Marcela Maturana

Very nice and fresh food, I had a lovely gluten/soy free and vegeterian option.

Oliver Defew

Fixed price lunch menu was great value, attentive staff, good gluten free options.

Mike Alsford

Really nice venue for a chilled meal out. Good food and a wide range of gluten free options. Our server Katarina was fantastic, very welcoming and attentive.

Very tasty food and lots of gluten free options. Portions are not the largest, certainly not the cheapest, but worth the money. Service was very nice. Restaurant is unfriendly. The smoked BBQ burgers are particularly recommended. Fries too weak for my taste and not crispy enough, but they are only side dishes, so it's better to order one more main course.

Millie Harris

Shaz you were fabulous! Super friendly and welcoming! Came here for lunch with my two younger brothers and my dad and was fab! I have coeliac and I felt super safe ordering with them and the food was so delicious as always! Highly recommend. I had the beef burger which was huge and so yummy. Also the kids pancakes were incredible!

Isla Harvey

I forgot that my friend is allergic to gluten and was very relived to discover they have GF pizza too. Everything was delicious. Thanks!

Kim Tonkin

We had the £10 fish and chips and it was absolutely amazing as always. I have a gluten intolerance and the batter on my fish is the best I have ever tasted. The alcohol free gin was very nice

Julia Mitra

Very good food and atmosphere, a bit overpriced but also a great location. Had quite a few vegetarian options, as well as gluten free buns and pizza bases - the gluten free pizza I had was decent quality.

We randomly chose to dining at Herbie’s because I was looking up the best gluten-free restaurants to eat in Exeter. We were visiting and I have coeliac disease. Herbie’s came up so we made a reservation went out for an early evening stroll before dinner. Just to make sure it was ok - we walked by and it was full and looked adorable. Like a cool, casual but characterful uni restaurant that actually serves healthy food. Well … we weren’t disappointed. The food and service were lovely! We had the cauliflower & balsamic drizzle starter which was delicious. For mains - nachos with their 3 bean chilli (my only complaint is trying to sell the chili as a special separately when it’s always already made for the nachos. BUT they didn’t try to hide it……. Im just questioning how it can be a special when it’s made for the nachos daily? Also had their Buddha bowl and an orange wine which is rarity. We love Herbies! Highly recommend if you’re visiting Exeter and are veggie, vegan or gluten free! Everyone working there was lovely as well.

Lily Pad

My go-to pizza restaurant in Exeter. Lovely setting with views of the cathedral. They are brilliant at catering for gluten free (Coeliac UK accredited) and service is always great. Wendy (the manager) is fab!

We were visiting Exeter for the weekend and came across Cotë. Pleased we did as we really enjoyed the food here. My son is Coeliac and we chose here for its GF menu. It was an excellent, diverse and inclusive menu. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The booth we sat I. Was private and comfortable. The single and only negative point was the noise level. It was very cosy and the noise was overwhelming - maybe some soft furnishings to absorb the sound 😊 The food was delighted reasonably priced.

Nichola Sherriff

I love this place and do enjoy having so many vegan and gluten and oat free options to choose from and they taste lush!

KT Bennett

fab if you’re celiac!! so professional and the allergy system is super easy to follow. staff are always so lovely and helpful, my favourite place to eat in exeter!!

C Carter

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.

Alice Johnstone

Always great! Amazing food and great for coeliacs!

Moajiz Hussain

Amazing bakery, everything is delicious, even for people who can eat gluten, staff are so friendly, and prices are really good for the serving sizes when compared to other GF bakeries

Carole Norman

I love all the gluten free options

Jules Bristow

Delicious locally sourced vegan and gluten free food, the portions aren't huge but everything is very tasty. Delicious coffee, kombucha on tap and the best gluten free muffins I've ever had.

Andy Evans

Very nice meal with limited but tasty gluten free options

Will Snow

What a gem in Exeter! Authentic Thai cooked by lovely people. Love the wooden furniture and hand painted signs. Good sized portions at reasonable prices and great gluten free options

jon lee

My favourite place to eat in the world. The food is fabulous and they can cater to me being a coeliac.

Sanna Gatehouse

The gluten-free cakes, steak pasty, and sausage rolls were delicious. Along with that, the staff were very friendly and accommodating especially after a misunderstanding with my order. There was a genuine personal interest shown! I highly recommend this place.

Mark

Nice coffee & great homemade cakes. Including gluten free options.

Lorraine Moore

Lovely gluten free pad thai. Highly recommend

Katie Stephenson

Excellent gluten free options - all the fillings were gf and could choose between corn tacos, tortilla chips or a naked burrito. Very tasty and great service and dietary advice from Ben. Thank you 😊

Linnea Thorpe

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!

Summit Detailing

Quite possibly the world's most expensive garlic bread...which wasn't even that garlicky! Almost 3 hours tells a story of how inattentive and prompt the service and food was (it wasn't like the restaurant was full either!). If you are going to offer a Gluten Free pizza option at least make sure the base doesn't need a chainsaw to cut through it! - a bit stingy on the topping front too while we're talking pizza's! This was going to be a 2-star review but my partner enjoyed the Monkfish starter & Panna Cotta dessert which apparently rescues a star?! Approach with caution...

Olwyn Mitchell

Phenomenal food. Stands up to the hype & exceeded my expectations. The people were delightful, and the food and drink pairings exquisite. Unusual food flavour blends and profiles that work incredibly well, beautifully cooked and presented. Delivered a dining experience worthy of every plaudit - and a gluten free dining experience that surpasses any other I have had.

Madeleine Thorn

My favourite local cafe! They have such fantastic vegan and vegetarian food, and good gluten-free options too! Friendly staff, great location and dog-friendly :)

Suzanne Cosgrave

Love the personal attention and warm welcome. There is quite a short menu but we don't have any problem find something to eat and we're gluten intolerant. Food couldn't be fresher - always pleased with our choices. Friendly place - a real gem.

Abi Joint

Ordered delivery that turned up 2 hours later. Food was stone cold. No apology and the gluten free base was so rank I couldn’t eat it. First and last time ordering. What a waste of £40 !!

Gabriel Belmont

The overall all experience was fine, however having to ask for more gluten free soy sauce for my mother in law (she's a celiac) was outright embracing. The overall experience and quality of yo has declined during and post covid.

Pete Hampton

We came for breakfast & was Served by Roxii, Roxii was very friendly, polite & helpful made us feel very welcome. Roxii got gluten free bread for me & toasted it for me, Roxii also was topping up the apple juice for us & asked if everything was ok & asked if we needed anything else. Roxii was friendly & chatty with our 3 children. A very good breakfast experience which was went smoothly with great service from Roxii.

Andrew Rowles

Very relaxed enjoyable evening. Food was great & service was excellent. Gluten Free well catered for.

F Roze

Absolutely wonderful food, excellent staff and amazing atmosphere. Has a good range of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options suitable for even the most complex dietary restrictions like myself. Has great wheelchair access with a very roomy interior and excellent wc set up (no bins or other furniture placed in wheelchair transfer space). Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

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.

Damion Hallett

Great gluten free options, lovely staff and is very clean. Amazing food, best takeaway in Exeter for sure!

Carl East

Visited today for Gluten free chips to be told they haven’t offered them for a “couple of years now” despite the (knackered looking) 3 foot high sign out side saying “we serve Gluten Free fish & chips every Monday”. Disappointed and a bit puzzled.

Daisy Harrison

Great food and the service was brilliant too. Viking was really helpful with recommendations for a friend who is gluten free. Thanks! Will definitely do Taco Tuesday again :)

Emily Kirk

Lovely lunch with work friends. Lovely staff and delicious food. I had the gluten free fish and chips which was a real treat. Lovely light batter which isn't usually the case with GF! Also good banter from the waiter!

R Clark

The baked good are unreal! Especially the cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. Lots of gluten free cakes too. Sandwiches look delicious (though I haven’t personally tried). Everyone is so friendly and up for a chat. Dogs are welcome and drinks are lovely - what’s not to like! Just make sure you get there early if you want your pick of baked goods :) Perfect stop on a quay walk or for a catch up with friends.

Hannah Burton

What a wonderful little pub! Tucked away just outside Exeter, this little gem has a fantastic range of food and a good atmosphere. As a celiac, I am somewhat nervous around eating out but the staff here wholeheartedly reassured/guided me and I ended up having a wonderful gluten free meal. I didn't manage to get our hostess' name but she was able to chat me through the whole process and made sure the kitchen was aware of my allergy. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out the front in the sunshine. I would 100% return again!

Heather Camus

Not only great service, amazing food, (including gluten free option), but eco positive, using naked sprout products, (Britain's most sustainable tissue) & giving back to the planet via #BeOnePercentBetter. Definately a gem that Exeter can be proud of. 😊 I'll be back!

Julio Cesar Osorio Muñoz

small new place in Exeter, the gluten free pizzas are amazing quite tick crust but delicious, and the chicken wings are a most. Definitely coming back

Andrew Rockall (Drewsky)
