Reflections Bistro in Teignbridge

What a lovely place first time in here but definitely will not be the last breakfast was really good and a good price coffee was good also would definitely recommend

Wanted a lunch as on holiday seen here so went in ,plenty of space. Ordered food and drink didn't wait to long. Staff was polite seemed busy. Had ham egg chips was ok I didn't really like chips felt like burnt. My mum had ploughman's which was nice she said.

Really enjoyed lunch there, I had the sausage and mash and my wife had lasagna and we were both pleased. The waitress was very nice friendly and professional.

Friendly Clean good food. Piped music poor , need some music for the older customers 60 70 80s music would be great .

We received a warm welcome on arrival from the young lady behind the counter. Menu was varied with options for meals and lighter lunch snacks. We opted for the Calamari and the Gammon and tomato sandwich. Both were well prepared and tasted lovely. Bistro has a lovely vibe and great decor

Very nice tapas available on the autumn menu, good choice of dishes, very tasty 😋 Friendly & welcoming 👍🏻

Lovely impromptu meal. Very nice. Waitress was very welcoming. The pie was delicous as was hubbies liver bacon and onions. But sorry he said mine was better 😘

We came in for luncheon one day had a lovely luncheon the food was absolutely lovely we all enjoyed our food very much. The service was great and its a lovely cosy restaurant. So we came back next day for luncheon again and again lovely food and service plus we had to have dessert. We certainly recommend going.

We have been visiting Dawlish on holidays for over 30 years and today we went into Reflections bistro to look at their menu. We were met with a smile and ordered our food. Their Sunday roast was fantastic. Hot, lovely beef and pork. The roast potatoes were lovely and the vegetables lovely and fresh. The Yorkshire pudding was great too. We were so pleased with the dinner we then decided to check out their own home made deserts fleshly made by the lady chef. All in all a wonderful experience which we will revisit again. My wife and I highly recommend this restaurant to dine in. Well done ladies and staff of Reflections Dawlish. Phil and Helen Buckley Cheshire

We were visiting Dawlish for a few days and had walked past Reflections earlier in the day. We liked the menu so went back in the evening. We were greeted by a lovely girl and shown to a table, ordered drinks which she brought promptly. Husband had the steak and I had sea bass. The bass was cooked perfectly with no overpowering sauces and there was plenty of it. Husband's steak was exactly as he asked for it. The mashed potato was incredible - I love mash but many places leave it lumpy or you can tell it's powdered but this was neither, it was heavenly. The girl serving was so friendly, she didn't hover but was attentive and they had a great soundtrack playing. We don't normally but, because they had lemon meringue pie, we had dessert and it was delicious The whole experience was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. We both would highly recommend eating at Reflections when you are in Dawlish, you will not be disappointed.

This is the first time we have been here and we will definitely be going back, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful 👌

Went in for dinner and certainly was not disappointed. The place was very clean and welcoming and we were served by a lady called Scarlett who was very pleasant all evening. I had the Pork and my wife had the Chicken which were both cooked from fresh,all I can say is there were two very clean plates by the end of the meal. We also went there again two days later and this time I had the steak and my wife had the Thai curry and again two clean plates were left, my wife had to stop me from licking the plate on this occasion. Also on offer was a large array of home-made desserts. We could not fault anything at all with this place and would highly recommend it and we saw certainly return when visiting Dawlish again.

Nice cafe. Extensive menu. Food was good and friendly staff.

Stopped by here for a quick bite on Thursday afternoon. Ordered a panini & a BLT. The waitress who took our order was lovely, but our food took approximately 40 minutes to arrive & was astonishingly bad, ingredients weren't fresh, salad was old & wilted. Atmosphere is a bit dreary, wouldn't't recommend.

Maria was a great host. I had the Sunday roast and my partner had the thai curry. OMG both was amazing. If you are there go and try it, you will not be disappointed.

Food was good, coffee was excellent, staff friendly

Flat out the best food I have eaten all weekend, Maria is an amazing host the food is out of this world, could not stop eating it 😋

Random find but the BEST. Comfortable and calm environment and wonderful food. Not a massive menu and British focussed. Baked Camembert was huge, tasty and rich and the calamari cooked perfectly. Mains we had liver and bacon and swordfish steak. Both were fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked. Too full to have desserts but they too looked great. Surprised this little restaurant wasn’t more busy. Prices were mid range £80 for 2 courses for 2 people. Friendly service too. My only improvement would be too get a colder wine fridge/chiller. Definitely will be returning. Highly recommended.

Excellent toasted tea cake, butter and jam. Good coffee and tea. Friendly staff. Good decor and atmosphere.

The décor isn’t impressive but don't be fooled; the food is wonderful. We went on a Friday evening when, as on Saturdays, they do a full à la carte menu. My wife had a Thai vegetable curry which she rated excellent. I had pork loin with apple and cider sauce, which was outside my range of superlatives. I had it with sauté potatoes and fresh vegetables, which completed a perfect dish. We both followed with delightful lemon meringue pie, and I stole my wife's clotted cream (for her own good, if course). The Doom Bar beer was just right, too. A meal to remember.

Would give more stars if possible 👍🌟Amazing food Amazing service and an amazing atmosphere 👌definitely reccomend but best to find out for yourselves 😃

Absolutely amazing meal 👌the food ,the service and the atmosphere were all top quality definitely reccomend, but visit and see for yourselves 👌

Food was greasy, uncooked peas and warmed up burned chips all on the same plate! I don’t think I’ve attempted to eat such an awful tasteless meal! Absolutely awful! We won’t returning!

Lunch was disappointing, chips were dark brown, too well done, tasted awful like old oil used, macaroni cheese x 2 no cheese taste, very plain, no topping, bread stale, salad nice and fresh, service was fine, pleasant staff, wouldn't go back in a hurry!

Lovely Restaurant. I had a chicken panang curry curry and it was delicious.. Various meals. Panini's jacket potatoes. Various desserts £6.99 each. Children's menu.. Cream Teas..Hot and cold beverages.. Toilets .. Greek evenings with music entertainment. Recommend this place

Very pleased with service and excellent food, shall return very soon. Staff very obliging.

What a great bistro, amazing food and drinks, great service. I would recommend this Bistro to everyone, come to Dawlish and visit Reflections Bistro.

Great food great service have used before still really good

Been numerous times in the past and only ever had excellent meals. Sunday dinner is brilliant and excellent value. We have had chicken , pork and beef in the past and all have been tasty. We have also tried steak and the lasagne also looks good. Breakfast is very tasty. All meals are brilliant value and the staff are friendly and polite. Will definitely visit again.

Very nice bistro...bit of a wait for food as they were short staffed but we were warned when ordering and kept up to date throughout and food was lovely

It is not often that I am rendered speechless by a meal, however, on this occasion I have been. Reflections Bistro is by far the best cafe / restaurant I have vis to date. The service was amazing, the food exquisite, and the price incredibly fair.

Lovely food . Staff friendly and Excellent service

Great service, great food, thanks very much will definitely visit again

After reading these great reviews, i thought we would try it. Quite stuffy you could do with cracking open a window, sorry to say, but it smells like a nursing home with no air. There was a puddle of grease on the plate. Breakfast wasn't very nice . The lasagna was lovely, but it could do with some salad served with it. We wouldn't go back, unfortunately it wasn't a great experience.

The staff here are just wonderful, can't rate them highly enough! Drinks are delicious and the toasted teacakes are fantastic! The decor is perhaps a bit "of a time" but don't let this deter you, it sort of becomes part of its charm! (They also have a little booster seat for toddlers which is excellent 👌)

Very busy not enough staff we both had chips mine were white and cold my husbands were burnt, very disappointing

An amazing bistro staff are extremely friendly the food couldn't be better had a lasagne from here and it was incredible. Highly recommend if you ever visit Dawlish

Lovely food very nice plesant staff & service lovely nice chilled & relaxed atmosphere the staff take your order at your table & payment if not paying by card but there's no bother in having to walk 20ft to pay your bill by card i believe now that you can now pay at your table as they can move the little payment box can be brought to your table but i do like to get an excellent fry up you can get 1 all day but its ace to sit down at the front & order an excellent fry up & a latte round about brunch time either on your own or better still you & a good friend on an end of the week at brunch time & chat through the week that wev'e had all in all a wonderful place to have brunch nice cafè & your done unless you've got room for a lovely pudding please just try the place i think you will be very happy with your choice if not please don't shoot the messenger I TRULY LIKE THE PLACE & SHALL KEEP USING IT & to the ladies who mainly run the place many many thanks for all the good times iv'e, had i honestly have'nt had a bad occasion there not 1 so thank you very very much & i'll see you this week sometime xx

Good food, extremely helpful staff. When nothing on lunch menu was good for me to to allergies, they went the extra mile and prepared me something from the evening menu - the sea bass was delicious.

Always welcoming. Good tasting food.

Nice meal. Quality has dropped a bit. Meal not trimmed/presented as well.

Went to Dawlish on New Year Day for a walk. Most coffee shops were closed but luckily this was open.A friendly warm welcome and as we only wanted cappuccino we sat in bucket seats near the entrance. The cappuccino was very good and value at £2.5 for a small and £3 for large. There was a continuous procession of people coming in as again it was the only venue available. Well done Reflections.

We have eaten at this place every time we’ve returned to Dawlish for past 5 years (3-4 times a year) every single meal we’ve had breakfast, lunch to dinner has been spot on. Home cooked food, good prices and a lovely atmosphere. We have two young children with us and as parents know it can be a worry how loud they get but they made an effort with them and told us not to worry as they have grandchildren. Highly recommend this place!!! Well done

Very accommodating to find a table for three people during busy lunchtime. Service was prompt. Food and drink lovely

Food was plain, small and no flavour. Service was nice, but it's a place where you take your granny for a no fuss simple plain traditional lunch. Will not return

I eat here regularly, and am always pleased with everything. The food is always of consistently high standard, as are the drinks. Nice coffees with different milk options. The staff are all friendly, helpful and understanding, and the owner is exceptional. Customer service top notch. Would recommend this place to everyone. Best place to eat and drink in Dawlish.

We stopped here for lunch. My son is allergic to fish so that ruled out the chippys in the town. However we were not disappointed to call in here. The food was delicious! Even for my fussy child!! The whole family absolutely loved the food! Staff were brilliant too, so helpful and friendly! Would definitely hurry back!

Absolutely amazing food, super delicious roast dinner. Highly recommended, treat yourself !

Excellent food generous portion lovely place to eat great service & hygiene. Would highly recommend the Sunday roast

We ate here Wednesday had amazing service however we went there again today, 29 September and a member of staff female, dark hair in a plait nodded to us to take a table. We then waited, she came out and served a table with teas and coffee and then leant across to a guy who had come in after us, and served him, she ignored us and then went and served a table of 6 builders who again came in after us, again ignoring us. At this point we got up and walked out. Be aware, It would appear if you are local you get priority service over non locals. Such a shame as our first experience was amazing, this has truly let your cafe down. If I could have given 0 stars I would have.

Cannot say enough nice things about The food and the atmosphere, and especially the service! Maria and Linda are fantastic!!! Thank you for making my first full English experience amazing!!!!

It was very busy when we went and the staff where brilliant very welcoming and friendly could not do enough for us. Nice to have a proper bacon butter on proper thick bread well worth the money will certainly be in again and would recommend. Thanks to all the staff for a great experience.

Calamari Perfect. Delicious chicken meal. Lovely casual atmosphere. Service was faultless. Will certainly make a habit of eating here.

Always very nice staff with amazing service. The food is amazing quality and value for money if in dawlish worth a visit even if it's just for coffee.

We as a family go to Dawlish every year and found this restaurant and I fell in love with the homemade pie. They were very popular as we were told we should reserve them which we did before coming down for our holiday. This year we were all looking forward to our meal of course the adults all ordered the pie. But we noticed something missing this year, we were brought our plates with the pie and mash and wondered where the vegetables were. We were told no vegetables are with this meal yet there always was before. The pie was again lovely but the mash had hard undercooked lumps in it. We were ready for desert but half were now missing and it was virtually just cake from a glass unit. Ok so we ordered different slices of cake for all of us and it was all dry and stale. Coming to this restaurant was one of the highlights of our holiday and we were left disappointed. The two stars of for the pie and staff but I'm afraid the restaurant has lost my customer I can only think it has changed hands but not for the better it used to have high standards

Had a lovely lunch here is Dawlish. Had a lovely Tuna Mayo Jacket Potatoes. Lovely view with park over the road. Staff really friendly and helpful.

Having read some of these reviews these people can not be eating at the same place I’m at. This being my third visit I have received nothing but polite staff attention and excellent food. It is a small understated gem and we will certainly return to enjoy their menu again.

Just had a delicious Sunday roast lamb dinner in Reflections. All beautifully cooked and served. Very reasonable prices too! Thank you to all the staff,

Found this lovely place when visiting Dawlish. Food was lovely staff were very friendly and helpful. If I lived here, it would be somewhere I would visit regular.

Really good food at a reasonable price. Friendly staff.

A real gem of a place Sunday lunches are a favourite. Great service and super atmosphere. Well worth checking for a place to eat. Maybe book ahead. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent little restaurant- we came as a family of 4 the children’s menu is good but the full menu is even better a nice balance between tradition and grill menus- I chose the sea bass with stir fry vegetables and my husband had the steak and grilled chicken combo- it did not disappoint. The home made desserts were delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will be back!

An amazing place to eat and not over priced. We had a lovely lunch here. Staff and food was amazing.

We popped in just before lunchtime, looking for Brunch and it was glorious. The staff are excellent, helpful and professional. My request for extra’s (fried bread with breakfast) was no trouble and the food was marvellous.

Poor food... Fish and chips were bog standard... Not sure if the battered fish was from a packet?.. Left an unpleasant after taste from the oil it was all cooked in. We was also charged for a meal that we didn't have due to it being sold out. We only realised this after we had left.

Walked to Dawlish from Dawlish Warren and really wanted a proper cream tea. Most of the places in town were pretty tacky so walked out of town and was just ready to give up when we found Reflections. It was Sunday so we just got served but it was worth it. 2 warm scones each, loads of jam and cream Went to heaven and fuelled for our walk back. We sat outside as had a dog but the Bistro inside looked great and the other food being served superb.

Really nice people working here and good quality food with a wide range of choice.

Popped in for a coffee and ended up having lunch! 5 of us all had different dishes and all were lovely!! Friendly welcome and good value!!

Called in here on the off chance as we hadn’t booked a table. We really fancied a roast. It was midday and they only had one table available so that was lucky. Very friendly staff. Food brought to your table. I had pork and my husband had beef. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The deserts were lovely too. Glad we went in when we did as they had to turn people away. This seems to be a very popular little bistro. So my advice would be to book your table. You’ll not be disappointed. Will certainly be returning.

Excellent food, great service, will be back, highly recommend👍

We were recommended this place by a bus driver acquaintance. What he told us was true! the service was friendly and prompt but not pushy, the menu was varied so there was no problem finding something to suit us both. I had lasagne and my wife had a vegetable and feta panini, both were tasty, we also had a pot of tea. Portion size was good , not small and not too much. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable with good toilet facilities including wheelchair access. It fell to me to pay the bill, and what we paid was good value for money for freshly prepared food, we both agreed that we will visit again when next in Dawlish.

Had lunch today sitting outside. Really friendly staff, tasty food (Penang Curry and Lasagne!) - would definitely recommend!

Very good restaurant! It was recommended to us and we are passing the message on. Service was excellent. Food was really good, very tasty. I was too full to have a cake, and if we had more time would have called in a different time just for a drink and a cake. The prices were more than reasonable. If we are in the area again we will return.

Reflections Bistro is always lovely to visit. It serves brilliant food and Maria and her team always serve with a smile. They arranged the perfect send off for my grandma with a great range of buffet food and lovely service. Reflections goes above and beyond to make sure every customer leaves happy. I couldn't recommend more.

Excellent place to eat, lovely staff, very clean, went for Sunday lunch, will we go back, for sure we will, you must try this Bristo, fab (Australians) 👌👏

went here with my dad a while ago so i cant really remember the food but i liked it at the time so it must of been good

Booked for the 2 burger deal over Easter weekend. Really enjoyed it. Food was lovely, staff excellent, great prices. Highly recommended if in Dawlish.

Looking for a cup of tea and piece of cake and struggling having not realised that some of the tearooms in Dawlish close very early on a Monday afternoon Reflections saved the day. We were tempted by the desserts along with a cuppa. Shame they weren't open in the weeknight evenings or we would have paid a return visit.

We would describe the food in this place as average. There were only 4 other customers in and yet we had to wait 25 minutes for 2 panini's. Waitress seemed disinterested.

Very friendly and helpful staff good service and very relaxed atmosphere

Good place to stop for food in Dawlish.

Never had a bad experience. Food was great. Staff are friendly and polite.

Two good size scones with lashings of clotted cream and oodles of jam! Although they ere very busy - extensive menu by the looks of the other tables - the service was quick and food fresh . Best value sit don cream tea we could see in town

Everything was perfect ,well worth a visit

My Wife and I had dinner here Friday night and was very pleasantly surprised by the great menu selections. The food we had was really well cooked and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed our Dinner and drinks. Thank you .

Went for a meal with family, the food was amazing, hot, freshly cooked, and tasted lovely. Very chilled atmosphere here highly recommended

Biggest problems was it was very cold in the restaurant, no heating on. most customers had the coats on or over their legs. staff working hard, but two people not enough to make drink, take orders and clear tables. this resulted service being a little slow. food was nice.

both my wife and myself are visually impaired the staff most helpful showed us to a table had a choice of a booth or an open table. We decided on the vegetarian, sausages and mash with vegetables on excellent home, cooked, and prepared. Nothing frozen from a packet. thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to any visitors. We would call again as we only live in Exmouth

Really great place to eat or have a drink staff are welcomeing and the service is very good

Really nice place to eat or for coffee and cake. My mother used to meet her friends at Reflections and told me it was nice. She passed in July and when myself and my wife were in Dawlish sorting her things we went for lunch two days. It was lovely, such a welcoming atmosphere, very friendly. The women running the place were charming, the food excellent and the service first class. The coffee was superb. It is also worth saying the place was spotless, very clean and tidy. Highly recommend this restaurant, it was super. Thank you to those running the place.

Excellent breakfast...wish it included blackpudding....lovely and clean..Nice staff

As always, totally positive experience. Food always so nice, excellent service, all at a reasonable price. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely food and friendly service. The kids loved it too.

Brilliant service as usual, my kids love this place too, high top bays for privacy, food is cooked fresh I usually come on here for the breakfasts they are tasty! You would think you’re in a weatherspoons but better!!! Highly recommend a visit.

We had a roast dinner for two not much for two people , the veg wasn’t really much on the separate plate we had cauliflower cheese on a separate side service seemed slow £12 for a roast seems a lot Don’t think we will return

What a lovely cafe we popped into on our holiday whilst looking around Dawlish town. Generous portions of cream and jam which went down a treat… delicious.

Always use this venue for our stops when in Dawlish

We went to their recent Greek night and would thoroughly recommend. The food was excellent and plentiful and the staff were efficient and friendly. We would definitely go again.

Great Bistro and service was excellent. The food was good quality and very nice. I just felt the Lasagna portion was a bit on the small side which was slightly disappointing. Although all in all a good visit.

Popped in today on the off chance of lunch which we were seated immediately food was very good with plenty to be had staff where really friendly and polite service even though they where only 2 greeting guests and serving
