The best restaurants in North Devon South West

We travel over a 100 miles to visit, of course our family but also to eat at the New Inn. It is a treat. The variety of choice of menu. The exceptional quality of cooking and wine. The perfect setting and welcoming frendly service. Cannot wait until we visit again. Dawn H

Absolutely perfect street food! Food looked vibrant, colourful and most importantly it tasted delicious and was bursting with flavour. They've got some cool benches just by the van where you can sit and enjoy your food with a drink, or its a couple of minutes to Croyde beach which is a fantastic location to eat as the sun sets. Brilliant experience, really friendly service too.

Shame that this has closed and we were so fortunate to get there on the last day before it did. When we saw that it was still number one and also award winning, we had to return and we're not disappointed. We just hope that the other cafes in Lynmouth rise to the standards set for future visits.

The epitome of a Tea Room, leaf tea, China cups, plus excellent tea shop food. If you are in Barnstaple, ignore all the “coffee houses”, make your way to this Tea Room. Excellent service, good food, all at a reasonable price. We cannot recommend it more.

What a beautiful tea room set in a covered little courtyard. We discovered this place after reading amazing reviews. The scones are home made and absolutely delicious with a fresh filtered coffee. Although slightly hidden away, it is well worth a drive for afternoon tea

This spot is a perfect location next to Croyde Beach and the coastal path. I popped in for some lunch and coffee after a coastal run. The staff were super lovely and the coffee was top tier. This was my first time to the cafe and I would really recommend!

A much loved Ilfracombe gem! Down on the farm, Lisa and Martin go above and beyond to make you welcome. A cosy farmhouse with genuine chunky farmhouse tables, you just sit there expecting a herd of cows to wander past the window! Delicious freshly made food, Sunday roasts are to die for with a never-ending supply of the tastiest veg. You can't possibly leave without sampling Martin's 'mega pavlova' even if you are bursting at the seams! Great outdoor area complete with bubbling stream, beautiful for summer a bbq. Off the beaten track down a narrow winding lane. Find it, try it, meet the awesome team. You won't be disappointed 😊

Caroline has created a real gem. Very great and with a lot of love.

A lovely family restaurant. Best defined by what it is not; No red sugary sauces! Wonderful, authentic Indian food served with a smile. I will be back!

If your in North Devon, put this on your 'to do' list... Lovely cafe/Tea rooms in Croyde, great service. Enjoyed the cream tea scones and the cream cheese and pickle savoury scones. A wonderfully quaint old English tea room run by equally wonderful staff. Perfect food on a lovely sunny Sunday -thankyou!

Oh I just love this place! We went last night for a Bastille dinner. The food was spectacular, I had a vegetarian Wellington which was absolutely delicious, except it was enormous,covered nearly two thirds of the plate and I felt guilty leaving some. My husband had a steak which was perfectly cooked. This place has a fantastic atmosphere. Small but perfectly formed and buzzing with happy conversation. Thank you Anita Claire for another great meal and evening.

Best burger in ages! They even brought it to us at the pub across the street because they were out of hot food. Super nice guys! Thanks

The best restaurant in Devon - always excellent with great service. It’s so popular that you need to book months in advance. Highly recommend -you will not be disappointed.

This business did not re-open in 2024. Whilst the staff and food were clearly excellent the least they could have done was close the web presence. Our stay at Beach Cove was partly based on the 100 % 5 star ratings on Hele’s Kitchen, gutted when we got here to find it shut down.

Whist going for a spring stroll around town we popped in for coffee and lunch , lovely to be able to sit out in the warm sunshine and eat alfresco, great coffee , husband had a bacon sausage sandwich and my daughter a ham cheese panini delicious 😋 friendly staff reasonable prices we will definitely be back
