The best restaurants in South West

Popped in for some food and was not disappointed the food was lovely. We had the whitebait, crispy squid, three fish, and chowder. The only bit that could have been improved was slightly less bacon or even no bacon with the chowder as it made it very salty by the end, and the flavour of the soup on its own was delicious. Staff were fabulous, really friendly and welcoming.

The food is so good and the waitress is great too but there is no vegetarian option and also the restaurant time is always good

The Crab Shack in Teignmouth is a fantastic spot for seafood lovers, offering fresh, locally-sourced dishes with a beautiful view of the estuary. I had the mussels, and they were simply outstanding—plump, perfectly cooked, and served in a rich, flavorful sauce that was perfect for dipping with crusty bread. The restaurant has a cozy, laid-back vibe with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Reservations are recommended as it’s a popular spot, especially around sunset when you can enjoy the beautiful views over the water. If you're in Teignmouth, The Crab Shack is a must-visit for a memorable seafood experience.

The food was amazing, we ordered 6 dishes between two people and were so happy with all of it! The server was very friendly and helped choose what wine to order with our meal - would go again!

We had a delicious meal at Al Farid - a brilliantly quirky setting with great service and a tantalising array of mezze plates. I wouldn’t usually use three adjectives in one sentence but it was that good! Book!

I was pleasantly surprised by the Clipper....on the first view its a basic Seaside cafe, but once inside it turns out to be an excellent restaurant with good food, excellent coffee and a fine range of wines and spirits Outside seating has a superb view of the River Teign and Teignmouth back beach so beloved of generations of artists and photographers There is also inside seating upstairs with similar views The staff were friendly, fast and professional and I will happily recommend the clipper to anuone visiting Shaldon

Great food, friendly service, knowledgeable staff, speedy service, comfortable surroundings. Serves wine and beer. Great menu, with starters to suit all tastes. Would go back again. Everybody in out group of 10, thought it a great place

Amazing service and incredible Sunday roast . Has to be the best in st Ives

What a wonderful restaurant .Great location for Plymouth Pavilions.Amazing staff and incredible food. The Ox cheek Lasagna was the best I have EVER tasted,highly recommend. Lexi our host was top notch and a credit to you .

Love this place. Always visit whenever in Cornwall. Can be busy but this is a good sign. If eating in be sure to write your name in the book on far side of the bar, this will ensure speedy service (they do not take bookings). This is truly a family run business with the head of house taking pride even though she is in her golden years. Best fish and chips in Cornwall

Amazing character and board games. Great stand up entertainment. Truly a one of Pub with traditional classic ales and spirits. 🕴👯👯

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. Staff are sound also 👌🏼

We went for a nice evening out. Two of us ordered the porterhouse, a £36 steak. We ordered surf and turf, a sauce and a Greek salad to accompany. The steak came out cooked as we wanted, but it was very tough. We told the waiter who took both steaks away. We were then represented with our original steaks again by the owner, who offered us to try our steaks again. I’m not sure what was worse, the fact he represented our original steak cut into tiny bits, or the fact he’d told us he had tried some of it. Safely say I won’t be eating here again, and unless you want to share your steak with the owner, I suggest you don’t either. It is a shame, it used to be a really good steak house.

Beautiful ice cream and fabulous staff. I had some time to kill, so I decided to sit in today. Ice cream was fantastic (as usual) but special kudos to Izzy she was really lovely. Smiling, wishing everyone a good weekend. She’s a real credit to Swoon :)

Thanks to Dave, Patsy & the Masons Arms team for another super stay. This is now our 4th time staying. The reason we continue to return is the fact you just get it right!👍from rooms, to food and service. Thanks for making our trip so good.
