About
The Octagon
Welcome to The Octagon, a delightful culinary gem nestled along the stunning Exmouth seafront at The Esplanade, EX8 2AZ, United Kingdom. With its breathtaking beach views and an inviting atmosphere, it's no wonder that both locals and visitors alike flock here, seeking an exceptional dining experience.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I can assure you that The Octagon stands out not just for its picturesque location, but also for its remarkable menu that caters to diverse palates. Whether you’re looking to savor a leisurely breakfast or enjoy a sumptuous dinner, each dish here tells a story of quality and creativity.
During a recent visit, I was captivated by the vibrant breakfast offerings. While some guests noted preferences for poached eggs with a bit more runniness, the overall sentiment echoed the joy of shared meals. The welcoming staff ensured a relaxing environment, allowing patrons to linger over coffee and conversation—a true testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Moving to lunch and dinner, I found that the culinary flair truly shines. Diners rave about the thin crust pizzas, known for their perfectly cooked bases and thoughtfully selected toppings. For seafood aficionados, the seafood tagliatelle is a must-try—its freshness and flavors promise to transport your taste buds straight to the ocean. The inclusion of options like juicy steaks and beautiful flatbreads rounds out the experience, making it a perfect stop for any gathering.
To top it all off, the exceptional service is a highlight worth noting. Reflecting the comments of many patrons, the staff at The Octagon are genuinely friendly and attentive, ensuring your needs are always met without rushing you to leave—a rare find in bustling dining venues.
If you're ever in Exmouth, I highly recommend making The Octagon a part of your culinary journey. It's not just a meal; it's a memorable experience. Be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment, especially during peak seasons. With every visit promising delightful dishes and a warm atmosphere, The Octagon is definitely a place you’ll want to return to.

“ Booked for breakfast and a meet up with a few of my girl friends this morning! Food was delicious, although two of us commented that the poached eggs could have been a little more runny , it’s a difficult one to please everyone! We all had different things and a coffee and tea with and to follow. Our table had two hours and although they were busy the staff weren’t showing any signs of wanting us to leave even though we had finished our meal which was lovely and still had a lot to catch up on. Over all a lovely experience with welcoming staff Safe to say we’ll be back x ”

“ Amazing how much they've been able to pack into a small space. Great service and excellent food and drinks. We've visited three times now and still working through the menu, distracted just a bit by the regularly changing specials. Highly recommended are the pizzas which are thin crust, well cooked and have well selected toppings options. Fish dishes are fresh and tasty - especially the seafood tagliatelle. ”
“ We (a party of four) had an amazing evening being spoiled and treated to delicious food at the Octagon on the Exmouth seafront. Starters, Mains and desserts for all 4. Not a single complaint. Seafood, Steak, Flatbreads and a selection of desserts. The staff were genuinely friendly, professional and ensured all our needs were met. This is a definite MUST for any dining experience when in Exmouth. Advance booking strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. ”
