Excellent choice of food for each course on the lunchtime set menu
We were 2 adults and 3 children, and had the most lovely experience. The food was delicious, the service was super attentive and friendly, and it was altogether a fab experience!
The food here is always superb. Had the cod special this time and it was delicious. Best of all though, apart from the view of the Cathedral, are the staff who are always welcoming, warm and attentive. It's my favourite restaurant in Exeter. I absolutely love it!
I only have two issues: 1) I booked using a voucher for two courses £9.95 and paid £11.95 for three people and 2) the tables in the restaurant are far too close together. Having said that the service was good, the food consistently good, the menus reflect true French bistro cookery, the atmosphere is good (although a little cramped) and I shall continue to use your restaurants and recommend you to friends.
Excellent service , food and atmosphere Set menu excellent value for money and enjoyed a lovely glass of champagne
Thanks for making a fuss of the birthday girl, meal was lovely.
An excellent meal with excellent service. Would highly recommend to all friends to try the Cote experience
We had the January special offer lunch. It was excellent value for money and extremely tasty! As ever the service was impeccable. Thank you Cote once again
Wonderful atmosphere friendly staff and excellent food - what more could one want.
Love this place, always warm and inviting. Very friendly staff which make the experience memorable.
We were welcome warmly and received very courteous service. The food was superb and attractively presented.
Always love eating at Cote Exeter. Perfect location, fabulous service and delicious food. Looking forward to coming back already.
Made a very conscious effort to all say happy birthday to my mum, and gave her a free kir royale. Very attentive service and lovely food, particularly considering the value of the set menu.
A quick evening snack of Reblechon cheesy bread and some delicious prawns. Excellent french flavours and a good choice of wine by the glass. Unbeatable value. Perfect service. Our favourite reliable eatery 10/10
Lovely staff, lovely food, great value for money and a real treat!
As good as always will be back many thanks cheers
Excellent food very good value. We didn’t have to wait for our food to arrive. Lovely busy atmosphere. We shall be back soon xxxx
Food was fantastic as always. This time we felt that the service was not as good as it has been. Pudding came out at different times, ordered one port, yet got a different one. Dropped cutlery by the table and left it on floor, kept knocking back of chair. Wood serv without letter is know, felt it was pushed on.
Delicious food and great service a really lovely evening, thank you.
This was our second Monday in a row that we had been to Cote Exeter so they must be doing something right with their January promotions. We enjoyed a very tasty meal with excellent service and the free bottle of wine was areal treat. The only problem was trying to get the bill but that won’t stop us going back for such good value experiences.
An excellent meal with great service which I would thoroughly recommend.
A lovely relaxing and enjoyable evening, thanks! perfect for our anniversary.
Lovely meal tonight, is in a beautiful setting and staff are brilliant
Booked our table a day in advance and was pleasantly greeted on arrival by a gent with glasses (seemed as though he was the manager) . As far as pleasant service goes it was downhill from there. Once seated and on taking our drinks order I enquired about the complimentary aperitifs as advertised online to which our waiter practically sighed in response before going to get them. Our waiter then proceeded to sternly prompt my shy and clearly nervous 5 year old into ordering for herself, it was uncomfortable all round. The rest of the meal was then served by a different waiter (neither of which introduced themselves) and he was rude, blunt and clearly uninterested in serving us or of our enjoyment of the meal. My Grandmother, mother, myself and even my 2 children (8 & 5) were throughly disappointed with the service and atmosphere it created. The food however was faultless, it was just such a shame that a rare evening together and nice meal was overshadowed by such poor service.
Good food and great service. We were served by a lovely lady who was very polite and helpful. Will be back.
I booked a table through the link for a free bottle of wine with the meal but when I asked about it I was told |I had not! So, disappointed as I knew I'd booked this way!
Another good visit, this time with guests from some distance away. The management put us on a special table somewhat removed from the ambient noise, which was appreciated Good food and good atmosphere as ever.
As always, an excellent meal with good service and a wide choice on the menu all at reasonable prices. Thank you.
Lovely evening spent celebrating my birthday.. food excellent and service great
Lovely meal - supremely good Creme Caramel - excellent service, cheerful atmosphere. Just what we wanted, and always excellent value for money
We had lunch at Cote Exeter today. Great Food, great service, great value - as always
Had a lovely breakfast at Cote in Exeter. Staff were friendly and attentive and food was excellent!
Always a good choice for pre or after. I often go to to Cote before or after a concert or film, as I know they are really well organised. Even if they're really busy (and they usually are) they manage to serve you in good time. The noise level can be a bit high, especially if there is a big group in, so maybe not ideal for a romantic date or if you want a quiet conversation, but always good value and a vibrant buzzy atmosphere. The service is always really efficient without being intrusive.
Good food, good service, very friendly staff always a enjoyable experience.
It's always such a treat to drop by Exeter Cote on the Cathedral Green, for an early supper before a visit to the cinema/ theatre. The early evening menu is great value for money and consistently good.
Staff attentive friendly and efficient. Good wine and flavoursome food. Atmosphere always buzzy. Would thoroughly recommend.
Lovely set lunch from the special menu, great atmosphere and attentive staff.
Lovely setting with the cathedral view and great food as always. Only gripe was the waiter trying to bully us to pay the OPTIONAL gratuity on our card payment; we wanted to leave a cash tip after so felt this rather rude.
Beautiful food, great service in a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for.
Very pleased with our visit. We have now visited 3 cote brasserie and have enjoyed each one. When are you coming to Torbay!
Fantastic meal at a very reasonable price. Didn’t mind paying the gratuity as the service was excellent.
We booked using the January offer ... early evening menu 2 courses £9.95 but we were charged 16.95 each which was not our expectation ... disappointed Stroganoff meat tough
Cote maintains a consistently high level of good food and service
Had the January "sale" menu 2 courses £9.95 - amazing value and lush food. What a great offer.
A lovely atmospheric cosy restaurant on a miserable winter evening - really tender steak and a glass of robust red wine was a perfect end to the day 10/10
Lovely, as usual. I am never disappointed when I dine at Cote
Excellent food , service, & atmosphere as always! Like the January menu.
Great food amazingly good staff. A credit to your company.
My daughter and I have a lovely lunch great good and service
Lovely food as always and very good value for money. Service is excellent and very customer friendly. This is the first time we have been for quite a long time and have no idea why we have waited so long.
