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.

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

Excellent seafood restaurant. My sole was beautifully cooked. Friendly and attentive service.

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

This charming little cafe offers an incredible variety of flavours, from classic favourites to unique creations. Every scoop is smooth, fresh, and absolutely delightful.

Can across this lovely place by accident. Perfect service , food and atmosphere. Gluten free options readily available and delicious.

If you’re ever in Sidmouth and looking for a cozy spot with incredible food and even better service, look no further than Selley’s! Julia and Richard have truly created a hidden gem that has quickly become my favourite café in town. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. But what truly sets Selley’s apart is Richard’s homemade ginger cake. It’s nothing short of divine – moist, perfectly spiced, and the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. You can tell it’s made with love and expertise. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or spending a relaxing afternoon, the food and service at Selley’s never disappoint. A true Sidmouth treasure, and I can’t recommend it enough!
