The best restaurants in North Devon South West

This place has shut down Didn’t even tell Google it’s closed

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.

Really lovely setting Staff and food excellent during a busy Sunday lunch service

Unfortunately we had an upsetting experience,I took two friends and my daughter with her guide dog .we were shown to the pet dog area I explained the law refusing access to guide dogs in areas that the public can go to but with no avail so we left it was my daughters Birthday treat .

Great breakfast and nice friendly pub. Breakfasts served Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. They also do lunches and Dinner.

Great food all freshly cooked. Good prices too. Extremely friendly helpful staff. Entertainment Saturday nights.

What a lovely friendly pub, we came for a weekend and visited twice, the pint system blowed me away, and lush to meet Winky and you, Rich & Wendy x

Stunning food. Danny the chief (and waiter) makes virtually everything from scratch including his mouth watering slaw, fish gumbo source, sticky chicken wings. A real chief and NOT another “re heat pretender”. Everything food wise is stunning. This isn’t a poshed up bistro pub with fake interior, but a local pub that has swapped licensees a few times over the last couple of years (the current management are here to stay and returned after being here before) so the decor is a bit tired. But it is a REAL local Nth Devon Pub that serves stunning food. You’ll notice that good food in Devon, costs as much as the big cities (portion here are bigger), but blame the exchequer for that, quiet winters and expensive suppliers. It’s not a cheap meal, but when you want to eat something of much higher standard than you can cook at home, this is one of our go to places. Probably the best food in the whole area that has a mixed menu.

Always good food here. Prices are reasonable. Good menu.

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.

Fast and friendly delivery man. Amazing food, one of best Chinese meals we’ve had for a while. We will definitely be back again

10/10 food and service! It's genuinely the best Indian food in Devon! Delicious fresh food that does also travel well if you decide to get a takeaway or delivery. Eaten there over 100 times and never had a less than perfect meal, I've become a regular and the friendly staff give my daughter a free naan and poppadoms when I bring her which is really nice of them. Good for a curry with the lads or a family experience!

Great location, all downhill from there. Corporate nightmare and narrow selection of ales

We both had 3 course and the food was amazing 10 out of 10 for every course. Iv never given such good marks. I even complement the chef. The waiting staff were fantastic aswell thankyou

Out & about I came across The Muddiford Inn decided to pop in for a light bite, ended up having a 3 course meal which was heavenly & enjoyed absolutely every part of it, the food has so much flavour and was beautifully presented. The pub is clean & nicely decorated with a lovely warm feel to it. Apparently a Family run business the young lady serving was so polite and professional & made the experience so delightful. Would highly recommend to any one in the area.
