Restaurants in Exeter

Harry's Restaurant

Went to Harry's for a very belated Christmas get together. The food was delicious and the service great, we had a voucher and as we did not spend all of it , very kindly noted the receipt with what was left to use in the future, this is great service, thank

Turtle Bay Exeter

I came here yesterday for a birthday celebration and their menu is so vast, unique and impressive! I tried a variety of their specialist Carribbean rums- their Cockspur pineapple is incredible and I have to say, you cant find rum like this anywhere else. The reccommendation for this rum was by our wonderful server- i believe her name was Lily, she was kind and so helpful: nothing was too much to ask of her. It is rare nowadays that you can find service like this in such a large industry but Lily has nailed her customer assistance down to a fine art, and she made the wonderful atmosphere and lovely meal complete!

The Thatched House

Warm welcome anytime. A fantastic local with great food and top beers . Staff are amazing and the events are always loads of fun . There are quizzes, live music, themed evenings or quiet drinks with friends. ?

Thai Orchid

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. Best Thai restaurant I’ve been to for years. Amazing attentive experience and service, the food was perfect portions and the flavour was incredible. Will definitely be returning, couldn’t recommend more!

Stage

Just had an absolutely amazing lunch. The service was first class. The food was some of the best I’ve had in recent years.If you’ve experienced mediocre food and disinterested service since the pandemic (or even before) go to Stage as it is the complete opposite.Affordable Michelin standards tucked away on Magdalen Road.

Flamenca Spanish Bar and Restaurant Exeter

Great atmosphere, super staff, amazing food. Highly recommend. We ordered from both the standard menu and added in some specials also. The truffle croquettes were my favourite but everything we ordered was fresh and delicious.Dietary restrictions: The Staff asked about allergies and checked with the bar/ kitchen when we ordered if they were safe for me. Strawberry, Melon, Kiwi and Shellfish Allergies.

BFK @ Hanlons Brewery

Food was delicious, service as its should. Did meet my expectations. No disappointment. Only thing on drinks i would ask more information about ales before ordering just to know what to expect ?

The Daisy Cafe

Such a lovely little café with a great atmosphere. Charlotte was very nice, welcoming and friendly.The food was very nice and freshly cooked. We need more places like this in Exeter! Thank you, I really enjoyed it.

Hook Fish and Chips

We really enjoyed the fish and chips here and maybe these were the best fish and chips we ever had. Staff was incredibly friendly too and the prices are more than fair. We would definitely come back.

Dinosaur Cafe

I like this café. It's simple and straightforward. I was sorry to see that the former chef was no longer there but the food was what I wanted. It was nice to see that a former member of the team had returned. Prices were noticeably higher than our previous visit.

Bill's Exeter Restaurant

Disappointed on this latest visit that a 10% 'Service Charge' was automatically added to the bill, and although marked as 'optional' there didn't appear to be any means of removing what is just a further tax from the bill. The service was fine, but I really object to having extra monies added without consent.

Boston Tea Party Exeter

Delicious breakfast, tasty coffee, fun colouring for all ages! I had the veggie hash which was fab.Really lovely, surprisingly large, airy top floor with good decorations and light. Steep stairs to get to it but you can order from the table once up there.Really friendly staff!

Steaks N Sushi

Came down to Exeter for a couple of days and me and the wife are a lover of oriental cuisine, we were so amazed by the great service and delicious food we had.Thankyou for delicious food and we both loved the tag at the bottom of the menus,"We don't make fast food, we make great food quicky as possible" brilliant.

The Galley Restaurant

The service was excellent. The small seating area is comfortable and relaxed. The food was fantastic, we both had three courses and wine and enjoyed every one. The stand outs were the scallops, beef bavette and espresso parfait with walnut ice cream. We will definitely come back and I'm already recommending to friends.

Opa Taverna (Greek Restaurant)

Having looked at the reviews I took my family. I wasn’t disappointed, good amount of food and cooked well. Nice and tasty, definitely worthy of five stars. All four of us were pleased. If I lived in the area would definitely go back.

Côte Exeter

A great lunch with friends today. The sea bass and the green beans with almonds were delicious. I was very happy with how my wish to avoid garlic was dealt with - some restaurants make me feel like I’m being a nuisance with this request.

Denley's Essence Of India

We loved everything about this restaurant. Great food with an amazing menu served by really friendly waiters. Highly recommended ?Vegetarian options: Everyone including our veggie friend loved the food although there was a lot of it for smaller appetites ?

The Lord Nelson Pub & Kitchen

First time eating here since it changed hands and wow what a pleasant surprise! Really fantastic roast at a great price - genuinely beats a lot of the local offerings. So welcoming to our young children, lovely staff, will 100% be returning.

The Agricultural Inn

Great welcome. Really interesting menu with pub staples but also inventive and taste/flavour driven options. Wide range of drinks available. Our party had someone who need gluten free and that was very comfortably and carefully dealt with. Another person wanted a second starter as a main and again that was fine. We did not have room for dessert but they looked great Will definitely go again

The Turf

Brilliant location, superb food , excellent service. Be advised you will probably need to walk some distance to get there but well worth it. We will be back, again. Sunday lunch is superb.

Zukis Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

We stopped for breakfast here in July as we wanted something different. The food was excellent. Very tasty, homemade and fresh. The cafe was very full so we had to wait a little while. Our drinks came with our meal, next time I will ask for them first. The decor is attractive and the staff are all friendly.

The Cocktail Club Exeter

Cocktails are super delicious! The service was super fast and the attention to detail to the drinks was incredible. Was super cool watching the staff make the drinks! Super affordable for students, really nice scene, will be returning!

White Hart

Lunch for 7 ladies on a recent Saturday. We made use of the 30% off main courses offer. Sally kindly seated us in the bar on the Hotel Reception side of the Hotel, which was a pleasant change. She also took our order at the table (usually we have to order at the bar). The food & service was good & we all enjoyed our meal & drinks. I would just ask for the bar to stock a zero apple cider. Apparently zero beer is available, so why discriminate against cider drinkers? I note you offer a good range of alcoholic ciders.......Despite this, we will be back. Thank you! ?

Winslade Manor Restaurant & Bar

Had a delightful evening meal at Winslade Manor. Beautifully restored Georgian building creating a real mood for an evening out. Our server (Char) was really impressive: warm, knowledgeable and unusually had eaten most of the dishes (including specials) so was really able to guide us. The food itself was delicious: local produce, beautifully cooked and artistically presented. We had smoked pork belly starter, main courses of duck and venison and a pudding of chocolate and cherry mousses. All supported by a lovely organic Prosecco. The evening was fantastic value at £80 for the two of us on their half price January deal. We can’t wait to return.

Jack in the Green Inn

Relaxed environment. Lovely staff. Great food at a reasonable price. We all enjoyed dining at this Inn for the first, but not the last, time.Parking: Easy to park.

The Kitchen Fresh Food Ltd

I ordered through deliveroo from yourselves for the first time and the vegetarian burger, garlic cheese chips and nacho were amazing. Thank you so much; I’ll be definitely ordering again ?

The Gurkha Kitchen

Me and my wife were having a weekend away in exeter celebrating our 6 year weddings anniversary, we are from Birmingham, and we want to take this restaurant back home with us so we can eat there every week, food was delicious couldnt fault it, a must go to if your in the area, it was fantastic.

Exe Restaurant

I can not rate this restaurant enough. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The manager really kindly and unexpectedly treated us to a drink as it was my husbands birthday, which really took us aback. The mixologist made me a delicious amaretto sours, best one I have had. He also recommended a rum and mixer to me, which was delicious.For starters, I had a garlic, spinach, and ricotta gnudi, which was like a foodgasm. It was unbelievably good. My husband had chorizo and prawns, which he enjoyed. We then had pork belly roast, which was equally as delicious. I loved the range of vegetables that came with it, and the sides were also lovely. The portion size was very generous and really good value for money. Unfortunately, we were too full for pudding, but I could see from others that they were also generous portions and looked lovely. The staff were attentive, friendly , and looked super smart. I loved that this restaurant was classy without being pretentious. I would highly recommend Exe Restaurant.

Ship Inn

Came here once to watch the open mic night, and another time to catch up with friends. The atmosphere is very homely and the barstaff are super friendly and welcoming. The only thing is that i think there should be a security guard or something as a couple of men did get rowdy and made me and my friend a little uncomfortable at one point. Other than that i couldn’t fault the place and i had a great night!

Efes Grill

Efes is one of my favourite restaurants in Exeter. The food is freshly made with good portions and the staff are always friendly. Azad in particular has been a great server. This is an amazing place.

Hogsbrook Lakes

This is one of the best well managed and maintained Fishery we have ever been to. And will happily find campsites near here just to fish at it. The owner a lovely friendly lady.Parking: Plenty of space when people park with sense.Wheelchair accessibility: Most of the swims are accessible for a mobility scooter so should be OK for wheelchair users too.

Costa Express

Shell

I'm a driving instructor, so on the road all day and popping in to the Shell garage is a fairly regular occurrence. Staff are without fail, cheerful, kind and helpful. Garage is well run and loo is clean! I'd be lost without it at times, particularly when I need a wee!Thank you for being there ?

Subway

I loved all the food and drinks Choices and all the Atmosphere is Amzing seats to sit dwon to eat and drink and the service are fabulous teams member and staffing are very pentley to all Customers when they are severing them food and drinks

McDonald's

Can't agree with the poor reviews on here. I stop here almost weekly as its on my work route. Its also on the main exit from Devon so gets extremely busy in holiday periods. Yes it can be a bit of a wait sometimes but the staff are always working as quickly as they can and I have always found them to be more polite and pleasant than at many other branches. The food is always fresh and hot too.

Subway

I ordered a foot long roast chicken toasted with cheese and a portion of meat balls, I had to stop the woman putting the meat balls in someone's else bag and when I did get them they where bloody cold in the middle (remember to tell them to heat them up first)

McDonald's

Five BIG stars goes to ...... - Busy lunchtime when we called in. Found a table. Ate our meal. 1 - Very kind employee offered to take away our detritus when she noticed we'd finished. 2 - Visited the toilets, dreading, honestly, what they'd be like. They were PRISTINE as far as CLEANLINESS was concerned - it really took me by surprise. WELL DONE and thanks to those who maintain it! ? ? ?

Mount Radford

Had a meal for a family members birthday, there was 13 of us so we were advised a 45 min wait which I totally understand as there was so many of us but I do not believe we waited that long. Food came out together. It was delicious and everyone ate it all. The barman (sorry didn’t catch his name) was polite attentive and very professional as was the landlord. I can not recommend enough. Thank you

Rockfish Exeter

Another great meal in Rockfish Exeter. Slight delay on the chips coming out, but overall good food and good service we expect here. Not cheap, but the choice and quality is really good,

The Secret Garden

Staff were so friendly and chatty, the food is absolutely lovely and the view is out of this world! Fantastic little spot and perfect for while my daughter was next door doing her horse riding lessons at Hilltop. Looking forward to coming here again. ?

Herbies

Lovely restaurant in the centre of Exeter. Really cute atmosphere inside, and the staff were really friendly. Their 'specials' dish, a Caribbean curry, was really flavourful, and plenty of other things on the menu also sounded amazing.

Goto

Delicious ramen & delicate tempura. Portions slightly on the small side but the noodles were still reasonably priced. Would like to go back for sushi some time!

Brody's Breakfast Bistro

Came in at this morning was greeted right away and the server was very happy and nice to us not sure of his name but would just like to say it was very nice to see how much effort he put in, very attentive and quickAlso amazing with kids on other tablesFood was lovely place was clean

Tyepyedong

December 4, 2021 When I went there that day, there were many people, it was very hot, and I was very happy?, and this udon was delicious??Kid-friendliness: The staff has a good attitude and is very happy to face the guests' opinions with a smile⋯⋯????

Eat On The Green

One of the best restaurant in Exeter with great environment and amazing food. Highly recommended for food. You will love the environment with nice view of Exeter Cathedral.

The Coffee Cellar

Absolutely beautiful cream tea, handmade warm scones, lovely jam. pretty vintage china... lovely..the best cream tea I've had . friendly relaxed cafe recommended ?????

Rainbow

Best Chinese food in Exeter.. so so busy the phones are continually engaged.. cold in the ordering area if you have to wait for food.. Best to order and book a pick up time

Artigiano Espresso & Wine Bar

I had the best experience with this place today. Ula was great, the coffee she made was so good and it had awesome latte art.Great experience, and will definitely recommend Artigiano to others!

Pizza Express

Always a really warm welcome and good attendance by the staff throughout!Pizza is consistently brilliant and the Duty manager provided the personal touch often missing!Thanks so much

Zizzi - Exeter

Was very good staff Very welcoming food was excellent only thing was I couldn't use my blue light card as was told can't use it on a Friday or Saturday bit wrong thoughKid-friendliness: Had things to do colouring book crayons

Hub Box Exeter

Coming in as a large booking, whilst another large booking joined at a similar time, I was very very pleased with the quality of food, service and overall treatment from the members of staff - sorting our orders by name to avoid any confusion, our food was also excellentWould highly recommend, the Hub Lemonade is lovely too...

Ganges Restaurant

Favourite restaurant in Exeter! Amazing food and service, came here with a huge group and the service was super quick and food was delicious!! Definitely recommend:)

Asia Chinese takeaway

We had good food ,great customer service and the food portions were super big. Overly worth it ,we even had free prawn crackers.We couldn't finish.We'll definitely go back. ?

wagamama exeter

I’ve dined in many Wagamamas and not any were as busy as this one, yet the food got served hot and quickly. I also want to point out that the service was very friendly. I have never tried their spicy margarita before but I was pleasantly surprised! I’d recommend it if you fancy an alcoholic drink.

Tabac

What a lovely place!!! Really friendly (and very knowledgeable) staff, excellent range of spirits including their own gin, vodka, and whisky! Four or five great beers on keg, really great atmosphere. I really loved it and will definitely be back!

Little Drop Of Poison

Cosy... wonderfully haphazard...bit rough round the edges...great atmosphere...good service...friendly clientele... excellent choice of beers...all round positive experience ??

Southernhay House Restaurant

We were staying at the hotel before one of the famous lockdowns but there was no sense of pervading gloom. The dining room has a lovely feel with the character of the designer shining through. The one meal we took in the evening was well presented and served and just hit the spot after a day visiting the town. Breakfast was excellent and summed up a great visit.

The Farm Table – Darts Farm

This was a great choice for lunch, be warned though you may have to wait for a table in the restaurant and you can’t reserve tables. Food was great and nice food size portions

Hole In The Wall

Well, I remember arriving, there was a crowd of us out on a works do, having a couple pints of the black stuff, listening to the band, couple more pints, couple of shots, but I don't remember leaving.......

The Old Firehouse

Quite liked it, even though I was probably the oldest person there! Good but not extensive beer selection. Good place to go if you like cider though (I'm a bit meh about it) as they had quite a few to choose from. Didn't have the food, so can't rate it.

The Angel Bar

It is a nice, eclectic venue that is full of soul with an exciting atmosphere. The drinks are good and the music is always good fun. I don't like toilets as they need to be renovated pretty badly. They smell and are really dirty however this is expected for a boozer.

Whittard of Chelsea Exeter

I’ve worked in retail myself so like to leave reviews when I can. I came in a week or two ago and the man who helped me (I think his name was Rick?) was super helpful and attentive. He listened when I rambled on about my brother who I was buying a gift for and provided excellent advice on the hot chocolates and which ones he recommended. I was then assisted by Quincy at the till who was just lovely. Very smiley and chatty and even offered me some samples for the other products available once I said I would be looking for a Mother’s Day gift in store in the future. All round a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely be coming back.

Morrisons

Popped in after work with an issue needing to be resolved regarding online order. The manager dealt with it efficiently and quickly. Much appreciated Morrisons Exeter ?

The Fat Pig

Was taken by family who live locally and go regularly - and I can see why it is their favourite. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming, and very tasty food. I had a beef Ragu with pappardelle pasta and I'm going to assume the pasta was freshly made as it was really light and delicious. we'll return next time we are in Exeter!

Drakes

Very nice, cramped food good value ok.would not recommend for disabled users as access to tables and shop restricted plus toilets a no no.They have no choices to improve as very old building and alley no better.In city centre no parking close byVegetarian options: I believe vegan was catered for but not a large menu.

Fireaway Exeter

Food amazing, service out of this world, pizza so good. Love it. Come hereVegetarian options: GreatDietary restrictions: GreatParking: GreatKid-friendliness: GreatWheelchair accessibility: Great

Bridge Inn

Fantastic pub. One of the best in the country. Great beer and food. Friendly staff and one of the most outstanding interiors you'll find. Google seems reluctant to fix the hours: it's open noon-230pm and 530pm(6pm Sun)-930pm everyday.Parking: Small irregular-shaped car park. No marked spaces.

iFood Thai Taste

This is one of my favourite Thai places to eat in the country ?. Lovely staff, tasty food and a great atmosphere ?... if you can get a table when you arrive, but its definitely worth trying 10 stars from me!

German Doner Kebab

Me and my wife enjoyed our time here. I got an og kebab boss box and it was tasty. The kind lady at the till recommended my wife a wrap and she enjoyed it. Food was exceptional and the service was speedy. Place was neat and clean ?.

Smart Fish Bar

Ordered here for the first time today and I can honestly say I had the best cod and chips I've had in a long time and at a good price. Fish was a good size for a regular (even sticking out of the container) and I will be back again in the future. Service at the counter couldn't be faulted 5* all

Oggy Oggy

Fantastic pasty I had, and a person who I was supporting enjoyed hers too . Would also like to say the staff were friendly too .Drawback..I felt like I upset a member of staff , as I asked kindly if she could take my empty plate just so I can have some table space, as the table was small , her response seemed a bit cold , almost stressed . If I had to move it myself I would of done , so I'm sorry if I made you look like an idiot if I did .

Jess & Jimmy's Coffee

I popped into this cafe recently with my dog and had a lovely experience. I had a sausage and egg bap that really hit the spot coupled with a hot chocolate. Honestly the hot chocolate was one of the nicest I have had in a while, not instant powder with hot water like others, or if it was, it didn't seem like it!Jimmy seems like a lovely bloke too, I didn't talk much (that was on me!) but the other customers that came in were obviously regular visitors which was lovely to see.

The Heavy Tree

Always going that extra distance to make you feel welcome,Great selection of home made cakes and the cheese scones are so yummy,Great range of meal options,Free WiFi, outdoor seating with sliding sun shade ,Wheelchair accessibility: There is a slope to climb but assistance will be given if needed,

Trailways

Didn't know about this little gem, £8 for a massive breakfast. Absolutely spot on. Sausages, hash browns and bacon, all cooked perfectly. Decent warm toast. What's not to like.

Lutzy's

Love this cafe and Lutzy is hard working and an amazing person.I started going here when I started kayaking on the canal which was about 5 years ago. Highly recommend popping in for a coffee or some food.GREAT JOB LUTZY.

Rogamo

Absolutely delicious. Authentic and fresh. Really recommend. We had the biangbiang oil splashed noodles, the biangbiang pork noodles, the beef noodles and a rogamo. All of them were amazing but the oil splashed noodles stole the show for

Sandwiched Inn Cafe And Snack Bar

Perfect little cafe , everything is fresh and the staff are fabulous ? , also the prices are extremely reasonable, not like most other places cashing in on their customers,Always leave with a happy tummy and a smile,..Thank you all ?

The Victoria Inn

Very nice pub - was able to accommodate Sunderland v West Brom despite a premier league fixture going on. Also some rugby.Bar staff all excellent and a nicely poured pint of GuinnessGuinness is £4.00Yeah that's not a typo £4.I recommend highly
