The best restaurants in St David's 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!

Fantastic food as ever last night in the @34, great to see the college working with alumni and outstanding local businesses to support the next generation.. fantastic

Very small premises but wonderful cakes/ lunches - can get full (of people and cake) but well worth a visit when you're in town

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.

Excellent food, coffee and service. Popped in for a quick bite and opted for the tiramisu. It was quirky and nice. You pour in the coffee onto the tiramisu base. Delicious. Will be more adventurous when I have time next time.

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

Oh my goodness, what a lovely cafe very glad I discovered by accident Delicious tasty food, great staff, and a fab atmosphere.....very glad I'm local and have no hesitation in recommending and will definitely take the right hand turn off Queen street again !!!

Generally don't submit bad reviews - life too short, but was quite offended by this place. First ever visit here today, tho I often come to Exeter and go to lots of cafes with my laptop to work, and generally have a good experience. So went in and approached the counter, where the staff quite honesty looked annoyed at my presence. Was curtly told to take a seat, which I did, and then come back and order. Found a seat and went back to counter and asked for the £6 bacon sourdough sandwich and hot drink deal. Again, staff were quite unfriendly and then rang up the order and asked for £8 something. When I pointed out that it was £6 they looked really fed up and the manager tried to make out that I was ordering the wrong thing for the deal, which I wasn't. I then went back to my table and asked if I could work on my laptop and plug it in (something I always do out of basic curtesy). The sandwich came and had one rasher of bacon in it, and the cortado I'd ordered was the worst rendition of that Spanish classic I've ever tasted - 6 quid for that!! Anyway, I ate (as was hungry - this was my breakfast), worked for a bit on my laptop and left about 40 mins after I'd gone in. The staff completely ignored me as I left, even as I attempted to say goodbye. The bad food I can accept - its basically for students who know no better, so the place can rest on its laurels - but I was treated by the staff as though I was just some enormous turd that they didn't want in there. They were clearly students, and I guess it being Exeter, were of the spoilt, self-entitled variety who feel that basic manners don't apply to them? Who knows - anyway, won't be going there again!!

Me and my husband stopped here for some lunch at the weekend whilst visiting the Christmas Markets, the sandwiches we had were delicious and I loved the vibe of the place.

Husband saw a review somewhere recently which said best bacon bap in Exeter was from Buttylicious. Had to visit furniture store earlier today which is just down the road so thought let's give it a try. What an amazing choice of food at very good prices but decided to stick with our original choice. Three very large thick slices of lovely bacon in a soft bap. Had to go back to the lady to say how lush the bacon was. We will definitely be back but not sure for what as so much to choose from. Maybe a cheeseburger as another customer was just being served one and it too looked delicious. Don't anybody think this is just another butty van in a car park, it is so much more!

14 of us celebrated my husband and my birthday's at this divine spot last weekend. From the moment we stumbled across The Ocean Club on a walk along the quayside (in itself pretty special) to making our booking, to having the party itself (complete with delicious pizzas, salads, charcutier boards and of course cocktails to die for), to the follow up - we were looked after like superstars. The team are quite simply superb, and the venue itself is elegant, comfortable and fun. It certainly kept a bunch of 50-plussers going all night. Could not recommend more (but not so much that it is fully booked and we can't go back!!!). A perfect edition to Exeter.

With our first visit to Caribbean868 we were in for a real treat. Firstly, we could actually smell the food before we even saw the stall and let me tell you..it smelt soo good!...secondly, we saw the que of people being served, this was a good sign. We were greeted by Chris and his wife Sasha who are so friendly. They saw us waiting and asked if we wanted to sample some curry which we happily agreed to. I can honestly say that this is the best tasting west Indian curry I've had outside of the Caribbean....after a few samples my partner and I chose the Beef curry and Bake and fish. I went back for seconds!!! The taste of this food is absolutely delicious. I could not get enough. Then onto the coconut cakes...wow! my taste buds were going nuts by this point. With all meals made easy to eat, I could of spent hours here. Nothing was too spicy, it was just right. To be sat there in the sun eating Bake and fish takes me back to being on Maracus beach in Trinidad..well almost lol.. Prices were excellent, Chris and Sasha are warm and friendly, and the vibe given off by this place really makes for an enjoyable visit..So if you are in Exeter and would like to try `Authentic` Caribbean food cooked by Trinidadian`s then be sure to visit Guildhall and sample this place. A 5 star review for food, prices, customer service and overall experience. 100% recommend Caribbean868 Thank you to you both Keisha and Craig from Newquay

Fresh, big portions, high quality ingredients and the price is absolutely shocking! Best value for money! Highly recommend to give it a try and you will only get your sushi and bubble tea here !
