Exeter - Bon Goût Deli

Bon Goût Deli is a fantastic deli on Magdalen Road.
There's an interesting selection in the fridges, with items like char-grilled aubergines and cured salmon in a honey mustard dill sauce:
There's a good choice of cheeses, for instance they sell  French unpasteurised Brie de Pays and Brie de Meaux, Sharpham Brie (from near Totnes), vegetarian Somerset brie and St Endellion brie (from Cornwall): 
I arrived late in the day midweek, but they still had an interesting selection of pastries:
and cakes (including some gluten free).

Exeter - Gibson's Plaice


Gibson's Plaice is an award winning fishmonger, almost opposite Pipers Farm (see last post).  


There's a wide range of locally caught fish (sourced from Brixham), they aim to buy line-caught and sustainable fish from the smaller day boats where possible.
There's also smoked fish and shell fish.  A nice touch is they offer Exeter's large student population a discount.

Exeter - Pipers Farm

This blog always approves of shops which let you try before you buy!


Earlier in this blog I said that I'd struggled to find good food shops in Exeter.  Well that was before I'd discovered Magdalen Road!  There's a great deli, fishmonger, greengrocer, wine shop and Pipers Farm all in close proximity:
Pipers Farm is listed in the Telegraph's Britain's best delis, markets and farm shops, the Independent's 50 best farm shops, it's won a BBC Best Food Producer award and customers include Michael Caines!
They have their own farm at Cullompton, 10 miles away, and here animal welfare is paramount.  The meat is top quality and attractively displayed:
They also do ready meals, their Ragu Bolognese was an award winner in this year's Great Taste Awards.
