Great, great food and wine. Attentive staff who know when to approach and when to just leave you to it. 6 of us had three courses and every single plate was top class and good value. Eccentric decor and huge tree trunk chairs add to the unique charm. Give the chain restaurants a rest and go here instead.

The Canopy was very nice. The drinks order was a little slow being taken. We all liked our meals. Convenient location. Reasonable priced. Friendly and clean

This is a quirky restaurant with very interesting and well-prepared food. We've been here twice before concerts and have been served both times by a knowledgeable and efficient person (possibly the owner?). We recommend it!

The service was very nice and the food was amazing - will definitely be going back! Had the salmon avocado salad for starter and a vegetarian lasagna for main, enjoyed both thoroughly and portion size was generous.

The food was generally good - chorizo lasagne very good but what you get differs from the menu. The lasagne was supposed to come with chips however I was served garlic bread. The starter was supposed to come with bread but it did not. The service wasn't as good as other restaurants in Exeter, we were not acknowledged when we arrived and I had to ask for a menu. I think there may have been specials but we were not told about them.

pleasant little place with quite a small menus and a very interesting interior. Food was fresh and tastey, barely any Italian wine on their list though and portions weren't that big

Brilliant as always, great ambiance, excellent service and fantastic food! Try their beef stroganoff, it is to die for accompanied by their Australian Malbec. And reasonably priced

Way over priced for what it was, specially the drinks. The table and chairs are very uncomfortable, they look nice but very impractical. Definitely would not eat here again, I don’t like getting ripped off and having poor service.

Great food, good local beers and nice people. My only gripe is that £5.95 is a bit steep for three calamari rings, oh and that I ate far too much. We'll be back for sure- I'll just remember order the shrimp starter instead.

Calm and cosy unusual decor of a woodland, overhead branches and leaves and furniture made of rustic wood. Very clean. Good portions of tasty food. Try the seafood combo; it’s excellent. Nothing disappointed :-)

Lovely food and lovely waitresses. Only prob with the Canopy is that the chairs and tables, whilst looking attractive and funky, are not the most comfortable - you can't get your legs under the table and the chairs are so heavy to move and difficult to put in the right place. Comfort is essential when having a night out!

Very unique decor and furnishings beautiful relaxing music. The prices reasonable £10- 14 for meals which tasted great. I had seafood lasagna,and my wife ,risotto Drinks were quite expensive Seemed like a family business There was a problem with our Groupon voucher, but the owner was discreet and apologetic, and we decided to use it on another occasion. We would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely calm, peaceful atmosphere. Brilliant service, very well looked after. Good food. I like the fact you are not rushed and there is plenty of space so you don't feel on top of the table next to you. Definitely recommend The Canopy.

Unusual but Lovely the way the restaurant is presented with Polite staff however we thought the menu was very limited with fish being very popular & repeated ingredients in starters & mains very little choice if you prefer meat would like to also see specials options - what We had was nice but nothing special & could have cooked same at home

V. good food, but evening slightly spoiled by seating, which looks great, but for 2 6-foot tall adults became increasingly uncomfortable as the evening progressed-even the kids remarked on how uncomfortable they were - seat too narrow and no leg room. Waitresses were excellent. Would definately return for food, but probably lunch rather than evening meal.
