Don't be fooled by its pub guise, this is one of the most accomplished restaurants in Devon, located on the outskirts of Exeter, it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Passionate head chef Matthew Mason, who cut his teeth at Le Manoir and Gidleigh heads the kitchen team (check out Matt's monthly recipes here). This is a quality, well-oiled machine that extols the virtues of top quality local seasonal produce and delivers results at every turn. The wine list alone makes it worth seeking out let alone the 2 AA Rosette cooking or the fact that it is the only pub in Devon to get the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for total quality at great value.

The View is situated on the cliffs of Whitsand Bay on the Rame Peninsular with comanding views out to sea, but close enough to the Torpoint ferry to be accessible for an evening meal if you're coming from the Plymouth area. Run by Matt and Rachel Corner and their friendly team, The View is a superb choice for informal and relaxed high quality dining. Matt -- who has cooked at the highest level for 16 years and used to be head chef at the 3 AA rosette Well House near Liskeard -- jumped at the chance of running his own seafood restaurant. The 32-cover venue is bright and spacious with a light wood and white colour scheme and it offers 'The View' from all tables. Enjoy lunch either inside or out on the al fresco terrace with a great-value daily changing menu that offers lighter or more substantial versions of mussels, scallops or cod. There are also larger mains that feature that day's catch or a meat choice. With everything being made from scratch on the premises and Matt's confident cooking using the best sesasonal, local produce, this is a fabulous choice for superb modern British food that is stylishly presented. At night, the restaurant and its location become extremely atmospheric and you can enjoy an intimate meal from the daily changing menu and a stroll along the cliffs afterwards.Awards | Michelin Bib Gourmand | Good Food Guide 2
