about us

“floating heaven”

A boat trip to a wonderful floating restaurant is an absolute treat. The fresh fish menu is superb and the staff always friendly. I have been three times and will go again.
“Phenomenal views, phenomenal food”

An absolute treat! My family and I took the water taxi from Exmouth marina to the restaurant which in itself was a lovely trip. All food and drink is locally sourced and freshly cooked on site. The food was fabulous (I had crab whilst my family all had fish and chips) and the views spectacular
“Amazing Venue . . . Amazing Food”

I visited this floating restaurant for a second time and the experience was just as good as the first. Very easy booking experience, very professional staff and wonderful food. Compliments to the Chef. I can't wait to visit again next season. I have even bought my Devon family vouchers for Christmas. Thank you River Exe Staff.
“Excellent food and venue”

From the start of the evening on the river taxi to arriving at the River Exe Cafe and the fab meal it was all faultless. The comment from our friends were amazing, cant wait to return. All over too quickly.
