Lovely view over the Cathedral. Fantastic Service, which was both friendly and efficient! Food was excellent and Menu offered very good variety. Only issue was the Crêpe for dessert which seemed to have been confused with a papadum

We frequently dine out and the meal at Cote Brasserie was one of the most enjoyable. Conveniently located in central Exeter with views over the Cathedral Green. Freindly enthusiastic staff. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a very good meal with excellent service. The prices were very reasonable. The restaurant has superb views over Cathedral Green so try to aim for a window table upstairs.

Very good service, excellent food and lovely views from the window. It was very noisy with some large , rather loud parties in. As it is one big open space it was a bit hard to have a conversation.

Lovely atmosphere, great location and view. Good service. Set menu offers good value but pricey if you choose out of set menu. None of our party of 4 fancied set menu and 2 courses, (main and pudding) plus coffee cost £98.

Cote Brasserie Exeter, alway good food and very attentive staff. One of our favourite places to eat. My husband has to eat little and often so when we eat at Cote he can manage all three courses and feel normal like the rest of the party. No many places like Cote

Cote is one of the best casual dining chains with a varied selection of well prepared and well presented food. The Exeter Cote is very crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings but its popularity provides a great casual atmosphere. We use it to entertain friends and family visiting us in Exeter.

Cote Exeter is a real favourite with family and friends. Always consistent, great food, and attentive staff. There is always a buzzy atmosphere, and seems to be busy lunch and evening times ,which speaks for itself.

A really lovely evening. Never eaten there before. Food was great quality and the service was really good. Quick to clear plates away but didn't feel pressured to order quickly or leave once we had finished. Lovely view of the cathedral too.

Very disappointing. I have eaten there often and as you would expect from a chain the food has always been predictable but very acceptable. This time however, we waited an hour (we were going to a concert so needed to eat and go) and finally were served some very poorly prepared food. Some of the asparagus was actually rotten and one of the main courses - grilled fish and mashed potato - was cold and had obviously been cooked a long time before. I have to commend the Manager who obviously saw our distress and we were not charged for the meal. I think he had a hard job that evening! I would be reluctant to return to what had previously been a standard pre or post concert venue.

Great service - we arrived early and we were seated without a problem! The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The food was fantastic, but I really feel, that the service was so fantastic, I probably would not have noticed if the food has been mediocre.

Cote Exeter has a wonderful location within 15 minutes walk from our home. The view, overlooking the cathedral, and the ambience of the restaurant, is in itself an experience. Lovely meal, great service and excellent value today and the weather only made it even better.

The food was beautiful as always and served incredibly quickly - all very hot & so nicely presented. Our Waiter was very efficient & pleasant and there is just one reason I gave a score of 5 rather than 6. We were shown to a table (we had booked beforehand) upstairs & in future we will always ask to sit downstairs. It is incredibly noisy upstairs - to the extent that it did spoil our meal as it was difficult to converse with each other. To anyone who hasn't been here I would advise booking a downstsirs table. Other than that........the meal was lovely and very good value.

Wonderful table, great menu as always changing and excellent value. We were kept waiting for our food but the staff acknowledged that before we had to say something and we were brought extra drinks so other than that excellent service. Looking forward to next visit!

Would have been six but I have never seen Asparagus cut in half lengthways - to stretch it. a cheap trick? Service was excellent from Tom,attentive and unobtrusive ,friendly and not garrulous.Perfect. Cote is still a favourite just don't order the Asparagus!

The staff and the service were excellent I loved the Kir Royal. The only slight criticism was that the duck jus with the confit duck was slightly over seasoned. My husbands steak was a bit grisly in parts however overall fab.

We waited nearly an hour for our food to arrive despite pre ordering in advance as timescales were tight and had to chase about this. The food was very good as always and so it remains our favourite place to dine.

I chose Asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, the Asparagus tasted as though it was the end of the season and the Hollandaise as if it was a packet mix, very disappointing as I had bought some in a supermarket at the beginning of the week and it was far superior. My Chicken was dry and the cream sauce was too rich it needed a strong veg to balance the meal. My husbands lamb however was superb, the Jersey Royals excellent, his Asparagus was caramelised, which improved them. If i booked again I would ask for downstairs as upstairs was very noisy
