Exeter Côte yet again for my birthday lunch this year. Will be returning soon

Lively and comfortable. Swift and friendly service. Very good food, generous portions and well cooked and presented. good range of choice on menu. Very reasonable for the price.

Delicious food and a wonderful first floor view of Exeter Cathedral.

Excellent food, service, location. Only reason it's not a five is because we had to send a side dish back as wasn't cooked and the second time it still wasn't cooked....
