Saveur in East Devon

Fabulous as always! We absolutely love Saveur and have visited many times. The monkfish scampi is incredible!

We have been here for lunch before and it is always lovely. We chose thhe fixed price lunch menu, three courses for £27.50. We had Ham Hock and local Black Pudding Scrumpetwith Gribiche to start. Followed by Chargrilled lemon and rosemary cornfed Chicken with Camembert Potatoes, fine beans and Garlic and Tarragon Sauce. Desert I chose Citrus Posset, Rhubarb, Ginger and Honeycomb and my partner chose Warm Frangipani, Apple Compote, Buttermilk Icecream and Crispy Almonds. Exceptional meal again - thank you.

What a great little restaurant, which took a bit of finding because it is away from the tourist areas. The food was absolutely delicious and served with a smile. Excellent value for money !!!

Food and service was excellent will definitely go again

A fabulous restaurant with an amazing menu and great ambience. As a diagnosed Coelaic I felt very comfortable with the knowledge Saveurs had and enjoyed the tastiest soup with a warm glutenfree roll, Lemon sole and dessert. The staff were friendly and welcoming. A lovely evening to celebrate my birthday 🥳

Yet again another superb meal at Sauveur. I cannot fault this lovely restaurant and am just so very glad we have it here in Exmouth. Nigel is a brilliant, imaginative chef and Kerry is a fabulous front of house. Please just keep on doing what you do so well!

Just beautifully cooked and presented food. Mussels were perfect.

Great atmosphere and owners and exceptional food. One of the best meals my partner and I have had in a long time. If you get the chance to have the monkfish starter do not miss out on it, it was mindblowing. The lamb shoulder melted in your mouth, and the brownie for desert was beautiful. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Amazing! Kerry is so friendly and welcoming and absolutely faultless meals by Nigel. All staff are genuine and all add to the wonderful atmosphere. Return visit already booked!

Fantastic food - great service - Kerry & Nigel made us feel so welcome! We will definitely come back - it’s by far the best restaurant in Exmouth!

Amazing from start to finish. Definitely the best so far.

I love this restaurant. The chef is talented and his partner is a fantastic host. A lunch here is a real treat and is the set menu is superb value. Cheese board to die for!! I dine out a lot and have previously worked in kitchens for approx 20 years. I think this is one of the best places to eat in Devon.

Excellent food Excellent service, best restaurant in Exmouth actually only restaurant that consistently delivers time and time again. Staff are always pleasant and nothing is too much trouble.

I highly recommend Saveur, 5 stars for everything. Exmouths "hidden gem" well worth discovering!!

I passed this restaurant many times but when I looked at the menu it sounded too posh for me. Yesterday I finally decided to give it a try so I discovered another gem. The menu looked and sounded fancy but I got over it. The food was perfectly cooked and presented and, after starter, main and dessert I felt right (not hungry, not stuffed). No, is not cheap because is not McDonald's (not even that is cheap anymore) but it was totally worth it. *We went back for an evening meal and my God, we were amazed (again) by the careful way they were cooked and presented and, of course, by the flavours! We should be honoured for having such a 💎 in our lovely town 🙏❤️.

Excellent all round, the choice on the menu is not extensive but quite understandable in a small establishment, maybe best to visit in the evening when the range is wider, Highly recommended

Great food as always. We haven’t been for dinner for some time monkfish scampi Black bream and choc fondant with blackcurrant sorbet all hit the spot. Delicate refined cuisine with imaginative twists and no pointless frills. One of my foodie half french london friends said the creme brule was the best she had ever eaten. Thanks to the Team.

Delicious inventive seasonal starters: as a solo diner with a modest appetite, the starter offerings at Saveur were just superb. I chose the salt baked beetroot with walnut, trickle more cheese, pickled pear with a local honey and truffle dressing; and the honey roast ham hock and confit turkey terrine, accompanied by celeriac remoulade, truffle aioli, crispy ham and pickled shallots. Simply outstanding.

Family birthday lunch with great service superb food and well chosen wine list so thank you all.

Group visit to Savour for Lunch. Food was excellent. I had Salmon with a romesco sauce followed by Sticky Apple & Ginger pudding . Staff were very friendly,efficient & helpful. Very pleasant experience.

Delightful lunch in unpretentious friendly family run restaurant. Good flavours and sensible portions from a fixed price menu of £27 for 3 courses. Possibly the best value up market dining in East Devon.

This was our first visit to Saveur, hopefully it won't be our last. We will most certainly eat there again when we next visit Exmouth. As our star rating suggests, Saveur is a top notch restaurant to eat. The owner couldn't' have been more helpful in accommodating my wife in her wheelchair. The food is superb, fresh tasty seasonal produce. Thank you!!

Amazing evening meal, superb service and the food was all a "taste sensation" for us foodies that enjoy and appreciate flavour. This restaurant is the best in Exmouth town centre and in a fabulous central location. 
Each dish carefully and tastefully put together. It was a pleasurable experience from start to finish. Thank you very much to Head Chef Nigel for producing the goods with outstanding foods and the amazing Kerry and the front of house team for good wine, service and hospitality.

Nigel’s culinary expertise shines in every dish – a symphony of flavors that leaves your taste buds dancing with joy. Kerry’s warm hospitality adds a personal touch, creating an inviting atmosphere. Together, they’ve crafted a dining experience that transcends expectations. Saveur isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a showcase of passion and dedication. Kudos to Nigel and Kerry for creating a haven for food enthusiasts in Exmouth

The most amazing food ! Fabulous - will be coming back again very soon. Ten out of Ten !! - The staff are pretty special too !!!

Terrific food at lunch which was well served and fresh. Hake was locally caught and delicious. Wine complimented the meal and friendly professional service.

Always a very high standard of service and food.

This award winning restaurant is the best in Exmouth with wonderful food in lovely warm snd beautifully decorated surroundings. Have been here several times - always delighted with the menu and lovely presentation. The friendly and experienced staff provide excellent service.

My wife and I went here recently to celebrate her birthday. The waitress was fab and friendly and had a great sence of humour. Unfortunately that was where the fun ended. My wife ordered dover sole and I had the pork dish. Mine was extremely...

We have wanted to try this restaurant for a while and at last today we got the opportunity as we were without kids for the weekend. It fully lived up to its excellent reviews - the mushroom and Stilton soup was exquisite as was the...

Nice food, friendly staff but a bit over priced we thought

We have eaten dinner in this lovely little restaurant on two evenings recently. On both occasions the standard of hospitality, service and food was superb. They specialise in fish with a choice of sauces. The menu is not extensive but that ensures that everything is...

Our first visit. We will definitely be back. Excellent service, attentive but did not rush us. A lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere for dinner. We both had the catch of the day which was cooked to perfection. Shared a dessert as we were full! Wonderful...

Wish I could give more stars! we had the most incredible night on Saturday thanks to the amazing team at Saveur's. Kerry is the most wonderful host and truly made the night memorable. The food was absolutely amazing, one chef cooking a three course meal for twenty one people and everything was flawless and delicious. Everyone that came can't wait to come back, thank you to you all.

This is a great little restaurant in Exmouth. The food is top class and the service is excellent and you can see why it ranks No1 on trip adviser. The menu is limited but this is s strength not a weakness as chef cooks some...

This is a super little restaurant, great atmosphere and wonderful food. This is our 4th visit and it never disappoints. The chef was cooking solo tonight and despite prior warning that service may be slower than normal, it absolutely wasn’t! How he managed is beyond...

The best place we’ve been since moving to Devon. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. All of our party (5) tried different dishes and all raved about it. Lovely staff and ambiance. 👍

We had a fantastic meal and service here. I would highly recommend savour for the quality of the food and the personal service we received. A very small family run concern so would recommend booking before you go. We ordered soup which was home made...

A very tasty, first class meal, from the mackerel starter, pork tenderloin and deserts of cheese and fruits. Attentive, knowledgeable and friendly staff, The lunch menu, is reasonably priced, and worth every penny. What more could you want.

There is little more one can add to the many, well deserved, reviews that Saveur has gained except to say that without doubt their lunchtime fixed price menu is simply astounding value money. As such this little gem of a restaurant should be packed to...

Today a friend and I had a delicious 3 course lunch at Saveur…I had roasted tomato soup, lemon sole with romesco sauce and a passion fruit posset…all three courses were really good, great flavours!…& so were my friend’s choices …the White Rioja was also delicious...

This unpretentious restaurant delivers simple food to the highest of standards. When I say simple, I mean not over-complicated, not low quality. The roasted tomato soup was possibly the best tomato soup I've ever had. The hake main course was perfectly cooked, as were the...

We really enjoyed dinner at this restaurant. A very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere was complemented by excellent food. Quite a short menu, always a good sign in a small restaurant, nonetheless had a sufficient variety of choice. I had the monkfish goujons, served in a...

We went with friends and had a really lovely lunchtime dining experience. The food was honest, delicious and beautifully presented. Great value for money. We will be back. Thank you.

Great food once again. The best place to eat in Exmouth. We’ve been going to Savour for a number of years and thoroughly enjoy the hospitality, food and wine. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely quaint restaurant, food was amazing and fresh. Great service. There’s no baby changing facilities or high chairs but there was room for a pushchair, the staff were accommodating. Would highly recommend!

We had a family dinner at Saveur when in Devon following a family bereavement. Over a 4 week period we ate out at most of the pubs and restaurants in Sidmouth and had largely disappointing experiences so decided to go further afield to Exmouth. Saveur...

Lovely restaurant in a very quiet pedestrian street. Husband and wife team. Kerry front of house and Nigel in kitchen. Food absolutely superb, beautifully cooked and presented. Kerry very friendly and professional. Prices very reasonable for this quality of food and service. We have been...

We visited this restaurant lunchtime following a recommendation from a local resident. The restaurant is tucked away along a side street and this reflects the intimate atmosphere inside. The restaurant consists of two dining areas, modestly decorated with various sea themed pictures (reflecting its seafood...

Fantastic food! Portions are exactly the right size to enjoy four courses - we were well and truly stuffed after sharing a cheeseboard. The starters and mains were flavoursome and had unusual ingredient combinations that went together really well. The Panna Cotta is the best...

Been coming to Exmouth for many years now and for some reason this restaurant hadn’t popped up on the radar. Well we’d been missing out. I had to change the reservation a couple of times and Kerry was very obliging over email and on the...

Simply a lovely fine dining restaurant serving beautifully cooked local produce backed up with great service. The dining room has a nice feel in a relaxed environment even though on our visits, the restaurant has been full, so it's worth booking ahead. In our opinion,...

We've eaten here in the evenings and enjoyed our meals but it's the lunch that's excellent value for money. The food is pretty much the same as for dinner but in smaller portions and much less choice of course. Having had a superb meal 3-4...

First visit and was well impressed. We came for lunch and enjoyed imaginitive food, nicely cooked and well presented. The restaurant was busy, even though it was midweek. Fortunately we had booked. Several walk-ins were turned away, so recommend booking ahead.

This restaurant is hidden down a small side street just a short walk away from the town centre. If you haven't visited it yet then now is the time. A warm welcome from Kerry (front of house) and Nigel (the chef) the food and service...

We've been to Saveur on numerous occasions over the past few years and every time has been wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. The thing that I really like about the dishes is that they aren't over-fussy like some...

Quite the best restaurant in Exmouth! Warm welcome, friendly considerate service, delicious starters, mains, deserts and cheeseboard, using the very best local ingredients where possible. Imaginative starters, the local venison was exceptional and the cheeseboard a varied and complementary selection. All beautifully presented. Came away...

Fantastic food at a very reasonable price. The food was presented beautifully and tasted impeccable. Staff were friendly and the service was brilliant. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Exmouth.

A great experience with delicious food and friendly service. The monkfish starter is definitely Chef Nigel's signature dish. My wife chose the venison which was cooked to perfection. I chose the Gnocchi which was very tasty and well presented. To finish, the parfait and chocolate...

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on 15th Feb in this little restaurant tucked away in Exmouth. We had tried to book for Valentine’s Day but were too late! The owner Kerry had replied to our email that more forward planning was needed. We could have...

This unassumingly small restaurant, tucked away down a narrow street near the centre of Exmouth, is an absolute gem--its simple exterior belies the sheer excellence and visual delight of the food. Flavour (saveur) is chefs’ obvious passion and combined with faultless service produced for us...

Our friend chose this after recommendation of a relative. Bit of a celebration as we had not seen each other in a long time so having a good venue was important. We were not disappointed! The food is excellent, as was the service.

Having heard so much about Saveur we went with friends who had spoken so highly about the place. We were not disappointed. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere relaxed, the wine first class and the food exceptional. My fillet steak was as good as I...

Both my partner and I thought it was the most delicious meal we’ve had in years a great menu with a lot of local produce the service match the food we’re definitely going again.

Took my husband to Saveur for his 40th birthday. The food (scallops, brill (fish of the day) and cheese board), wine and service were all excellent. Absolutely no complaints and look forward to the next time.

We had lovely anniversary celebration dinner here. Staff was amazing and food was great! Can’t wait to come back here for Christmas!

Absolutely fantastic. Service to food to drink was an absolute 10/10. Booked the private dining whilst we were there for our next visit already! Nigel is a 🧙‍♂️in the kitchen! See you VERY VERY soon!!!

Lived in Exmouth for 20 years and the best meal I've had eating out. Service just right, scallops starter and belly pork exceptional (for me) . Would highly recommend a visit. Will be re visiting very soon.

What is not to love at this truly amazing find. My title says it all. For flavour bursting food this is the best there is in the town. Love visiting this restaurant.

I recently visited Saveur for a special family meal. The food was absolutely delicious and the best I have eaten locally. The service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Had dinner here last week and it was exceptional, from the presentation to the quality of food. Would fully recommend to anyone.

We managed to get the last table on Saturday 30th. Superb food with excellent service. Faultless! We chose the catch of the day - (sea bass) and the brill dish. Some of the best fish dishes I have tasted. Both starters , the cauliflower soup...

My wife and I visited Savour for an evening meal, the service was good, the food was disappointing. They had changed the menus from that advertised and was looking forward to a mackerel starter, sorry sir the menu changed today, but it is on our...

4 of us have just had a wonderful meal at Saveurs. Incredible food and fantastic service in a lovely comfortable setting. A little gem in Exmouth. Perfect portion size

Saveur is singularly the best restaurant in Exmouth. You can go there for any occasion, or no occasion at all, and still be treated like you are the only special diners in the restaurant. Between Nigel, the legendary amazing chef, and Kerry, the most welcoming,...

A gem in exmouth that should not be missed. Exceptional food and wonderful service will certainly visit again.

Our faith in restaurant selection was well rewarded at this intimate setting. Although menu options may feel limited to those looking in, the breadth in the dishes on offer is fantastic. The chicken terrine was superb as was the cauliflower starter. My wife loved her...

Food was lush... Not a fan of cold soup but still tasted amazing All 3 courses for 2 people were top notch would higly recommend

Had another amazing meal at this gorgeous, intimate little restaurant, tucked away in Exmouth. Great service and excellent food. Would highly recommend!

We came to the restaurant for my birthday and on first entry I was a little disappointed to be sat right by the door and for there to be no kind of children’s menu but that’s where the disappointment ended. The restaurant where incredibly adaptable...
