Don't be put off by the dodgy old fashioned decor - the food here is great - we're regulars for their take-away service - the best Chinese food in Mid Devon. Always busy, which tells you a lot in a small market town.
Crown Of Crediton The – CreditonThis is a great English traditional family restaurant with a warm welcome, plenty of space including a lovely conservatory to dine in. The food is straight forward, not trendy, but good wholesome and tasty.
Devonshire Dumpling The – CreditonTarka Trail traffic feeds this quintessentially English tea room with some of the best views in Devon. Excellent selection of sandwiches and home made cakes, all local products and even a good selection of local beers. The only sour note was being turned away for a take away ice cream at 5.00pm by a sour faced teenage boy.
Fremington Quay Restaurant and Cafe – BarnstapleI thought this restaurant was dire! The food was very poor, toilets smelled of smoke, bottles of drink stacked up in a corner on view to the public and, on the whole, the welcome was unfriendly. One of the worst places I have ever eaten in.
Dolphin Restaurant and Takeaway – IlfracombeBeautifully presented, delicious menu. Surroundings in keeping with the Georgian building but with a modern twist. Excellent service. Would recommend this restaurant to discerning diners who enjoy style and good food!
Olive Tree Restaurant – Exeterbloody awful bad meal bad service just BAD
At One Dining Room and Deli – Brauntonplease try miahs the food was delicious staff friendly had 2 children with us they enjoyed it as well dining room lovely and clean as were toilets highly recommended.20th august 2008.
Miahs Indian Restaurant – TorquayA lovely little restaurant, with very friendly owners and really great food. Not pretentious at all, but don’t be off put by this - the welcome is great and the cuisine truly Italian by a Chef Owner who knows and cares. Prepared to do what you want within reason, so if you have a favourite dish try him out - I’m sure he will oblige. Parking in cul-de-sacs opposite off main road - not difficult. Well recommended.
Quo Vadis – PaigntonGreat situation - stunning views over the Bay - good value - friendly staff. Have done a great job in refurbishing this place from a former Cafeteria. Can also sit outside if the weather is right!
Shoreline Bistro – PaigntonFantastic food, excellent service ! I’m dining all over Europe and this is one of the best I’ve ever visited.
Bianco’s Ristorante Italiano – Torquayfantastic service. good simple menu excellently cooked and presented. Best bit was the pint of bitter which was perfect.
Halfway House Inn The – TavistockA truly great British pub, excellent food for the whole family, even the fussiest of friends, awesome choice of whiskies too, well worth a visit, haven't stayed in the bedrooms since they've been renovated but they look good too
Nobody Inn – ExeterHole in the Wall - loved the food, great for Seafood , good A La Carte food & price
Hole In The Wall – Torquaygreat food , lovely fresh produce , a pleasant change to find home cooked great food not bought in run of the mill expensive produce , left me wanting more !!
Linny Inn The – Newton AbbotBrilliant, good food, pleasant atmosphere, very good value for money.
Oriental Touch – TorquaySerious bad attitude from the landlady (won’t serve tap water). Money spent on doing the place up, but now looks like “The Land of Leather”. This place has totally lost its local charm. High prices for average food. Have heard the lamb burgers are good but at £4.50 they would want to be.
The Lamb Inn – ExeterThis is a gem of a restaurant hidden halfway down Fore street and in many ways I am pleased that it is hidden away. I would hate to think I had to miss out on a table as my family all look forward to a night out at the friendly family owned Terrace Tapas Bar on our visits to Ilfracombe. Tapas heaven,authentic dishes served with panache and cooked with care, the regular dishes complimented by alternating specials, the oak smoked chicken in paprika is excellent as are the pinchos with 21 day aged rump, melt in the mouth, foaming chilled draught san miguel , some excellent Spanish wines and the service is exceptional. Well done Mark and Kelly and your great team, you have the special recipe for success, long may you prosper.
The Terrace Tapas & Wine Bar – IlfracombeIf you like an al a carte menu then the Blacksmiths arms is for you. The menu has turned its back on traditional pub food and is becoming more exotic. The prices have also increased recently and the portion sizes seem to have decreased. The service is below average and there can be a wait on food, but if you are happy to order at the bar for food and drinks rather then be waited on and don't mind a wait then visit the black smiths.
Blacksmiths Arms The – TavistockSunday Menu: 2 courses, £31; 3 courses, £39.50.
