As always, good service, excellent food and real value for money in a wonderful venue. We have found that when we travel around the country, we can always rely on Cote to provide a consistent experience you can trust.

Really good, if I had a criticism it would be the reflected noise level, but that's being very, very, picky! Would certainly recommend to friends.

Another fabulous evening meal at Cote Exeter. This was my sons 22nd birthday and he was greeted with a celebratory glass of sparkling wine, a lovely touch. All the staff wished him happy birthday. The food was delicious and the service very efficient. A really good evening Rachel & family.

Food was generally ok although the sautéed potatoes were served with too much salt applied. Unfortunately there were not enough waiting staff working to deal with the number of customers, so the service was slow. The 12.5% service charge applied automatically therefore seemed excessive.

Lovely food as is always the way. Service was great the staff were lovely and very helpful. If possible try to get a table upstairs as the ambience is much better but it is a minor thing. We will be going back again I'm sure as my little one loves the place and the food.

Very loud due to a retirement party. They had run out of 2 deserts and 1 main. The waiter forgot to bring my starter then cleared the table after starter taking my wine. We asked for the bill at end and it to 20 minutes as he forgot. The food it's self is very very nice.

Overall, it was a really good experience. The only downsides were that first, no chutney came with the duck liver pâté (which, when served with brioche toast and no garnish, becomes a little sickly) and second, when there were four staff members grouped by the entrance upon arrival and not one greeted us for two minutes, it felt like sloppy customer service. Other than that, I would highly recommend!

Staff friendly & welcoming. Food excellent as always. Love the charcuterie board. Husband has a problem chewing at the moment & the goats cheese & sea bass were good choices (except for some of the fennel) Look forward to the next time.

We dined at the Exeter restaurant. Pleasant staff and surroundings, well thought out menu, food well cooked and presented. The prices seem reasonable. The only drawback is the gratuity automatically added to the bill. I'm usually more than happy to leave one but I'd rather decide if I want to pay one and how much it should be, rather than be nudged into it by the restaurant.

I went for a birthday meal with friends and every single one of us thought the food was incredible! We chose from the early bird menu which was exceptional value, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, and the view of the cathedral out of the window was stunning. We'll definitely be back!

We had a lovely table upstairs. We decided to eat from the set lunchtime menu which had some great choices. Both went for the pate followed by the minute steak which was excellent. Dessert was Creme Caramel and Chocolate Mousse with a Latte. Again the food was scrumptious and the nicest latte I have had in a while. Overall, lovely food with excellent service. We will book again.

Always nice in Cote Exeter and worth requesting a window table upstairs to get a good view of the Cathedral Green. Steak was a little medium relative to the medium rare request but still tasted great.

Great atomosphere and great staff. Very busy but was served quickly and all food was a very good standard. My only issue is that we found every single thing to be over-seasoned. I know it is typical of French cooking to use a lot of salt, however I was personally very disappointed as the meal would've been perfect if it wasn't as heavily seasoned.
