Cheap Food

• Maccy D's High street..drive through in Marsh Barton KFC South street and Sidwell street. Wouldnt recommend the chippy in sidwell street, waited 10mins for cod and chips with only 2 other people infront of me?! And then it was bland as hell. The coffee pot good cheap food daytimes.
• Hiras International Food Supermarket. A must see the the allthose culinary enthusiasts. The only shop i've seen in devon selling so many ingredients. Indian, Chinese, Tahi, Japanese, African, Polish (Eastern European), Mexican and Middle Eastern Food. Based in Well Street, Exeter Near St Sidwells School
• You really ought to bring some of these comments up to date - "I love Watty's Dele behind Dingles. It smells like foodie heaven and sells everything you want but really don't need - yum!" Shame that it closed ages ago. "Boston's on Paris Street (not to be confused with the Boston Tea Party Coffee Shop) is the best greasy spoon in Exeter, with a massive fry up for just £2.50. Avoid eye contact with most of the regulars though!" - Whole area demolished to make way for the new Princesshay development. "Gepetto's (Fore St - tiny family-run Italian, cheap for the quality of what you get)" - closed. "La Chandelle - under the Iron Bridge. not cheap but worth it for entertainment value because the woman who runs it is undoubtedly a close relative of Sybil Fawlty" - closed.
• Mc donalds and KFC is good and cheap
• The Fire House without a doubt serves the best food on a budget plus you can eat and get a bottle of wine for under a tenner.....brilliant!
• Metzo all day brekky and a pint - ideal.
• excellent value for money is found at the juice moose where great food, much of it organic and from local suppliers, is served in a bright and friendly atmosphere for a very reasonable price

• eddies in heavitree - immense.
• UNCLE RAJ sidwell street (round the corner from arena) Dee Yi - Chinese restaurant opposite the swimming baths in heavitree! MMHHH good food!
• Some of the food comments need updating. The 3 Amigos is no more, and Watty's deli shut years ago. Also Gepettos on Fore Street is now shut.
• Definately NOT Al-FARIDS Exeter. Expensive and overated. Tapas is good, meat content very poor. Unfortunately this restuarant has gone like many of the other themed restuarants, in the way of lurring customers in the early days, with good food at reasonable prices. Now gone drastically downhill unfortunately.
• Hi guys thanks for the great mention in your famous residents!!! column about Colin & Emma Spry How about a mention in the restaurant column for Starz Bar & Restaurant. Try www.Sugarvine.com and look under american restaurants for more info. Thanks again. Colin Spry
• Light of India, Heavitree, is awesome!
• The Magic Wok: great chinese.

• La Rossetta, Take Away Street, Newton Poppleford.Devon. Service without a smile, rude, hostile and unfriendly Food presented unhygienic and inedable
• Starz Bar & Restarurant, Lower North St. opened late 2003, massive portions, superb food, great cocktails and brilliant atmosphere.
• ooo the kebab shop in heavitree is AMAZING (i forgot the name). and the chippy near the clock tower is the best place for chips, especially after a nite out
• There are no nice restaurants, Micheal Caine's one is nothing special. For takeaways you could venture to Exeter's ghetto St Thomas for a cheap Chinese. (Well, apart from getting so drunk you pass out there isn't much else to do with your money).
• Mcdonalds and burger king in the high street. Much malined companies. But where can visitors get a quick bite to eat and a cup of tea or coffee after the shops shut @6pm
• Michael Caine's at the Royal Clarence is a restaurant that beats the rest of the nation.
• Herbies, Maccy D
• hmmm too many to list, faves include pizza express, ask, the spaghetti house for v cheap italian
• The Waterfront, though its in danger of giong the same way as Metzo
• Three Amigos a good place to eat ???? Okay for being overcharged for poor "Ex-Tex generic chilly (sic) Con (no pun intended) Carne. Service.... what you'ld expect from bored students. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE.
• The Real McCoy cafe thing, Pizza Express. Boston's, The Cavern in the daytime
• Get hold of a free copy of monthly listings magazine "The List" (from retailers all over town) - that's all I use to find out what's on!
• Ghandis Indian restaurant by the clocktower is good, but is often booked up at the weekends. They do takeaways too though.
• For the best meal in Exeter go to the Thai Orchid on Cathedral close, but you may have to book and is very expesive! usual fast food junk, loads of kebab shops, Herbies in North St. is great for veggie food. Otherwise head down to the river: Mill on the Exe, Waterfront pizzas, Double locks pub. The White Hart inn on South street does nice food too, but very quiet and non-trendy!
• The best chippie ive ever been to is next to the clock tower it does all the deep fried food you can think of and always visit it when im back in Exeter.
• Mad Megs is excellent. Medievil style decor and serving wenches in full medievil get-up. friendly service, good atmosphere and most important of all tasty, traditional food, cooked perfectly. Well worth a visit.
• Give COOLINGS in Gandy Street a try! you will be VERY pleasently surprised !! They do a MASSIVE range of salads, and great hot food, they do get busy at lunchtimes, bit up market, but dead trendy.
• There is also a new branch of ASK pizza pasta restaurant near the cathedral. The eating space is spread across a number of different rooms in what was originally a house as well as an al fresco patio area. Good value quality food with great service. Brazz is great but the service can be a bit dodgy. Starters can arrive with the main course and things like toppings can be missed off. Enjoy but beware!!!
• Brazz near the centre is ace. Top looking waitress served me (great french accent too). Very trendy and good for totty spotting
• The best restaurant in Exeter is without a doubt the Three Amigos in Bystock Terrace. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere terrific and the service is brilliant. And the chilli beer is world-class.
• I love Watty's Dele behind Dingles. It smells like foodie heaven and sells everything you want but really don't need - yum!
• I lived in heavitree which has a beautiful array of nasty kebab type places and curry houses.
• Boston's on Paris Street (not to be confused with the Boston Tea Party Coffee Shop) is the best greasy spoon in Exeter, with a massive fry up for just £2.50. Avoid eye contact with most of the regulars though!
• Despite several major flaws. Exeter is fab for grub. My favourites: Gepetto's (Fore St - tiny family-run Italian, cheap for the quality of what you get) The Nobody Inn (at Doddiscombsleigh. In the middle of nowhere, but worth it) La Chandelle - under the Iron Bridge. not cheap but worth it for entertainment value because the woman who runs it is undoubtedly a close relative of Sybil Fawlty. The Duke of York at Iddesleigh is the best of the lot (although bloody miles away). Apparently Noel Edmonds goes sometimes but I've never seen him. Masses of fantastic food and not too expensive. Plus you can stay overnight if you get too legless.
• If you want to eat delicious and cheap food try GOLDEN HORN on Fore street/166, and DENIZ KEBAP on Heavitree. You will enjoy the friendly atmosphere and TURKISH hospitality.
• I miss the food in Exeter!! There are many takeways in Exeter. Chinese, Indian and Italian and they have some great places to eat out as well. As well as your regular BK and KFC, they have some great places to eat. The Prospect Inn, a pub on the Quay serves good tradtional food and some world dishes too in a cosy atmosphere. The Mill on the Exe is also a great place to eat with a varied menu, you can sit outside and enjoy the River Exe in both these places during the summer. In the city there is a great Italian restaruant called Gino's which serves great pasta!
• Macs, BuK, KFC and all the usual. Harleys Cafe, Fore Street Arcade (top) = cheapish, plenty of interesting characters. Dix-Neuf Brasserie.
• Dix Neuf is now a Cafe Rouge.
• Lots of fantastic places to eat, including the American Diner, Cafe Rouge, Pizza Express and some fantastic pub restaurants such as the White Hart Hotel near the Quay. Also great for lunches because there are a large number of cafes, my particular favourite being the Boston Tea Party along Queen Street.
• ELLEN'S DONUT PARLOUR Top of North Street Next to ATHENA Loads of exciting flavours of American Style Donuts etc. Nice coffee & chat place.
• Ellen's Donut Parlour , top of North Street , Exeter REALLY great place for American - Style DONUTS Nice coffee etc.
