The best restaurants in South West

We ordered Fish salad each and it was the freshest salad I've had in a restaurant, absolutely delicious 😋, staff very kind very friendly, we had two cream scones with jam and clotted cream, they were home made scones and lovely too. Left there full and happy! Would we go back there again? That's a big YES! from us.

Lilico’s used to be one of my favourite dinner spots in Barnstaple. The tapas dishes were amazing and there was always a good atmosphere so when a friend suggested we go here with our partners for dinner we thought we’d give it a go, first time since it has been taken over by someone else and well let’s just say it will also be the last. Food was bland, probably the worst I have ever had. Cocktail menu was boring. Staff were miserable. And it was dead in there. Such a shame that Lilicos has been ran down into the ground.

A lovely spot for anyone craving authentic Italian food. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu offers a great variety of classic Italian dishes, all made with fresh ingredients. The pasta is delicious and cooked to perfection, while the pizza has a crispy crust and great toppings. The wine selection is also impressive, with several Italian options to choose from. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a nice meal, “Casa la Cucina Italiana” is a wonderful choice. Highly recommended!

We ordered olives and bread with dip for starters then paella for main. The paella was definitely not the best we have had. It really didn’t have any substance. Also we both suffered extreme acid reflux that very night. I would not go again for the paella but may have gone back for something else.

Super stop off point on the walk back to Bude from Sandymouth. Lovely spot , great coffee and cake, wonderful staff and they even do cocktails!

Sunday visit good welcome there after not so poor menu only 3,choices then cold plates=cold meals stingy veg. tough beef wrong drinks will not be returning

Great food and atmosphere. Very popular.

Excellent real ale Unfortunately closed until the new year I believe.

We had a bit of a wait because they were unexpectedly busy, so we removed ourselves into the garden with our zero Thatchers ciders, in the lovely October sunshine.We wer soon called back in with 'Foods ready'.My friend had a full large plate full of Venison sausages with lovely fresh .veg and potatoes mashed wit celeriac and a schooner of gravy and I had French onion soup with a cheesy croutons and sourdough bread All our culinary dreams were fulfilled and our appetites sated.In fact I helped my friend out by tasting half a sausage and she asked for a doggy bag with enough food for supper too. (She did not want to miss out on desserts). Big problem with the dessert, what to choose.In the end we both had Lemon posset with Blueberry compote and a shortbread biscuit which was sheer bliss.. A couple of happy bunnies drove home via the scenic route, blown away by the lovely food.

Attended with a group of a dozen friends on a mud-week evening. Good food, good beer (Proper Job), reasonable prices, friendly service and a great way to spend an evening

Good food too many chips for medium size.

Really lovely pub. The staff were all friendly and welcoming with the drinks being cold and refreshing and served quickly. The Food was really tasty and a great portion size. I had the Kings Crown and it left me feeling full while my partner had the loaded fries and had to take them home in a box! Would really recommend for anyone staying in any of the nearby camping sites like we were.

I’ve just had perhaps the best vegetarian breakfast ever at the Rock Inn. Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended

My partner and I had dinner here over the May bank holiday, it was our first time visiting. The restaurant itself is lovely, light and airy with beautiful views over the adjacent vineyard. Very attentive and friendly service from Marta. We shared a few plates between us, everything was tasty, and there was a reasonable vegetarian selection. I thought overall the menu was quite pricey, and portions on the small side (even for tapas/light bites).

Stayed in one of the beautiful lodges amongst the vines. It was wonderful to wake up on a crisp and sunny morning in such lovely accommodation. The summers here must be amazing. We ate in the restaurant on a Saturday evening and is very tastefully decorated, service is friendly and attentive. The food is superb, very imaginative tapas style dishes, my particular favourites were the orzo with roasted salmon and the figs with Stilton. We walked through the vines to breakfast which was lovely. The breakfast was fantastic, one of the best we’ve ever had. Smoked salmon was amazing, never tasted salmon like it. All in all, a beautiful place in a fantastic location, friendly staff, great food and excellent wines. Can’t wait to go back
