Simply stunning is all i can say. My husband and I went here for our anniversary and had the guinea fowl and the steak, which was the best beef i have ever tasted. The menu was imaginative, and the service was impeccable; very efficient and friendly. We had the three courses for £33.95, which was very reasonable, and very filling. No tiny portions here!
La Petite Maison – TopshamI am very disappointed by this pub. From the website and from the outside it looks so promising.The main problem seems to be the landlady who treats her customers with contempt as much as anything else. If the front of house is not okay then don't expect a decent drink and fine food. It won't happen.
Dolphin Inn The – KingsbridgeTruly exceptional - I cannot praise the quality and presentation enough - here is Master Chef at work using the finest locally sourced ingredients to produce quite outstanding results. A real treat not to be missed - any connoisseur of good food will love it. Come and enjoy - I certainly did!!
ODE Restaurant – TeignmouthA very traditional style Restaurant in the heart of the town, this restaurant has hardly changed in the 20 plus years I have known it. The menu is wide offers good value and is as you might expect if you are looking for this type of eatery. The service is friendly and prompt and in the summer it is pleasant to sit outside under an awning (traffic free area) watching the world go by - we've been in the evening and been well entertained!
Pickwick Restaurant – TeignmouthMy favourite place in the world almost - well certainly for Sunday Lunch - I have never been disappointed, nor have those I have taken there. Featured in films, this lovely Georgian house is on the way from Marldon to Ipplepen about three miles inland from the sea and a mile or so off the Torbay Ring Road. The owners are very welcoming, the food excellent home cooking and the value is superb. Also great for evenings when open with a drink on the terrace overlooking the romantic setting of Compton Castle first. They also do scrumptious cream teas I'm told but have never had one.
Castle Barton – PaigntonTake away was rubbish, did not match advert in magazine thought i was at wrong restaurant, had English chef cooking the dishes not very Indian at all!!!
Spice Well – Plymouthvery nice place everything is faultless. I would recommend
The Treasury Bar Restaurant – PlymouthMy husband & I visited the Seahorse on 13th August, he had booked the table as a surprise for me and I'm glad he did! We had not been having a good week and went expecting something to go wrong, however we needn't have worried !The setting, service etc were all perfect. We both had fish dishes for the main course which were outstanding in both flavour and freshness. Desserts and cheese were lovely as well. We hope to go back soon!
The Seahorse Restaurant – DartmouthThis is very much a local village pub, with a warm welcome by all to visitors. Quiet during the day, lively most evenings, popular with locals. Dogs are welcomed. The food is unexpected in this part of Devon - stylish, modern and tasty at reasonable prices. Big log fires in winter. Parking can be tricky - worth parking in the Parish Hall car park and walking down to the small village square.
Lamb Inn The – CreditonDon'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 – CreditonI 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 – IlfracombeTarka 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 – BarnstapleBeautifully 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 – PaigntonSunday Menu: 2 courses, £31; 3 courses, £39.50.
