Reviews in Exeter

A trendy environment, serving good quality food at reasonable and affordable prices.

This place quite possible does the best carvery in Exeter at the lowest price. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, and the food is fantastic and very cheap. Well worth a visit, I guarantee you'll be back.

A cracking restaurant, highly recommended. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere warm and jolly. And the food ... well that was outstanding.

Beautiful family run restaurant ideal for that special occasion. Food cooked to perfection and the staff were a pleasure to deal with. Take your time (you will not be rushed) to savour the delights of this little gem

We chose to go to The Digger's Rest purely spontaneously as it was close to home and we fancied a pub meal. We were very mistaken the food well exceeds a 'pub lunch'. It has become now one of our favourite restaurants. Friendly staff, great food, a lovely relaxed atmosphere and all at a very reasonable price what more could you ask for!?

Really tasty food, the mixed grill was excellent. Staff always friendly. I felt they went a bit overboard on some of the decor (almost verging on tacky) on what is overall a really cosy and relaxed restaurant (especially downstairs). I'd go there far more often but their drinks, particularly the beer, are so expensive.

We get takeaways from here at least once a week but occasionally eat in. The vegetable side dishes are our favourites, and the chicken tikka rogon is very tasty.

Now under new owners and what was a good establishment is now very good. The standard of food and service has improved and I feel that this might be due to the fact that the staff are enjoying life better under the new owners. I await with baited breath to see if they might turn the cellar into a wonderful wine bar using some of Rogers expertise.

Go and try the Pizza now! Go on; get up from your seat and go! This is the perfect place for group bookings! Pizza dominates the menu, but that? all you need really! Wonderful atmosphere for a kid? party right up to a works leaving do! Can't go wrong!

We went for a meal at the Thai Orchid recently and were very impressed. The food was well presented with a huge choice of authentic dishes etc. The restaurant itself is authentically decorated and has a very pleasant ambience. We enjoyed our meal and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

fantastic food in a beautiful location will not go anywhere else when i go on holiday to Devon. Highly recommended.

A tiny vegetarian and vegan restaurant in the heart of Exeter which means it gets packed, especially at lunch time. Great choice of healthy and tasty recipes from around the world, good sized portions, good value and a relaxed atmosphere

This restaurant is outstanding in every department and have enjoyed each time i visit. Has an authentic vibrant mexican atmosphere and the girl with the glasses (name?? sorry) is a delight to be served by. The enchilladas are delicious. Highly recommended.

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted. However the restaurant needs some updating as unfortunately they have tried to retain some traditionalism with the decor and the waiters uniforms etc. I believe that Harry Ramsden's should look at changing their overall appearence. The waiters uniforms for example are rather over the top and could be changed to something more appropriate. It can be swealtering due to the lack of a/c. The food was first class as was the service but that should be expected for the amount charged in all honesty.

As always the food was excellent. Only problem is that my wife will not eat anywhere else. It's that good!!!!!

If I call it old-fashioned, quaint, even the dreaded "nice", it might sound a little derogatory - but I don't mean it to be. It's the perfect place to take your Mum for lunch or a cup of tea when her feet are sore from exploring Deb's and Dingle's. Respectful staff, clean floors and table linen, unpretentious food. No risks, no hassle. Recommended dish: one of the many varieties of welsh rarebit.

Personable service, plenty of space and excellent food set the Barton Cross apart from town-centre restaurants. Food is reliably first rate and beautifully presented. Plenty of space, company and opportunity for relaxed pre and post dinner banter.

I was in Exeter on business last Monday and was trying to eat somewhere exciting. Half the restaurants were closed which I found highly irregular for a City centre! Any Malysian- no, any Noodle bars-no, any decent modern chinese-no, any wok based street food-no. I was totally underwhelmed, but I remembered a review I had read on Sugarvine about a place called Starz, it took some finding but I was relieved to find it was open. On entering I was expecting to be the only diner but the place was really busy. I thought that I may be crashing a private party but this the owner said was a typical week night. I had found probably the busiest restaurant in Exeter. I ordered a ribeye steak and a fabulous top of the range USA red wine which was ridiculously under priced. The really nice waitress arrived with a huge plate full of the biggest and thickest ribeye I have ever had, tons of crisp and fluffy fries, loads of mushrooms, salad and a pot of peppercorn sauce. In truth I was overfaced but I had a great time, the atmosphere was electric and the service friendly and attentive. I will want to return as soon as I am in Exeter again. The quality of this American restaurant far exceeded the likes of TGI etc, this place had soul.
