The best restaurants in Ilfracombe Central North Devon South West

A great little tapas restaurant. Small menu but perfectly executed. Unlike some tapas places they let you order a few dishes at a time. Everything we had was delicious. Service was lovely. Recommended.

This little tea room was the perfect place to stop. Everything was homemade and delicious (especially the scones!). Service was friendly and I would recommend to everyone to stop for food and especially if you are looking for a proper cream tea!!

We've visited several times recently for drinks. It's always been very busy, particularly the outdoor area if the weather has been good. It is dog friendly both inside and out. The decor inside is good; interesting, modern and quirky. The staff are pleasant, service is good.

We visited this restaurant whilst in town for a few days, it’s a small place so make sure you book. The food was very good, well presented and perfectly seasoned. The service too was attentive and friendly. We would happily come here again, it’s a very good and well ran place.

We popped by and had the most beautiful lemon and raspberry meringue and cinnamon buns EVER! iced coffee was a godsend in the heat also pup friendly and such reasonable pricing.

Beautiful haddock cooked while we waited. Friendly and helpful staff. Five stars all round

Wow! We stayed overnight in Ilfracombe and booked dinner at this fantastic little family run restaurant in the heart of the harbour area. Hosted by Tara, gliding between just ten or so tables, with her son Sean smiling and chatting, and husband John in the kitchen this is just a complete gem, full of atmosphere and bonhomie. The menu is so well designed with specials of the day based on that day’s catch, and is complimented with a very good wine selection. Our food was delicious! You must not miss the wonderful welcome, the freshest fish dishes and the awesome ambience at Thyme Fish Restaurant.

Cannot give any stars as place didn't seem to exist, followed map and 3 promenard is a double fronted place with sofa's no name on the front and closed although on checking for places to eat said it was open, did show any signs of being somewhere to eat.

We had the displeasure of fish n chips today worst fish I have had no taste to the cod and the batter was soggy and greasy if you check the bin next to the harbour car park it’s in their uneaten £14 what a joke

Well the coffee was great, went back again and it was still great. The cinnamon swirl was great how do you choose with so much lovely cakes on offer, Missed out on the Victorian sponge wonder if they could post me a few slices.

Booked for my wife’s birthday lunch apart from the weather being a bit fresh . We were supply blankets and a hot drink. The fish food platter was amazing value Can’t wait to return

Am so pleased that the Hip has had their refit, so comfortable for a great evening meal but they are still doing their breakfasts on a Saturday too. The menu is lovely, garlic prawns scrumptious.

We were looking around for somewhere to have lunch and were so pleased to find this place! Friendly, calm atmosphere and welcoming staff. Nice decor. Wide range on menu. Partner and daughter were delighted with their ‘full English’s’ and I loved my chicken ciabatta. Great portion sizes and well priced. Food was good quality and nicely presented. Happy to recommend!

Nice little spot to stop and have lunch. Dog friendly and homely feel in the garden. There are plenty of small cheeky birds looking for crumbs and just a nice atmosphere all around. The menu is basic and affordable, and the welcome was a warm one. Overall, a nice spot for lunch.

Inexpensive for Ilfracombe. Freshly cooked food, and great service. Good portions too. Recommended.
