River Exe Cafe

About

A truly unique dining experience! The River Exe Café is a seasonal, family, and dog-friendly restaurant open from 1st April until the 30th September each year.

A custom-built barge that floats well offshore in the River Exe Estuary. The restaurant offers a wide range of locally sourced food and drink and is surrounded by amazing views.

The River Exe Café can only be accessed by boat. Either a Puffin Water Taxi from Exmouth Marina, or on your own boat. You can make a reservation here.

The restaurant is fully covered with outside dining areas when the weather is nice, outside tables are offered on a first come first served basis.

With a special emphasis on seafood, the café uses the freshest local food, maximising partnerships with some of the finest food & drink producers in Devon. The Specials Menu changes regularly according to what is available seasonally and from the local fishermen.

NEW FOR 2023....push the boat out! Try a truly unique dining experience on our new upper deck. Tables are available to guests with restaurant reservations on a first come first served basis, this area is over 14s only. Visit our booking page for more information.  Additional charges do apply.
