The best restaurants in Plymouth South West

Brilliant pub,great staff and management,made to feel safe and welcome, food was lovely too Klaus has been so good today,as always she is always cheerful and welcoming

A great coffee shop in a fantastic location at The Barbican. Coffee, tea and pastries were very good with an excellent choice. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Worth a visit when in the vicinity.

A lovely fresh cup of coffee to start your day in a good location. close to town with plenty of seating and friendly staff.

This was just the best breakfast. The team were so friendly and the food was amazing I completely recommend this, especially on a lazy Sunday morning 😁

I didn't have the food but it was clear it was very popular. Great bar staff, friendly and a great atmosphere 👍

A great pub! Very low key, in a good way. Some evenings have music. Locals and the staff all very friendly, and a nice range of beers, including lots of low alcohol choices.

Keep ringing me and putting the phone down!

We went for a Sunday lunch at the Italian formerly known as desire, this is now a Thai restaurant however still serve Sunday roasts. A bit confusing.. Food was good however, some smoked meats involved! Love that. We both enjoyed the meal, the wine was ok.

A great place to go for a relaxing meal, excellent customer service too.

Brilliant boxing day .lovely bar staff

Great little pub. Good atmosphere and pleasant environment 👌

We were staying at the hotel so thought we would try it out, have tried before when watching a show but couldn’t get a table. Was quite quiet when we came but the staff were very friendly and welcoming - the venue is nicely appointed with a relaxed atmosphere The menu is very well priced and the food was tasty, we had the steak and it was excellent! One of the best I have had in a long time Would recommend, will return

Really nice. The bagels are delicious with lots of different filling. I asked for something not on the board and they happily obliged. We also had cakes which were delicious too. I had a cardamon bun, like a Chelsea bun but nicer.

So, filled with graduation fever, we’re out celebrating. And what better spot to choose than an Italian Pizzaria set in one of Plymouth’s oldest buildings, Prysten House, built in the late 1400’s by Thomas Yogge, wine merchant of the day. The setting is gorgeous; think really old buildings with four foot thick flint walls, which makes you wonder how a workman might install a vent for a tumble dryer? We’re ushered to our table and then I glance at the menu. No starters? ‘It’s like an Italian Wagamamas dad’ didn’t help. So, trying to make sense of a surreal world, let’s use the ‘Sides’ as starters I proffered. Calamari, meatballs and Chicken Milanese all sounded like starters - so we went for that. ‘The sides usually do come slightly before the mains’ said our waitress- hope was in the air. I’ll go Calamari. Then a look to the mains, no pasta? Mmm. ‘It’s a pizza place dad.’ Ok. I’m cool. In terms of my comfort zone etiquette for eating out, the coups de gras ( sorry, don’t know it in Italian) was actually the water tumblers used as wine glasses. Red wine you can get away with as it’s served warmer than white and your hands encompass a tumbler. White with no stem? I’m showing my age. But the food- which is, after all, the point, was great. My Calamari was the best I’ve had. Soft, light and flavoursome. I can equally recommend the Courgette shoestring fries (Tempura prawns with courgette instead if you’re visualising it ) which were great. I then went for the Palma Farmer pizza with a splashing of chilli oil - great. Tasty and cooked really well. All things ‘Food’ were brill was our consensus. Well cooked and filled with flavour, which ever ‘flavour’ you chose to go for. We were too full for pud. Did the fact that the mains followed our ‘starters’ really swiftly lose something of the night. Strangely no. It’s a different vibe - and old gits like me need to chill about etiquette. Who cares anyway. Great place, great food and - different. Why not? I’d say give it a go. X

Fantastic food and lovely kind staff. Definitely recommend to come here for your next chinese takeaway!
