Rodean Restaurant in Teignbridge

Beautiful food and great for gluten free.

Beautiful meal in an idyllic spot. Service was excellent and not too intrusive (like in some higher end restaurants). I need to be gluten free and this wasn’t a problem at all, many of the dishes could be made gluten free and the staff were really knowledgeable. Great selection of drinks. We were there for Sunday lunch and will definitely be going back!

Lovely food and very nice attentive staff. Would definitely come back.

We had a really memorable meal at the Rodean. We opted for the tasting menu which was excellent. My personal favourite course was the wood pigeon on the homemade crumpet! The service was fantastic. They took the time to explain every course and were attentive without being overbearing. The tasting menu is £65 per head which we felt was good value for money given the high quality ingredients and some more unusual flavour pairings. Overall would highly recommend and we are hoping to return at some point!

Totally fabulous food - highly highly recommend for a very very good meal.

Absolutely fantastic food. I had 4 courses and every single one was beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Very attentive staff and barely any wait between courses. Atmosphere is lovely and the whole experience was honestly a 5/5 all around. Already planning on returning as soon as possible! Brilliant.

A superb family run restaurant. So welcoming and friendly. The food is second to none and beautifully presented.

Incredible experience, we went on the re-opening night the restaurant is fresh, with a chilled out vibe. The food was incredible we had the tasting menu and great service, could not have been more helpful and engaging. Will definitely go again on our next holiday to Dawlish.

Food excellent. Newly re-opened and some staff were obviously new, but good head of house. Renovation decor did not seem up to the standards of the great food, so low mark for atmosphere.

Outstanding Sunday lunch from the whole Rodean team, great hospitality and superb food in a lovely setting , look forward to coming back soon.. they told us that they have been in business there for over 20 years and that says it all, how many restaurants can claim that in the locality

As a Michellin starred restaurant, the food is fantastic, and all the staff were brilliant. What really made it for me, though, was the selected music playlist!! Perfect!!

The Rodean is a wonderful, family run restaurant offering a delightful atmosphere to enjoy fabulous food. We have thoroughly enjoyed dining at The Rodean on a number of occasions and each dish on the menu consistently proves to be an exquisite masterpiece of flavours and presentation. The front of house team are so lovely and always happy to accommodate any requests. From the ambrosial amuse-bouche to the divine mains and celestial desserts, I can honestly say it is the best food I have enjoyed in the Exeter area !! What a delightful restaurant, we hope you continue to deliver such a wonderful experience for guests in many years to come.

Had such a lovely meal. Opted for the tasting menu and wine flight. Definitely worth every penny. Not just for the food, but for the service

Wonderful food, classy, tasty, beautifully presented. We aimed for a quick lunch and ended up having a 3 course meal for lunch! I can not speak highly enough about the quality of ingredients and cuisine. Having returned from South of France a week ago and been spoilt with delightful cuisine for couple of weeks , today’s Rodean visit and food was above 2*Michelin restaurant we tried in Nice. A wonderful find in Kenton and well worth several visits and working our way through the menu in the future. Thank you for making special arrangements for lunch for our tricky to feed autistic daughter who loved the chips, chicken goujons ( made specially for her) and green beans. Deserts were amazing and she even tried something new. Thank you very much , wonderful food, atmosphere and service

Excellent food quality, room is a little dated. Would have expected cloth napkins at these prices not paper.

The meal was absolutely wonderful, best scallops I have ever tasted, had the beef fillet which was superb, Fabulous atmosphere and great staff, cannot wait to go back.

Excellent food and brilliant staff. We found this place by chance and very glad we did! We had a lovely Sunday lunch and the staff couldn't have been nicer!

What a fabulous place to go for a meal. We have passed it on a number of occasions and finally went today. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with a pleasant layout, attentive lovely staff. We chose the taster menu with the wine flight. I was expecting nice, even delicious but I can honestly say it was outstanding, beautiful presented seven course dinner with coffee and delightful chocolate brownie and chocolate and pear cups. The wine flight matched the food perfectly. Would I recommend this, absolutely, would I go back, hell yes. Don’t miss out on this little gem, highly recommended

Wow! Food was amazing. Such an array of flavors very artfully and delicately combined. This is most definitely a place we will visit again. First class!

After receiving a recommendation we satisfied our curiosity about what appeared an attractive restaurant in a lovely village and were not disappointed. The food was both imaginative and well executed, presentation and service also excellent. Travelling on the 2 bus made it an easy trip from Teignmouth. We will go again!

A delightful experience as always. Looking forward to trying the Tasting Menu soon too. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant offering the absolute best in cuisine! Easy parking nearby.

Excellent food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Excellent meal once again. Food, service and staff first class. The restaurant is cosy and has tasteful decoration. There is a small village car park opposite the restaurant.

Lunch on the Triangle with the Rodean. Food excellent as were drinks and service. Highly recommended.

From the moment you walk in, the decor & the atmosphere are relaxing and the staff professional & attentive. Personal touches, home made bread, own butter, tasters in between courses and a Birthday message in Chocolate on the desert are typical of the attention that was bestowed on our party of 6. The test of a review; Would I/we go back ? Most certainly. Everything was top notch.

Always fabulous service and excellent food from this family run restaurant. Did not disappoint on any level, if anything it gets better each time. My 'cheese three ways' starter was equal to any Michelin star offering we have had. Desserts were a triumph and the sticky toffee pudding is unrivalled! Thank you so much.

Superb. Really superb. This is one of the best restaurants in the region. Light, tasty, every mouth full a delight.

Saturday night family meal at The Rodean .. simply fantastic in all areas .. service is perfect, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food is another level ...as good as any Michelin restaurant we have been in the past ... It's a independent family run business and the attention to detail is bang on the money, we had Hake, Duck leg & Monkfish for mains there starters and desserts are beautiful...I could go on all day .... Truly a fantastic dinning experience..thanks Rodean you will see us again 100%

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We will be back.

A wonderful and cosy restaurant near Exeter and Teignmouth. The menu was inventive and very appealing. My partner is vegetarian and the server was very helpful and the chef was able to suggest and provide alternatives/variations to courses listed. We started with a delicious amuse bouche and lovely bread. I had pigeon breast with lentil dhal followed by sea bream. They were both very well cooked and absolutely delicious. My partner settled for falafal followed by pearl barley risotto with hen of the woods. He was very happy too. We were too full for pudding so settled for coffee which came with chocolate and pear cups and little caramel tarts. The bill was extremely reasonable and I would have expected to pay more for such high quality. I would definitely recommend this for a lovely evening out.

We had another superb meal at Roedean again. Fine dining, food is just divine, great service by the young staff, and just a great dining experience.

We've been meaning to visit for a while and we weren't disappointed. Every course was excellent, and the service and ambience were great.

Excellent food - quality and quantity - accompanied by excellent service. Would highly Recommend

Nestled in a small village this restaurant is a real gem. Went for the tasting menu which was fantastic value and all courses were presented well and tats d amazing. The interior of the restaurant is relaxed and the service excellent. Would highly recommend.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. I usually go for dinner but tried a Sunday roast last time. Everything was cooked to perfection, although the dinner menu is where they really shine. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is very unpretentious. Friendly greeting on arrival, and a very pleasant atmosphere in an informal setting. We went for Sunday lunch and enjoyed top notch food.including a delicious "amuse bouche". Very reasonably priced considering the quality. We will be back!

Had a great family lunch. We especially loved the sea bass with bouillabaisse sauce. Very friendly personal service.

What a lovely evening! We live 5 miles away and so we took the bus. It has a bus stop less than a minute walk away and with the gps app these days it was far easier than a taxi and meant we could both have a drink. They started us off with the specialty bread and butter which was outstanding. This was followed by an exceptional dinner with amazing flavours. The service beautifully timed with the perfect balance of friendly and unobtrusive. The only reason I rated a 4 (which I deliberated about as it was very almost a 5) is only because my boyfriend said his starter (the scallops) was very nice, but it lacked something. Maybe the flavour needed an extra punch? I don’t really know .. he’s the foodie, not me. But it’s a rather overstrict 4 as we both loved it and will definitely go again and highly recommend this lovely place. Go, even if it’s only for that bread!

Came here for an Anniversary Dinner and was not disappointed. We had absolutely fantastic food that I believe is worthy of a Michelin Star. The a la carte menu is small but with adequate variety to cater for meat, fish and vegetarian diets. The small...

Second visit to this lovely little restaurant and can’t fault it. We had the tasting menu which was exceptional value for money and struck just the right balance between pushing culinary boundaries and providing really tasty food (and good sized portions). Service was impeccable. Would...

Ate here on a Sunday, went for the roast which was ok. Nothing to scream and shout about but just a plain roast beef. One bit of advice a bit more gravy may help.

Lovely food and such a nice change not to be rushed. A fantastic dining experience, will definitely be back

Excellent food. Nice ambience and friendly service.

A small restaurant in a lovely little village . Whilst there are excellent pubs in the area there are no quality restaurants. The Rodean stand out as a culinary beacon holding a torch for great cuisine . We had a fabulous meal . Fine dining...

Really lovely family run restaurant in the little village of Kenton. We tried the tasting menu - every course was well chosen, delicious and exceptionally presented. The service was good, the waitress seemed new but what she lacked in knowledge she made up with charm....

Fabulous Fathers Day and Birthday lunch yesterday. Brilliant food and service. Many thanks for a very special occasion.

Me and my husband wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time, but because the restaurant is only open on certain days and hours, and both of us in the hospitality sector, it was difficult for us to have time off at the same...

Went to the Rodean last night. Took my family, 3 generations, from 25 to 85. ALL were in agreement this meal was fantastic. Everything, pre- drinks outside on the green in the sun, the surroundings, the experience ,the service, topped off with excellent tasting and...

Lovely to be back and see it so busy. Well done all.

We have tried many times to book,but the restaurant has always been full. We managed to book Nov 21 and March 22,months in advance,and it was definitely worth the wait! Food is amazing and staff outstanding. We have already booked for Sept 22,in anticipation of another fantastic meal! Well done

Amazing food and flavours. Will definitely be returning 👍

Wonderful food and lovely staff Pricey yes but worth it for a very special treat

Absolutely delicious...I could stop this review right there... But the Rodean deserves a full review so here we go... Bowl of olives (which were soaked in a marinade)... while we made our choices, starters we had Scallops on a raisin jelly, Onion tart with whipped goats cheese, Mains Hake with battered mussels and a Pork belly...to finish... A sticky toffee pudding.. then we were served chef's petite fours .. it was all utterly delicious...needless to say we will 100% be going back, 👏👏👏👏

Fantastic food, great service and lovely relaxed but special surroundings. Also really happy that they were totally obliging to make me a cocktail not on their usual menu

Spectacularly great food and hospitality.

Best restaurant with the Exeter area.

I have been looking forward eating at this restaurant for a while. A warm greeting by Liz and her team followed by a meal to remember. Lovely ambience, a great menu with fantastic well crafted food. Well done to Matt and Liz you have created...

The best restaurant in the area. Superb menu & service

Very good food and customer service. Probably something could be done to improve the wine list but overall really good.

Great food and great service. Our favourite restaurant in the area.

Luckily we were on standby for a cancellation, Once we got the magic call saying someone cancelled. For us that was the best result. Another fantastic tasty evening. In our favourite restaurant. Matt the food is prepared so well the taste has been worth the...

Absolutely delicious and very personal. perfect venue for 60th birthday. Compact menu reflects the quality and a well priced wine list.

Lovely restaurant serving quality food that looks great and tastes even better. Super service from.the staff, made our visit all the better. Thankyou

A fantastic restaurant, the food was incredible and the staff were so accommodating and able to make almost any dish gluten free. If you are in the Exeter area you have to come try the catch of the day, book well in advance to avoid disappointment!

Thank you so much for a delicious meal - the staff were great and the food was wonderful. We really appreciate you catering for our dairy-free dietary requirements

On our way back from Dawlish to West Sussex, ready for dinner, we chanced upon a small boutique restaurant that looked very appealing in Kenton, Devon. As it is August we anticipated it to be fully booked but to our delight the owner squeezed us...

Beautiful modern British menu. Delicious local fish, fabulously presented and very accommodating to our youngest child (8 years old). Won’t be leaving it another 20 years!

Outstanding food and a lovely atmosphere. The Rodean is one of my favourite places to visit.

Moved in December and it was a first opportunity to try the restaurant. Well what can I say, it was amazing. One of the best meals we've had since moving down to Devon. A lovely place, a great atmosphere, wonderful staff that were so friendly and professional. A great chef that gave us the most wonderful three course meal at a very reasonable price we think, compared to similar restaurants in the area. You won't be disappointed.

We booked this in advance for our first night in Kenton and enjoyed it so much that, before we left, we made a booking for our be last night as well. Excellent food and service, great gins and tonic great Malbec. Worth every penny. Would...

Our first time here. We had a lovely meal to celebrate my birthday. The scallops were the best we have eaten in years. I had the haddock which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the pork belly, which he really enjoyed. We finished...

Excellent food, service & ambience. Loved it!

We had a superb meal here tonight. The flavours were complex and interesting. Everything was excellent from the food to the presentation to the service. Blown away by the quality of the food and the value for money.

Pretty little establishment on a quaint village green. Staff and food were lovely. Ideal location for an intimate special meal

We went here as a last minute booking to celebrate our son graduating university. The food is sensational and the staff very efficient and friendly. This will be a new regular destination. Very good quality cuisine for reasonable prices . Would highly recommend.

The food and the service here is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. The staff cannot do enough for you and the quality is fantastic. If you're in the area check it out, you won't be disappointed.

The food was excellent, with a delicious amuse bouche (unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the soup we had!) then followed by scallops, sea bass and beef all cooked to perfection. If this was local to us we would definitely be regular customers!! The...

Yet another lovely meal in this small family run restaurant 😋

WOW WOW WOW, was taken my my Husband who arrange this as a surprize 60th Birthday celebration, with my Family, well what can I say it was SUPERB

Our first visit to Rodean and it won’t be the last. Fantastic food full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Service was very attentive and well timed and all the finishing touches made for a very special evening.

Even considering the Covid restrictions this was excellent. Service, food, atmosphere, all top notch. You can not fail to be impressed. The acid test :- I will without doubt visit again. Well done to everyone working there.

Relaxed atmosphere. Good staff and excellent food.

We booked a table here on a Thursday night in October 2020 whilst staying in nearby Dawlish.We took a taxi to cover the six mile journey and we were the only diners on arrival although another party did turn up a little later.I had a gin and tonic prior to our meal and we were offered a pleasant amuse bouche and home baked bread.To start I had some delicious scallops, venison for main course and local cheese for dessert.Our wine was an excellent Gewurtztraminer but I found the dessert wine - Elysium California Black Muscat - somewhat Ribena like and less palatable.The service and ambiance of the restaurant was first class and although the cost including service was £160 for two, we both had a splendid evening.

Just had their Valentine's Day special takeaway - absolutely superb. So looking forward to actually come in for a meal again in the future. Many thanks to you all. Jan and Rod

Delicious 3 course meal for two, boxed ready to serve. A lovely birthday treat. Would highly recommend and would go back again.

We have passed this restaurant for many years on our way to Dawlish for our annual holiday and this year we booked it for our evening meal after a 4 hour journey. We were not disappointed! As we were with our 9yo, I was a little worried she’d maybe find it a bit “fancy” but she tried everything and they were kind enough to do her a small portion of the lamb - 3 weeks later, she’s still raving about the best lamb she’s ever had!We were that impressed, we forgot to take pictures (just one of the desert, which divine!) The quality of the food and the service was excellent and we will definitely be returning.

What can I say but simply wonderful, spent our 40th wedding anniversary night with friends and we can't recommend it higher. The food was outstanding, the staff were lovely, even though there was a young lady a bit the worse for drink , the management handled the situation well.We will definitely be going back and recommend every one to visit. 10/10.

I visited here to celebrate a significant birthday. Having eaten here before, I thought this would be just the place to mark the occasion with family members when I was able to come down from the north. We were not disappointed! The excellent quality of food, with the surprise starter and petits fours, was matched by really attentive yet unobtrusive service. I wish I lived closer to enjoy more regular visits! A big thank you to all the staff. A memorable meal.
