See what the critics have to say

Founded in 1993 by the Pounds family, Harry’s is still independently owned and run today. The eclectic restaurant, bar and private dining room all sit within the iconic gothic style building, formerly Harry Hems’ 19th century architectural sculptors

Harry’s is a highly unusual find in Exeter city centre. Where the chains have devoured so many indies in the Devon capital, Harry’s has remained a family-run restaurant and the discerning local’s go-to for 30 years.

A perennial favourite with university students (and their parents), set in a marvellous building that dates from 1883, designed as a wood and stone carving workshop for the sculptor Harry Hems. Although the hammering stopped long ago, it remains a noisy place, with lots of birthday parties and celebrations, but the food is carefully sourced and meticulously presented. Pop idol Will Young cleared tables here when he was a student.

Waiting for our mains to arrive at Harry’s restaurant, I feel like a kid at the grown-ups’ table.

…the first thing on my Exeter to-do list was to finally make my Harry’s debut. It lives up to the hype…

If ever a placed qualified for the immutable rule of taking for granted things on your own doorstep, then Harry’s Restaurant in Exeter must be a top contender.

The menu ranges from expertly cooked steaks to falafel burgers and vegetarian mezze platters. The atmosphere is definitely one of the best in the city as well, with candlelit tables and eclectic decor in a gothic-style 19th-century building.

This buzzy independent restaurant just outside the heart of Exeter’s city centre knows how to make diners happy. Whatever you do, just make sure you order the choc ’n’ nut cookie for dessert (trust us, it’s worth the 15-minute wait).

For quality food full of seasonal, local ingredients, head to Harry’s Restaurant, set in a striking 19th-century building on Longbrook St.

Is there anything nicer than discovering a dining spot that’s always busy, buzzy and delivers a cracking menu?
