Reviews summary
Herbies is a long-established, family-run vegetarian restaurant in Exeter that draws praise for its warm, relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and generous, home-style portions. Guests frequently note the restaurant’s strengths for vegans, vegetarians and those needing gluten- or dairy-free options, with thoughtful presentation and accommodating staff.

If you are in Exeter and you want some well crafted, well presented and fantastically tasting vegetarian food, Herbies is the place for you. Words don't really do justice to what was a great evening of food. If there was one problem it was that everything looks and sounds great and we didn't know what to order. When we chose we weren't dissapointed. We arrived without a reservation and a table was found for us without a problem. The service was great and we were looked after the correct amount. The food was amazing and we will definitely be visiting again soon to try more of the menu. Thank you Herbies please open more restaurants!!

Another fabulous meal last night. Super friendly service and excellent choice of food and drink. Thank you Herbies!
The most delicious vegan food I’ve ever eaten, the tofu ciabatta was so tasty and the service was really good, lovely staff. Would definitely come back
Wow! My first time at Herbies and it was absolutely delicious. The Buddha bowl was especially yummy. I didn't know vegetarian food could taste this good. Mikey was also extremely friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much bother. Absolutely incredible service. I couldn't recommend Herbies more!
This place is a gem! Absolutely delicious vegetarian food, i had the bean nachos followed by the pecan treacle tart and my stomach was so happy

Had such a lovely time at Herbies! The atmosphere was amazing and the music really set the vibe. The service was fantastic, especially from Andrea who made us feel so welcome. The whole table had an incredible time – definitely recommend!
Stopped by on a busy Friday night and luckily found one free table! The staff were lovely, attentive and very helpful when explaining a few things on the menu. The food was amazing! We shared some of the tapas style dishes everything was 10/10. Next time I’ll make room for dessert!
Smashed potatoes, banana blossom tacos, aranchini and corn ribs were delicious! Highly recommend! Only sad thing was the jackfruit sliders, which just tasted of bbq sauce. Another sauce should be added to compliment the bbq sauce, and more filling should be added, so it doesn't feel like you're just drinking bbq sauce.
Fabulous food and a lovely friendly atmosphere for such a reasonable price. Just visiting Exeter for the day and stumbled across Herbies, but will be eating here now everytime we come to Exeter, the food and flavours are incredible, cannot recommend enough.
