The best restaurants in 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

Emma provided a FABULOUS spread for 120 people following a funeral at Stoke Gabriel church. Everyone was catered for and the food was exceptional, most notably the crab cakes, samosas and scones, with jam and cream of course. Aunt and uncle have lived in the village for more than 50 years and have dined at Emma’s many times, always speaking MOST highly of the restaurant, food and Emma herself. Thank you!

Like what they said... Amazing food, different environment, social. Be aware there are a lot of small starters but you will be more than well fed by the end! Some great vegetarian alternatives. Excellent cocktails, wine, tremendous value.

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.

The best pistachio ice cream I’ve probably ever had, and I’ve tried many in Italy! I was disappointed that I had missed out on the tiramisu but not for too long because the creamy pistachio with a slight saltiness was heavenly

We’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. It’s a great unspoiled country pub with friendly owners. The menu has a good variety to choose from, portions are generous and everything is reasonably priced. The service is great and nothing is too much trouble. The Sunday menu is also excellent. Thoroughly recommended. We’ll be back!

Very clean, organised barn stop offering a good selection of cakes and snacks. Also a great variety of drink choices. Clean and tidy tables and toilets. All offered on an honesty basis. I hope people respect this trust and pay for a lovely place to stop and refuel.

Really chill vibes, just off the high street of salcombe so you miss the manic foot traffic. Really tasty food and beer and both the owner and staff were incredibly friendly. Would recommend to anyone in Salcombe who wants to stray from the usual pasties or pub grub and eat some healthy and delicious South African food.

Can we just say that it was absolutely the BEST Gluten Free Bakewell Tart we have had ! Keep it on the menu.. your pastry secret is safe with me ladies. Grest find of a dog friendly cafe with such a fabulous view, with such friendly staff and fantastic food. Who can also make a GF Bakewell Tart like that .a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!

What a wonderful place. We went for breakfast (8 of us) and loved it. The food was delicious (cooked breakfast), the service excellent and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent with allergies. The decor was retro which gave it a great feel. The sale of local products was an added bonus. We will definitely be visiting again before we finish our holiday. A cheeky piece of cake was taken away too. All the cakes looked delicious. The Lupin lady 😀

This little restaurant is an absolute gem. The food is delicious and the French ambiance is wonderful. Ilona is so welcoming and attentive to her guests.

I didn't eat in, pre ordered Takeaway - great menu, outdoor seating and music while waiting. Kind servers, good vibes. Recommended casual eats.

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.

What a delightful place to go for breakfast , we wandered in mainly because everywhere else didn’t open until 10am , We were very warmly welcomed , unfortunately I didn’t get the ladies name who looked after us , but she was friendly. Quirky nothing was to much trouble and the full English was freshly cooked ( we were told that because the sausages were freshly cooked there would be a wait ) Delicious local ingredients, the bubble and squeak was amazing . Wonderful coffee

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