Over the past three years of living in Exeter, I've been so lucky to have had the chance to experience some really lovely cafes, catering for so many different types of people. If you've read my 'about' page, you'll know that I've been pescetarian for almost nine years now (I eat fish, but not meat). This means that, more often than not, I'll dine from the vegetarian section of the menu - something which truly bemuses my housemate's boyfriend considering that Nando's is my favourite place to eat out (my go-to order is the beanie wrap, lemon and herb spicing with added halloumi and sweet potato wedges - trust me on this one).

Although vegetarian menus can often be quite limiting, Exeter's done well to branch out and has a wide range of options - from full-on meat restaurants to more obliging places with larger menus, and even a few veggie-only cafes. Nevertheless, I was absolutely thrilled when Rabbit opened in Exeter last year - an entirely plant-based, vegan cafe.

Rabbit, located on Well Street, is what I like to think of as the "sister shop" to Seasons, a vegan convenience store two doors down. Owned by the same family, as a result of Seasons' success, they decided to open up a cafe alongside the store in order to cater to a wider range of customers, demonstrating to people how vegan food isn't just all about salads - in fact, it can be pretty darn delicious.

Now, I must admit - it took me almost a year before I got round to making my debut trip to Rabbit (busy student life and all that), but believe me when I tell you that it was worth the wait. With an extensive menu, split between 'virtue' (healthier options) and 'vice' (what I like to call "vegan junk food"), as well as a range of homemade desserts and vegan drinks, I was absolutely spoiled for choice.

After a good ten minutes spent deliberating between the deluxe cheezeburger and the tofu dog, I eventually opted for the cheezeburger (partly because my friend Ashton did the same, and in that situation I always go for what the other person's having so there's no chance of food-envy.

And no food-envy there was, because let me tell you - this cheezeburger was absolutely AMAZING. Never have I had such an incredible burger, and to think that it was all entirely vegan as well was beyond me. Served with a side salad (and you get to choose your own dressing) and crisps of outstanding quality, the burger itself was described as a 'protein-rich seitan burger'. I'd never had a seitan burger before (after a quick Google I've only just found out that seitan is a type of wheat gluten), but it did not disappoint. I've always preferred burgers that are pretending to be meat as opposed to burgers made up of beans or veggies, so this went down an absolute treat. Sandwiched in with cheeze, onion, lettucce, relish and mayo, I would go back to Rabbit in an instant for another one of these bad boys.

After lunch I treated myself to a cheeky hot chocolate - again, all entirely vegan, of course. Complete with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, marshmallows and even Lotus biscuits, this really was the hot chocolate of dreams. The waiter had actually forgotten about my order until I gently reminded him (he was one of my friends, so it wasn't too awkward - usually I hate those situations), so he made it extra 'deluxe' in consolation, which was the sweetest touch.

Something I really loved about Rabbit was that the place had the friendliest vibe, and you can tell that everyone who works there really cares about serving good quality vegan food. There were vegan flyers and magazines on the counter-tops, and the waiters were happy to chat about their vegan lifestyles and make recommendations for their favourite items on the menu. Unfortunately, after my cheezeburger and hot chocolate I was way too full for cake, but if it's as good as it looks I can assure you it's fantastic (check them out on Instagram at @rabbitvegancafe to get a closer look).

All in all, I'd recommend this place to herbivores and carnivores alike. Whether you're interested in the vegan lifestyle or just out for lunch with friends, Rabbit has something for everyone, and at a fairly reasonable price, too. Definitely check it out, and you may even see me there - I've still got to go back for that tofu dog, after all.
