The best restaurants in East Devon South West

What an absolute gem of a place. We were greeted warmly by Helen and offered a variety of seating options, in a truly beautiful establishment. The service, food, ambiance were perfect. All of the staff were friendly and efficient. Another important factor is that the toilets were spotlessly clean and finally, but most importantly, it is dog friendly! I wish I lived nearer, as I would visit this place daily. Thoroughly recommend.

Drove from Exeter to have breakfast on Sunday morning. Glad we arrived early as it obviously gets busy. Excellent coffee and freshly made breakfast. Cinnamon toast was delicious. Cannot recommend this place highly enough lovely atmosphere and great service

Incredible food cooked to perfection, nice and fresh really affordable and a decent portion size, will deffo be using this chip shop more than the others now, owner really friendly and passionate about the food he cooks too

Decent coffee, however the woman working was so rude it ruined my experience (blonde, wearing a dress and early thirties?) she just made me feel like an inconvenience for wanting to pay. Also the counter was very cluttered and messy, it did not look fully hygienic, she could of spent her time cleaning that rather than doing nothing for the full duration of my visit. Overall I won't be returning and I don't recommend higgler cafe to anyone (at least while she's working).

Came here as a family of five, over three generations. Food was amazing and staff very friendly and accommodating all our requests. Will definitely be visiting again.

So, I’m quite partial to a waffle both savoury and sweet and I happen to think I am a bit of an expert lol. I had the Biscoff Waffle and it was so freaking awesome that I nearly went back again that evening (even though I was so full and knew I wouldn’t have been able to eat two). The waffle is superb and the texture is on point, the topping was perfect and a good ratio to waffle. Guys whatever you are doing, keep doing it as what you produced was the best I’ve ever had and I will be back!!!

Questa mattina ci siamo fermati davanti a questo locale attirati dall'insegna, che lo spaccia per sala da tè. In realtà attualmente è un negozio di ninnoli e teiere gestito da una anziana e simpatica signora molto in gamba che ha adibito una sola piccola stanza (in vetrina) alla ristorazione con solo tre tavolinetti apparecchiati. La signora ha pronte due o tre torte da accompagnare a una tazza di tè. Dopo qualche minuto sono arrivate quattro amiche inglesi molto anziane ma assai in gamba a prendere il tè e a fare conversazione. Un bellissimo contesto inglese di altri tempi, ormai sempre più raro. Ottimi l'earl grey tea e la ciambella al caramello salato. Ero ospite e non ho pagato il conto ma non credo che fosse eccessivo.

Absolutely beautiful warm and welcoming cafe..very reasonable prices and really enjoyed browsing the Christian books. The volunteers were very lovely and chatting to my toddler I Nanny. I really enjoyed the light environment and didn't want to leave! Very very sad to hear it will close fully by March 2025. I wanted to start returning regularly..also a brilliant outreach tool to share Jesus! Thankyou so much Emma and Florence

i don't even bring my car to the car wash, i have and they always do a fabulous job, i just can't afford it, it's not expensive but i can't afford for someone to clean my car unless it's a treat, but the food is good xx

Excellent service and friendly staff. The menu is great and the service is excellent. We enjoy popping in and grabbing a bite to eat here.

Aunque un tranquilo restaurante Lillie la comida y el personal es genial. Es fácil de encontrar y de acceso. También tienen habitaciones que conozco son encantadores.

Visited with friends yesterday evening and am very pleased to leave a review, having eaten a 3 lovely courses, drank some nice Italian beer and an “on the house limoncello” Nice setting, friendly staff, reasonably priced quality food. Well done Bellino ! Will definitely return soon.

A good idea & the food we chose we enjoyed : Ghujarati lamb mince delicious, Kerala chicken meant to be cooked in coconut milk but no flavour of that at all. Tasty dish. Rice was unseasoned. Onion bahjis very good indeed. Veg samosas unseasoned. Coriander sauce delicious. Bread good but nothing special. All well packaged & service was excellent. It was very good value for us as the above was enough for 2 meals for 2.

Good service, great food for a reasonable price. Loads of choice (possibly too much!). Would definitely eat again if I’m in the area.

We have just had breakfast and it was very good value for money very well presented and great quality definitely value for money.
