The best restaurants in St David's Exeter South West

Lily our waitress was great, always checking we had drinks as attendees for Bottomless Brunch. The food was lovely too. 1st time attending Turtle Bay we will definitely be back..

Excellent food, snacks and drinks and a huge selection of games to play. The staff can help with how to play the games and can recommend too. One of our favourite places to eat when we come into Exeter, my kids (11 and 13) already have favourites they like to play but also like picking out interesting looking ones so we always play something new.

One of the best places to eat in Exeter. Food is excellent, great service with a fantastic atmosphere.

Worst brown sugar milk tea ever taste just like water :/ We tried this place for a change we going to stick to tealith from now on

We loved the atmosphere and the Pizzas were DEFINITELY the most delicious we have experienced during our 4 years in the UK: outstanding flavour, with a crispy base. Well done!!!

First time trying Rosa's, absolutely incredible food. Had the crispy pork and then the Thai basil with ground chicken. Blown away with the freshness and flavour. Served by Kate, she recommended the Thai basil and was spot on.

OH WHAT A TRAGEDY! THIS WAS A FAVOURITE GO TO RESTAURANT AND WE HAD SPECIAL OCCASIONS HERE TOO. SUPERB FOOD, ATMOSPHERE AND SO ON, AM VERY SAD IT IS NO LONGER. CAN SOMEONE TAKE IT OVER PLEASE AND BRING IT BACK?

In a world of chain cafes and restaurants offering predictable, boring menus, we struggled to find an independant establishment to have lunch in Exeter. It was only by chance we passed Drake's sign on the pavement and walked down the little alley. And what a find it was! It was a busy Friday lunch time and all the tables were full but the lovely waitress (Mum of the owner), asked us if we'd wait a moment or two as a table was becoming available. Once seated the service was excellent. We struggled to decide what to order due to the lovely dishes on offer and once served, the food was delicious. The atmosphere was vibrant in this querky little cafe/bistro and clearly all the family are passionate about providing good service and delicious food. Our visit was brief but this little gem made a big impression on us. Pity we were only visiting Exeter during a weekend away, otherwise we'd become regulars!

We had never been to Exeter before but the smell walking past drew us in, we ordered a halloumi gyros which was super authentic and filled to the brim. Highly recommend if you're looking for something scrumptious!

Stopped here for a coffee. Lovely spot by the river. Some lovely gift shops around the place

Honestly, the best battered cod I've had for a very long time. This place is run by a chap who knows his craft and is looking for perfection. Tea was good too. Kudos. 5 years later... Still just as good 👌🏻

cute, good for studying. great food options and good coffee + unique and pretty decorated

The best Spanish restaurant I have been to in my 5+ years in England. I was thinking of coming again today when my heart sank seeing that it is temporarily closed. I hope to be able to return soon!! The atmosphere is impeccable, the food incredible and the staff the best of the best. It's like coming home which is greatly appreciated.

Poppy is an absolute credit to the establishment, I hope to meet her every Saturday night - what a legend!!

I was invited to a birthday party this weekend and found myself at a bar I’d never been to before—and won’t be visiting again. While the private party room was pleasant and we managed to create a good atmosphere, the bar itself left much to be desired. To start, the drink quality and pricing were absolutely outrageous. I ordered a Gin and Tonic, which is my usual choice. They used a bottle labelled Gordon’s, but I am certain it wasn’t genuine Gordon’s gin. The tonic was an unnamed, inferior brand. They served this in a small 200ml plastic glass and charged me an extortionate £7.90. Knowing that my body reacts poorly to cheap alcohol, I decided to switch to a bottle of Prosecco, which cost me £30. Although the Prosecco was mediocre at best, it was a slight improvement over the gin. I can’t help but wonder why so many young people in Exeter end up unwell after nights out, given the poor quality drinks sold at exorbitant prices in some bars. For me, this bar is definitely one to avoid in the future. I haven't tried any food, and I wont even going to try.
