    I rode by the Salty Pigeon several days ago and decided it looked worth trying out. I had no…read morereference for it at all, just a chance encounter. I was thrilled with the discovery. The setting is tasteful and elegant, nothing fancy but nice. The bulk of the seating is upstairs. The menu is well sized; not overwhelming. A nice "About" story is printed inside the menu, introducing you to the players and bringing a nice personal touch to the experience. I ordered the duck confit with black pudding and bacon lardons and jus starter and the lamb rump with couscous for the main. For the wine I ordered a glass of local red wine (from Kenton winery down the road), which surprised me as well. Very drinkable and matched my meal nicely. A taste of a potato and garlic with truffle oil soup (biche?) was served while I waited and my taste buds were raring to go. The duck confit with black pudding was like an umami explosion in my head - utterly delicious. I was sad to see it end. The lamb rump, which was served with a sage infused jus, was even better. This was by far the best meal I'd had in Exeter (and one of the best in the UK). After discussing the jus with Ryan, the owner, he brought out a small bowl for me to dunk my bread. Unpretentiousness scores high in my book. That bordered on awesomeness. To finish I ordered the cheese platter and another glass of wine. Ryan introduced each cheese to me (all locally produced) and as I was the last customer in the restaurant we chatted about a few things. A good host, new to the trade with an excellent product. I enjoyed it so much I felt compelled to write a review (which I don't do often). Seriously, if you live in Exeter or are simply visiting, make this one of your destinations.
