The best restaurants in East Devon South West

Such a lovely cafe, we followed the river walk from Lyme Regis to Uplyme & although the last section was a bit steep, it was well worth it!! We had a really warm welcome & a great lunch. I even ordered the chutney they’d served us online when I got home!! Really made our day special - highly recommend (very dog friendly too).

Recommended by the Bedford Hotel where we always stay when visiting Regency Sidmouth for "the best Devonshire cream tea." Quality jam and cream is presented in proper dishes, not prepacked in hideous plastic containers. A generous supply although we have had better scones but still worth a visit. "A destination in itself."🇬🇧🇳🇿

Took my mum here for a Mother’s Day/birthday treat, we had a cream tea, and it was absolutely amazing we’ve been before and it’s always been brilliant, the scones are fresh and warm, and crunchy on the outside and so soft in the middle, generous amount of cream and jam, prices are very good too, Would definitely recommend it for cream tea

Food was excellent, service great … there were 12 of us and no shortage of bringing drinks. Sharon and Paul were extremely accommodating. Friday is a steak deal day and food was all served hot and cooked to our requirements. We’ve all planned to go back soon … for info … the Sunday lunches are excellent too. We would all recommend here for food and drinks.

Had a brilliant day experience at fire school. Luke and his team were great. Came away with lots of new skills and ideas to cook with fire and tasted some really delicious, local seasonal food. I am telling all my family and friends about it and looking forward to coming back.

“Seafood from the coast of Exmouth straight to your plate. This is what the website says and that is exactly what you get. Tucked away just behind the main street in Exmouth is this lovely seafood restaurant. A small bar and dining area downstairs with more dining and the kitchen upstairs. If you can secure a table upstairs you can see many of the dishes being prepared in front of you. The menu is as you would expect mainly fish with a meat option of steak. Starters are around £7-10 with mains between £28-32. My only slight grumble is that potatoes/chips and greens are all extra. At these prices they should be included. We were a party of 5 (6 is the maximum table size) and we all had really excellent and memorable food. One of our party was 90 and thought her fish was one of the best she had ever tasted. There is a good wine list with prices starting at £22 per bottle.

As soon as you step through the door you know the place is well run; with the shop shelves beautifully stacked. All the prices were very reasonable too. Like the shop, the cafe was spotless where we enjoyed coffee that was full of flavour, but not bitter. It was obvious the whole business was being well looked after and clients were made very welcome.

Awesome boat trip, super friendly staff and reasonably priced! Boats come really frequently and we didn’t queue at all. Really made our little getaway.

Max's Cabin is the place for a quick, efficient, delicious freshly cooked meal at anytime of the day they are opened. If you have to wait its only because of the popularity or such an amazing dining experience. The consistency is on point and the staff are hardworking, courteous and amazing . Well worth the stop to support this fantastic business. Go see for yourself . Buddy

Such a lovely place! Stunning afternoon tea and delightful owners.

Passiflora is a lovely coffee shop surrounded by idyllic gardens. The coffee and pastries are extremely delicious and the vibe exceptionally salubrious. So far, three generations are creating a wonderful atmosphere for conversation and relaxation. Watch out Mary Berry, Grandma makes a wicked Victoria Sponge! 🌿😋☕️🍰🌸

A very nice fish and chip lunch. Small intimate friendly place to eat. I’m told the fish is fresh and battered on site. Thank you.

Really nice place for a coffee and cake. Dog friendly too which is great. The coffee was so delicious I had to find out where it was from(Roastworks)

Went there with friends mid afternoon on a Saturday, we sat in the garden which was lovely. Ordered drinks only, a pot of tea, cappuccino and four cans of fizzy drinks. It took over twenty minutes to arrive. Our waitress was nice and polite, but our fizzy drinks were not chilled, when we enquired if the were any colder cans we were told no, was offered ice, which was great. But the glasses were warm! Sadly would probably try a different cafe next time.

Excellent food. Top quality ingredients used and it tastes in the eating. Varied menu for both savoury and cakes. WILL DEFINITLEY GO AGAIN and soon. Service was faultless.
