The best restaurants in Minehead North West Somerset South West

Magpies is a brilliant cafe. The food and coffee is amazing, especially the scones. It is so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend it.

What an absolute fantastic place run by volunteers. My partner had a breakfast and I had a cheese and bacon omelette.. so so tasty. Staff we're so kind and welcoming. We drove 200 miles to visit and it certinally did not disappoint. Folks 120% highly recommended and " THANKYOU "

Popped into this little treasure of a shop in Minehead. It’s like an Aladdin’s cave of treasures. I purchased a few brooches and had to try the bubble tea everyone is raving about. I was not disappointed. I tried the Dragon Fruit with Mango popping boba. What a treat for my taste buds 😋 . Will definately be popping in again. Also do deliveries and custom orders which is another bonus as I have my eye on an amazing jacket when payday comes around

Smash Corner, I will smash anyone who says these are not the best burgers in Minehead! After suffering a terrible defeat at the local elections, I decided to go for a holiday down by the seafront. Minehead, one of my favourite destinations. I loaded myself into my prized anti-aircraft cannon and fired myself across the Bristol Channel from Llantwit Major. As I was hurtling through the air at 200mph (a speed that would kill anybody who wasn't an immortal wizard), I had just enough time to think about the world. Where was Cedric these days? Last I heard he'd been arrested for stealing a clown car. His getaway plan fell apart. Does the Pontardawe Inn miss me? Probably... I wonder why I never got a reply? I finished my thoughts just in time to see the quay at the end of Minehead and deploy my parachute. The parachute was made of seagull feathers held together with the elastic from my mother's knickers. I landed with a little bit of a thud on the beach; some people looked a little confused. "Do not fear! Bernard LeCox is here!" I exclaimed excitedly as I dusted off the sand from my green peacock feather cape. A small child was crying, so I said, "Fear not, young child. I am Bernard LeCox. I am here to rid your town of terrible food!" I marched, a man on a mission, up the main high street. It was then that a smell came to my nostrils. My march turned into a sprint as I followed the scent to an open-fronted cafe, Smash Corner. I was famished and ordered. I ordered a Pedro's Burger and a Double Classic Smash Burger. I spoke to the pleasant owner, who was very proud of his fresh produce and how everything he used was fresh. How he and his wife set up the business as a Hungarian bakery but when the opportunity to expand arose, they took the bull by the horns (Something I know all about, as I used to be a Spanish bullfighter, Manuel DeLaCox. Didn't end well. It's why to this day I have a phobia of red underwear). When my burgers arrived, I sat down and opened the boxes. Wow. What amazing food, and the smell was outstanding. Tender burger. Creamy cheese sauce. Crispy bacon. Sweet brioche bun. My one and only criticism is that the steak was a little tough. Not inedible, just compared to the brilliance of the rest of the burger, a little let down. I thanked the owner for a delicious meal and moved on, looking for my next stop on my Minehead excursion. Smash Corner 4.5/5 (Excellent food and excellent service.)

We love eating here! A little slice of Italy in Minehead Cristina creates the most delicious food that will keep you coming back for more! Whilst Gavin is a great host and looks after your every need, making everyone feel welcome. I can't wait to visit again!

Delicious and great value for money

Such a lovely place to go for coffee and something to eat in Minehead. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always a nice mix of regulars and visitors, all made to feel equally welcome.

We were looking for a light lunch as we intended to eat a main meal in the evening. Unusually we took the leap and climbed two flights of stairs to the delightful cafe on 2 nd floor overlooking the Parade The staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Two of the party had a variety of Ploughmans lunch the cheese was ample and the ham was thick gammon ham. I ate a smoked mackerel salad delicious. The fourth had a prawn sandwich with a glass of wine. Highly recommend for all.

What an absolute delight Toddy’s Café turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, genuine welcome that set the tone for a fantastic experience. The service was impeccable – friendly, attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear the staff take real pride in what they do, and it makes all the difference. As for the food – wow! Everything was freshly cooked, generous in portion, and absolutely delicious. Whether it was the hearty breakfast, a perfectly brewed coffee, or one of their homemade cakes, every bite was spot on. You can taste the quality and care in every dish. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back the very next day. A proper café with proper service and top-notch food – a rare find these days. Highly recommended if you’re in Minehead. We’ll definitely be back!

Really lovely pub. With swift service to get a swift pint.

Stopped in for lunch and the food and staff were amazing. Good quality food that is reasonably priced and is also dog friendly,

We were walking down the street in Minehead looking for lunch at a dog friendly cafe and was asked by a friendly lady if we needed directions. She suggested the Toucan cafe as it sold excellent food. We followed her advice and were certainly not disappointed; the food was delicious and it had a lovely ambience. We had toasted sandwiches with side salad and either a smoothie or a latte. Would recommend and will certainly visit again if we return to this area.

Good service. Nice breakfast bap. Cheesy chips needed more cheese. Pleasant location by the harbour.

Enjoyed a superb all day breakfast for lunch! It was freshly cooked whilst we waited, so it was nice and hot when we tucked in, rather than warm. Also served with fresh toast. We didn't need to eat again that day! Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely go back when in the area.

Went here for brunch on a Saturday morning. Great coffee and lovely choice of cakes and light snacks. Not an extensive menu but great for what we wanted. Huge breakfast baps with choice of fillings - delicious. Pasties/jackets etc. Very friendly service. No tables outside but was lovely on a beautiful sunny day to sit on the public benches and admire the harbour view. Much nicer than being in the better of town. Will definitely retire when next visiting.
