About Saveur
On Tower St in Exmouth, Saveur is a modern European restaurant built around local fish and shellfish on a pedestrianised street. French cuisine informs the kitchen's approach, with market fish dishes alongside plates such as Brixham Monkfish Scampi and Marinated Anchovies. The Asian Cured Chalk Stream Trout pairs local trout with an Asian curing method as one of the menu's distinct offerings, drawn from a list of 45 dishes. A set lunch menu runs alongside the main offering, and homemade bread accompanies meals. Dessert options include homemade sticky toffee pudding, with a cheese selection offered as an alternative. A wine list rounds out the drinks. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Saturday, closed Mondays and Sundays, and reservations are required, with tables noted to fill up.

Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently praise the monkfish scampi and market fish, with the fresh, local seasonal fish and shellfish repeatedly called out alongside the homemade bread. Desserts draw particular attention, from a standout sticky toffee pudding to a scoop of ice cream delivered with a candle for a birthday, and several mention the cheese selection and wine list rounding out the meal. The set lunch is highlighted as good value, with reviewers describing courses that leave them satisfied without feeling stuffed. Service throughout is called welcoming and attentive, and one reviewer notes securing a table on the day despite the restaurant being largely booked up, suggesting reservations are wise. The food is repeatedly described as beautifully presented and full of flavour, with several diners calling it a treat worth the price and already planning return visits. No recurring complaints surface among the reviews.
