Herbies in Exeter

Three course Christmas dinner. The food was all vegan, was really flavoursome and served piping hot. A brilliant evening. Highly recommend. My husband is not a vegan but thought the food excellent.

PLeased to find a proper vegetarian restaurant in Exeter. We had a tasty lunch, special of the day. Good drinks choice too.

The staff are lovely and there’s always a warm welcome. The food is great and service spot on. It’s somewhere we really look forward to visiting.

Fantastic at catering for gluten and dairy free diets, also for vegetarians. Lovely smiley and accomodating staff who go above and beyond, thank you so much!!!

Family-run vegetarian restaurant since 1990, Herbies provides good British hearty food, good well and well presented. Perfect for a casual dining. Great service welcoming with a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

We visited with family, 9 in total. Staff were super accommodating, friendly, chilled with a relaxed but efficient service. The food is AMAZING! The menu is thoughtful and full of choice, portion size is very good and excellent value for money. A very easy 5 stars!

Super varied menu, every so tasty mains, friendly team and good atmosphere. Good value too. Overall would cert go back & recommend (and I would usually order a meat dish).

Absolutely stunning food excellent service. Heaven in Devon dessert was to die for. Will be back for more of the same.

Perfect - absolutely amazing food, lovely staff, beautiful little restaurant. Couldn't recommend this more highly.

A very impressive restaurant with wide appeal beyond a vegan clientele. The Mediterranean platter hit the spot, not overly filling yet flavorful, the service was great and included information on the fine music the restaurant was playing. The Heaven in Devon dessert lived up to its name, a blend of brownies, ice cream and clotted cream with fresh fruit topping. Everything was reasonably priced too, and the atmosphere restful and friendly. Warmly recommended.

Easily my favourite restaurant in Exeter. They show veggie/vegan food at its best - no fake meats and substitutes, just real vegetarian food that’s home-cooked and absolutely delicious. Some menu favourites are definitely the lasagna and roasted veg & hummus focaccia, but be sure to look at their specials board! Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and wonderful food - can’t ask for more.

Exceptionally welcoming and really friendly, fun staff. Great food too. Pleased to have found it and look forward to going back.

We were blown away by this lovely vegetarian /vegan restaurant. Beautiful home cooked food, great menu and just lovely friendly people. If we lived in Exeter we would be here regularly, but unfortunately we don’t. Oh, and the desserts are outstanding too. I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere with so many vegan choices on the menu! Thanks so much everyone at Herbies!!

Haven't been there in years Went back today, under new management Brilliant updated menu, plenty of vegan options & couldn't fault the staff & service. Definitely back on our " must visit again " list........highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. Easy parking in the multi story opposite too......

Excellent vegetarian lunch today. Always a reliable choice. Always freshly prepared produce. Varied vegetarian menus and daily specials board.

Thanks for scrummy vegan lasagne today. Always feel so very welcome here, such good food. My colleagues loved it too. Thank you.

Was looking forward to a good coffee and vegetarian food at lunch time with friendly service assumed. The greeting was cool at best, the coffee probably the worst I've ever had...only one cup can be made at a time I was told. On asking for a little more time to consider the menu, the reaction was overtly impatient so we decided to pay up and go. On walking to the door a loud noise ensued as one of the chairs was slammed against the floor behind us in protest at our departure - appalling behaviour!

I’ve been to Herbies twice now and each time the food has been delicious. So fresh and bursting with flavour. The service is good but the food speaks for itself! It’s in a quiet part of town just off the high street so super easy to get to as well

Organised a small birthday meal here for 4 and the whole experience was amazing! The staff were so helpful with the cake we brought with us and the food was exceptional - we even had a couple of meat eaters in the group who were...

... but this is my favourite restaurant in Exeter. The soup was the highlight of my meal this evening. I'll be popping in again tomorrow for lunch.

This vegetarian cafe has been ahead of its time with catering for vegans and gluten free. Always friendly and helpful. The food is always plentiful and delicious. Many a happy family meal they have provided for us, well worth the 80 mile round trip! A...

We had the Christmas menu last night. The spinach, beetroot and walnut loaf was delicious. Really impressed with selection of beautifully cooked vegetables. Then, the puddings! Amazing. Highly recommend this place. It makes a change to eat out and feel happy with what you've paid...

Just wanted to leave a review about the wonderful service and food we received tonight. First off the team was all wonderful and the atmosphere was lovely tonight…..Vicky who served us was an absolute pleasure and really friendly and just genuinely a lovely person to...

I am a vegetarian with a lot of allergies, and this was the only vegetarian restaurant open in town. I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me and wanted to grab a bite before I leave so I got very excited when I found...

Really enjoyed dinner from the Xmas menu last night. The usual excellent food and great service from Tony and the team. Season's greetings to you all.

Lovely food. Lovely friendly, thoughtful staff. Cosy, warm and relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money!

We had left a nearby restaurant as the table we were at was not designed for a conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. We chanced whether there was a table at herbies and lucked out as there was one table left. We were treated well and...

Great food and nice atmosphere, healthy portions, very tasty, right amount of spice in the chilli and curry. Dhal starter was a hit

Great food, great service. Chosen on the strength of its menu which I found online. The special was excellent, the wines were delicious, and we were able to buy two paintings.

A really well thought out menu with some wonderfully well cooked dishes, that impressed the omnivores present. Very friendly staff, and some really tasty food. Very popular- the server was clearly overworked!

What a great find! A huge range of vegan and vegetarian food which was both different and delicious. The staff were attentive and polite and the surroundings comfortable and friendly. We will definitely be back. Many thanks

First the positives, the food was delicious, portions very generous. The nut and carrot loaf was wonderful, and delicious home made salads. Really nice ambience but we found the service really lacking which spoiled our exoerience. Reading the other reviews maybe we got them on...

Delicious food. Friendly service. Vegan options. Daily menu. Different tastes and fresh food. Great music playlist. We will definitely come back!

Herbies ist ein sehr gutes vegetarisches Restaurant in Exeter mit super nettem, umsichtigen Personal, einer tollen Playlist und sehr gutem...

Had a fantastic veggie meal for two, shared starter of Mediterranean platter was very tasty and well presented - and generous portion. Mains of veggie lasagne and nut burger were fantastic too. The place was busy but the two staff coped brilliantly. Overall a great...

We had a lovely meal here. The choice is very varied and everything is either vegan or can be made vegan. The food was lovely and the restaurant was busy. The portion size was very big, maybe a bit too big for us! It was...

Decided to visit here as one of us had amazing memories of the place from her time a politely undefined number of years ago when she was at University, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We had the dipping platter to start which was a...

Great menu, really tasty Food lots of choice Good friendly service. Never been disappointed - a treat for vegetarian feast. Really enjoyed the drinks selection too. Thanks!

Myself and my Husband had a really tasty lunch of warm vegetable salad and nachos which was just delicious, portion sizes are very generous and pleasantly presented. When in Exeter give it a go, I know we will certainly be visiting again on our next...

Wonderful evening! We had really tasty vegan and vegetarian food, which suited us both. So friendly and accommodating to us and our fussy 10 year old boy! The garlic bread is huge and delicious! Everything is home made and large portions! That’s my only complaint...

Superb choice of food and the flavours are excellent. Worth visiting and definitely will revisit again.

We went here for dinner and were warmly welcomed. The decor focuses on very dark green walls and a black ceiling which creates a dingy atmosphere and the places looks very read for a refurb. You can see into the kitchen which also looks run...

The vegan platter was fantastic, not a vegan or veggie but the selection of food on offer and the quality was brilliant. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning if I come back to Exeter.

Serves home made Vegan food, excellant food and service, but need to book as very busy and shuts at 2.30pm

This was the first time I've visited Herbies and I can’t wait to go back. The food was absolutely delicious - so nice to look at a menu and know I can eat everything on it and that there is no meat in the building....

Haven't been to Herbies for years. Last time I went it was quite earnest veggie food, but boy has it improved. We had hummus and garlic bread to start. Really tasty. Then I had mushroom with pickled vegetables and sticky rice. It was delicious. The...

All I could tase was bitter tahini in a falafel wrap. Bland cous cous and salad on side. Disgusting. Had to ask for chií jam and vegan mayo to spread on it in order to be able to eat it. Should have sent it back...

Astounding lunch visit today. Everything was fresh, colourful and utterly delicious. Lovely environment and helpful staff. Will definitely return

Visited especially from out of area for an anniversary evening meal out. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service and staff were friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. We reserved ahead and were pleased that we did as the place was packed. No problems...

Amazing option for a light-bite or a full hearty meal. Everything is freshly made and served nice and fresh like in the comfort of your house. Very friendly staff and superb service. You wouldn't miss meat at all! Definitely go there again

One of the worst meals ever. Service is slow, the kitchen is disorganised. The food took a stupidly long time, if I’d been there without family I would have walked out. When the mains finally arrived they were lukewarm and had to go back. The...

This lovely little vegetarian restaurant seems to be run, very efficiently, by two young ladies - one front of house and one in the kitchen. Despite this the service was faultless, the food delicious and the atmosphere completely relaxed. Multi-tasking at expert level. I always...

We visited early on a Wednesday evening while on and trip to Exeter and were super impressed with the food and the service. I choose Herbies as I am a vegetarian and gluten free and there were loads of choices. I would say about two...

We ate here on Saturday evening and enjoyed the food and service very much. We had a mixed platter of dips followed by a nut roast with delicious mushroom sauce and a veggie curry. All were well cooked and delicious

Definitely not a specialist veggie/ vegan place… The food is really quite bad and the service was awful - but guess that could’ve been unlucky. It’s a bit like one of those places you end up going to with your fam and eat the mushroom...

The food was amazing! Big portions and the service was exceptional!! Would definitely recommend to open minded people who want something different.

Excellent food, brilliant staff, an really good choice of dishes and we were even given the recipe for the curry spice mix! A perfect meal. Could not have been better.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner on Monday and loved it. Great food and even greater that there are so many vegan options, best cheesy garlic bread we’ve ever tried and it’s not very often you find a vegan sundae so we loved that....

Went to Herbies for dinner tonight and we were genuinely blow away by the hospitality, food at atmosphere. Everything was spot on from the moment we tried to book a last minute table (thank you for squeezing us in) all the way through till the...

We've just got back from this lovely vegetarian restaurant. We wouldn't normally pick something specific like 'vegetarian' but really glad we did. It was an amazing night. It's a good job we did book as the place got busy - it's only small (which is...

My girlfriend and I went for lunch and had a great time. Lots of tastey options. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

My wife (a vegan) and I came here for lunch. I had a vegetarian curry and then sticky toffee pudding. Both were really tasty served in an unpretentious way in a relaxed setting. We have been here before. I've no doubt we'll come back.

Fantastic choice for vegans with loads of options. The Buddha bowl portion size is excellent and very tasty. One of the best main courses I’ve had out in a while! The dessert options are also great and mostly vegan. Staff were very nice and welcoming

The restaurant is really pretty inside and has a really warm atmosphere. I’m confused by some other reviews as our food was absolutely amazing, we actually said that we thought they could charge more and we would be happy to pay - while a lot...

No issue with ~atmosphere~ or service however food is plain and overpriced. I refuse to believe there is a chef in the kitchen. I think they try to justify price by the portion size, but when it doesn't taste that great a massive portion is...

Great veggie and vegan menu. Nicely presented and good value. Today it was too cold even inside for five stars but it's usually a really good choice

Fantastic food and fantastic value as always. We had chilli, carrot and cashew loaf, jackfruit burger, salad and wedges. Lovely meal.

Best Beet & Bean burger I’ve had , wedges good too, great service , ready on time , can’t fault them 🌻

I have been to Herbies several times over the years. It is a cosy environment, the staff are always friendly and it's great to have several really tasty vegetarian or vegan options to choose from.

I love this cafe! They do great and healthy food, for both vegetarians and vegans. Even some non-vegans could enjoy their food, too. Please never be put off of eating vegan food, even if you’re not vegan. Please open up and consider going vegan, for...

Delicious meals and a huge range of vegan options, most of which are also gluten free (or have that option!). Would highly recommend. Big portions and very reasonably priced.

I came here for the first time on a Tuesday lunchtime with a friend. I did book, just to be on the safe side. It's not a very big place and by the sounds of it, there are even less tables at the moment due...

waitress, the lady with dark hair and glasses made me feel unwelcomed right from the start and she barely smiled the whole time that I was there. Food was average but in a good portion size. Coffee was not hot

Myself and a colleague stopped here for lunch after a long day of filming up and down the country. We travel a lot in our line of work and as one veggie and one vegan, we spend a lot of time scoping out the best...

Really attentive service, nothing too much trouble. Food so tasty, all three of us really enjoyed our meals. One gluten free guest had plenty of choice and raves about the bread especially. Highly recommend.

We booked a table at Herbies during the "Eat out to help out" scheme. Staff were attentive and friendly. Meals were a good size and great flavour. A perfect lunch spot.

Visited twice this week. Friendly staff, clean facilities, a warm welcome.Decor enhanced with original art work. Really enjoyed the food, will definitely return. Compliments to the kitchen staff.

Went for a meal here as my daughter is vegetarian and all o can say is Wow!- just wow! The food was out of this world even for a meat eater like me. Lush desserts - very decadent. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. I can...

Delicious vegetarian meal. Great little place. Nice atmosphere. Good choice and good specials for regular visitors not to get bored. We had the jack fruit burger and the tagine. Both delicious. The puddings were huge. The tempranillo delicious and the service prompt and friendly.

¡Cuánto me he perdido de Herbie's durante el período de encierro principal! Cuando tuvieron que cerrar, intentaron continuar solo como servicio de comida para llevar, pero después de no más de una semana se sintieron obligados a cerrar también. Al menos "me desconecté" con una comida para llevar de sus suntuosos Nachos Supreme, que me hicieron una deliciosa comida enorme más una comida más modesta al día siguiente (en realidad, es mejor considerarla como una comida abundante para dos).Avance rápido hasta el sábado 25 de julio, cuando tuve mi primera comida de Herbie desde marzo. Al principio todo se sintió un poco triste, porque el tamaño y la forma del local obligaron a reducir drásticamente el número de mesas para conseguir un distanciamiento razonable. Sin embargo, también veo esto como una ventaja. Es cierto que, por el momento, no tendremos el bullicio frenético y tranquilizador que solíamos tener en las horas pico, PERO el nivel de ruido a menudo se vuelve excesivo en esos momentos, lo que no es bueno para la audición a largo plazo, y agrega un significativo nivel de estrés para los clientes y en particular para el personal, que tienen que trabajar (¡y seguir sonriendo!) a través de todo eso.Por lo tanto, los números más pequeños y un límite significativo en el tamaño de las reservas de fiestas deberían significar una experiencia más tranquila y relajante para todos los involucrados.Debido al número reducido de portadas, claramente no tenía sentido ofrecer toda la gama de menú grande anterior, pero al menos el menú actual es un trabajo brillante para conservar lo que pudieron de los favoritos básicos. Además, el tamaño más pequeño del menú siempre se mitiga con un plato principal especial rotatorio y la ensalada mixta y la sopa se cambian con frecuencia.Comencé esta vez con su sopa de verduras mediterránea seguida de su tagine marroquí, aunque elegí tener arroz integral en lugar del cuscús presumiblemente más auténtico que se indica en el menú. Fue tan excelente y generosa como siempre.Un pequeño punto aquí es que el nuevo menú era confuso en un aspecto. Si bien antes TODOS sus platos principales tenían la opción de ensalada mixta o rodajas de papas incluidas en el precio, ahora algunos de ellos no lo hacen, y hubiera sido útil si el menú hubiera indicado explícitamente la nueva situación. Por lo tanto, si usted es un habitual de Herbie y espera uno de esos 'lados' con su plato principal, deberá verificar si necesita agregarlo a su pedido.Es el mismo equipo maravilloso allí, naturalmente los propietarios Tony y Sue y, a menudo, su hija Emily, pero, por supuesto, como hay un número menor de mesas, el personal no familiar hasta ahora ha sido menos; Fue genial volver a encontrarme con Gemma y Eliseo (uno de los dos Elishas que estaban trabajando allí antes).Al igual que con mi otro restaurante favorito (mucho más reciente) (Pho), el equipo aquí ha sido buenos amigos conmigo a lo largo de los años. De hecho, en marzo, justo después del cierre temporal de Herbies, me encontré con Tony y Sue en una de mis caminatas de ejercicio, e inmediatamente Tony se ofreció a hacer las compras por mí, consciente de la absurda estipulación de que todas las personas mayores de 70 años deben 'protegerse' y no hacer compras ellos mismos. De hecho, aproveché esa oferta durante unas semanas antes de rebelarme, jubilé a Tony con mi agradecimiento más profundo y volví a hacer mis propias compras. Acabo de llegar a 79, pero todavía soy una persona * sana y activa * y, por lo tanto, no corro un riesgo indebido de COVID - 19 si mis medidas de distanciamiento bastante escrupulosas aún dejan pasar 'el error'. Por tanto, el Gobierno no tiene negocios para ordenarme que viva como si fuera débil y "vulnerable".Como me sentía bastante mal ayer (sábado), lo pensé mejor en salir a comer y comí otra comida para llevar de Herbie's, ordenando por teléfono y recogiendo / pagando en la puerta, usando mi mascarilla por si acaso.Me llamó especialmente la atención la seguridad de su particular juego de contenedores para llevar. Usan un recipiente robusto de cartón encerado para la sopa, y no gotea en absoluto. Los otros artículos también se empacaron para que no tuviera fugas, y los materiales del contenedor eran cartulina encerada y / o aluminio delgado. - - ¡Afortunadamente sin plástico! Algunas otras fuentes de comida para llevar que utilicé durante el cierre tenían problemas con las fugas de los contenedores, ¡así que realmente lo aprecio cuando se toma el mejor cuidado para evitar ese tipo de cosas!

Comimos aquí a la hora del almuerzo. Es bueno reservar, ya que parecen estar cada vez más ocupados. Grandes porciones de excelente comida vegetariana que incluso los carnívoros probablemente no mirarían. Buena variedad de opciones veganas y una gran variedad de opciones sin gluten, lo que agradó a uno de nosotros. Personal amable y perfectamente seguro.

Went her with my wife for lunch and it was lovely! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food. Good selection for vegans. What more do you want?

Lovely atmosphere and service, with really comforting, filling and delicious vegetarian and vegan food.

Our first visit to Herbies and came on the recommendation of friends. We weren't at all disappointed. The food was tasty, wholesome (not in a boring way!) and beautifully presented. We didn't have children with us but they obviously cater well for families. Good value vegetarian and vegan food. We'll certainly go back soon.

Quality food and quality service. :) The lady was really nice and gave us the recipe of food we really liked.

What delicious food. What great service. What lovely staff. Exeterians (?), know you are blessed: please cherish this restaurant. Thank you, Herbies.

Ristorante vegan friendly con diverse proposte per tutti i gusti.Cibo fresco e ben presentatoAtmosfera informale e staff molto gentilePrezzi molto pop

Been going to Herbies for years and it’s always a winner. Not commercialised, sticks to its principles, good, honest, tasty creative food. Even if you are not vegetarian, this is some of the best food in Exeter and the puds are to die for!

Herbie's has a cult following here in Exeter and it's down to their great food, warm atmosphere with great service.The food has always been consistent, regular daily specials and has a cosy ambience.I ordered the Buddha bowl & coffee, came with a great slice of banana cake. The Buddha bowl was tasty, full of avocado, cous cous, spinach, peppers with a homemade pesto. Full of crunch, each bit delicious. Mid range costs, but don't let that put you off and you'll keep going back as the attentive, friendly staff will make you feel at home.A must go to place if you're a vegetarian and passing through.

Absolutely lovely staff and atmosphere. Food was delicious, so so many vegan options which was a real treat! Reasonably priced. A customer stole our umbrella but that can’t be helped. Highly recommended!

ベジタリアンバーガーとジンジャービアを注文。ベジタリアンバーガーはボリュームもしっかりした味もあり大満足。ジンジャービアも他では見たことのない地元デヴォン州のもの。ジンジャーがさわやかに辛く効いてて揚げ物のポテトなどに合う。メニューも多いので、ベジタリアン料理に興味があるかたもない方も満足いくと思う！ランチの日替わりメニューも気になる。。。

Every time we visited this restaurant, we had a great customer service. The food is homemade and healthy. It tastes just like made at home with love and care. It makes you feel good after eating it. It gives you energy and makes you warm. I love their hot vegan chocolate and tagine meal with couscous and roasted veggies, and pretty and delicious cakes!

As the title says, our new favorite! Tucked away down a side street is this very ordinary looking restaurant / cafe. Once you find a table, you can pour over the extensive and temptation filled menu. We are both vegan and there was so much to chose from.

Here i had the best Barley Cup EVER! Trying hard to stay off the caffiene so was great to be able to get this alternative in a place in town - made latte-style it was the creamiest, best Barley Cup I've ever had! And great ambience and surroundings - have eaten before in there and the food was very good - highly recommend - i gather it has been there a long time so we need to support this restaurant!

Have visited this lovely little place many times and each time the service and food has been great. Very accommodating for food preferences, allergies and diets.

Lovely food, really quick service and friendly staff. will come back and would recommend. Mushroom risotto was nice

Even for a meat eater this place was special. My vegetarian partner would have had us eating here every night. The food was excellent and the service great. Nothing more to add really!

This was my first visit to Herbies. Staff were very warm and friendly. The carrot, cashew nut & spinach loaf with wild mushroom sauce, potatoe wedges and side salad was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely amazing! Every bite of this awesome dish was divine, the mushroom sauce complimented the nut loaf beautifully. Even the salad dressing was gorgeous. Loved this place and will definitely be returning. Thanks to all at ‘Herbies’ for a truly fab lunch xxx

Our friends had been there many times, and booked us all in. We had some excellent food, organic drinks, and in a friendly atmosphere.
