The best restaurants in Dartmouth and Kingswear South Hams South West

Popped in for Lunch whilst visiting Dartmouth and glad we found this Bistro The food was excellent and reasonably priced I had mixed seafood and it was lovely very nice place and pretty busy & we offered to shared our table with a couple of strangers and soon good chatting and having a great time, The owner appreciated us sharing the table as brought in a couple more customers who would otherwise have gone elsewhere, nice if others do the same - you never know you may get on and meet some lovely people will certainly return here the next time we go to Dartmouth

3 of us wanted a light impromptu lunch today. The food was nice . The welcome was non existent verging on hostile and any questions to the waitress were answered almost with disdain. This made for a horrible atmosphere and I couldn’t wait to leave . A shame as I remembered it as a lovely cafe .

This lovely little coffee shop is full of charm. Staff are very friendly and the coffee is excellent. I've been going every morning since being on holiday here in Dartmouth. It's a must for any coffee lover.

We had a great Sunday breakfast here with a view from the marina over to Dartmouth. The cooked breakfast was excellent, packed with good ingredients. We highly recommend for anyone staying in Kingswear and the passenger/car ferries to Dartmouth and the steam railway are just a few mins walk away.

The wonderful lady who runs this is an amazing hostess, delicious wines, tremendous crepes, great ambience, you could be in France! Will definitely come again, and bonus for us, dog friendly.

What a delight ! Thank you so much, the food was so fresh and delicious ! This is the second time I’ve been here …and again it did not disappoint , we had Camembert, baked with honey rosemary and pecans with olive bread ! Figs & prosciutto's balsamic basil glaze , spicy sausage paccheri , beef shin ravioli … lemon brioche , cheese board ! It’s like a tiny bit of Italy came to Dartmouth ! Thank you for a lovely afternoon , we will definitely be back , Mike & Phoebe are the perfect host x

A fantastic find in Kingswear, right by the steam railway , no need to cross to the busier side of Dartmouth. Great views and lovely simple Italian dishes

Been twice in two days. Was so impressed the first time that I went back the next day with my husband for lunch despite the number of cafes and coffee shops in town. Great coffee and hot drinks menu. The bacon sandwiches are freshly cooked, served piping hot in local sourdough. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Couldn’t find fault with anything we ordered.

Excellent coffee and cake here while waiting for our train trip. Owner very welcoming and friendly- especially to our border terrier! Cherry blondie recommended 👍

We visit The Flavell for coffee and cake quite often, and are always happy with the service and food. On this particular day we had lunch, soup which was a bit thin and bread, but quite nice. While I was drinking a coffee after my lunch, I looked towards the preparing area and to my surprise watched one of the ladies making a sandwich, she picked up the filling with her bare hands plus the salad and put it together between the slices of bread. While you might do this at home, I would have thought preparing food for customers would necessitate wearing some sort of hand covering. This has put me off eating sandwiches at the Flavel, and will stick to coffee and cake in future. At least the cakes are served from their display with tongs.

Little cafe/taverna in the old market. Chicken Souvlaki, Baklava and a coffee for lunch. Souvlaki was top notch, tangy yoghurt, crisp chips, well-seasoned chicken on a hot flatbread, and cost £7.50. What’s not to like. Excellent baklava and coffee too. Best food in Dartmouth.

My husband and I had tea and good toast sat outside this friendly cafe. A lovely, quiet area of town, I recommend a visit, especially on a sunny day.

This is a charming little cafe, tucked away behind the Old Market, well worth tracking down. Seats around ten inside and another handful outside, overlooking the little square. Excellent coffee, great bruschetta on sourdough, local cakes and toasted sandwiches. We tried the Gruyere, ham and Dijon mustard toastie, which was excellent. Fresh croissants and home-made cakes, too. Friendly, personal service.

We went on a bank holiday - was nice and busy with friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and a good mix of ages. DJ set was great too.

Working on our boat at Darthaven Marina this was a very welcome cafe where Katie greeted us with a smile and was efficient and helpful. We had numerous coffees and filled rolls which were excellent. The extra cover provided for showers during Dartmouth Regatta was particularly welcome.
