Very good food and atmosphere, a bit overpriced but also a great location. Had quite a few vegetarian options, as well as gluten free buns and pizza bases - the gluten free pizza I had was decent quality.

Very tasty food and lots of gluten free options. Portions are not the largest, certainly not the cheapest, but worth the money. Service was very nice. Restaurant is unfriendly. The smoked BBQ burgers are particularly recommended. Fries too weak for my taste and not crispy enough, but they are only side dishes, so it's better to order one more main course.

We were visiting Exeter for the weekend and came across Cotë. Pleased we did as we really enjoyed the food here. My son is Coeliac and we chose here for its GF menu. It was an excellent, diverse and inclusive menu. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The booth we sat I. Was private and comfortable. The single and only negative point was the noise level. It was very cosy and the noise was overwhelming - maybe some soft furnishings to absorb the sound 😊 The food was delighted reasonably priced.

Shaz you were fabulous! Super friendly and welcoming! Came here for lunch with my two younger brothers and my dad and was fab! I have coeliac and I felt super safe ordering with them and the food was so delicious as always! Highly recommend. I had the beef burger which was huge and so yummy. Also the kids pancakes were incredible!

This is by far my favourite restaurant, being a coeliac is difficult when it comes to finding a decent place to eat, this place here just absolutely lives up to all expectations, the gluten free menu is perfect and has a large range of different meals, I've been multiple times and tried a few different things off the menu but my favourite is the GF Hot honey fried chicken burger 🍯🍗 🍔 The Halloumi fries are also a must! 😍 The staff here are incredible and the service couldn't be any better, the food service is quick and the staff always make sure everything is perfect with your meal and are happy to help if not! The only reason I marked it down by 1 star on Atmosphere is because I feel like it should be a whole lot busier for such a great restaurant 🤩 Places like this deserve our custom. Also in the females toilet I noticed a trolley for everybody's access with all different types of sanitary products and lady bits and bobs which I think is very thoughtful😊 Not a lot of places have the same little touches as Brightside! Will always recommend this place 👌🏼

We came for breakfast & was Served by Roxii, Roxii was very friendly, polite & helpful made us feel very welcome. Roxii got gluten free bread for me & toasted it for me, Roxii also was topping up the apple juice for us & asked if everything was ok & asked if we needed anything else. Roxii was friendly & chatty with our 3 children. A very good breakfast experience which was went smoothly with great service from Roxii.

A sticky start as my daughter who was organising the event (my other daughters Wedding pre celebrations) called when the diet had changed for one of the guests and told a baby couldnt to attend aswell even though she had booked for an "additional" high chair. Told that 48hrs needed to be given for gluten free diet and that a 5th person (a baby)!! should be reserved so we wouldnt be able to attend. She decided to tell them we wouldnt bring the baby to keep the spot. However on the day a lovely reception and the staff were wonderful Even though the baby didnt attend although table was laid up for 5! Lovely waitress x Lovely memories were made especially for my 5 year old grandaughter x Worth the service charge just issues before attendance as lady was rude on the phone
