Cafe Lafayette

Took my beautiful niece for her birthday lunch today. Absolutely delicious & great service from Jessica. The owner Fred even came by my table to introduce himself. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

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. Again, the food here is generally very well done and it is nice to have a good quality restaurant here in the Exeter area, but I would not return here based on their pricing.
