Taste of South Street Bar & Kitchen

Head down to South Street and you'll find yourself in one of Exeter's most lived-in corners—the kind of place where locals actually gather, not just tourists ticking boxes. Taste of South Street does the brunch thing properly, without the Instagram theatre or eye-watering prices. You're looking at a bar and kitchen that gets what people actually want: good coffee, proper food, and somewhere you can stretch out on a Saturday morning without feeling rushed. The neighbourhood's had a real revival in recent years, and this spot sits right in the middle of it all, pulling in everyone from hungover students to families after a decent breakfast.
