This is by far my favourite restaurant, being a coeliac is difficult when it comes to finding a decent place to eat, this place here just absolutely lives up to all expectations, the gluten free menu is perfect and has a large range of different meals, I've been multiple times and tried a few different things off the menu but my favourite is the GF Hot honey fried chicken burger 🍯🍗 🍔 The Halloumi fries are also a must! 😍 The staff here are incredible and the service couldn't be any better, the food service is quick and the staff always make sure everything is perfect with your meal and are happy to help if not! The only reason I marked it down by 1 star on Atmosphere is because I feel like it should be a whole lot busier for such a great restaurant 🤩 Places like this deserve our custom. Also in the females toilet I noticed a trolley for everybody's access with all different types of sanitary products and lady bits and bobs which I think is very thoughtful😊 Not a lot of places have the same little touches as Brightside! Will always recommend this place 👌🏼

One of my favorite places in Exeter for an evening meal, particularly when you've got folks in from out of town. It's a nice spot right by the river where you can see the sunset and watch the birds. I've been here a few times and they always have a great selection of ales. They have options for gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and everyone else. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating.

Sometimes, you go to an establishment and everything is just so great that you want to be able to award more than five stars. The Cheeky Vegan is one of these places. I have wanted to go here for a while now, since before even deciding to become vegan myself. Unfortunately, I hadn't realised previously that it had closed down. Lucky for me, The Cheeky Vegan opened under new ownership in March this year. Finally, at the weekend I had a chance to visit. It was well worth the wait. Immediately, there is a lovely welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of outdoor seating to sit and enjoy the sunshine and the views of the cathedral green, I love to sit and eat al fresco so this was a huge tick in the first box. There is indoor seating as well, for those that would rather not be outside, with lovely decor and a friendly but not overpowering atmosphere (you are not immediately assaulted by very loud music and can have a nice conversation with your dining partner). We chose a table outside and were greeted by a member of staff who offered us both menus. This was where my dilemma started... there were a number of amazing sounding options as well as specials on the board, I didn't know what to choose! I asked my partner to go to the counter and order and instructed her to ask which out of the chick*n burger or the new yorker hotdog I should get. We were recommended the hot dog. I can see why! As we had been cycling and very active that morning, I was feeling especially hungry, so I decided I would probably have room for a side of fries and a milkshake as well. I am so glad I was so hungry. Soon after ordering, our drinks came out to us. I was apologised to as there was an issue with the whipped cream, so there was no whipped cream topping on my biscoff milkshake, I didn't mind at all and they kindly put extra biscoff topping on there anyway to make it up. It was divine. To be able to enjoy a really good, well made milkshake again was absolute heaven, even before I stopped dairy altogether, I had real sensitivies to milk so was unable to enjoy shakes. My partner enjoyed a peach iced tea, which really hit the spot. Not long after our drinks were served, a staff member came out with the food. It looked superb, I had the new yorker hot dog, which is served with crispy onions, yellow mustard and ketchup, absolute classic and a side of fries, which were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and clearly freshly cooked. My partner ordered the veggie burger, which she ordered with a gluten free bun and also a side of fries. There are options to add things to the burger, but she wanted to keep it classic and enjoy the flavour of the burger itself. One bite and she was clearly in heaven. We were even given an extra portion of fries as a thank you for eating there, we were pretty full but still managed to wolf these down too! In addition to the great location and delicious food, the staff are absolutely wonderful! Welcoming, friendly and warm, I really would love to be able to give them an extra star for just being fantastic people. Thank you so much all of you! All in all and absolutely perfect experience and we will definitely be coming back again and again, I still need to try that ch*cken burger! Vegan or not, I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a fantastic addition to the plant based offering in the city of Exeter.

My favorite pub in Exeter- the vibes are always cozy (the fireplace is often lit in the winter), the staff is always so kind and helpful, and it is a fantastic place to have a meal or spend a rainy afternoon reading. The food is excellent- the chips are a favorite. The cocktails and drinks are delicious as well. My friends and I had our Christmas Eve dinner here and it was a wonderful experience. They have plenty of non-gluten and vegetarian options so there was something for everyone. The food was amazing, the decor was so cozy and warm, and the staff was fantastic as always. I can't say enough good things about City Gate. Thank you!

Decor looked tired. I had to change my chair as it was wobbly and the leg was about to fall off. Very loud atmosphere, staff took a while to check us in to table then to take our food order. I ordered the halloumi kebab and it was over cooked and hard and like rubber. We didn’t complain to wait for another meal as we had another engagement to get too after the meal so was pushed for time to wait again for a replacement. One of party members was Gluten Intolerant and we’re went told about scanning the qr code until she came to take our order. I made a point of mentioning a GF member on the booking so surely, when the menus were given out it would have been better to tell us then about scanning the qr code. She had to change her mind and felt rushed into choosing something as we’d all ordered before she was told how to see the gf options. Wouldn’t go again. I have been to the Botanist in Cardiff and had a completely different experience there. It was lovely.
