The best restaurants in Exeter South West

Finally made it to Red Panda 🐼 and they didn’t disappoint! Super kind Customer Service, delicious bao buns (pork and chicken) what I really loved was a salad box and all the flavouring and texture from it!!

I visited Taco-Macho for a family birthday recently. The restaurant is in the upstairs of the Cuckoo Taproom so plenty of of opportunity for pre and post dinner drinks. Gustavo, Taco Macho owner, is a really generous host, his food really is utterly delicious and I could probably eat there every day! :) Everything is very reasonably priced and the restaurant space is small and chilled. There is also the option to have your food in the pub downstairs. Highly recommended!

Service was great, very polite, very enthusiastic Food was nothing short of stunning, very much agree with the comment of "Michelin-Star quality at under £30". Had 3 courses (Crispy Whitebait, Steak Sandwich, Chocolate Brownie) and a drink for £21. Very good for price Very suprised by the presentation, very excited for future generation of chefs and front of house!

The Cinnamon buns are incredible. It all tastes homemade and fresh. Still warm from being in the oven. It’s a real treat to get takeaway pastries here.

Perfect oasis away from the high street with friendly staff and delicious food. The rocket, parmesan and prosciutto ciabatta is particularly recommended!

Enjoyed my first burger at beginning of summer Thought I’d try again Wish I hadn’t. As nearly half an hour for a burger that didn’t fill me up Must be using smaller burgers such s shame.

Amazing service & food!! Non stop drinks & pizzas were on point! Emily was incredible and really looked after us! Recommend 100%!!!

We went to Pop on a Saturday early evening. Not from the area, we were struggling for a place to eat with 2 hungry small children. The guys at Pop welcomed us despite no reservation. The food and drink was out of site (the ribs and wings!!!!!!) and the kids were treated to an on the spot made dessert while they watched! We felt so welcome! Can't recommend highly enough. If ever in Exeter again we will be back!

We had lunch here today, in the garden. We chose the sweet potato burger (with a yummy brown roll and a delicious sriracha mayonnaise) and the Buddha box (brown rice, falafel, hummus, veg) and thought both were excellent for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike - tasty and healthy and not expensive. I don’t know when I was last so impressed with a meal in a cafe! Service with a smile, too.

Perfect ! Such friendly, helpful staff with a great menu . Made me feel very welcome . Good quality sausages , will definitely be going back again .

this spot has amazing food, 10/10. Flavourful as it gets. Would reccomend anyone fancying to try a new place for a quick stop for food. Will definitely be coming back

We celebrated my daughters 18th birthday here with cocktails and lunch. Neil and his team were lovely and really went the extra mile. Friendly place with great atmosphere. We were really lucky with the weather and sat outside with blue sky. Can't wait to go back! Thank you guys!

Consitantly Great food and service
