Michael Caines at ABode Exeter

Exeter, at long last, offers a restaurant worthy of itself, with an aura of smart, sophisticated brasserie. Try to get a table near one of the bay windows overlooking the cathedral. As is obvious by the name, Michael Caines, a skilled chef is in charge of the overall operation. Excellent, not deluxe, raw materials are purchased and turned into an impressive array of dishes beautifully prepared and served. The dishes we've sampled have been filled with flavor and perfectly spiced. For a starter, Cornish lobster appears with avocado, watermelon, and cherry tomatoes, or else you can sample the foie gras with mango relish. Some enticing mains include roast partridge with a pumpkin fondant or else line-caught sea bass in red-wine butter.
