The best restaurants in North Devon South West

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

Lovely place and absolutely the nicest and freshest scones I’ve ever had (and believe me I’ve had A LOT!!!!) We will definitely visit again the next time we’re in Ilfracombe.

This was so welcoming into what felt like the Chef’s home. It was cosy, the ambience was superb. The food was truly delicious and what was real, we felt we were part of the family. The tastes of the various dishes was just amazing and every dish was so different. The Chef was accompanied by his lovely wife and son who were amazing and helped make the family atmosphere with such a famous chef at the helm.

Very tasty ice-cream, friendly service and great location. Seemed the more popular ice cream place nearby, which is q good sign. Not particularly cheap, but no where is nowadays. Definitely recommend

We visited this wonderful place whilst on holiday and it’s absolutely stunning. I loved the detailed decor and the vibe. The food is all made freshly on site. We had cake and coffee and my son had the vegan beans and sausage on toast and it’s safe to say we have all devoured our food.

I booked a table here for myself, husband, daughter and her boyfriend after reading the 5 star reviews. We had to pre-book our food as everything is ordered in fresh. If I’m honest on first impressions even though Cathryn was really friendly I found it a bit strange ringing the doorbell and it was so quiet but believe me the service was second to none, the food was absolutely perfect and cooked beautifully and Cathryn was so welcoming and accommodating, she was a true gem. We will definitely go back next time we are in Lynmouth.

A lovely treat! My husband and I went to Willow's Tearoom in Landkey, North Devon. I had a lovely pot of tea with a homemade scone, cream and strawberry conserve, my husband had ginger sponge with custard and a double espresso. All vegan! It was fantastic! The food was beautifully cooked and tasted amazing. The owner was incredibly friendly and we can't speak highly enough of Willows. If you are visiting North Devon check their opening times and treat yourself!

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.

We were a large group dining here to celebrate two of our friend’s birthdays, and it’s safe to say we’ll be coming back to celebrate every occasion and more! The restaurant and outside spaces are beautiful, the staff were fantastic and really looked after us, and the food was exceptional!!

The best burger I have eaten, all the smash burgers and chicken burger were delicious, seasoned and served with a smile. What a view as well, a visit here can’t be missed!

Great service, excellent coffee, great cakes. We were staying in coombe Martin for 3 days, and visited the cafe on each of the 3 days we were there. Lovely

The food was delicious and so fresh!! You can tell a lot of care & consideration has gone into the cooking. I didn’t catch the ladies name running it but she was very friendly, warm & welcoming also. It’s so lovely to see new and interesting places popping up in Lynton/ Lynmouth. We’ll be back!!

Had a lovely stop mid-mooch in Barnstaple for a cuppa & cake. Owner was friendly & helpful, giving good recommendations on which treats to pick. Took some pics for us which was appreciated. Cakes were delicious!

Comfortable surroundings, friendly staff, excellent menu, good prices. I had delicious Eggs Benedict- perfectly cooked and served up on two hash browns. This is my favourite place to eat in Barnstaple.

Offering a range of real coffees from the van. Small seating area. Great coffee and reasonably priced.
