Best Brunch Restaurants in Exeter

Charming place with attentive service, delicious food. Perfect if you want French food without pretensions. Right around the corner from equally charming Charles Street.

This was the sixth or seventh year we have had our holiday lunch at Harvest. The food was superb and the wait staff is wonderful and gracious - especially as we litter the table with wrapping paper and a gift exchange over dessert. Harvest has not disappointed us yet! The burgers are always amazing, the Moules Frittes are the best I have ever had, cocktails are delicious and inventive (all except the Pilot which was sent back by 2 of us for being too syrupy), and the duck special was tender and delicious. Bon appetite!

I brought my parents there and we had a seat overlooking the ocean which was so nice. It is such a cool place to go and the bar looks like a lot of fun as well. Have to try that next time! Food and service were very good. An added bonus - the show we were seeing was at Blue Ocean Music Hall which is in same building.

I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server,  was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!

We have become Epoch regulars at Sunday Brunch. Food is always outstanding to complement the ambiance of the dining room. Our visit this week was definitely enhanced by the always charming greeter Chloe who stopped by the table a couple of times to assure we were getting along okay. It was our first time being served by Brendan who we understand most often works as bartender. His enthusiasm and competence shines just as brightly on the floor. The team is overseen on Sunday mornings by Food & Beverage Director Jordan who can always be seen with his sleeves rolled up collaborating with and encouraging his team. We'll be back soon.
