The best restaurants in Lynton and Lynmouth North Devon South West

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.

Geweldige scones en supervriendelijk personeel. Heerlijke plek vlak bij zee. Prijs kwaliteit excellent. Pareltje wat door veel mensen nog niet is ontdekt

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

Path up from Lymouth central car park (free after 6pm) is steep but steps are well lit. Ring the bell for entry! Only a few tables available to cover hotel guests and non-residents, so be sure to book. Food must be pre ordered, but is then timed beautifully. Staff could not be more helpful. Whole atmosphere is so different to some modern sea-side facilities, we appreciated the care taken and interesting decor (local pottery figues, wall of interesting mirrors). But access may be a problem to some.

Fabulous Italian food very well cooked and prepared by great people. Whether you have pizza or pasta you won't be disappointed. The starters are rather filling so be warned as the main courses need to be done justice to, the chicken fusili or the carbonara are both awesome as are the freshly made pizzas which you can design yourself. Add to this a good selection of wine, cocktails and limoncello than you have a great time to look forward to. Just remember to book a table as it's a small place. Even better book for two nights, one for pasta and one for pizza!

An excellent find for cream teas, which was our lunch. Great food, fabulous staff, squashy sofas with a great view. Have never had such great choices for a cream tea.

Two words “truly amazing” Stayed just up road and walking past on arrival into Lynton the food aroma was inviting. Second day we called in couldn’t resist. The Service was super friendly like talking to an old friend. You don’t get massive choice but each week a selection of amazing dishes which is a benefit rather than a negative. Most places offer wider options but this can affect quality, Spicy Mare offers a small selection that works well together ultimately improving the quality and experience. You will not be disappointed

Great cocktails, fab food that we brought back our holiday home to heat up in the oven. Lovely staff, would highly recommend. Hope to pay another visit whilst we are here! Thank you Amy and Dan

My husband and I decided to try A Little Deli Takeaway and we were so glad we did the Gourmet rolls were delicious all fresh and made to order also tried the pasty’s and sausage rolls which were also delicious.We would definitely recommend and will use again when we are in Lynton !!

Fantastic “fire side evening event” meal of chickpea curry & sausage & mash for the kids. Really good value for money, good portions. The food was delicious and a really lovely atmosphere eating outside under the tarp with the fire going! We also stopped off for a takeaway cheese scone & coffees the day before - best cheese scone I’ve had in ages!

Absolutely fantastic. We were given an afternoon tea for a present and Caffyns Farm was the closest for us in Plymouth. The food was amazing, and very generous portions too, we came home with a doggy bag. There's a lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere, all the staff were absolutely lovely and it's very clean and tidy. Only criticism is that the toilets are upstairs (i walk with crutches). They also offer camping facilities and horse riding, not to mention feeding the goats in Goat Cafe lol while admiring the gorgeous views. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere nice, chilled and peaceful. Was well worth the 2 hour drive. Will definitely be going back in the future 😊😊

Stopped in for dinner as we were staying nearby. As others have said it’s not flash but the welcome, environment, views and food were amazing. The portions are huge and everything was freshly made, and tasted fantastic. It’s very dog-friendly and the goats are a great way to pass time up there too. Definitely recommend this place!

Okay...however not inspired to ever return. Service was without any urgency. I got the feeling that they would look forward to closing time.

Lovely restaurant with great personal service and a great choice of well cooked steaks. ( Along with a couple of non steak options. Excellent fat chips and sauces to accompany the steaks.
