The Bay exudes sophisticated seaside dining, from the adult yet relaxed ambiance of the stylish dining room to the professional waiting staff. The food well deserves its two rosette status with chefs Ben and Katie confidently transferring their passion for local, seasonal British cuisine onto the plates that come out. The wine list offers some perfect matches to the daily changing menus and there is a choice of halves, all served correctly.

Oliva is a beautiful Mediterranean restaurant located in the pretty port of Topsham, just outside Exeter city centre. It's family run by the Golders with head chef Tim having returned from working in great kitchens in Spain to bring a slice of the Med to Topsham. Oliva was winner of Devon Life Restaurant of The Year 2007 for good reason as Tim uses the best local produce for the base of the seafood, paellas and tapas dishes. The tapas are done properly here with authentic recipes and presentation; take for example the Pan fried rabbit in a sherry cream sauce or Gambas con ajo y chorizo. The restaurant itself is bright and bold with a large conservatory dining room and an outside garden and terrace suntrap. Tuesdays see Paella night and Thursdays Tapas night.
