The Mill Street Brasserie in Torridge

Great food, beautiful decor, charming staff, good value. I can’t wait to come back!

Food and service second to none,an extremely good evening

Best dining experience in Bideford by a wide margin.

Popped in for lunch. Had a chicken and bacon salad and Otter Ale for under £20. Best dressing on salad I've had for a while. Really good service. Will definitely come next time I visit Bideford. A real gem.

Great from the moment we walked through the door. Staff welcoming and friendly, no rush, helpful with wine and menu. There were 3 of us and we all chose a different dish. All were fantastic!!! Wine very reasonable and very good. Do not miss out, book a table and thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. Would be our go to place for sure if we were local!!

Lovely fresh local produce. Friendly, attentive staff. I had the Appledore Fish Stew which was very yummy. A little gem of a restaurant.

Popped in for some lunch with my husband and parents. The food was amazing, we ordered crab rarebit & potted prawns. The service was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble and we even had a chat with the chef. A friendly restaurant serving lovely food. Be sure to book ahead!

Wow, the best mojitos I've had in a long time. The food is original and delicious. A small menu executed with skill and attention to detail

Good food, very friendly service and the place is nice

I came to this BEAUTIFUL restaurant on Saturday with one of my friends for some lunch and a catch up. We sat outside which was lovely. Great atmosphere and nice seating. I had a chicken burger which was delicious and a very generous portion (especially for lunchtime). The Chef even came over to check we were happy and had everything we needed. 10/10 for food, customer service & atmosphere. Cannot wait to visit again.

Beautiful food served with a smile

The food was amazing. As a food lover and a lover of flavour. What I was served this evening was as good as the food I had from Michel Roux Jr in London. Honestly the sauce on the main corse was sublime and the starter of muscles was so yummy. The service was great and the cost was really good.

This is the second time and it's is just the best. I had two different dishes and bote time the fish is the freshest. I recommend the appledo fish stew or the Hake they are both soooo good my wife likes the Burges. So if you are in Bideford this is a very good choice foehood food and a nice atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Excellent food all cooked to perfection and well presented, great service especially front of house, nice outdoor area and wonderful ambiance including the music. Great choice of cocktails, Also has the second best Loo in Bideford😉. My only disappointment was that I didn’t get a Ta-dah as promised when my golden chalice of millionaire chips were delivered 🤣

Went for a late lunch with my daughter. Incredibly friendly, lovely environment, good menu choices and great service.

We absolutely LOVE the food here. Fantastic service, atmosphere and the food is just perfection 😁 my fave is the crab tacos, when in season! Edit- we have now also eaten here for breakfast recently and it was stunning. Hubby had pancakes with bacon and a side of avocado toast and I had full English. Both were absolutely excellent and I thought for the quality of the food it was very well priced. Excellent service as always.

Amazing breakfast this morning. Service was fantastic and the food was high quality and fantastically cooked. Highly recommend.

Visiting Bideford, this restaurant was a real discovery. We were well looked after, lovely starter of charcuterie board. Mains of fish were amazing. Lively, friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

We came in for a cheeky lunch today (17/07) the food was incredible. The potted prawns are an absolute must! The steak was cooked to perfection. Good quality food with great flavours. There was only one server who was fantastic and even though it was a quiet Wednesday, still managed to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Well done to you all. We will be back!

They say the best things come out of small kitchens and that is 100% correct at Mill Street Brasserie. Nice atmosphere, very attentive staff, everything felt fuss free and easy with a high standard of food from a menu that wasn’t littered with too many choices and options. Can’t wait to visit again.

We visit Bideford failry often and every time we do we have to eat at Mill Street Brasserie which, in our opinion, is the best restaurant in Bideford! The food is always delicious and it's great that the menu changes so there is usually something new to try. We have not been disappointed yet! There is a also really good cocktail selection. The restaurant has a wonderful cosy feeling, and it is also nice to eat outside inthe courtyard in the summer months. To top it off, the service has been impeccable on every occasion. We look forward to our next visit!

A wonderful evening last Saturday. I love the atmosphere..great music, brilliant front of house staff and of course the kitchen. The food is beautiful...obviously prepared with care and love and it is all absolutely delicious...squid, chorizo gallete, skate and hake. Great cocktails to start with followed by some lovely wine. This is my favourite place, looking forward to my next visit. Thank you to all the team!

Oh my. I arrived on the off-chance of getting a seat without a reservation. I was fortunate to do so but I strongly recommend you make a reservation because it will be worth the effort, for this must be one of the best restaurants and lunchtime venues anywhere in Devon. I had the Hake dish. As someone with an acute palate, I'm here to report that it was served perfectly moist, almost sweet, and incredibly fresh. The accompanying sea samphire, and sun-dried tomatoes led vegetable ensemble created a perfect balance of flavours that had my mouth watering. Trust me when I say that's a rare thing indeed for me. The Lemon posset dessert served with fresh strawberries was an inspired combination that simply exploded in the mouth and made for a fine encore. Add in the impeccable yet friendly service and you'd be hard pressed to find anything this good anywhere.

Here for Steve's 60th Birthday celebrations. Staff amazing. Friendly, professional. Special mention goes to the 5 Star Gold toilets. Absolutely amazing! You will be astounded! An oasis if comfort and complete relaxation!

This must be the best eatery in North Devon! Doubt you'll find better! My wife and I had dinner here on my birthday, and what a great choice it proved to be. Warm, friendly welcome, great service, and exciting menu with an emphasis on fresh local seafood. My wife had the baked hake, which she said was amazing. I opted for the rib-eye, which was perfectly cooked and so tender you didn't actually need a steak knife!! We both enjoyed beautifully presented, generous plates of food which were full of flavour. Extensive drinks menu offering, among other things, a choice of local gins and a reasonably priced and interesting wine list. Highly recommend Mill Street Brasserie. If you're in the area, be sure to treat yourself to a great eating experience.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Mill Street Brasserie recently and it was a wonderful experience. The decor is lovely, very warm and welcoming, the music is just the right volume, there's none of that horrible echo you get in some eateries - where you literally can't hear yourself think - and the service was great. But the star of the show is the food, which was genuinely fantastic in every way. Totally delicious. Just 'wow'. We loved the whole thing and because it's within easy walking distance of home, we'll definitely be back.

Wonderful place, great food. Great choice of wines. Can't wait to go again.

Just had lunch there today absolutely great food cooked and served by two lovely young ladies

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. The steak was cooked perfectly

Nice food but a little overpriced. Service was a little slow but friendly staff. More of a place to go as a treat, rather than a regular eatery

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here with exceptional service - highly recommended and we will be back 😊😊

Do yourself a favour and book a table. Amazing food, excellent service, great atmosphere.

Amzing! Atmosphere and decor is wonderful. Food is out of this world I madcac6.5 hour drive to come back here for a ribeye. Beautiful.

What an amazing venue! From the moment we arrived the staff were so accommodating, professional and inviting! We had the burgers which are one of our standard choices but they were a level above anything we’d had before. The beef was perfectly cooked and had so much flavour, you could tell they put a lot of time and effort in finding the highest quality ingredients! By far the best place we’ve been to locally and would highly recommend! Don’t be put off by the prices as the quality far outweighs the slight increase over other local places!!

A lovely birthday celebration dinner here mid week was a real delight. Lovely home cooked food, attentive service and a cosy atmosphere made it a perfect evening. The squid was gorgeous, fresh and crunchy and the mussels some of the meatiest I have had anywhere. The decor is modern and atmospheric. I loved it so much I went back for lunch a couple of weeks later. It was just as good at lunchtime and the Welsh Rarebit on sourdough was delicious. I much regret not trying this excellent little Bistro before, but I will now become a regular.

We had a great evening here . We arrived very late but the staff were very understanding. Local food at its best, I had calamari to start and skate which was amazing , my Husband had mussels and then beef bourguignon which was also top class. We spoke to the chef/owner and she was delightful, all in all 10 out of 10.

Love this place! Perfect for a special occassion. Brilliant service, food and atmosphere. Roll on the next birthday or anniversary meal!

Very pleasurable experience. Could not fault the food or the service, excellent all round. Charcuterie board turned the heads of all other diners - definitely had the wow factor. House red and white wines were great. Will definitely return when in the area

OMG !!! By far one of the best places to eat in Bideford !!!! Delicious food ( I had baked cod which was sooo tasty ) and the house red wine was fantastic! Definitely will go back - great atmosphere and lovely staff !

Wow! Absolutely stunning food, we had heard amazing things and we were not disappointed at all! My husband is a fussy eater and had the ex moor burger, said it blew his mind! - the service was also amazing and special shout out to the lovely sarah who was so kind and helpful. This is a jewel in the heart of Bideford and must be tried!

Mill street brasserie bideford Excellent food and very friendly Will be going back as soon as we can

An absolutely delightful find. Best beef burger ever, delightful dessert, great service, fair prices, accessible. Highly recommended for a quick meet up and great coffee, or a long sloe lunch. Also open evenings

Booked for a birthday meal. Arrived and were seated immediately. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Menu a little on the small side, but we all found something to eat, including one vegetarian and one fussy eater. Food was really nice. I had squid rings, shared a charcuterie board and then steak and chips. All prepared and cooked with no problems. Prices were reasonable. Well done

Fantastic lunch. Whenever i come to Bideford i come here

4 of us visited. Lovely food, friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices for good quality dining Well chosen wine list and a good selection of dishes made with local produce. I really enjoyed it. I chatted with the chef for a while and she explained where all the produce comes from and how they create the dishes based on what is seasonally fresh. Great evening and will definitely return.

Absolutely wonderful service, best in the UK in a long time. This wee restaurant is a hidden gem. Great food, perfectly cooked. Fries better than five guys, steak that cuts like butter. Lovely cocktails and a great wine selection to choose from. If you're in Bideford BOOK A TABLE (and this is a must because it's small but perfectly formed, and gets full). Hopefully we will be returning next time we are in the area. Thanks again guys for your wonderful hospitality.

How have we not been to this fantastic restaurant before. The food was amazing & staff were excellent. We will 100% be back!

Went as a group of four friends. Thankfully they managed to fit us in last minute. We all had starter and mains which were incredibly delicious. I had crab nachos which we very flavourful. A couple of us had the Hake which was packed full of seafood in a lovely saffron sauce. Another two had the fish stew and cod, we all commented how great the food was and portion sizes. I really appreciated the home cooked fries rather than store brought. The drinks were great, throughly recommend a mango colada. We will definitely be back…soon :)

Really disappointed tonight due to the service not the food The restaurant was cold and they forgot our mains tbh wish we had paid for starters and drinks and left no real apology so will think again before we go back A ruined evening

Had a wonderful meal here tonight best meal I have had all year, staff are great very friendly, great atmosphere

This is a hidden gem. Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Very relaxing atmosphere. Food was first class. My friends enjoyed the steak and I had fish. Mussels and squid for starters. Absolutely delicious! Totally recommended.

Having a wander around Bideford at lunchtime, looked at the menu at the door and it looked promising. We were greeted with a lovely smile and showed to our table. Our food was great (open salmon sandwich and a lovely beef burger both with all the trimmings). Great stuff 😊👍

Absolutely delightful. Food and service 5 star. Vegetarian food was great.

After a long cycle ride in 28° heat, we had an excellent meal in a relaxing environment. Started with the galette, then moules with chorizo and spring onions in cider; lemon posset to finish. Washed down with a nice crisp South African Chardonnay. Much refreshed.

We visited on Saturday night for our wedding anniversary. What a little gem on Mill Street, the food was outstanding and the service was equally as good. We will most definitely be back!

Our first time here, but definitely not our last. You won't be disappointed. True story.

Wow! Where do I start with this review.... Absolutely love this little hidden gem. My partner and I decided to go there for a meal while we were on holiday and we weren't disappointed, at all. We were greeted by the most kindest waitress/hostess who fully explained what was on the menu. When you go in it's not very big (not a criticism at all), it has a very intimate setting which I quite liked to be honest, as you've not got loads of loud noises all around you. The decor is to die for, love the colour scheme of navy/teal/gold with the faux plants dotted around. I spent a bit of time in the toilet (not because the food was bad (haha)) but I was just mesmerised by the decor in there. The Emma Shipley wallpaper with the leopard print elephants and the gold ornaments. If I could redeorate my bathroom, it would look like that. Love the idea of the pink feather-walled photo booth aswell, which adds that extra touch to the whole restaurant experience. Now onto the food. Well, I was in food heaven from start to finish. We both had the salt and pepper squid for a starter which came out on a tiled slate, followed by the baked Hake in saffron cream sauce with Mussels and King Prawns with fries. The food is beautifully presented, cooked to perfection and the portion sizes are spot on! After my meal, I treated myself to a Brasserie Russian, which I've never had before, as I'm not much of a drinker. But I really enjoyed the mixture of the vodka, chocolate liqueur, Kahlua & cream over ice. You can tell they've properly thought about every little single detail. All these little touches really gives the whole place that "wow" factor. Amazing hospitality, amazing food. The place is just incredible. I love it that much, if I could, I'd drive 3 hours just to eat there again but will have to wait until our holiday next year. 5 stars!!!

Ate at this splendid brasserie this afternoon with family, food was excellent, fresh and delicious to the last mouthful. The front of house staff matched the quality of the chef's food. Thanks for the quality, much appreciated.

Welcoming and warm. Amazing food. Locally produced and seasonal food. A light lunch is more like a belly full. Whether inside the modern brasserie or the cosy courtyard. It's not to be missed. We had bideford crab rarebit and smoked salmon open sandwich

Great place to have a lunch. Tasty food with fries to die for. Friendly and very welcoming staff. 100% recommend.

We were lucky to get a table at this small restaurant but I am so glad we did. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We ate oysters, crab nachos (wonderful!), hake and much more, all of it extremely good. Visit the lavatory for an eye catching experience! Highly recommended.

Must see spot when in or passing Bideford! Quaintly decorated spot, very clean, polite and friendly staff, amazing food! Must try the salmon, bacon, cream cheese and mango open sandwich!

Our first visit to this restaurant on recommendation of wonderful Northam Cars driver and it was lovely. Great cooking on a varied menu. Lovely atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. For anyone with mobility restrictions a taxi can drop you on the doorstep in the evening. Earlier in the day it is pedestrianised.

OMG velvet and vanilla was amazing but Louise this is fabulous the decor the attention to detail the staff are so knowledgeable and made amazing cocktails . I wanted everything on the menu can’t wait to come again😊😊

We came here for my partner’s birthday. Beautiful decor, friendly and attentive staff and amazing food. Great value too. We will definitely come here again.

I can't visit this place enough. It's become my go-to lunch destination whenever I'm working in Bideford!

This was the best dining experiences we have had while visiting Devon. Small, which we wanted, exquisitely decorated to create a personal but luxurious feel, rich colours with quirky design. If you are looking for exceptional service with food that is perfectly placed, this is...

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The mussels are the best I've ever had!

What can I say, we are new to the area and wanted to check out places to eat. Mill Street Brasserie is just divine, to put it bluntly. Its a gem of a find in Bideford. Friendly staff, beautiful decor and a really good wine list that compliments the menu. The cocktails looked soo good too, and will definitely be back to try more of the menu and sample them. The owner/chef is a champion of local produce. Its an intimate setting, delicious food, fine dining in a lovely atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough.

A little gem of a restaurant in the centre of Bideford with fabulous ambience and attention to detail. The food was delicious and very well presented. The service was good and a personal visit from the chef rounded the evening of nicely.

Popped in for lunch today with friends - never been to Bideford before but this was a great highlight for the day . Delicious beetroot and walnut burger, great wine, amazing desserts Where possible they have credited other local business for supplies - great attention...

Lovely lunch sitting in the sun! Great staff and a great lunch. We all had sandwiches but probably the best sandwiches in Bideford!

First time we have tried this establishment will definitely be going back We both went for the Mexican bean stew as recommended by a friend we are not vegetarian but it was very very good Characturie board was a great starter

We attended for a family meal. Right from the start, the service was on point. The food came out promptly and was cooked to perfection. Attention to detail for each course was amazing. We would highly recommend this place.

Great seafood selection, and nice setting

Dinner à deux. Good ingredients, well put together and beautifully cooked. If you like good food, you should give this place a try.

What a wonderful surprise this restaurant is. Great atmosphere and delicious food..... Really good chef Can't wait to go back again this Saturday for lunch,

A small but perfectly formed little gem in Bideford. I had a beautiful meal here. The seafood was cooked with care and a delicate touch. Very delicious and wonderful presentation. I will be back.

Lovely food for the price. Fresh and well seasoned. And decent portions. Fantastic energetic service from a lady who was so welcoming, friendly and easy going. We went mid week mid day so atmosphere was lacking a bit but I’m sure it’s great at peak times. Was the opposite of a tourist trap which you get so often in tourist areas. Very refreshing. Keep doing what your doing!

Went with my husband, we both had the Crayfish and Mango salad with a side of millionaire chips. It was amazing. Really friendly staff just made it an overall amazing lunch. I would highly recommend.

This restaurant is a true delight, I had an unexpectedly lovely time and a delicious lunch here with a pal. The exterior is unassuming and understated, we were greeted by the most charming and engaging member of staff, she was chatty and helpful but not too much...she had the most lovely manner. The inside opens up to reveal the most glorious dining space, dark moody tones, much foliage, and an accent of gold which gives an hint of old Hollywood/maximalist botanical. A round of applause for the bathroom too...Emma Shipley wallpaper, Molton Brown toiletries, I rest my case. This is all before you get to the heavenly outside seating area and, of course the food. The menu is well curated with something for everyone, we went for salad bowls but really need to go back and explore the food further....too hot for a big meal that day! Apparently, freshly caught lobster and other seafood is often on the evening menu. We briefly met the chef who gave a palpable sense of passion about the food she was creating and the restaurant as a whole. The atmosphere was upbeat and joyful, I was left buzzing about our experience, can't wait to go back for an evening meal. The coffee is excellent too. This really is an oasis in the very centre of Bideford.

Another lovely meal at the Mill Street Brasserie. My husband booked us a table on a sunny evening in June, several people were eating outside in the beautiful courtyard which was not surprising given it was a lovely evening. We had the best of both...

Fantastic lunch to celebrate my birthday Sarah who served us was attentive, professional and extremely customer focused. The food was superb. Thank you, we will return!

Wow! What a little gem! Amazing food, we had V&V and crayfish salad and millionaire fries. best salads we ever had! Fries were delicious too. Yum yum yum! Everything so fresh and so tasty! And the desert was to die for! Very friendly staff and attentive. We'll definitely be back if in area again! ❤️💝

This was recommended to me by Sadie (Atlantic Spirit Gin) whilst purchasing her gin at Appledore Farmers Market on Sat. She suggested the chicken burger. Sarah showed us to the garden and I had the bramble cocktail (fresh & delicious) and Derek had a Peroni....

A date night with my husband. We certainly chose well. Our food was delicious as always. We really love this restaurant! Crab Nachos to die for; seafood pasta marvellous; rib eye steak so tender and tasty. Lovely atmosphere, great staff. Well done!

Very disappointed as we had looked forward to the meal, after all the previous reviews raised such high expectations. The service was not as we would have expected. We waited 10 minutes after we sat down before we were even asked what we wanted to drink and then ordered food to be told that the starter one of us wanted had run out. Not a problem where there is an extensive menu, but there were only five to choose from in the first place. My wife chose something else, and it was OK , just not really to her taste. When the main course came, we asked for mayonnaise, and a spoon for the seafood linguine, which the server then forgot to bring, leaving my wife eating the linguine with knife and fork until we finally managed to attract another server's attention. For the linguine dish there was no offer of parmesan or black pepper, and to be perfectly honest it was quite disappointing. The linguine was plain with a little oil and chilli, and then there were mussels on top. It was fine, but not really tasty. The ribeye steak was small and only came with fries and a small salad for the £27 cost. I could've sent it back as I'd asked for it medium rare and it came rare, but to be honest I couldn't really be bothered as it took so long to get anything. The food was good quality, but expensive for what it was and it was a very limited menu. The only thing that saved the evening was the absolutely excellent mango colada cocktail. I hate leaving a negative review, but we spent a lot of money on a much anticipated evening out, and we both felt that it was disappointing.

A little gem of a restaurant. Amazing locally sourced ingredients, skillfully prepared. Great wine and the best Armagnac! Fabulous friendly service. This place should be in the Michelin Guide.

Coffee was changed to Cocktails At Noon.We were having a v small Celebration at some v Good News.Louise Our Mine Hostess was certainly that with A V Well Deserved added MOSTEST. She made a Simple quick Coffeei to Truely Fantastic unplaned unexpected few hours such a Lovely Great Relaxing Fun few hours. COCKTAILS were just The Bestest i had ever had .(and being over 70 years and having worked travelled abroad-i have to admit i have had a couple),tasted divine looked just wonderful.Fresh flowers herbs ,best ingredients equals with the skill of brilliant mixing.....out of this world taste. Plus a v v busy lunchtime full Restaurant .Found a tray of delicious Nibble for us too.All over and above what was normal. She was Abs Great as was everything.And i havnt mentioned how enjoyable Spending A Penny was. it was all just ABSOLUELY FABULOUS as was Louise . Thank-you so much Louise. Will be back to have some Scallopes soon i hope. Christina and the 2 young ladies who were with me

Dropped in for lunch. Friendly service, great decor and best of all - delicious food! Would recommend & will return.

Omg what a find!!! By chance we walked past, the lunch menu looked perfect! And you when everything from the food, service and the decor are all excellent! Thank you so much Sarah for amazing service and Louise for beautiful food!

Bideford is a funny old place. A real melting pot of tourism, historical industry, tradition, poverty, affluence…. In other words a bit difficult to summarise. I wouldn’t describe it as a cultural epicentre, but neither would I describe it as a cultural void. What I...

Excellent, food fab, definitely recommend

Lovely find when visiting the area. Popped in for lunch as a couple. Friendly staff, great food. Would definitely visit again when in the area. Large car park is less than a 5 minute walk away.

Having dined here this evening to celebrate my Mum’s 82nd birthday. I can hand on heart say this is currently my favourite place to eat out in North Devon. Incredibly friendly service with absolutely delicious and extremely well cooked dishes made from locally sourced ingredients....

Fantastic food and superb friendly service. One of the best eating experiences I have had. Locally sourced food cooked well and felt really welcome

This is a Gem. Booked an evening meal there. It’s small and cozy. The staff are amazing we even met the Chef who is female. The food was superb. Cooked to perfection with perfect presentation. Unusual menu and flavours. Tempura cooked Oysters and sauce were...

Excellent food and warm welcome .

Had dinner this evening with my husband for a rare treat and was blown away by how great this restaurant is. We are big cocktail fans and we made our way through the menu and they were all perfect. Then decided to have calamari and...
