The best restaurants in East Devon South West

Very friendly greeting from the staff, We had the English breakfast and coffee, the food came very quickly and was piping hot. The ingredients were very good quality, we would not hesitate to recommend the Grazing Cow and would use again when in the area.

Tasty breakfast in a lovely spot with views over the water. We visited end of November, but in the Summer with all doors open this would be even better. Recommended.

Not open on Monday, disappointing as had been looking forward to lunch here, they really need to update opening hours 😫

Lovely, local cafe, extremely friendly staff, great home cooked food right by the beach. Food tasted fresh and it was well presented, and good portion sizes. Would highly recommend.

This was a fabulous find on a windy day with very few tea rooms or pubs open for food at this time of the year. Clean and tidy with tea rooms at the side of a gift shop (cards, bags etc). A lovely welcome and a simple menu. The ploughman’s lunch was a huge board with chunks of bread, two types of cheese, ham, pork pie & pickles etc. It was very good value and large enough to be a sharing platter.

Nice little pub in Seaton. Going to try the Sunday roast lunch this weekend.

One of the few cafes open on a December Monday so we went in for a coffee with our little dog. We were warmly welcomed and the shop was full, at least one group who obviously meet there regularly. We expected to get lunch at one of the pubs in town but the food looked so fresh we decided to go back and they reserved a table for us. Lunch was lovely and we took some sweet treats away to enjoy later. Will definitely go again next time we visit Sidmouth. Special thanks from Lola the Patterdale Terrier!

Great little " spit n sawdust " pub - the way pubs should be. Friendly locals and James ( manager ) very good with the punters

Stopped off on a day out and had the most beautiful cream tea , Real tea an added bonus . Very friendly and accommodating . A must for cream tea lovers .

Lovely afternoon Devon cream tea! The Cherry Bakewell scone was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, and judging by my waistline, I’ve had a few! Lovely setting, sat in the outside terrace in a warm afternoon! Will definitely make the effort to come here again on a trip to the wet country!

Lovely looking building but currently not in use. Apparently the National Trust is having difficulty finding a tenant. Check before visiting.

Fab place love the atmosphere, great pub

Hidden gem tucked away off the high street. Smart place with fireplace ,friendly staff. Good selection of food and drinks.

You know this place doesn't exist any more, right? It is now a fish and chip shop. Apparently it is good, but it is no longer a dairy , and does not serve ice cream home made on the premises any more- just so you know!

Lovely, polite staff who were very helpful in recommending dishes to suit our tastes. All meals were delicious. Have only used as takeaway before but will definitely return. It’s a “must try”!
