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

We received kind and quick service by chatty and friendly staff. The drinks we had were very nice and the Deli had a nice atmosphere. Although it is small, it doesn't feel overcrowded - even when there are several people in there.

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!

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.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Staff attentive and knowledgable. Couldn't fault it.

I had been to this wonderful cafe once before and had a wonderful experience so when my friend came down to stay, I knew it was one of the places I wanted to take him. After a brisk walk, we headed into the warm & inviting cafe. A superb selection of food and drinks. My friend had a pot of tea and full English and I had the sausage, stilton and red caramelised onion sandwich & a flat white. We loved the selection of tea pots on the wall and was a lovely touch. We were planning on coming again but this time bringing my wife but unfortunately Storm Darragh put pay to that. But with the friendliness of everyone and the great selection of very reasonably priced dishes, we will definitely be back again. In fact all I can think about is the Festive Sandwich with all the trimmings…. So will be back before Christmas! 🤣

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

Such an enjoyable evening - the food is very good. Friendly and homely atmosphere - the real deal. Look forward to our next visit. Thank-you Ian and Adrian.

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.

We had a great Sunday breakfast here with a view from the marina over to Dartmouth. The cooked breakfast was excellent, packed with good ingredients. We highly recommend for anyone staying in Kingswear and the passenger/car ferries to Dartmouth and the steam railway are just a few mins walk away.

Always wanted to go this restaurant ever since it opened, but circumstances stopped me going until now. I have had a craving for Gyozas for such a long time and they were amazing. We decided to have lots of dishes from their small plates menu, very reasonably priced, great vibe and super friendly service. We will return to try out their Katsu, it is a shame they don't have Ramen on their menu. Highly recommended.

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 😀

Loved this little restaurant. Food, ambience,wine everything felt really special. The lady who runs it is an amazing host. Definitely one to try. And dog friendly x
