The best restaurants in Sidmouth Town East Devon South West

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."🇬🇧🇳🇿

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

The food we had was delicious 😋 very tasty and well presented. The chef clearly has lots of experience and understanding of producing interesting dishes

Always head to the courtyard for our tradey Friday club. Food is always spot on and the staff are friendly 👍

Lovely restaurant in Sidmouth town centre. Pleasantly busy on a wet and windy Saturday night. Good food / fish was excellent. Reasonable prices and lovely friendly service. Great addition to Siddders!

Sadly for me and for the Sidmouth vibe G&O has closed with no re-opening date available. Sad loss. Hope it comes back. Had a great evening here with excellent food and wine. The decor is clever and brings the vast, high ceiling of the old Post Office down into the bar. Recently under new ownership the bar delivers really good food that compliments the excellent choice of wines. Live music will become a staple of the bar, especially jazz and it is very well worth a visit for either a great wine or an interesting meal. Griff and Simone, the new owners, are warm and hospitable and took time to chat and share their vision for G&O. All the very best.

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.

Excellent staff! Very clean! Lovely place ran by a wonderful family! Great Sunday Lunches as well as monthly Curry nights.

Upon our arrival at The Bedford, having reserved a table for a Wednesday lunch, we noticed the restaurant was quite empty. The festive ambiance, considering the time of year, was minimal, limited to a lone Christmas tree. Our orders were promptly taken, and the food arrived within an acceptable time frame. While the portion of fish and chips (£15 at the time of writing ) was generous, the cod lacked the expected flakiness, suggesting it might have been frozen and defrosted, resulting in a somewhat flavorless experience. The smoked haddock risotto, described as having a cheese glaze, arrived with normal long-grain/basmati rice submerged under a thick layer of cheese, exhibiting an unpleasant texture and taste. Although the hostess inquired about our meals, she left before we could provide comprehensive feedback. No other patrons arrived during our visit, and, regrettably, we don't plan to return in the near future

We had a fantastic bab and ice cream yesterday the Christmas switch on was amazing the Christmas pudding ice cream different taste like Christmas pudding it was lovely

Best Indian I have ever had. I live and travel from Newton abbot to come here for the food, especially the Paneer Korma! Thank you 🧡

Visitors to Sidmouth. Soup was amazing with gluten free bread. A lovely glass of red wine too. Tom was exceptional, he welcomes everyone with kindness and a smile. A real asset to the business!!!

Likely the best pasties and cakes in the SW ! Absolutely phenomenal find !

Visited today with my elderly mother with very specific requirements on colour and style. Staff were extremely helpful and it felt like most of the ladies wear team were looking after us. Thank you so much

Lovely meal on a Saturday in November. A warm dry space out of the cold. On the first floor looking down on the main street, good for people watching. We had fish and chips, freshly cooked, katsu curry and the special of monkfish in a lobster sauce, all delicious. One bailies cheesecake. Recommend a visit. Patient service
