The best restaurants in North Devon South West

The food and service from Justin and Julia are fantastic. They are consistently brilliant. The food is warm and hearty and although the menu is extensive, each meal is of the same quality as the next. Last night we ate the Mediterranean carrots, mushrooms in Stilton, fantastic fish pie (Julia’s nan’s recipe), massive lamb chops and pork fillet and they were all beautiful. Try your best to leave room for dessert but if you don’t have room, order one anyway… You’ll want it once it’s there.

Great location lovely pub friendly staff and excellent food. We are fairly local but decided to go a little bit further on our week off to try different places. Best meal of the week will be going back soon

Incredible food. In croyde with a party of 44 people - used Biff for the food on the beach. Arrived hot and delicious. Everyone in the party raved about the food. Later in the week 6 of us visited for Japanese night and again we were not disappointed. So so tasty. So much so we went back for breakfast the next morning. No photos to show because the food was pretty much gone before we thought about it! Wish we lived closer because the food is unreal, but a 10 hour round trip for dinner is probably pushing it 😂

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.

We wanted to recommend this lovely cafe as not only did we get a really delicious cream tea , but the man who runs it with his wife went out of his way to accommodate us. We were on a short visit to Devon and so excited to have a cream tea - it was late in the day but he kindly put more scones in the oven and allowed us to stay on after he should have closed! So we had warm scones with all the trimmings. He also had a selection of home made cakes so we were able to take those with us . Huge thanks to him for his kindness and to his wife who is obviously a superb baker !

Welcoming, quiant, yummy! Do not miss this little gem if you're staying in North Devon. Loved everything about this place.

Second visit to Rockleigh Takeaway and managed to have the Beef Stroganoff this time. Delicious it was too. As was the Thai Fish Curry. Really enjoyed it and generous portion too.

This was our sixth visit and the food and service were spot on as they always are. We had beef and pork which were lovely, with the best roasties and veg around, followed by Martin's delicious pavlova. We don't get here often but last year we had our wedding reception here, we came back two days later to eat and then again on our first anniversary. I think that says it all.

Lovely place! Friendly staff, clean toilet and the soup was awesome!! As was the coconut flapjack and hot choc 😍 A great way to end a good breezy walk.

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

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.

Just amazing! Went for lunch on Saturday with my partner and my parents and the food was absolutely delicious. We were running late and that wasn’t a problem at all. Really busy and a great atmosphere. Best curry I’ve had and it’s so refreshing to have somewhere in the south west like it. Great service and will absolutely be back again! Great value for money and massive portions. And you’re not rushed at all. Nice and laid back. It’s a yes from us!

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.

Greatest burger I've had! Sailing around you occasionally find hidden gems like this, now it's going to be impossible to sail anywhere near ilfracombe without stopping for a burger. I'm even staying an extra night so I can try another one. Cheers lads 10/10
