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

Such a beautiful café, lovely spot surrounded by the sea and beach, staff are super welcoming and friendly, food is cooked to quality and really flavoursome. I was served by a girl called Eva who just made the experience amazing,she was super friendly and accommodating, made a delicious coffee and served with a bright smile! Really recommend trying this place out it’s perfect for a stop in if you’re on a walk or or if you’re staying in the area and need a place to eat x

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!

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.

Food here is great. Decent portion sizes. They cater for gluten free well, from sandwiches to scones for cream tea. Mark running front of house services is great, friendly and entertaining. Wonderful place.

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

Visited today with my family, could not have been a more enjoyable experience. Attentive, accommodating and friendly staff. Ensured the 4 of us could sit together once another group had finished - making it much easier to keep an eye on our two little boys. Offered an easy alternative of baked beans on toast (though neither of our boys like that - think they're the only kids that don't!), but felt assured could ask for a very slight amendment to the sandwich offering for my eldest (6), we ordered our youngest (4) jam on toast which came with a selection of 4 jams! Exceeded expectations all round, expecting a loaf sized piece of lemon drizzle, when lemon cake was offered, instead it was a three layer lemon cake that was delicious, everything was really reasonably priced and delicious. Would recommend without hesitation and I don't know for sure, but it sounds like they provide some level of takeaway too, if you're looking for picnic bits. Thank you
