Michael Caines Restaurant at ABode Exeter

Michael Caines at ABode Exeter, located on the beautiful Cathedral Green, is Exeter's most fabulous place to dine. Exeter is Michael's home town, and the ABode story started right here. Since 2000, Michael has been serving guests, residents, food critics and friends to his own highly individual and acclaimed style of cuisine, pioneered at nearby two-star Michelin Gidleigh Park utilising the finest ingredients and produce from the West Country. Though Michael has subsequently taken his successful dining concepts to Glasgow, Canterbury, Manchester and, most recently, Chester, the Michael Caines Restaurant at ABode Exeter is always very special.
