Conservatory, The Description

Discover the joys of dining in this small but perfectly formed, family run restaurant in Central Exeter. The chefs carefully prepare diver caught scallops, West Country fillet steak, rack of lamb, woodpigeon and cheeses all sourced from Devon.

They opened as a café bistro but over time concentrated more on food after realising it to be in such demand. The menu changes each day because according to them, there's nothing worse for a customer than making a choice, only to find it's not available, a problem the constantly varying menu avoids. To give your meal a flavoursome start consider the tiger prawns, poached in coconut milk with fresh coriander and chilli.

Mains come forward with attractive options such as pan-fried calves' liver with Anna potatoes, pickled walnuts, sage and balsamic vinegar dressing or roast rack of lamb with pistachio nuts and fresh mint crust. Their carefully researched wine list has two specials, to complement the well-flavoured food.

Your Reviews of Conservatory, The

Gary & Sandi (3 October 2008)

Living in Exeter could in the past have provided a frustrating experience when it came to good food in the city centre unless of course the normal run of the mill franchises are appealing, which to me, they are not. The Conservatory is a light and airy restaurant set right in the older heart of the City. Pricing is keen at the Conservatory and the quality is always high from the fixed price two course lunches and early dinner right through to homemade cheesecake selection, which changes almost daily. My wife and I as well as my business associates have eaten there several times and the experience has always been flawless. The menu itself is varied but manageable for the kitchen staff, they have a good selection of meat and fish and always includes a poultry dish and a vegetarian dish or two. The food is perfectly prepared and unpretentious varying from lovely Westcountry scallops through rare calf liver to a perfect selection of desserts; try the homemade cheesecake or the Cornish cheeseboard. The all important wine list is short, to the point and caters well for the dishes on offer. The house wines vary, the last time I was in it was a lovely un-oaked Merlot, and it was so good we had two bottles with dinner. We love the Conservatory and we would urge anyone to visit it. The pricing structure is fair and competitive.
