Herbies - Exeter

Lots of options and clearly marked on the menu. We enjoyed the mains but weren’t anything amazing, the dessert however was blimen delicious waitress was friendly too.

Although tasty, the portions were just too big; I feel that sometimes excessive portions are a way of justifying lower quality food and I would've been happier with a slightly smaller bowl that left me satisfied but not uncomfortable. I can definitely eat a fair amount but I'd say maybe a 1/3 less (still a generous serving would've left me savouring the food more and could help reduce food waste for customers who can't finish their meal in one sitting. Yes, it was tasty and felt home-cooked (this is a positive, I really enjoyed the personal touches in my bowl! but it wasn't extraordinary, perhaps because it felt like a battle to finish it. The presentation was very thoughtful and the staff were nice. Sometimes more is more but sometimes less can be more, so Herbies should be more confident in their abilities or perhaps give options for small, medium and large plates.

As I used to live in Exeter I have lost count of the number of times I have been here. Always great food and great friendly atmosphere.

Herbies is a top quality vegetarian restaurant. I went here a few weeks ago , before the Covid 19 started. The staff are fantastic and really friendly. Full of advice and help and tips. The food was amazing. Right in the middle of Exeter. Easy enough to find. I would throughly recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately I was unable to take any photos.

I've been coming here for over thirty years and have always loved the food which is consistently good. Herbies have always had great vegan options and most of their desserts are vegan too.
