The best restaurants in St Leonard's Exeter South West

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

Nice little coffee shop with decent coffee.

Order a lot of food, was all nice, 2 of the party ordered steak, when it came out was only 2 slices, which we both thought wasn't really enough for the price, our total bill was over 200 pounds.

Buena selección en el menú, tuvimos una comida de bar que fue muy agradable, servida por un personal muy agradable  vistas preciosas de los jardines lamentablemente tuvimos mal tiempo para nuestra estancia, así que no pudimos disfrutar de ellos y sentarnos afuera

Took my Dad here for lunch as he enjoys a carvery and, although it was the only one, they offer a bean and lentil bake as a vegan option that you can have with all the carvery veg etc. so I ordered this. Sadly, when it was produced, the bean and lentil bake looked like a giant paxo stuffing ball with some vegetable pieces in it! Many of the carvery vegetables were off limits for a vegan diners too as they contained cream and others looked to be glazed but when I checked which o9ne sI coiuld eat I was told they use a special 'vegan butter free glaze' ....hmmm. The bean and lentil bake was mainly breadcrumbs and there was no trace of any beans or lentils. I queried what I was eating with the waitress who said she wasn't sure either and took the dish away to check with the ktichen. She returned 5-10 minutes later and advised they were not sure either but thought it was "mainly vegetables!" I decied not to eat the rest of the dish and my Dad had nearly finished his carvery roast by then so I skipped the main course and just had dessert with him. The restuarant was full when we went and, looking around, everyone appeared to be tucking into the standard carvery so I don't think there's much demand for bean and lentil bake or that the kitchen has anything prepared. On the plus side, my Dad said the carvery was fantastic and if you are all meat eaters I would definitely recommend a visit. However, if you need to order vegetarian options, I would tread very carefully or probaby best avoid this restaurant altogether.

We went for our daughter’s birthday. Three of us ordered beef and one had pork. Our daughter’s pork was fatty and the crackling rubbery. The other three of us had the beef, which was described as rump, but it was largely inedible. None of us could finish the meat. When the waitress came to collect our plates she did not ask us how it was, even though we asked for a doggy bag for the meat. I would have complained but it was our daughter’s birthday and i was asked not to. The pub is great, the drinks are great, the staff are great, and we have eaten there before and the food was good. However, we had three plates of meat that were very poor, i don’t know who the chef was that let them be served. It is not as if its cheap snd sadly we wont be eating there again for Sunday lunch.

What a wonderful experience. Staff and food was excellent 👌

We decided to take my son and his partner to Rendezvous the as a celebratory birthday meal. We had promised a super experience on the basis that it was our favourite Exeter restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience was not as we had come to expect. The fact that we had to go to the bar to get our first drinks for the table did not bear well for the meal. For whatever reason, we waited for 45 minutes before we were even asked for our order. A very disappointing experience given that guests arriving after us appeared to be prioritised over us. When the food arrived it was lovely but the experience had be ruined by poor service. We will think twice before returning again.
