About Spoken
At 43 Strand in Exmouth, Spoken serves Mediterranean plates across a menu of 91 dishes, with tapas covering squid and prawns alongside burgers. On weekends the restaurant runs a bottomless brunch, and a wine selection accompanies meals through the week. The room opens onto an outdoor seating area, and dogs are welcome, with water bowls brought out for them. Doors are open daily, giving diners flexibility on when to visit rather than a fixed sitting. Prawn dishes appear on the regular menu as well as within the tapas selection, giving repeat visitors more than one way to order them.

Customer Review Summary
Tapas emerge as the clear favorite, with reviewers highlighting the squid and prawns as "fantastic" and the spread at a bottomless brunch praised alongside flowing cocktails. Close behind, the wine list and outdoor seating draw regular mention, with several diners describing dog-friendly patio spots as ideal for people watching. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with one describing the manager as especially helpful during a birthday reunion. A recurring caveat surfaces in a couple of reviews: one reviewer found service inattentive and staff "more interested in socialising," pairing this with complaints of poor quality, small servings, and food that wasn't fresh, while another noted the burgers "weren't up to par" even amid an otherwise positive visit. Pricing draws mixed comment too, with one reviewer calling it pricey but worth the money. Diners frequently mention leaving full, with one taking home leftover food they couldn't finish.

“Great little bar and restaurant with outdoor seating. Dog friendly.”
- Ayu Shafira
“Visited recently and had a really nice experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The food was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced, especially compared to other tapas restaurants. There was also a good selection of wines to choose from, which complemented the meal well. Overall, a lovely place with great food, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it.”
