Maritimo Wine and Tapas Bar in Plymouth

Over a year since our last visit and I’m pleased to say everything is as we remember. Although some staff may have fledged the nest the quality of food and standards of service have not altered. Once again, a beautiful atmosphere accompanied by beautiful food, drink, service and views. Please accept our gratitude in accommodating us once again. I’m so pleased to see the passion is still in abundance. Highly recommended.

Some of the best tapas we’ve ever had, so tasty and flavoursome. Great value for money. Big family evening out which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Great service and atmosphere.

October 13th Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed our food at Maritimo . Top service from the lovely young lady that served us. Food was superb and well prepared/ presented We will be back! David, Liz, Dan and Leane

A wonderful place with a great view and delicious wine!

Cafe good quality, friendly staff.

Brilliant value for food with a friendly and quick service.

We got some nice tapas selection as take away for dinner. It was sooo delicious 😋! Fresh, tasty and good portions also. We had about 7 different tapas in between 2 people and we didn't finished it all. Prices also good considering the location and the view. Loved the authenticity of the food also. The lady that took my order (Stacy I believe) was super nice and helpful and she brought my order upstairs when it was ready -thank you! If it wasn't for us to be with a small baby would definitely eat in. Highly recommend the food !

Fantastic setting, attentive service. Delicious fresh food, served promptly and very well priced. An absoloute gem. Stacie is a star! Would recommend

This art made up my day;) Thanks for the Maritimo team🌟

Great food, great location and first class service. The atmosphere was lovely and we had a great lazy lunch in the sun, looking out over sea. Can’t ask for better on a summers day.

Delicious food, awesome atmosphere,best service especially Goran (best Hugo drinks)thank for everything,see you next time 🤗

Well what can I say !!! Food was absolutely gorgeous, if I'd of closed my eyes I could've been in Barcelona. Fantastic location and very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely fantastic, so accommodating for people with dietary requirements, it was refreshing to have a table full of food that I could actually eat. They went above and beyond, the service and food both excellent!

Brilliant food, friendly service, beautiful place to go in the summer as they have a outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. There's a wide selection of tapas and they cater great for allergens/dietary requirements. One of my favourite places to eat.

Excellent food with a nice view.

If I could give zero stars… I absolutely would. After witnessing and experiencing the complete disregard for customers and younger employees feelings and need by the “superior” employees, I will never be coming back. Food took forever to come out and the incredibly lovely and kind young waitress that was serving us was the only enjoyable part of our experience. What’s embarrassing though is I infact recommended this restaurant to my family for our get together. Disgraceful.

So I've edited my last review based on my revent last 2 visits in May and June 24. They have defo upped their game with the services, and the food is better. We will continue to visit this place, providing the service stays as good. Thank you for listening!!

Arrived with a 9 person party without a booking , quickly accommodated friendly staff members and food was superb very reasonably priced .

Fantastic views and a lovely setting for tapas. Probably better on a sunny day but enjoyed by all inside protected from the wind. Great vegan options.

Nice chips, good service, great location 👍

Food, service and location this place has it all and if your really lucky to get a sunny balcony table the best spot in Plymouth. Karen and the team work incredibly hard behind and in front of the scenes to give an amazing Spanish experience. From the jugs of refreshing cocktails to the plated tapas. I can't speak highly enough when we visited with the whole family. Well done everyone at Maritimos see you all again soon .

Nice view, tasty food & patient, friendly staff.

Brilliant place, fantastic views and location, very popular and busy.

This is a hidden gem in Plymouth. The flavours were incredible and the service was fantastic. Not to mention the uninterrupted views of the Plymouth sound. Maritimos made a gloomy Friday afternoon into a fiesta of flavours

What an amazing venue. Staff are fun, attentive and extremely friendly. Food is served hot and is amazing value for money. A hidden gem.

Lived in rural Spain for many years. I would describe Maritimo as average in terms of authenticity and quality but very reasonable price wise. The croquettas de jamon y queso were the highlight. Tinto verano was fine!

Maritimo is such a wonderful place! It's close to the sea and has a relaxing atmosphere. There are many stylish restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy delicious meals and go shopping.

We just happened upon this place while walking along the hoe. We are so pleased that we did. It was a beautiful sunny Friday lunchtime and we sat outside with the most fantastic views and had a really good cocktail. We order 4 tapas dishes between us and they were so tasty. We could have sat there all day if the sun hadn't decided to go down. The staff were really nice and chatty to. When we return to Plymouth we will return without a doubt

Not really well looked after but the food is good.

Just had another fabulous lunch here. I'm a regular and am never disappointed. The food is beautifully cooked, the service friendly and efficient and the views over Plymouth Sound, Drakes Island and the Breakwater are outstanding.

Overpriced hot chocolate which was tepid, rather than hot.

Best view and best calamari on the south coast.

Our large party of 18 had a lovely Xmas lunch at Maritimos, 3rd year in a row. Everyone commented the food excellent (compliments to the chef), service efficient...girls were so friendly.. and a fantastic view! Everyone had a great time. Thanks especially to Karen for making the organisation so easy for me. Have a lovely Christmas 🎁🌲❄️⛄

Had an enjoyable meal but thought expensive for what got. Food was good and hit. Also we were by window which seemed to allow in draughts. Staff very friendly.

Great meal . Lovely night out with friends.

Good food . Lovely night out with friends. Will definitely come again next time I'm in Plymouth...

Don't normally leave reviews, but wow this place deserves one. Visited on Tues 21st eve, and was not disappointed. Catered for brilliantly, best of the best waiter and waitress. Food simply superb. Will come again if we visit. Thanks

My first visit and I must say that this place is a little gem. Everything we ordered was stunning and the staff made us feel really welcome. Love it

Delicious food, lovely staff and a beautiful view! Will be our new go to place when we're on Plymouth

Hidden away but lovely when you discover it. Never been here incredibly, feel guilty and silly for not been before. Cracking atmosphere and although we went for evening dinner, probably outstanding for coffee out on the balcony as well. Stunning food! Absolutely delicious. We tried 5 or 6 small tapas dishes with two amazing deserts. Washed down with Spanish beer and coffee to finish. Food quality was excellent . Very tasty and beautifully presented. Polite staff who did not rush us. Spanish music and decor to top off a wonderful birthday dinner. We will definitely return. Still can’t believe we haven’t been before!

Fabulous lunch today with my lovely friends. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

the worst service I have ever encountered, slow and clumsy, we waited a very long time for one beer and a latte which spilled on the table, with not a lot of customers, the place needs renovation, terribly run down, good thing we didn't eat ;)

Friends found this place and took us to it. What can I say but from the start to finish it was amazing . Staff very friendly and excellent service who didn't mind a bitof banter Food was fab especially the prawns and sea bream . It was so nice not to be rushed and sit eat drink and chill with friends overlooking the sea .we will defo return . Thank you for a chilled afternoon

Will not recommend this please to any one. The service was really good but shame about the quality of the food.

Group of 4 went. Really good food, we had sangria as well and then churros for dessert. Would recommend and cool view watching the ships

Meal for 9 celebrating my son's graduation and those of 2 of his friends. Absolutely brilliant! Food was fabulous, service attentive and excellent value for money. Can't wait to return!

Called in for a coffee and decided beers and tapas looked so good it would have been rude not to try! Fabulous! 5 star food!

Same day booking on a busy Plymouth Saturday should have been a red flag however after a recommendation from a colleague we were delighted to find a slot on Saturday evening to suit our schedule. Upon arrival we were greeted by a young waiter who commented he would have helped with the buggy we had after coming down 2 flights of stairs. We were promptly seated and our drinks order taken. My Wife and I were recommended to pick 2-3 tapas each. We choose 3 each. Starting with the good the Prawns were excellent very fresh with a hint of chilli as promised on the menu. From this point onward food wasnt great. Pan Con Tomate was bland and almost watery tasting. Patatas bravas were covered in the same bland tomato sauce and the potatoes tasted of tainted cooking oil. They were served with alioli this came smartly presented ina paper dish, the same ones you fill with ketchup in McDonalds. The Croquettes were hot and ok. The garlic mushrooms were fine. Now Paella… first for me on this one, obviously the saffron delivery hadnt made its way to the restaurant so the clever chef not wanting disappoint the masses with white rice substituted this with which was very evidently turmeric. Indian Paella not for me… moving on from the below par food offering. Our 7 month old inconveniently it seems needed a nappy change during dinner. After approaching the young waiter we were informed there were no facilities for this to which I replied what do you suggest I do witha grumpy (stinky) baby? His answer, I can clear a shelf in the stock room. Now as a newby father I can say changing facilities ratings is new to me however confidently can say changing a baby on a stock room shelf is by far the worst experience to date for baby change. Fortunately I managed to catch each of the glass bottles of cider my 7 month tried to grab and topple whilst being interrupted by a waitress wondering why a Dad and Baby were in a stock cupboard. Absolutely no apology offered for any of this when presenting the bill nor any offer of helping back upstairs with the buggy. So many good places in Plymouth to eat that I wouldnt even bother looking here.

Just walking round the Hoe last night & dropped in. No booking just a spur of the moment thing. Maritimo will now be on my list to visit on future visits to Plymouth.We ate inside but had a fantastic view into Plymouth Sound. Good menu with lots of choices & I will be more adventurous next time! The staff were attentive & not intrusive. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Service was excellent. Food was excellent & tasty. The only down side was 2 couples from that there London (Northolt) loudly talking about their metropolitan lives & worries (ULEZ & retirement! This did not detract from an excellent evening. I would recommend Maritimo to everyone but then it would be too popular for me to get in! A hidden gem tucked away, overlooking the sea

Despite the slightly overcast weather, our afternoon was brightened up by the friendly and attentive staff. All Tapas were lovely but the chorizo, jamon y queso and seabass were our favourites ( as well as the curros with a lovely chocolate sauce and we mustn'tforget tje beautiful Sangria). We will definitely come again. Thank you Maritimo Alan & Rosie

Spent the afternoon here, largely served by Benny who was friendly and up for a laugh! Great food, lovely setting. Would recommend!

A nice place to have tapas and drinks. A good selection of food and drinks. Nice view too. Friendly waitresses who are very attentive

Good tapas, great location. Friendly service and had a half dozen plates including fresh grilled sardines.

Absolutely fabulous. Excellent food and service. Tapas how it should be served, relaxed and nothing too much trouble despite being fully booked. Fabulous views right on the water front. We eat lots of tapas and this was the best. Thanks again

We dropped in on the spur of the moment having meant to go here for a while. We were not at all disappointed, as the food was absolutely delicious, and the service friendly and considerate. We had a selection of Tapas, with a great vegetarian/vegan...

The only place I have ever been where I have asked for money to be deducted from the bill. We gave a cash tip to the waiter serving us because as far as we were concerned they done there job very well, the same can...

This secluded restaurant has wonderful views across Plymouth Sound, the staff are friendly and efficient. The food is excellent and freshly cooked to order. Lots for the vegans and vegetarians amongst us. We had the charcuterie platter together with chorizo in honey glaze and ham...

Loved everything about this place. Awesome food and wine with discreet but great service

We came by looking for a glass of wine. And discover this restaurant. We stayed for food and lovely wine. The food was lovely. We sat outside and enjoyed our time. Will return for sure.

every time I have been here has been great. Yesterday the service was stellar and the dessert was delicious and well presented. Their tapas is also excellent and the view unbeatable. The only waterfront restaurant you need to visit. Other restaurants in the area seem to fall short on service, hygiene or food quality because they ride on the success of having a great location. Not Maritimo.

Maritimo is a Spanish Tapas Restaurant overlooking Plymouth Hoe, one of the best ocean views in the world. I was looking for a venue to host a number of business people for food and drink. From the minute I made the online enquiry to their...

I really enjoyed my visit here because our waitress Casey was so wonderful. She took great care of us, was super knowledgeable and funny. I would absolutely visit again to be served by her! the food was good but service was great.

We have been going to Maritimos for years and recommended it to loads of people. But our recent trip was disappointing. The food was good but the service was not. Whilst everybody else received their food I waited and waited for mine. I asked the...

So how can a restaurant be empty when you arrive and you ask for a table they tell you that it’s fully booked ?? Ok you walk away and have a drink elsewhere then walk past 2 hrs later and it’s still empty ?? 🧐...

Sea view and terrace is ultimately the selling point! Food massively let's things down. People would be raving about this place if the dishes tasted fresher and more authentic. Felt very much a British take on tapas and not a great one at that. Food quality was so so. A real shame as it's the perfect spot for dinner - sadly we wouldn't recommend it.

Enjoyed a sunny Sunday evening here! Lived up to expectations. It was busy & therefore a short wait for food & drinks menus however service overall was attentive, friendly & the staff were extremely hard working & willing! Fantastic delicious food, we loved that it didn't all arrive at once...that's how it should be and is how it is when you have tapas abroad! It comes out as and when it's ready. Excellent value for money and overall a lovely experience.

Lecker, aber patatas sollten nicht so weich sein!

Came here on a recommend for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour leisurely lunch, served by the friendly and helpful Jess who had such knowledge of each of the dishes and was able to offer suggestions. We had the Spanish meats, cheese,...

Great tapas, very well cooked, fresh and tasty. Good service and the most fabulous views over the sea. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious tapas as good as you’d get in say;Madrid,Majorca and Costa del Sol or in any ‘UK Tapas Bar’ and great spanish wines n lovely and quick service. If you visit Plymouth then eat here 👍😋

Great evening for my Birthday. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Will go again.

We’d long been looking forward to visiting after many recommendations from friends, and it definitely didn’t disappoint- food was quick and incredibly good! The tapas was as good as I’ve had anywhere in Spain and the service was excellent. Looking forward to coming back in...

As a family we have been visiting Maritimo for four years. Visited in May of 2019 and had poor service and poor quality food. Spoke to the owner who assured if we visited again he would ensure it was perfect. Not the case, revisited 25th of August 2019 and it was even worse. When I spoke to the manageress she assured me that the feedback was welcome but it didn't affect the business so she didn't care. I WILL NOT BE REVISITING. Shame, the premises are in a perfect spot but service is now shocking.

If you love tapes, try here, lovely staff, excellent food, brilliant view

Went there over the Christmas with our son from LA. 5 of us. Was pleasantly surprised. Lovely food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Fair priced. Will definitely go back. Strongly recommend it to others

Went today for lunch with my friend first time for me and it certainly won't be the last. We enjoyed a selection of dishes that were cooked perfectly the service was fabulous and of course the view. Thankyou will see you again soon my new favourite place.

Great place, service was lovely and the food was excellent. Great choice of wine. Its worth a visit.

We visited Maritimo for my birthday last night. I phoned in advance as I was not sure what time we would arrive and they were very accommodating. We arrived early and were greeted with a warm welcome. The food was not particularly speedy at arriving...

Enjoyed the staff and the tapas were excellent.

Booked for a meal with family prior to my wife's graduation. Having read the reviews, I diced to try although the reviews were mixed. The service was excellent and the food really good. We had a perfect spot on the balcony and the views were...

Fantastic.What a wonderful meal.This was for 8 of us on a Sunday lunchtime for my son's engagement.The whole experience was lovely.The food was perfect came out in time and the staff were so helpful and friendly.Couldnt of asked for a better meal and service for...

We always love Maritimo. Rain or shine. Great staff too

Lovely tapas food and generous portions aswell. Staff for helpful and friendly. Thank you.

Five of us shared several tapas dishes and we all enjoyed them. I particularly enjoyed the calamari. The churros was a little heavy and gooey for my liking. I would eat there again.

All too often places like this with awesome views don’t have food and service to match. Not this one, excellent food, reasonably priced and great service. Very impressed. Will be one of our go to Plymouth eateries. Well done Maritimo!

Love this place. Far more filling that you would realise but can't help but eat it all no matter how full you feel as it's so delicious. 241 cocktails during the week. Gorgeous views out over Plymouth sound whatever the weather is doing. Good value for money, great chilled atmosphere.

Lunch at Maritino was excellent. Authentic Spanish tapas which were probably the best we have ever had in the UK. A hidden gem highly recommended.

Having tried pier one... 100yards up the road and being thoroughly disappointed and upset I didn't hold out much hope... But If I could give it 10 stars i would. Beautiful food Amazing scenic location Good value for money. Gf menu available 2-4-1 on cocktails...

Didn’t book but fitted in before they got busy. Seating outside & in but we wanted inside so had a seat by the window- Overlooking the sea. Very nice. Music playing cold lager- almost like we was in Spain! Lol Food was great! Lots of...

Disappointed- we went as a family of eight to celebrate a birthday. We arrived at 12 and the whole of the outside terrace was empty, indoors was empty too, but they were expecting a few bookings inside. (You can’t prebook outside) They only had tables...

Food is great - atmosphere is even better. Heard the sangria is sublime - but haven't tried it yet. Honestly, the beautiful view makes everything taste even better. Go down to the lower level.

The two of us had a lovely lunch, service was good, shared 6 veggie dishes which were all delicious. It was pleasant sitting on the Terrance looking out at the sea.

We had a gorgeous lunch the best sea bass I have had for a while excellent king prawns and other super tapas dishes all served hot and quickly a very enjoyable meal will definitely recommend thank you

Food was very good but the interior and service could do with some real improvements. Found it difficult, even in the small place, to reorder drinks. Some first drinks came after some food plates arrived. No cutlery supplied and had to be asked for. Great view, however!

Second time I've popped in to Maritimo, first was dinner with a group of friends and today was for some lunch with my wife. Both times have been lovely, the tapas is delicious and the views are amazing over the sound when the weather's good too. Staff were friendly and attentive and I'll be back again soon!

We went on an unseasonably damp and cold July day for an early afternoon late lunch. The service was great. The food took a little while to arrive, but that’s because it’s real food freshly and beautifully cooked. If you want your food to be...

Mine and my partner's favourite place to go for food. Always have the best time when we visit. All the staff are so friendly, the food is absolutely incredible. Could not recommend enough.

Lovely food and staff with a great view

Fabulous food, with an amazing view. Well worth a visit
