The best restaurants in Totnes Town South Hams South West

We wanted a quick brunch and ordered the Baked Eggs. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait to allow it to bake. Fair enough! However when the dish arrived the sauce was watery and thin with no depth of flavour. The haricot beans were like bullets and the eggs were underdone. It tasted like a rush job as if a tin of tomatoes had just had the beans and eggs added. Not a sauce on which any time had been spent. Very disappointing!

We visited while on holiday and made a point of visiting just after they opened for breakfast. This place is clean, welcoming and we had a good wholesome breakfast which we could not fault (see photos). Well done everyone to them also for being cash only and supporting local farmers (as demonstrated by the ‘No Farmers, No Food’ sign in the window). Conveniently located if you have parked in the nearby car park and are off to shop in the lovely high street.

We booked a Sunday lunch here for a birthday, it was great ! We wanted to take a special bottle of wine with us, they only charged a very reasonable £5 corkage. Lovely setting.

So pleased we found this independent cafe hidden down a side street. Received a warm welcome and had a lovely lunch. The food was beautifully presented and was so tasty. Will definitely revisit when next in Totnes. Thank you so much.

What a great find, the tapas was fantastic! We ordered 3 vegetarian dishes each and that was plenty to share between us. We have a very good tapas restaurant where we live, so it was interesting to compare. There was a good mix of dishes we recognised and ones that were completely new to us. And who knew that cabbage could be so amazing as a tapas dish (Burnt Hisbi Cabbage)? It was a fabulous flavoursome meal from first bite to last!

The new location of the Hairy Barista is my go to place in town for everything good….. There is nothing these guys can do wrong in my eyes…. They serve great coffee, chai ( a definite favourite of mine)amongst many other interesting things inc Kombucha and Kefir drinks… I love their food offerings wether it be a simple filled croissant to their always hearty soups or specials. I will continue to support them as often as I can afford. They do things with the most amount of integrity and genuine passion and that means a lot in my world. You only have to look at how busy they are day to day to know they have hit a sweet spot 🙏🙏

During our month-long stay in Totnes, I visited our family at least four times a week at the Signal Box. I enjoy the sandwich selection, sausages, fish sticks, and hashbrowns, as do my grandsons. They are regulars. The staff is excellent, and the chef takes pride in the work.

Had lovely cake and hot drinks today Mulled wine was one of the best I’ve had for miles and miles Cakes lots of options really delicious and good value Vegan options Staff were mostly amazing one was quite moody and not very friendly but at the till we had a nice experience with the 2 ladies at the till they were lovely and helpful

Zappa’s has a great choice of salads, pies, cakes, smoothies and many other goodies, all plant based and much of it organic.. yay! Lovely staff, brilliant location and generous portions. We stayed in their delightful East meets West room above the cafe and enjoyed a very comfortable 3 nights, with everything we could have wanted. A large room with a super king sized bed and an en-suite with a beautiful bath made entirely of brass. It felt very indulgent, quirky in a really good way and with many luxurious touches .. they could charge a much higher room rate, the cost was extremely modest. Highly recommend the room we had and breakfast in the cafe was lovely.

Had a lovely lunch here with my daughter. I had a salad which was really fresh and presented nicely. My daughter had a panini which was also presented nicely and very tasty. Menu was good value with lots to choose from and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Stopped here while waiting for a bus. Had a lovely cappuccino and sausage roll. It was reasonably priced and the staff were nice too

We can’t pass the place on a market day without having a burger. The house sauce is to die for and very filling too! The two ladies (mother and daughter) who run it are great!) and the coffee is lovely too. What more could you want.

Just pop in for a coffee and croissant when I'm in town, good service, nice to sit and people watch, not too overly hot like some cafes are, and not too busy.

Me and my partner went here for dinner. We got a jacket potato with cheese and it was brown and grey all the way through and it looked like it had been dropped it was nearly completely flattened. I had cheesy chips and it looked like half of my chips was from the bottom of the fryer they was nearly completely empty and had no potato in them at all they was just crunchy like crisps. Very disappointed and the meal came to £12 so was expecting it to be at least edible.

Great visit lovely burger And great team.
