The best restaurants in Teignbridge South West

It is the worst rated Chinese takeaway in town, but I have to say some food that I had was actually pretty good and authentic. Good: egg foo young and chow mein. The meat was tender and juicy. Eggs were fluffy. Noodles were thin, crinkly, and saucy. Bad: fried chicken wings and fried rice.

Love Market House Fish n Chips, so sad what’s happened to them and I can’t wait to order from them once they are back up and running 👍👍

Popped in the shop as it was handy whilst shopping but can honestly say it will be the last ...there is a reason it has a bad reputation! I went in to buy a baguette and roll I had a ten pound note the amount came up to £7 and the girl gave me £2 pound change....basic maths but basic staff so I'm not at all surprised? I've been living in the town for a short period and the overall sight and disinterest with shop workers is unbelievable? They honestly couldn't care less it's sad to see it really is. It didn't help that the girl in Greggs along with her colleague were more interested in sorting a name badge and kept me waiting!!!! ( It's quite simple as soon as you see a member of the public you engage in polite, friendly, quick service!!! I know most of them would prefer to be sat at home messing with their phones but there actually individual's out there who would love that position and Excel in doing it correctly so think on.

Two of us had lunch here today. I am a gluten free/dairy free diabetic and my friend has an allergy to nuts. As you can imagine in many places this can cause a problem; but our server, Kerry went out of her way to be helpful and even brought a separate dish of butter free vegetables to the table for me. She was friendly and efficient and a credit to the Passage House Inn.

Everything about Brightside (as it’s now called) is just really good: there’s an extensive range of food freshly cooked to order, the decor is bright and sunny and all the staff we met were very friendly and most helpful, It was a pleasure throughout and we look forward to returning. Highly recommended.

Awful, was expecting a really nice carvery as it used to be, the place has really gone downhill, I’m convinced all the food was yesterdays warmed up, 12:30 was our booking Meat was ok, that’s it, everything was so dry the cauliflower cheese was dried to the tin, only stumps left, the dauphinois were again stuck to the pan and dried out We were given the wrong wine, the lager was ok, we didn’t complain just paid our money, left and they won’t be seeing us again

Top quality food and service, pricey but as they say "you get what you pay for" and we certainly did - worth every penny. Food ingredients were obviously first class locally sourced from the sausage roll to the coffees, from the milkshakes to the fries - homemade mayo, nice touch! Service excellent from young staff and old and immaculate surroundings and deco. Feedback from ladies toilet - could have a better quality soap to keep up with the other exceptionally high standards! Thanks very much.

All I can say is how amazing customer service is here I was served by all three of Tensi, Tasha and mark and all three are such hard working individuals and giving it their all even with people becoming difficult as a barista/ manager I’d be super proud of how well this team is I hope they continue to work hard and keep giving their amazing customer service they are a asset to Costa

We came for Sunday carvery when we visited Dawlish. The food was good, although the beef was a bit chewy. The Yorkshire puddings were huge. Service was quick and friendly and the Covid-19 set up was good. We would return if we came back to the area.

Went to the sloop on Saturday evening the service was rubbish one meal was wrong when brought out the waiter was rude and said I suppose we can change it but your have to wait there was no onions or peppers with the mix it up steak and the steak was fatty

I thought this place might be a little pretentious as it's a bistro. However, it's a down to earth restaurant, and serves excellent home made food. The portions are generous and the menu has plenty of variety. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing.

We've stayed at Finlake several times over the years and therefore visited The Retreat on numerous occasions. Obviously this is just our personal opinion but for us it just isn't going in the right direction. Years back, when everything was newly built, it was reasonably priced, good selection and always busy (in a good way). Our previous visit, things had got a bit more expensive but service was still good. This visit (during school half term) we booked a table, expecting it to be busy. When we got there it was empty and there was no longer table service. The prices have increased markedly. Chicken Pasta at £23 is just crazy. A 250ml glass of Wine is £8.10. For a typical family of 4, it seriously adds up over the week! But...the food that we did have was very good and piping hot. Sadly with the lack of choice and high prices, we didn't eat here during the remainder of our stay.

We have been using this place for take aways for over 10 years although not so much recently after celebrating our anniversary! We decided to eat in and the food was very good with no 'after effects'. However, I was very disappointed with the loo which felt tired and in need of decoration... the door was filthy from years of use and a simple coat of paint would have gone a long way! It's all in the detail... we won't eat in again.

I went to the grange for a nice Sunday roast with my family and most of us came back sad disappointed and a bit angry. The potatoes were hard and what seems to be Stale the vegetables were near inedible. I will say the meat was really nice but what really made us all sad and disappointed the kitchen staff were really rude. Other than young lady on the till a couple others. Safe to say I won’t be going back in a rush and definitely will not recommend to others.

Amazing place. I take a lady with dementia and the staff are extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone. If you are vegetarian or vegan there isnt much choice but there is certainly more choice then meat eaters get in a vegetarian restaurant. Keep up the good work guys
