Stage

Nice little bistro. The tasting menu was nice, some plates were out of this world and some others were just ok. All were beautifully presented plates. The homemade cloud bread was divine, as was the French onion soup! Staff were very friendly.

I have mixed feelings about the Stage. The service was very good and the people were nice and friendly, explaining everything they were serving. I also liked that they make their own products, like bread and beer. We all had wine, apart from one of us, but they offered a glass of beer to my friend to try, which was a nice gesture. The food was very unusual flavours, but out of the 6 courses, the first 2 were really good, the other 2 were OK and the main one, which was ramen with beef, was tasteless and the beef very hard to chew. I liked the dessert, but it was very small, like everything. We liked the homemade bread though. Also the place wasn't particularly tasteful considering they offer expensive gourmet food. If the price was normal, I would go back to try a different menu. But for £55 pounds, I had higher expectations to be honest.

Had my birthday meal here. Was the first time I had been and it didn't disappoint. Will definitely go again The food was delicious and very friendly staff. The restaurant itself is a great setting

Genuinely 5* across the board. Robbie and Grace were absolutely amazing and were the golden cherry on top of what was a gorgeous experience. Cannot recommend this place enough. All ingredients are local & fresh and the presentation is superb. Best price:taste ratio you’ll find anywhere. I couldn’t take a photo before tucking into dessert but my god it was good.

Absolutely fantastic dinner ... This was our second visit and the food is next level. Leak & potato soup with monkfish dumplings, pigs head patty, parsnips done 3 ways, roasted garlic tortellini with Spanish sausage, spotted duck with Brie & sarano ham, a very indulgent chocolate mouse with honey ice cream and finally almond macaroons... Ever dish was sublime ..(sorry chef if I've got some of the elements wrong) finally we were very well looked after by Grace & Robbie ... If I could ten stars I would ... A truly excellent evening 🙏🙏

Went on a Friday night and the restaurant was lovely and busy. The service was fantastic, so knowledgable about the dishes and clearly passionate about them. Would recommend to anyone in Exeter. An amazing experience

Had a wonderful lunch here, amazing food, really good drinks selection and wonderful service. Planning to go again next year!

Consistently good. No, consistently amazing! We’ve been over a dozen times now and Stage is utterly fabulous. It’s modern, laid back, passionate with eclectic easy music vibes and a buzzing atmosphere. This is all aside from the star of the show which is their stunning food! You never know what you’re going to get but you will be inspired by the flavours they put together. Lots of home grown veg, homemade charcuterie, home brewed ales and stouts, excellent wines. Each dish is carefully put together with fantastic sauces, layers upon layers of flavours, top quality ingredients paired with unexpected tastes. It’s a food journey, a foodie’s heaven, a feast of a show. Everything presented with a perfect verbal description from lovely people who care about your experience. This place is special.
