The best restaurants in East Devon South West

An absolutely lovely place for a genteel lunch. We were a party of 9 with our own challenges (small child and aged grandparents). The staff could not have been more accommodating. The food was very good value and a nicely varied menu plus an interesting wine list. Well done!

Disappointing coffee, indifferent service and no toilets there or anywhere nearby apart from a different venue. Lots of plastic waste

Whenever in Sidmouth I always visit The Cheeseboard. There is a wide range of cheeses with the staff being very knowledgeable and offer expert advice. I always come away with a whole range of cheeses and always ensure that I have a good wedge of Devon Blue. As a bonus, having tried a range of cheeses, I know what to go for when ordering online.

Friendly greeting, tiny cafe, I wouldn’t call it wheelchair accessible but then I was just using a stick. A couple of small tables and some Bench tables with barstools that had a great view of the sea. I don’t think the food overpriced for. a ‘Cumberland’ sausage sandwich as advertised. But, the sausages were not Cumberland and if they weren’t available perhaps it would have nice to have the option to pick something else. The quality of the sausages was relatively poor. When we asked on leaving what they were, we were told they were produced by their own company. That I seriously doubt. The drinks were fine and a reasonable price for the location. We probably could have done without the conversation being had about the owners housemate and his mothers mental issues. We couldn’t help but overhear because it’s a small place!

Just back from a amazing meal as always a real hidden gem in Exmouth food to die for and service beyond impeccable

Probably the best hot chocolate you will ever drink! Nice food too. We had flat breads. Service though misses the mark. Very hard to get anybody’s attention. Had to ask for cutlery and napkins and took ages to arrive. Staff are very polite and friendly but maybe they just need more staff. Would recommend.

I arrived at the cafe with my son, and we were immediately told to move to a smaller table even though the cafe was empty. They asked if I could wait until 12pm for lunch, so I said I'd order drinks in the meantime. My son (aged 7) was finishing off a last bite of a sausage roll from the bakery and the waiter was very abrupt about no food from other places. We left and consequently they lost perhaps £20 in sale. I just felt like we were a hassle to and contrary to the sign saying 'all are welcome' we felt anything but.

We popped in for dinner on a quiet Thursday night at the end of October so weren't expecting much. The food was superb, the service exceptional and the atmosphere despite it being quiet was great. If you are stopping in Seaton or the surrounding area this place is definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous restaurant with great mexican cuisine at affordable prices. Great atmosphere and friendly, polite staff. Personally the best place to eat in Exmouth. I would strongly recommend.

Called in here whilst I was on holiday and I was self catering so took some sausage rolls away to eat and they were very nice as a treat and fresh - great service

Had a great breakfast there today, will definitely go back when we are nearby.

Was passing through for work and stumbled upon this place off a whim. Honestly some of the best tasting and most aunthentic food I've ever had. I enjoyed it so much I had it the following day too! The staff members and owner were so warm and personable and really made me feel welcome. Really affordable, excellent food, great atmosphere , brilliant service. What more can you ask for!

There can't be many places where both: A) A bottle of olive oil costs £45 (not a joke or exaggeration, actually true) B) The toilets are filthy.

Great carvery for Sunday lunch. Good value. Good table service for drinks, desserts etc.

We came to Duke's for dinner. Great service and tasty food.
