Sails Restaurant

Ciaris

This is fine dining at its very best, and in a beautiful location overlooking the River Dart. Chef Malcolm Wybrow cooks all food to order using fresh ingredients and the best Devon meat, fish and seafood. For starters, try the pan fried scallops with smoked bacon, garlic butter and a hint of cream, or the salad of smoked duck and oranges, or one of the many choices of starters and main courses from the specials board - which carries a wide choice of the best of the daily fish catches. For the main course, my daughter had roasted rump of Dartmoor Lamb with a red onion and wine gravy, which was as sweet and tender as you would expect lamb to be; my son enjoyed a traditional Surf n Turf, served with massive king prawns and I had melt in the mouth medallions of Exmoor Venison served with a cranberry and redcurrent compote, perfectly poached pear and parship crisps, which were far superior to anything you can buy. The kids were too full to eat anything but ice cream for dessert, but I couldn't resist the amaretto cheesecake on an amaretto biscuit base, Malcom's own creation. All courses were served by Malcom's wife Karen, a cook in her own right, who was extremely attentive and delighted the kids by calling them "sir" and "madam". We all agreed this was the best meal we had ever tasted. Sails is just to the edge of the centre of town, near Bayard's Cove. Dartmouth is known for its fine food, but Sails has to be among the very top restaurants in the town.

The Hallworth's of Flitwick

A most enjoyable evening spent at Sails. From the moment we walked in the door we were welcomed by a very friendly and effecient staff, to the wonderful and interesting food cooked to a very high standard. Went on the recommendation of friends who live in Brixham and we were not disappointed. 14/4/07
