The best restaurants in Ilfracombe Central North Devon South West

Stumbled across the cafe when we arrived in Ilfracombe and needed coffee. Quaint and characterful and clearly has it's regular customers. Coffee was good and hot but the homemade Eccles cake was amazing! The other treats looked good too. Coming across The Naked Cake cafe was the best thing about Ilfracombe which was otherwise, tatty and very down at heel.

A truly lovely cafe catering for both vegetarians and vegans, as well as carnists. The man working behind the counter was delightful, friendly and helpful.

Unbelievable lack of service. When I wanted to purchase two pasties there was a group of friends or family in front of me of the serving window blocking the way to the counter. I waited a minute or so, then one person said customer coming through, which I did. However, the chap behind the counter looked at me and continued his conversation without hesitation completely ignoring me. I waited to see if he would stop, then walked away, I’d never return nor recommend this place as this chap was so arrogant in his approach. How easy it is to lose business. There is no excuse for his behaviour. So sad.

First time been in here since the new ownership! we stayed and my friend sang on karoke. Friendly staff and relaxing pub.

We went on a hunt for icecream and stumbled across this brightly decorated cafe and just had to go in! My son and I chose milkshakes and my husband had a huge freakshake. It looked incredible! There are also paninis, baguettes and jacket potatoes on offer if you wanted to pop in for lunch and a massive selection of retro sweets to buy and take home. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Everything about this place was amazing! Food tasted great and staff were very accommodative (had a toddler with us). Nice little corner of toys too to keep the little ones busy.

Food was very good, but kept waiting for nearly two hours for food, which we had to ask for in the end. Two sides turned up after we had almost finished and a curry sauce never materialised. Great shame, as the food was lovely but the communication was dire. The manager brought us free drinks after the meal to apologise, but I have to say the customer service was very poor. A simple explanation of any issues would have helped but nothing was explained! Great shame.

Top notch food, if you have the patience to wait to be served. Very poorly managed chippy, with great food. You'll wait to be served after the person in front of you receives their food. This place could make 3x the business if they took your order whilst you're waiting! It was so frustrating, I'd be so disappointed if I were the owner.

What a beautiful shop! It’s also a restaurant. The staff are VERY helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We tried John Dory for the first time, delicious, we also had bass, mussels, crevettes, lobster, and some mixed seafood as a snack. Lovely place, must visit Our bbq was wonderful Thank you

Been there a few times Very welcoming friendly staff. The food was excellent could not fault it I would definitely recommend to eat there

Nice pub with open air top deck. This place is a cut above our local Wetherspoons although there's no atmosphere Can't say the same about the food at the Admiral Collingwood, Ilfracombe. Our breakfasts were served cold and the kitchen took too long to replace them. Odd, because the place wasn't busy. Refunded our money with no apology.

Great service and very clean a top spoons

Lovely coffee. Really nice staff.

One of the most amazing burgers I have ever eaten, it was a unanimous feeling of the group. The 1/2 pounder burger was insanely good, would genuinely make another trip just to eat that burger again! The food was hot and really tasty, just all round 10/10!

I rarely eat Indian food out as I can make it myself, considering its my native cuisine but this restaurant is exquisite! Flavours are to perfection! The staff are incredible, one gentleman in particular really made our night because of his incredible service! I’ll be back and telling everyone to try it out!
