ABode Exeter, overlooking Exeter's magnificent Cathedral, provides a stunning setting for what has already become Exeter's premier dining venue. The light and spacious dining room is at once beautiful yet not overly formal. This sets the tone for Michael Caines cuisine that is similarly considered, produced from the freshest seasonal and local produce and ingredients.
Executive Chef Tom Williams-Hawkes and his team work with skill and imagination to produce brilliant food that is served with professional style and efficiency by our friendly front-of-house team. Our wine list is organised by grape variety to facilitate understanding and selection, and our trained staff are always ready to assist with advice on what wines go best with which dishes in order to enhance your dining experience.
The Michael Caines dining experience
Start off with a flûte of Champagne in the Michael Caines Champagne and Cocktail Bar while perusing the à la carte menu that changes with the seasons before moving in to the stunning dining room to enjoy your meal at your leisure. If there is anything at all that our staff can do to make your dining experience more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to ask.
"Michael Caines for lunch"
Our restaurant has established a reputation locally for serving the best 2- or 3-course lunch in the city. The short lunch menu changes daily or weekly, depending on what is available and in season, and gives a real taste of our stylish and high quality cuisine at an excellent value price. Moreover, we respect the busy demands on your time and guarantee to serve you lunch — two courses with coffee should you wish — within one hour. Should time not be an issue, then you are naturally invited to linger over your meal as long as you like.
