    Probably one of the best located restaurants in Exeter. Delicious food and a nice view over the quay. Booking a table in advance is recommended.

    The nice location by the quay in no way compensates for the pizzas carved from pure blocks of salt.

    but its more than that, its situated on the quay, and makes for such a nice outside dining experience.

    Having taken the 'Hour Glass' pub off my list recently because of the very bad staff attitude, I…read morewas glad to find 'The Port Royal' Pub and Restaurant just a bit further along the river. Food = excellent value for money Staff are welcoming Price = I could go once a week during the week to keep myself bouyant. Setting= Romantic/Nautical/Easily walkable from the Quay (Parking limited) Buses= Just off Topsham Road (K, R, S & T from City Centre to St Leonard's Church). Big Big Helpings of yummy grub. Ideal for the University of Exeter Students with aquatic activites at hand. I think it's worth going regularly for locals and well worth a visit if you are a working tourist from Truro like myself. July 2010 Re-visited Port Royal recently and they were doing well because of the sunshine and people out walking. The food is passable still, but they barely cope when it is busy. Let's hope they can improve their customer service a little?

    Away from the rest of the quay and riverside pubs, it is sometimes overlooked and so if the quay is…read morebusy, you might find a spot at the bar during the summer months. The owners are very friendly and offer a warm welcome. There are two sides to the pub (and four areas). There is the pool table and bar side, the bar side, eating area and the patio next to the river. the food is very nice and the bar stocks a wide range of drinks. Dogs are welcome in all but the official eating area but you can eat anywhere in the pub. Avoid the crowds and explore further up the river (away from the quay) and you will be rewarded.
