The best restaurants in Plymouth South West

Top notch food and service! We booked a romantic dinner for two, 30th Oct. The fish platter was just amazing! Cooked to perfection. Staff, we're freindly and professinol. We would highly reccomend, and we would visit again when we're back in the area.

The Chancel has been one of our favourite places to eat in Plymouth for many years. During Covid and a bit longer they’ve been delivering or preparing for collection. Without much thought or any foreknowledge we walked down this evening hoping it might up and running for their traditional bistro food and good wines. Very disappointed therefore to find it dark, empty and will a To Let sign. No hint that there might still be an online service. Pity and we’re sad. Many dozens of happy memories.

Our first time sailing from Plymouth. We decided to to book a table at the Dock. Lovely welcome where we were advised that food would be served from 17.00. No problem we sat and enjoyed the view. Great food and superb service. We will be back.

Our visit was on the 8th of November 2024. Just the two of us. Booked online a couple weeks in advance and received email confirmation of the booking. Staff are very attentive and thorough - they are obviously well drilled and experienced. Efficient and polite, could perhaps be a little more friendly, there was a younger waitress that was very friendly and smiling. Extensive menu. We went for the set menu B for two people with added soft noodles. All the food, from starters, to duck course, the the mains and sides were very good and served quickly, but never rushed. Plenty of food for two people. Very well priced. Around £70 for two of us with drinks, starters, crispy duck, 3 main dishes and 3 sides of fried rice, vegetables and noodles. Would happily go again. The takeaway menu is the same menu, but 20% cheaper.

Really good service and food. Will definitely be back

Three of us came in for informal supper. Booked but not necessary, maybe half full. Deal of £25 for two portions of fish and ships, geared towards couples but we have to pay about £17 for a third. The girls serving seemed to be getting edgy towards the end maybe because there seemed to be a group of their friends towards end of evening.

We booked a private room at the Tudor Rose Tearooms for a baby celebration with family. We had their afternoon tea. The scones and cakes were delicious. They did a vegetarian option as well. The service was brilliant, I called the change the numbers several times and they were really accommodating and polite, even when I added another one when we arrived. They helped us take a group photo and provided some take-away containers as we couldn't finish all the food. There were 16 of us in the end and we had some space for the games. The room is small so that's something to bear in mind if looking at booking for a party, but it was exactly what we wanted. I would book again. Thank you Tudor Rose for your hospitality!

Another good meal at the Meze Grill. Only complaint was the muscles starter I had had about a third of them in opened but apart from that another great dinning experience here.

Our group of eight visited a restaurant in Plymouth and were so delighted with our experience on the first night that we dined there for the remaining two nights of our stay. The extensive menu catered to all preferences, offering great value, and the friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere contributed to a memorable weekend in Plymouth. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

Love this place, so friendly and with beautiful views out to sea looking across to Plymouth Hoe, Mount Edgecombe and Drakes Island

This is a great live entertainment venue, real ales are to die for, don't sit under the roof leak

The food was absolutely amazing! Went in for our anniversary tonight and was not disappointed. First time visiting and we are already planning our next visit (partner is planning on trying the WHOLE menu). Staff were so lovely and friendly, nothing was to much trouble for them. Thank you for making our evening so enjoyable.

Continues to get better, another takeaway order, another amazing meal, the sesame chicken in sticky sauce is incredible, the Singapore noodles are a consistent order favourite. Arrived hot, fresh and fast, with usual vibrant flavours. Highly recommend this place 👌

Excellent food however a disappointing service. Multiple staff were available however lacked attention to detail. Our water jug would remain empty unless prompt for more water, our cutlery were casually placed by the younger waiter. Forgotten orders. During our entire 3 course meal, no one cares to take away the empty drink glasses or ask whether we would like any more drinks. In general, 3/5 for service and 5/5 for food. The food was impeccable, well-presented and en point. The 'manager' walked past our table a few times, looking over the table, but didn't notice empty drink glasses, empty water jug etc - quite disappointed at the standards of services for such a lovely venue.

We held my daughter’s surprise baby shower for lunch here and it was amazing. From when we first booked it to until we left, the service was exceptional, they were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and so much choice. You definitely need to try the cocktails as well. I definitely recommend Desire, we all said we will be returning.
