15 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Exeter

“We had a fantastic dinner. An extra bonus was watching the chefs cook, they were like an orchestra so coordinated. The sitting had 26 diners. The menu changes every week. We had bean soup, a choice of smoked salmon salad w potato or polenta with pork ragu, chicken with spinach or cod with carrots, beef with potato and red cabbage or pork and lentils, toffee pudding or funnel cake ( fried dough). Everything was delicious, there was not a single dish that we did not love. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back!“

“Sawbelly burger, get it!! It's as good as any burger at Tuckaway. In fact it is a Tuckaway burger! Great brewery with delicious food. Not all beers are great but you can sample them and find something suitable. Beer flights are $13 and the pours are generous.I love the ambiance and the coziness of the booths against the wall.They often have live music which, most recently, was quite awful. Fortunately, the volume was low enough on the restaurant side to make it bearable.I love the service and, in summer, they have a huge outdoor seating area that is dog friendly.“

“What a delightful place next door to the Exeter Amtrak station. This small cafe is a mom-and-pop style shop with delicious staples like corn beef hash, omelettes, and eggs Benedict. Frequented by locals and visitors alike, this cafe is a gem, still seeped in the charm of diners of yore.Service is warm and inviting: as soon as you walk in, you are made to feel right at home. Old train schedules adorn the walls, reminding you of railway history from decades ago. Trackside Cafe is a must-visit if you find yourself in Exeter!“

“Just had lunch again today, the food and service are excellent as usual. I am new to town but Laura, our host knew my name after a couple visits. Not crowded but busy and promptly served. This where local people come for pastry, breakfast, a quick lunch and coffee in a comfortable but not fancy setting. The clientele is drawn from the business community or from adjacent Philips Exeter Academy. Today, an artist was hanging some of her creations. . Exeter is a trendy town with a great variety or restaurants, some catering to people who want to dine on the village's array of diverse but pricey culinary options. St. Anthony's is where you go for g great affordable meal or takeout a very informal, low-key, part bakery, part eatery. Closes at 2 and by then most of the fresh baked goods are gobbled up, but drop in the next day for something or the previous day's scarce day old bread, muffins and cookies at a discount. Anthony was busy in the kitchen today but he usually comes out to chat with customers, many of whom seem to be regulars. He is definitely a people person and, a warning, a Yankee fan in Red Sox world. His eatery is strictly a breakfast and lunch place. Closed on Sunday and Monday and Good Friday. We usually have the soup of the day. and are devoted to the Thanksgiving sandwich, a retro specially for those of us who crave ia post-feast favorite, year-round: a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich. Also like the "moots" and tomato' sandwich. Prices are the best we have encountered in this picture-book village.“

“Staff was very accommodating. We had a very large group of family and friends. The staff wasn't expecting us as no one had called ahead to let them know we were coming. They moved almost all of their tables together for us. The service was fantastic. No one had to wait for long to be served.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! I have been going here for many years, always top notch. What stands out to me the most is the costumer service. The staff are truly amazing. I want to recognize Pam. She greets you with a big smile and goes far beyond her role to satisfy everyone's needs. She is always running around, working hard. She makes my day!!! Thank you Pam for being so great and always making our trips to New England pizza amazing!“

“Excellent bakery and lunch menu. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, too.Can’t say enough about the friendly staff!This is definitely a local favorite. There’s a line most times, but it goes quickly.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options“

“One of the nicest places to eat in Exeter. We got a great table on the patio in the back overlooking the Squamscott river. I started with an excellent margarita, and then had the blackened haddock tacos -- tender flaky fish, fresh avocado, really tasty! It came with a side of cole slaw, which was also good -- not too creamy. Overall atmosphere of the place is charming, with indoor dining just as nice as outdoor. Waitstaff was great. Will definitely come here again!“

“My hubby & I order from Ohana 1-2/month. We always get the same bowls, so the regular staff pretty much knows our order. :) Quick and easy to order online or via phone. When ingredients are freshly made (rice) and ripe (pineapple), bowls are absolutely delicious! The staff is always friendly and quick to remedy, if any issues. Easy parking in the adjacent lot. I have tried poke bowls in other parts of the country and in my opinion, none come even close to Ohana.“

“Amazing quality meat with great accomodations for gluten free and dairy free. Love their GF buns the burger selection and their fries are pretty damn good too. My favorite burger is the farmhouse and I tend to make it a triple patty. So good and a great price too. Always such friendly staff and very cozy atmosphere if you choose to dine in.“

“We haven’t been out to eat in months…. I mean months since august of 2023 when my mom had a stroke. We went out tonight and we had Nikki as a waitress. She had a 20 top as well as other tables while she was waiting on us and not only was she super pleasant but the drinks and food were fast and DELICIOUS! I’d give 10 stars if I could!“

“Amazing. Seems to be under new ownership and everything was so good - from the food to the service. I highly recommend everything we got: crab Rangoon, pork buns, sesame chicken, general tsao's chicken, Singapore Mei Fun noodles, and fried ice cream. We'll be coming back often!“

“Ordered take out and it was fast easy and delicious. Definitely ask for silverware and or chop sticks as my bag did not have any. I had the chicken pad Thai and it was simple and delicious if you like spicy definitely be sure to specify as there was no heat on the original order.“

“Stopped for a light dinner. ???. Ended up with the sirloin tips. It was more like sliced steak. I had no idea of how large the portion would be. The tips had a such an excellent flavor. ???. I’m fussy about my steak as I mostly only like it the way I cook it. These were EXCELLENT. As well as the rest of the meal. It was busy but served rather fast. Beer on tap was good. Excellent waitress. Highly recommend“
