The best restaurants in South West

One of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Wednesday lunchtime, midday. Freshly cooked cod and chips. Huge lump of flaky fish with thin crispy batter.

It’s OK.. nothing extraordinary for Bath…. I would say housekeeping staff is very polite. Main spa area needs to maintain better hygiene. We stayed for 3 nights but only used the spa for one night due to poor hygiene and maintenance.

Just had an amazing meal at this restaurant. Food was cooked to perfection. Really great atmosphere with the restaurant being packed and doubling its covers on some tables, demonstrating how much it is valued by locals as well as tourists. Service was with a smile and incredibly good value. Well done team, lovely evening thank you.

It is in a very nice location with beachfront views. The seating is luxurious, and the decor is elegant. The waiting staff are very attentive, and the soft background music is perfect for a romantic dinner or grown-up family meal. I had the calamari and the salmon penne pasta. I was absolutely blown away by the calamari, that flavour was perfect and the batter very crispy. The accompanied sauce was flavourful and excellent. There was a slight stringy-ness to them, but that could just be due to the preparation of the ring where the 'outer skin' may have been missed. The penne was most definitely not good.... it was a watery sauce that had no depth of flavour, the flaked salmon felt like I was eating something from a tin... with a few 'crunchy' bits at times. I did, however, not complain... as I was exhausted, and just wanted to go back to my hotel for a rest. I don't think my meal was 100% worth it, but then again, my taste is different from others. I just know I would probably try a different main meal if I were to return.

We had a Cornish pastry from Sarah's, only to come again for more. Personally I am not a huge pasty lover as most pasty shops sell mass produced pasties and too dry for my liking. Having discovered these absolutely delicious pasties, home made on the premises with generous fillings yet cheaper than their competitiors, I would make a special trip back to Looe just to experience these wonderful tasty pasties.

Out & about I came across The Muddiford Inn decided to pop in for a light bite, ended up having a 3 course meal which was heavenly & enjoyed absolutely every part of it, the food has so much flavour and was beautifully presented. The pub is clean & nicely decorated with a lovely warm feel to it. Apparently a Family run business the young lady serving was so polite and professional & made the experience so delightful. Would highly recommend to any one in the area.

Every time we come back there we expect more of the same, however we never get more of the same, we just keep getting better and better! We were served this time by the delightful Lowri which we like because she always has time for us and always has a smile on her face. We have been as a couple, we have dined there with family, we have been there with friends and every time we leave with a smile on our faces and a feeling of money and time well spent. We know we can be a tough crowd, we have been lucky enough to go to a lot of places and see a lot of the world. This often means that we expect more than sometimes perhaps we should. None of that matters in a place like La Marina where the food is always great the wine is always just right for the food and the service comes from the likes of Lowri. Lowri who is a long standing member of the team with the owner and manager always look after us so well. They fitted us in and even rang us to suggest moving our table inside when the weather report changed at short notice so that we didn't miss out. When restaurants and staff go the extra mile like that, they are worth going the extra mile to. If you are in Portishead be it as a resident or a fleeting visit, make the time and don't miss out on a fantastic dining experience and smile with them as they always give service with a smile.

The food was Very Good in fact we loved it staff Grate The room was lovely Till the fans from the kitchen started up then 😩😭

We went to the restaurant as we were staying overnight in the hotel around the corner. The staff welcomed us in and were super friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, from the bread and olives for starters to the chicken salad and chicken tagliatelle for main course. We shared a tiramisu for desert...glad we did...it was huge!!! Such a lovely meal, beautiful ambience and food in this gem of a restaurant.

We went for dinner with some friends, the steak was amazing, perfectly cooked and seasoned, waitresses were friendly and very knowledgeable about the cuts of meat, service was quick. Expensive but well worth it. Highly recommend, we had a lovely evening

WOW WOW WOW just had the most amazing dinner I had the lamb and my husband had the sirloin steak both of which were cooked to perfection. The portions are very generous and came out piping hot

We had our works Christmas lunch here, the service was excellent as was the food. The menu was really good value for money and multiple dietary requirements were met with ease. The venue was perfect for our team of 20 and the setting was magical. It also had the added bonus of the hotel bar upstairs serving a delightful range of Christmas cocktails.

Very cosy pub. Food was lovely. Service was great

Really nice food and lovely atmosphere. We managed to book a table last minute to see Black Friday perform and they were happy to accommodate. Lovely bar staff and compliments to the chef for the care and service provided. Nothing negative to say!

Lovely evening here with my daughter last night, food is brilliant! Our waitress was great and very attentive, she clearly works super hard with a big smile on her face. Thankyou for a fab evening xx
