Cafe Lafayette serves American and French style cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. You can dine inside or outdoors in their open patio with brickwork and umbrellas. The menu is divided into appetizers and entrees, and seems to rotate. The food is well prepared overall: the grilled prawns with garlic is an excellent appetizer, their steaks are good quality and seasoned well. Service is polite. My quibble with Cafe Lafayette and why I give them three stars, is their pricing. While the portions for the entrees themselves are reasonable, I don't see them as being roughly $50 per person and that is without wine or other beverages. The appetizer, though delicious, should not be $25 for six prawns....
Something has changed about the place. Our group arrived for sunday brunch, and found the place completely dead. We were one of very few tables at prime bunch time. The menu seemed extremely expensive, $32 for any item, for BREAKFAST food. Sneaky 18% gratuity for 6 or more people added as a “service fee”. $6.50 penalty if you split a meal. Business is clearly going under and these prices and shady fees left a bad taste in our mouths. $150 for two people for brunch?? Sadly used to love the place and everything else was fine, but won’t return under this management.
what a pleasant surprise to have the French cuisine in the central valley and also cooked by a legitimate French! it was a pleasure to meet the man responsible for such a delicious dinner. my man and I enjoyed every aspect of the restaurant; atmosphere, service and eating! all excellent, a beautiful culinary experience when that is what they are looking for in the picturesque city exeter. merci chef pour la nourriture fantastique, mes compliments à vous et à votre femme pour l’excellent service !
The restaurant looks nice and the staff was friendly. That's pretty much all the praise I can give to this restaurant. For spending $90 per person I would have expected much better tasting food. The bread was home made and was delicious and their french onion was good. The duck was dry and the risotto had way too much asparagus. Escargot was ok. Chicken and potatoes were ok as well, but nothing to justify such a high price. I've had many $20 meals that were much better than this.

Great Friendly Service For Brunch. We were a party of 15 and our food was set down hot and delicious. Our waiter was Very Friendly, and very Hospitable even though a few of us move seats and not in the seat they ordered from. I can not wait to stop by for dinner some day and hope I get the same server the did an amazing job with the 15 of us. Service: Dine in
Was very hopeful based on Yelp reviews. Talk about disappointment. Prices do NOT reflect the quality of the food. The service was the only redeeming factor to this place. Save your time and go elsewhere. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
Celebrating a birthday and an anniversary, food wonderful as usual. My rosemary crusted rack of lamb was yummy.
Great customer service, great variety of wine and a very cozy place to enjoy a nice dinner.
