The best restaurants serving Tapas food in South West

First time visiting The High Pavement and wow, I was amazed. Being coeliac i was sceptical because I always am eating out. There were plenty of dishes to chose from, all were delicious, full of flavour and filling. Service was great, our waitress explained in detail all the dishes on the menu and was very attentive. The atmosphere on a Friday night was great. It was busy in there and we were a table of 5, but received great service. Would recommend this place to family and friends.

Fabulous food ..amazing flavours 😋 very well looked after also welcomed our large golden retriever dog Definitely will go again

Great hairdressers - special thanks to Harry who did a great job cutting my hair, he understood exactly what I wanted and I am very pleased with how it came out :)). I would definitely recommend. Thank you!!!

We really enjoyed our meals, and the service was excellent. The beautiful views of the harbour added to the experience.

Forget the great View, forget the amazing food. It was very refreshing to actually feel wanted at this place. Not a hassle for the staff, not a stupid tourist they will never see again. Which is what we have seen a lot. The standard of service at this place exceeded any expectations I had. What a friendly team, always smiling no matter how busy they were, nothing was too much hassle. Thank you for making us feel like our custom was appreciated ❤️ We had breakfast twice, which was amazing. The pancakes were delicious. We were only here for two days but would have come back everyday if we where staying longer. Thank you to everyone for your efforts. Lisa

Unfortunately both the service and food at The Bank were well below what one could reasonably expect from a restaurant of this type. The service was exceptionally slow and the food was more than a little overcooked - and this, with drinks for £100+ for three covers. The Restaurant Manager was apologetic but words are, as they say - easy. We shall not be returning and from the less than full occupancy others have clearly already made that decision.

What a poor menu, don’t think it’s changed much in 6 months. Trying to be too poncy just need to be kept simple & local. I don’t think they had a chef just a member of staff assembling a few ingredients. Still cost £100 for three of us for lunch.

Awesome Sunday lunch, staff amazing, lovely beer garden 😃

Fabulosa comida, especialmente las opciones gf Personal muy amable y conocedor de los platos. Recomendaría encarecidamente

Lilico’s used to be one of my favourite dinner spots in Barnstaple. The tapas dishes were amazing and there was always a good atmosphere so when a friend suggested we go here with our partners for dinner we thought we’d give it a go, first time since it has been taken over by someone else and well let’s just say it will also be the last. Food was bland, probably the worst I have ever had. Cocktail menu was boring. Staff were miserable. And it was dead in there. Such a shame that Lilicos has been ran down into the ground.

Friendly welcome and lovely interior. Menu didn't state if cakes were suitable for vegetarians and the server had to ask. On her return stated that they only had eggs and milk in them but didn't know if they included gelatine so had to ask again. Cappuccino coffees weren't very hot but were served in proper coffee cups. Had a Dubai chocolate bar cake, but thought it was very similar to a kit kat. Will visit again but will make sure to ask for coffees to be hot, and will try different cakes as they looked good.

Great food and plenty of choices

Let me get my only real gripe out of the way right upfront. During my stay I had the Mangalitsa Pork and Vegetable Pie. It was the most bland - tasteless plate of food that I have ever eaten. Horrible. So, overall The Pig On The Beach is superbly located overlooking The Old Harry Rocks at Studland. Stunning. It is hard to find a less than enthusiastic team member. My room was very clean and I enjoyed my stay. Plenty of after dinner cosy corners for a drink although some people thought that bar prices were a little high! A good hotel.

La comida era muy agradable, pero desde el principio, la camarera era miserable y grosero. Cuando llegó la factura, fue grosera con mi amigo cuando dijo que no podía leer la máquina de lectura de tarjetas. Lástima porque la comida era preciosa pero arruinó la noche...

Lovely pastries and coffee, the lunch options are always interesting and always delicious. Out the back is a nice light seating area too.
