The best restaurants in Sidmouth Town East Devon South West

Tried it for the first time today. Started with decaf Americano and coffee cake for a late elevenses, soon followed up with an early lunch consisting of their soup of the day with a warm cheese scone and lots of butter, and a second decaf Americano. Everything was excellent!

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

Found this great cafe whilst holidaying in Sidmouth. The eggs benedict were the best I have ever had. The full English was lovely too. We loved the service and the atmosphere, and friendliness of the place, so much so we returned every morning of our holiday for breakfast

We had crab meat taco and today's special which was fish trio. The fish was really fresh and tasty. Taco was not my cuppa, but my husband liked it. There were plenty of tables, staff was kind. We had a good lunch. A good place for lunch when you visit Sidmouth.

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.

Ate here for the first time today, I had the beef soup and my husband the lasagna. The service was great, really friendly and welcoming. The food is not overly fancy, just good honest homely food, done very well. The soup was a hearty serving packed with veg and big chunks of stewed beef, full of flavour and very filling. Lasagna is one of those dishes of which you can find mediocre versions on any pub menu, but this was something else. Proper, home-cooked, delicious. This is the kind of thing all cafes should aspire to: a simple menu but delivered perfectly. Loved it.

Lovely Brunch, well presented and very tasty, always consistent, our favourite place in Sidmouth, looking forward to our next visit.

It looks more like a 'caff' than a seafood restaurant but don't let that fool you - the menu is packed with fish and seafood and it's excellent.

Excellent food , friendly staff.

Superb service & knowledge on celiac disease. Gluten free chicken & chorizo pasties or cheese & onion pastie on offer. Everything was handled perfectly when we also purchased ice creams from using a new scoop to only serving ice cream that would not have been contaminated. Well done to all & thank you for making it so was for us yesterday.

Our favourite Indian. Always happy polite staff, Delicious food cooked to a high standard and of course, the main sign of a good indian takeaway..... extra poppadoms. How can you fault that? 😍

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

A good caring space with books, cards and excellent food/drink at reasonable prices. Such a pity that there is not enough resources (volunteers and cash) to keep it open.

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
