The best restaurants in Exeter South West

Nice enough cafe and the cakes are lovely. However they really need to rethink their pricing for children. I paid almost £9 for the smallest sandwich we've ever been given in a cafe, and 3 kids snacks (banana, yoghurt pouch and crisps).... assuming the 3 snacks at the absolute most were £3 it was almost £6 for a sandwich with almost no filling and a tiny slice of thick bread....not overly suitable for a toddler. Unfortunately it's unlikely i would return and it's a shame as there isn't much suitable in the city centre for kids. There should be a kids menu for £5-6 as there is in most places, even if this consisted of 1 less snack it would be more affordable for many families.

This has been the best Chinese in Exeter consistently for many years. Not only is the food always great but so are the delivery times, service and prices. They always make the effort to tell you how long the delivery will be and it is always shorter. Crispy chili beef is the best.

“I was so impressed with my burger this evening ! I tried the Aventador and my girlfirend got the Double Cheese We both finished our whole plates and were so impressed with the quality of the food and the short amount of time it took to receive it. Our waitress was sweet and helpful. I will definitely be back!

The sirloin beef was excellent, and the vegetable cook produced perfect freshly cooked vegetables to go with the meal (no English mustard?). The restaurant was clean and the view is amazing. Nonetheless, the best meals are served by good waiters. I felt sorry for our waitress who had so obviously received totally inadequate training; we had to ask for a drinks menu. It was about twenty minutes before the wine I ordered arrived at our table. After our meal had been served, no one came to ask if everything was OK, (and it wasn't a busy day). we had to wait ages for our plates to be cleared and again when we wished to order our desert (As, I noted, did our neighbouring table). The pleasant atmosphere was somewhat spoiled by rather loud Musac. This was a rather harsh noise coming from the speaker above our head, completely tuneless and utterly pointless. If you feel the need to put a noise through the speakers, please make it relaxing. And tuneful would be nice!

Another lovely carvery, staff friendly and polite, we always book as it gets busy. See you all again

Paré en la cafetería dentro del Exeter be & Q. Escondido en la esquina de atrás, a menudo se pasa por alto. . . Buena selección de bebidas frías, tés y cafés. No está abierto todo el tiempo que la tienda está abierta, así que verifique antes de visitar.

always a friendly professional service. Very tasty and always made just how i like it heat wise....great value for money and highly recommend a visit and taste ...great variety of foods on offer depending on your dietry requirements ......definitely made me and my partner become regulars!!!

Wouldn’t waste you money food arrived tasted horrible, onions were burnt, and swimming in grease Disappointed

What a night! The chicken korma banged. Saag Aloo 4/10. Free poppadoms slapped. And packet of monster munch x

BOMBA — Great venue, great service, and the best Mexican food we’ve had outside of London or America (we lived on the west coast of the USA for 13 years and enjoyed a lot of Mexican food). Proper stuff, not the lost-in-translation food from other places as the chef must have grown up eating and making and living it. Fish tacos even — a rare find! I had the veggie halloumi tacos which were amazing. 😋 The chef will make GF bowls on request. So good!

Brilliant customer service friendly would not go anywhere else best fish and chips in Exeter always packed Tel orders best on a Friday night

Had a great time in pizza express. The atmosphere was brilliant. Service was good didn’t wait long at all. Wendy, Enzo and Adam all great staff

We've tried a few Chinese takeways in Exeter and they've all been 'OK' but no better than that, until we tried Oriental express. This place was the most recent, and as of then, is the ONLY place we'll go as everything was excellent, apart from the food which was AMAZING. You definitely won't get a better Chinese meal than what you get here.

My daughter suggested this place as it accepts dogs. Luckily, her dogs behaved, unlike the German Shepherd near to us. This dog was a massive distraction. That aside, the food was good but overpriced imo. Staff were courteous but I probably wouldn't go back.

Probably the best meal deal you can get for one person and a very good potion. The food is very good and the staff are very friendly. Best local Chinese takeaway
