   Stage delivers a tasting menu that feels thoughtful, exciting, and beautifully executed from start to finish. Each course was carefully balanced, full of flavour, and presented with real attention to detail. You can tell how much passion and creativity goes into every dish. The pacing of the menu was perfect, allowing you to truly enjoy each course without feeling rushed, and the atmosphere made the whole experience feel special but relaxed. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming, and explained each dish in a way that enhanced the experience rather than overwhelming it. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that feels elevated but still warm and inviting, Stage’s tasting menu is an absolute must. A truly special meal that stays with you long after the final course.

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem – the best place we’ve eaten in Exeter! From start to finish, our experience at Stage Exeter was exceptional. The service was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. The whole place has such a warm, homely feel, and even though we were sat outside in October, it was perfectly cosy under the outdoor heater. The food was out of this world — creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavour and made with real care and imagination. It’s clear that quality and detail are at the heart of everything they do. They also catered brilliantly for my nut allergy, which gave me complete peace of mind — a huge thank you for that. For the quality of food, service, and atmosphere, it’s amazing value for money. Without a doubt, Stage Exeter is the best place we’ve eaten in the city. If you haven’t tried it yet, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. We can’t wait to go back and bring more friends with us. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

   I have mixed feelings about the Stage. The service was very good and the people were nice and friendly, explaining everything they were serving. I also liked that they make their own products, like bread and beer. We all had wine, apart from one of us, but they offered a glass of beer to my friend to try, which was a nice gesture. The food was very unusual flavours, but out of the 6 courses, the first 2 were really good, the other 2 were OK and the main one, which was ramen with beef, was tasteless and the beef very hard to chew. I liked the dessert, but it was very small, like everything. We liked the homemade bread though. Also the place wasn't particularly tasteful considering they offer expensive gourmet food. If the price was normal, I would go back to try a different menu. But for £55 pounds, I had higher expectations to be honest.

   Really impressed. Beautifully cooked and executed, every dish had a twist. Service was faultless, every dish accompanied with a full explanation. A rarity. Our only niggle? the seating was a little uncomfortable and the restaurant, certainly below the mezzanine, could do with a little extra warmth. Definitely be back though.

   Atmosphere and location was excellent. The team are engaging knowledgeable and enthusiastic and what they are producing. It is well orchestrated and you are introduced to each course and the corresponding drink if you order the drinks flight. Outstanding experience, we will definitely revisit.

   This is the most exceptional dinner experience I have ever experienced. The fusion and pairings of flavours/aromatic ingredients used are not only their own but so adventurous they will astound and excite you all at the same time. Their passion for their culinary skills became contagious as the staff went from each customer's table explaining not only what they were sampling but who, how and why these flavours/ingredients were combined. These mixologist of their ingredients are wizards in the world of cuisine. What a fabulous vibe and atmospheric venue. Can't wait to go back.
