I'm in Exeter for work on Sunday and looking for somewhere good to eat.
I'm into everything pretty much and don't want to gi anywhere near a chain so would like to support something small and local. Love streetfood but I'm open to it all, greasy spoons or nice cafes.

Margoux does a nice Sunday lunch in the city centre - new ish, slightly trendy restaurant, good food.

The Fat Pig is very good too in my experience. Gastro pub I think you’d call it.

Circa is also great. Steak/seafood type place, really good, in fact I’ve not been for a while and you’ve got me thinking about it now! I’m going to try get along this week.


That’s my top 3 in no order, in the city centre I think. Otherwise; Tyepyedong is great Asian food but very casual. Absurd Bird isn’t bad but it’s a chain/bigger operation.

Oh, Harry’s! On Longbrook street, not been for a while but it is good too.

This Moroccan used to be epic when I lived in Topsham. Great tagines and you can have a bang on a sheesha pipe if that’s your thing.
It was a long ago but it must be half decent if it’s still going

Was a big fan of the Rendezvous wine bar when I lived there.
