No 1 Polsloe — Restaurant in Exeter

My girlfriend had been wanting to take me to this cafe for ages. We had tried previously but it was too busy to get in, but it is well worth the wait!

We were about to leave as it didn't look like we were going to get a seat, until on table excitedly knocked on the window to say we could take their table, with a look on their faces which said: "you have to try this place!".

We got in and ordered a coffee and tea (the coffee was especially lush!) and took in the ambience of the place including the brick wall, the range of foliage dotted about and the choice of art hanging around the place.

Being a designer myself I felt truly inspired being in there and would absolutely love to take myself in there to work. And that's before the food came out!

I have lived in Exeter my whole life, and never before have I had a Full English Breakfast like this before! It was by far the best I have had (not including my Nan's... sorry, I'm biased) and would absolutely recommend, especially as it doesn't break the bank.

Overall it was a really nice experience and is certainly one of the (very) hidden treasures of Exeter, which makes it all the more special.

Thanks again No. 1 Polsloe, I'll be in...

A true temple to the millennial brunch - avo and eggs on toast but always beautifully made, great portions and the interior is just fab. The pancakes are great too. Expect a good coffee too, their fresh local speciality beans are used well. The pricing is very fair for the quality of food and service you get, and the staff and owner are lovely as well. Don't expect lightning food service but this isn't a dine and dash place, come for a relaxed slower meal instead. There's no where else quite like it in Exeter; a nice alternative to Boston Tea Party with a cosier more...

When we entered No 1 Polsloe, we were little bit unsure what the general routine was ordering under the circumstances of Covid. There were hand sanitiser instructions on walls. When we entered we were not greeted by staff, in fact I thought a customer was a member of staff and asked whether we were ok to sit down. Overall restaurant was clean and tidy and we quite liked the decor. The food came at a reasonable time however I felt that the food was overpriced and not that special. I doubt we will go back here again, it's not bad food but I think I'll just cook at...
