Exmouth is home to some long established oriental restaurants and the Lai family at The China Garden has served its customers with an extensive selection of Chinese cuisine for forty years. The ingredients are sourced either locally or from the Far East. The splendid menu offers cuisines from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

The décor is an interesting blend of contemporary lighting in a warm, comfortable surrounding. A superb view of the Exe Estuary forms the backdrop to the upstairs dining room at The China Garden.

The extensive menu offers classic favourites to contemporary specials, including a limited selection of dim sum. If you have a voracious appetite, you can eat to your heart's content from Monday through Wednesday as there is an option of 'endless feast' and, on Sundays, there is the buffet.

Choose barbequed spare ribs or chicken with cashew nut in yellow bean sauce from the chef's menu on offer. For the mains, sample the sizzling beef with chilli in black bean sauce or try the sirloin steak or ham omelette served with salad and chips.

Apart from the above, there are various other kinds of menus: set, takeaway, lunch, the chef's recommendations and each one of them has starters and mains. There is a wide and comprehensive wine list, plus a varied selection of beers, spirits, and soft drinks which complement the authentic food, making The China Garden a popular destination.
