The best restaurants serving Tapas food in South West

We were very lucky to get a pavement table for the lunch service as a walk-in. The staff manage the magic trick of making everything relaxed and easy whilst juggling a full restaurant. The food was absolutely beautiful, you can see all the attention to the little details like the olives and the flatbread. We could definitely go back and order the other half of the menu. Thank you High Pavement!

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!!!

I've deliberated about writing this review, but figured we decided to go because of the good reviews and the promise of great fresh fish and food.... but we got anything but. I can only guess that the chef had a night off because our food wasn't great 😕 Obviously vac-packed ready cooked mussels (tiny, overcooked, many broken shells and some even closed) Nicely cooked seabass but on a bed of stodgy orzo with far too much pesto, crunchy leeks and oddly bits of carrot. Was hoping for a fresh, vibrant dish.... Crusted cod was burnt and cod overcooked so had gone spongy. Weird amuse bouches: burnt potato spiral and soggy beetroot tartlet. Really dissapointed. Lovely view over harbour and nice outside seating area but our experience wasn't a good unfortunately. We did give our feedback on the night and realise bad reviews aren't nice, but when people spend their hard earned cash expecting something special, it's hard to swallow....excuse the pun!

We decided to go for lunch here to celebrate my husbands birthday. The previous year we had a lovely lunch here. After looking through the menu we decided to go for the crab sandwiches with chips in rosemary and aioli. We asked for brown bread to be told that it would be done in white bread, apparently the accepted method from the waiter. The content was a lot more shredded lettuce than crab. We also noticed that there was brown bread on the servery. When we asked the waiter about this he said that it was sour dough bread that would not go well with the crab. We were in shock on his comment. A nice day spoilt by a poor lunch. Have their standards slipped? For the money this was one of the poorest/dearest crab sandwiches we have come across. From previous photos on trip advisor we noticed that brown bread had previously been used. We were not given that choice!

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.

C Bay is an absolute Gem of a place, firstly the staff are so welcoming and friendly and accommodating, the food and drinks are presented beautifully and equally has tasty so much we returned daily during our stay in Crantock. Welcome dogs which was a bonus for us and they made Mr Dibs equally as welcome and he thoroughly enjoyed his morning sausages. This place is a MUST for a visit not only for the welcome you receive, the food and drinks but the views whilst your there... having made friends with the staff we cannot wait to return... loved it x

Reservado para el almuerzo con amigos. Era un día muy soleado. Cuando llegué, me dieron a elegir entre sentarme dentro o fuera. Qué considerado. Pedimos una variedad de platos pequeños, todo estaba delicioso! El personal es simplemente gente amable normal y no puede hacer lo suficiente por usted. Tuvimos un gran tiempo. Lo que es realmente agradable de este lugar, aparte de la comida fabulosa es el ambiente. Estábamos charlando con otros clientes. ¡Todos estaban contentos!

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.

Very loud and crowded for dine in but the service and food were tasty but not necessarily unique.

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.
