Bistro 35 – IvybridgeIve visited this restaurant many times. It is always a pleasure, whatever the choice from the menu. On the most recent visit with a group we were welcomed by a very cheerful, friendly and welcoming gent at the door, served great food at a good table and all left very happy. I couldnt recommend any Thai restaurant as highly.
Thai House The – PlymouthOur visit today was very enjoyable and as a locals have always been very satisfied with both the food and the service provided. I would recommend it to my friends, even though today 2 roast potatoes on my wifes plate were cold, we did not let that spoil our meal, and the staff were very apologetic. We will certainly be paying further visits in the future.
This is a really fantastic place to eat. Small and cosy, with lots of atmosphere and truly great chefs doing interesting, delicious food with fresh local produce. This is better than Rick Stein!! It is a bit more expensive than some places but is far less poncey than The Angel and definitely worth it.
Dolphin Restaurant and Takeaway – IlfracombeThe Devon Dumpling, is a very pleasant place to spend an evening. And you need a very large appetite to be able to clear your plate of the wonderful food they serve. Would recommend everyone to try it.
Devon Dumpling – TorquayThe service at the Honeymoon is always excellent and the food is delicious. A wide choice of vegetarian and meat dishes at good prices, with the take away price being even better value for money.
Honeymoon Chinese and Thai Restaurant – BarnstapleThe food at the Jack Russell is usually very pleasant if you do not go on a Friday or Saturday. The lunch time sandwiches and jacket potatoes are very well filled and fresh. Sadly, of an evening the pub is very understaffed in the dining room, with only one waitress working. Although she is very pleasant and helpful, she is run off her feet and for this reason it often takes a long time to get served. We have usually enjoyed a nice but not outstanding meal, with vegetarian, fish and meat options available. You get a good sized portion, also. This quality tends to take a dip, as mentioned, on weekend evenings. Recently some friends had an issue with under cooked lamb; when they sent it back the same meat was recooked and whacked back on the plate to be returned to the table, when they complained nothing was done by management. In short, this could be a really good local pub, but is still has a way to go to get there.
Jack Russell The – BarnstapleI have just returned from the Middle East and was interested to taste the food here. Overall, the food was good but not outstanding in any way. The feel of the place and the decor really makes this restaurant (although the low tables are a pain) and there are very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had some of the orange cake after the recommendations on this site - it was very heavy and sickly, not my thing! I would recommend this restaurant for a large group or first date.
Souk – PlymouthMy friend and I ate here on a Friday evening - the food was exquisite and very reasonably priced. The pianist added to the ambiance without being intrusive. I would recommend this for an intimate dinner or just for a fantastic meal that won't break the bank.
Chloe’s Restaurant – PlymouthMy husband & I dated in 1999 and our first weekend break was spent in Dawlish. We had a drink in a local pub & asked for recommendations in places to eat and Hoi Shing was highly recommended by the landlady and customers there too. So we went there, the shop front was nothing special but inside was very nice. We had a excellent meal & the waitress was very friendly which made our 1st break very enjoyable. Since then we visit Dawlish at least twice a year & we always pay Hoi Shing a visit, we were surprised they remembered us the 2nd time we went there and they make our re-visits very welcoming. Now we have 2 children who also enjoy going there too as they always get free prawn crackers & Lollipops. Highly recommended. We also saw Gillian Taylorforth (From Eastenders & Footballers Wives) with her family there too.
Hoi Shing – DawlishThis restaurant is a legend. The food is utterly authentic and unlike anything that you'll find in 'normal' indian restaurants. Every time we've been in here, we've utterly enjoyed it. The restaurant decor is basic compared to other restaurants, but the food makes up for it. The extras you get it this place really make the difference, like mango lassi (delicious!). The indian desserts are amazing too - especially the coconut ice cream, which is to die for! And it's all amazingly cheap!
Veggie Perrins – Plymouthwe visited this restaurant while on holiday last week, it is in beautiful setting over looking the river, and nicely decorated inside. we had the corned beef hash which was delicious. would definitely go again next time we are in Devon
Coombe Cellars Inn – TorquayWe plan our trips from London down to the West Country to coincide with the Flintlock Inn's opening times! It's only seconds off the A303, excellent and friendly service and the most superb, fresh food. Very good value too considering the quantity and quality of the food. They have two chefs dedicated to making puddings alone. You're in for a treat.
The Flintlock Inn – HonitonTaking a short break at a local B&B, we thought that we would try the local pub - boy are we glad that we did. We had an excellent home cooked meal, the pub was very busy but it was well worth the wait. This was on a Sunday night, and as we were staying for one more day we made a note of what was on offer for the next evening from a varied menu. Only problem was, the Flintlock is closed on Mondays, never mind - we now have an excuse to return later in the year to sample another of the tasty dishes on offer.
The Flintlock Inn – HonitonI have lived in Exeter for the last 10 years and this has to be without a doubt Exeter's finest restaurant. The service rivals some fine dining venues in the area. With great product knowledge and a friendly warm yet balanced approach it's clear the staff revel in working in such a fine establishment. I'm pleased to say it's one of the only Italian restaurants that actually has a true Italian as it's Head Chef which is evident in the food. From talking to the chef, i discovered the food is sourced solely from Italy and is delivered daily. This is a refreshing change from precooked, reheated rubbish commonly found in high street restaurants of the area. The atmosphere is well balanced and the overall impression is that of a funky retro, modern Italian restaurant. You must try it!
Strada – ExeterAfter a great night at the barbican kitchen we felt we had to try the Flagship site! really glad we did we heard it was expensive we felt it was excellent value for sublime food and the pleasure of eating in such an historic building these boys know how to run restaurants ! you have to go you will not be disappointed
Tanners Restaurant – PlymouthJust eaten here to celebrate twenty years with my wife. Food and service was excellent. Lots of cafes with new Princesshay development but made the right choice.
