For large parties and hen nights, this is a great place to go and suits all ages. Food is good and the staff although they are busy, are very good. Can get very busy around xmas time but with a dancefloor playing classics afterwards, it provides for a very entertaining evening!
Grecian Taverna The – Plymouthstaff here are extremely friendly and helpful. Clean, fantastic decor and generous servings of meals at a average, reasonable cost. would definitely go again
Frankie and Bennys – PlymouthWell what can I say this deli is by far the best in the south west they have a great selection fine cheese cured meets homemade scotch eggs etc in there deli counter also a fab Christmas hamper selection. (Was very nice for my mother Christmas) oh did I mention there excellent selection of freshly grounded coffee yum yum. (try there baby chino) The have very experienced staff that do have great knowledge of the food they sell. It also have a nice atmosphere to sit relax have a coffee, bit to eat and read the daily papers..
Red Earth Deli – Kingsbridgefantastic food with service to match, very happy customers.
Waterside Bistro – Totnesbeen coming here for years . dan and matt are by far the best landlords in the history of the 11a quest for the independent vibe. one minute Hendrix then Dylan mixed in with some Dj Shadow and Nina simone then Leadbelly and stuff that makes you go to the bar and find out who is pulsing from the speakers !!! chilled out to the max upstairs on the 2nd floor too. The pizza's.... oh the Pizza's, i was recommended a classic 12" from a lady whilst in London !!! that's good word of mouth !!
11a Church Street Restaurant and Bar – ExeterHaving visited now about 5 times I love the place the food is excellent each time I’ve tried something different and have not been disappointed with any so try:- fishcakes monkfish and sweet potato thermadore veggie:- mushroom stroganoff field mushroom with??? my mouth waters at the thought The landlady is lovely always remembers us the perfect hostess also the wine is good they can recommend something to suit your taste and they periodically change their wine choices
Beer Engine Pub and Brewery – ExeterPub food at its best, worth a visit.
Williams Arms – BrauntonThis place has under gone a complete transformation and all credit has to go to Phil & Helen, the very friendly owners. The food is of excellent quality, locally sourced (hurrah!) and reasonably priced. The wine list offers really good value and I have to recommend the house wine - it's fantastic. The stunning views over the bay add to the friendly atmosphere - recommended!
Shoreline Bistro – PaigntonOutstanding is an understatement for this fantastic place. My wife treated me to a night out here for my birthday, and from the moment you step through the door you are made to feel welcome by the owner and her great staff, nothing and I mean nothing is too much trouble. The food is nothing short of superb, in portion, very large, and taste, well 7th heaven, do try the scallops and the lobster pure bliss. this is by far the best place we have eaten in for many a year and cannot wait to return in September. Highly recommend to all, but do book in advance. Many Thanks to all at The Poop Deck for a truly great evening, see you soon.
Poopdeck – BrixhamStuart and I ate here last year while on holiday and were very impressed as you can see by our ratings. Everything was of the highest standard and it was delight to have such good food in this area.
The Elephant – TorquayYou can eat ostrich, venison and get your steaks etc. The vegetables are all presented nice and tasty as well. I have put it is pricey, but it depends on what you have, if you have say venison you will pay the going rate for venison. The restaurant is in a small village.
Old Thatch Inn The – ExeterThe Best Meal I've Had In A Long Long Time
Black Dog Inn – CreditonA really relaxed evening which began at the bar on a sumptuous sofa with an elegant glass of wine and ended with the best French tart outside of France. The menu is excellent with the best quality ingredients used. This place is the highlight of our holidays in Devon, a real treat.
La Gendarmerie – IlfracombeA great place to enjoy a large American size plate of excellent food, the staff are so happy and helpful, the jukebox is playing all the classic rock hits and to finish of if you are into cars then keep one eye on the car park.
Route 38 – Plymouthgreat food at last
Kings Arms Inn – ExeterIf there is any place that I would rather go or be taken to for Sunday lunch, it has to be the Rodean. The food is quality, the service so comfy and efficient you do not want to leave, and the price so reasonable you can keep going back. We describe it to friends and to guests of our holiday accommodation as Silver service in your own fine dining room. Take me there any weekend, I am always available!
Rodean – ExeterHaving had the pleasure of more than one outstanding dinner at Ode in Shaldon- the time came for a visit for their week end brunch. Went to see how they fared with a very elderly friend who has trouble eating anything at all...but a smoked salmon omlette ( Holding the chives to save the very delicate tummy ) proved an outstanding sucess, only eclipsed by the fish cake on my own plate..... Freshly squeezed orange juice and a sicilian lemonade set us up for the very hot sun outside, the warmth streaming in through the open front door. Such a refreshing change for a Sunday brunch
ODE Restaurant – TeignmouthPopped in for a quick meal on a Saturday. Followed the recommendation for the ham as it is prepared on site. Really nice dinner, nice people and not expensive. Big portions - chap said jokingly it was to stop us asking for puddings!
Loddiswell Inn – KingsbridgeRoasted topside of beef, Slow-cooked belly pork or Homemade nut roast served with all the trimmings, £16.95.
Sunday Menu: 2 courses, £31; 3 courses, £39.50.
