Cannot recommend the wine bar highly enough, always have a lovely evening with them. Tapas, burgers, steaks and a specials boards normally available all reasonably priced, with the food locally produced. The staff are always happy and efficient and food beautifully prepared and served. Local gems like this have to be visited to ensure that they can keep going in tough times like we face today. I know that we will always go as we’ve never had a bad experience and always enjoy every mouthful.

A very friendly restaurant with great grub. The food was delicious and fresh with a good selection of interesting food. My wife and I did not think we had over ordered but the portions were generous, loved the whiteboard. You won't go hungry and our whole evening was great value.

Recently ate here one evening. We didn't book on a Friday night but were lucky enough to get the last table. We brought our toddler and the staff were very accommodating and family friendly. Not many independent restaurants exist like this and it always feels like a unique dining experience when we visit. Drinks are good and so is the food.

What a fabulous little gem this is on Honiton High Street! I have been visiting here for a number of years, it's a wonderful welcoming, friendly vibe, and the food is always incredible! The tapas is a definite highlight, alongside the belly pork or steak - I've enjoyed them all! The pancakes offered on the breakfast menu are utterly divine (if I could, I'd have them every day!). I've attended charity theme nights (the cocktail evening was a particular favourite, even if we didn't manage to get through the whole menu 😉) Loving the food and service as much as we do, we also asked if they could cater our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble; from the initial planning, to the day itself, the team put me at ease and were so friendly and professional, helping guide us through what we needed/wanted. We decided on tapas to start, pizza for main (these are no ordinary pizzas! Hand stretched, cooked in a woodfired pizza over, they are perfection!) followed by a selection of desserts. The food was plentiful, and the guests all commented on how much they enjoyed it! Honiton is fortunate to have a number of fabulous restaurants and cafes, but The Honiton Wine Bar is definitely top of the list for me!

We visited for a Saturday evening meal, a repeat visit as we have had great evenings here previously. We ordered tapas which was fantastic! However, we were then given the pudding menu and all decided on our options but after waiting half an hour for someone to take our order had all gone off the idea. During this half an hour, we observed bar staff eating bread behind the bar while chatting, staff members sitting and drinking wine on the table next door to us and each other of us made eye contact with a staff members. I then had time to leave the restaurant, walk through town to a cash point, calculated the bill ourselves and leave money on the table, then walk to the door before finally getting a ‘thank you’ from staff. We would happily have had puddings and further drinks but being ignored really ruined our evening. A dessert and bottle of wine from Tesco went down really well at home!

Whilst on holiday my husband booked this for my birthday meal. With 2 teenage children we needed somewhere all would enjoy and the wine bar ticked all the boxes! It has a lovely vibe, created in part by its friendly, welcoming staff. It had a good specials board but also does steaks, burgers, pizzas and tapas. Great fun cocktails and all fairly priced. The food was fresh and delicious. The teenagers also enjoyed the puddings. The service is a little slow but didn’t bother us and I think some of that is due to the food being freshly cooked not just reheated. You can go just for a drink but i would definitely recommend the food. We were also able to take our 2 dogs. A super find and we will be back.

We stumbled upon this fantastic little place on our holiday and could not have had a better experience. Firstly, it is priced fairly with a good unpretentious selection of wines catering for all tastes. We had the feta salad, chorizo and calamari to start. Couldn’t fault any of it. For mains we had the lamb kofta and the pork belly. The friendly and efficient front of house staff confidently disclosed when asked that everything is cooked fresh and is homemade. This is definitely the case and I would also suggest that the ingredients are of the highest quality. We had no room for dessert as the portions are so generous although not overwhelming but we took another bottle of wine with us to enjoy at home. We had the pleasure of a brief chat with the owner at the end of our time and it turns out that her husband cooks everything! We always try to support independent concerns and this place is right up there!

We had not eaten more than a Teacake here for a long time so on a cold Winters day we visited for Brunch. During the day the Wine Bar often attracts a mainly elderly clientele but when we visited there were few customers, just as well as the premises were very cold with only a tiny electric heater in evidence. The Wine Bar is now family run. As always the Filter Coffee and attention from the Staff were good. Amazingly for 2020 no WiFi is available for Customer Use and we could not connect to O2 either. Living in Honiton has many benefits, but getting Online isn't one of them! My Wife's Bacon and Egg Sandwich was good but spoiled by the cheap and cheerful sliced white bread. My Small English Breakfast was barely warm and the Bacon was very underdone. Unless sitting in a refrigerator drinking coffee is your thing, there are better places to eat in Honiton.

The food is always delicious, freshly cooked and sourced from local suppliers. This is family run and you are always made to feel welcome. Regulars have their favourite tables ready and waiting for them with a newspaper, a nice touch. If you are having breakfast you get filter coffee included with free refills if you desire. This is a great place to have breakfast and watch the world go by as you eat.

We have been to The Wine Bar many times over the years. The new owners have freshened up the décor which is perfectly fine and has kept the ambience casual and cosy. We did have to wait for quite a long time for our food to arrive even though it was not very busy with diners on that particular evening. But we enjoyed our food, we had starters and mains which were tasty and very nicely presented. We shall be back again and wish the new owners all the best. one more thing, we know where the wine came from and we thought the mark up was a bit steep!

a meal in the evening with friends, a bit cramped but friendly staff and warm surroundings, bar prices reasonable (better in happy hour before 7pm) reasonable choice of food, especially the rump of lamb which was excellent. Others had belly pork and nut roast, all commented nice food, desserts were nice also. All round, I will go here again. One comment, although the tables were clean they need a deep clean to remove many layers of wax which made them feel sticky.

The wine bar has recently changed hands and breakfast is a new thing. It's also had a bit of a refurb. We went in this morning to see the new décor and it's good. Much lighter and brighter; somehow it looks bigger too! Himself had the full works, I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast. It was all delicious, clearly local bacon and sausage and with black pudding too. Can you have too much smoked salmon with eggs? Normally I'd say no but today it was a close run thing. The staff were friendly and even re made our lattes because they were barely lukewarm. However it was a very long wait for food considering we were the only customers when we ordered.

At the last minute we were looking for somewhere in Honiton for supper with some friends. The Honiton Wine Bar had spare tables so we went in. At first glance this place is not what you might expect - for us it didn’t have that immediate bistro welcome. But we quickly warmed to The Honiton Wine Bar. The wine was good and we looked through the menu and chose the special of fish and chips all round. What a great choice - the food was absolutely excellent amazing crispy batter and lovely fish with crunchy chips. We had a couple of puddings - again excellent. We would definitely go back - great food, great wine and really good value.

We have eaten here a few times now and the food quality never fails me. Always tasty, new ideas, fantastic home made chips, and they are more than happy to adjust your meal slightly if there's something you can't eat or that you don't like. They change the menu in a regular basis which is a refreshing change. Staff are welcoming and greet you every time you come in. They are sometimes limited to space in there so if you are a large group you must book. Well done x

Very disappointed with the attitude of the older female fair haired waitress - no greeting just informed somewhat abruptly as she walked towards us that the menu that we were looking at on the inside of the window was the evening menu and what did we want? Other than a couple of coffees enquired what else was available? Response was far from polite or helpful to answer a question with a question. With hindsight clearly it would have helped had I been telepathic as there was no indication on the menu we looked at that it was for the evening or any other part of the day. No menus on the table either, nor were we handed one or advised what was available. At least the younger dark haired waitress was pleasant enough when she brought the cakes which along with the coffee were ok, but nothing special. Left feeling very annoyed.

From the second we walked through the door we knew we was going to enjoy our experience. The staff where warm and friendly and allowed us time to sit at the bar and relax before ordering our meal. We didn't feel rushed once sat down as some restaurants like to turn around tables very quickly. The food was excellent the staff where excellent and the atmosphere was excellent. Would recommend anyone thinking of visiting this little gem of a restaurant to go ahead, you won't be disappointed.

I was in Honiton for a couple of days helping my daughter-in-law move house. The Thursday steak night (also Tuesday) was good. The steak was thick, tender and cooked as requested. I also had the fish special on Friday. Very friendly welcome. My only quibbles were that the triple cooked chips were not crispy on the outside and the salad dressing was a little sweet for my taste. Good wine, and I thought a fair price for what I had

Would not eat there as if you go to toilet upstairs you can see into kitchen ,and well it leaves a poor impression . The chef comes into eating area sometimes don't think that is a good thing ! Very small place . Have seen the food coming out it looks ok .

Honiton Wine Bar in our High Street is friendly, unpretentious & well-worn, rather like us really, so we feel completely at home! Its best feature is that it is a local business, and not some anonymous branch of a National Chain of Coffee Shops, so Customers really matter here! It's a very easy going, unhurried and friendly atmosphere, with added good food and coffee.The friendly and hard working female proprietors often chat with their many regulars as they serve them.Brunch is worth waiting for, well cooked using good quality ingredients. The Full English is excellent, especially the large flat mushroom, fresh not tinned. The bacon has a marvelous flavour, and the thick slices of toast are made from locally baked bread. Even the simple bacon sandwich tastes very good. The cream teas include fruit scones and are yummy.Their portion sizes for Mains in the evening are not their strongest point and range from just adequate to tiny. The food is good quality and well cooked, but insufficient if you have a large appetite, and some dishes can be poor value for money. The House Wines are good and they even keep a Cask Ale, currently Doom Bar. The Steak Deal on Tues & Thurs Evenings is highly recommended. The Deserts are interesting and well-presented. Negatives, only that no free Wi-Fi is provided for Customer use, unusual these days for this type of establishment. It is also a shame that they don't keep the excellent Otter local beer.

Spent a nice evening with 3 of my friends but the food was shocking, over priced and uninspiring. No vegetarian choice what so ever, chaotic menu and service wasn't great either, never asked if everything was ok or even offered anymore drinks ! Salads running in watery dressings, sickly desserts Will not be returning !

My husband and I decided to reward ourselves after all day gardening , so came to the wine bar for a lovely evening of food and drink. As before, steak, prawns and risotto were delicious, as was the desserts and it was a change for my husband to have a choice, given his need for gluten free food. We did previously patronise the wine bar until someone was a little too friendly to my husband which was upsetting and awkward. however , time had passed so thought try again and enjoyable time had by us both . Very good food☺️too. Highly recommend.

We had prebooked as in the area and trusted the good reviews on here. They were all right, the service and food was really very good. We weren't at all sure we'd made the right decision when we walked in as the decor quite dated but we had 2 lovely courses with husband having an extremely good dessert too. Not cheap but by any means but not expensive either and worth every penny as such good quality, well cooked food.

I came here with my other half for dinner on a Friday evening. I've been extra fussy recently as i'm fed up of paying good money for an evening out and really feeling like it wasn't worth it. I'm so glad i stumbled across this place on trip advisor. The lady that was front of house was lovely, really welcoming and friendly. The menu has apparently recently changed and instead of a main course we opted for the fish platter to share followed by dessert. Everything is cooked to order but we still didn't have too long to wait. The food was delicious, i think for the money, maybe the portions could have been slightly bigger, maybe a salad and salsa each rather than to share. This meant I had room for my baileys tart dessert which was so yummy! We will definitely be back here, I thoroughly enjoyed the food!

Probably the best Fish restaurant in Sidmouth. The moment we entered the restaurant and received a warm welcome from the front of house staff we knew we were in for a treat. From the starters through to the excellent main courses (Whole Plaice and Fillet of Hake) the food was sublime. The quality of Neils food preparation and cooking was sublime. I met Neil afterwards to thank him in person for the high quality evening he and his staff provided.

On holiday for a few days. Nice enough place. Below average meal. Fish and chips- fish over cooked. Houmous was horrible never had bad houmus, So didn’t eat it. ( told them it wasn’t very nice but didn’t take it off the bill) Chorizo tapas was beautiful. Mussels for tapas was plentiful but too salty. Ravioli was lovely. Had lemon tart and cherry cheesecake for deserts both lovely flavours but the lemon tart had soft pastry on the bottom. Cherry ice cream was fantastic. I feel that if you choose the right thing , you will enjoy your evening
