East Devon restaurants with food menus

Toast

➤ 155 High Street, East Devon, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Mexican • Fast Food

"Though the weather was windy there was sun and we were able to sit in the adorable garden that they have in the back. Lovely little place in the heart of Honiton. The inside is also very quaint and rustic to sit in as well with welcoming staff. I had a delicious Brie and Cranberry toastie while my mother chose an Orange and Pecan cake from one of the many options on display. Very delicious, highly recommend."

Indian Ocean

➤ 36 Exeter Road, East Devon, United Kingdom, EX8 1LF

Indian • Chicken • Takeaway • Vegetarian

"I recently ordered food from Indian Ocean take away in Exmouth.The food arrived on time and was on the surface ok and tasted reasonable . Unfortunately I decided to check the food standard rating after which I was mortified to see was only 2!!! This is extremely low and very worrying. The rating was from a check in October 23 so current!! The low rating refers to cleanliness, pest control etc and I really wish I'd checked before ordering as it's true to say I wouldn't have. I never will again!! I'm just sorry I've eaten the food without knowing environment it was made in. Always check food standards rating so you know what you're eating and the environment it from. Not surprising the standards rating is not displayed on the window as is usual."

Antonio's

➤ 9 The Strand, EX8 1AB, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Italian • Ice Cream • Vegetarian

"I convinced my partner, who is half Italian, to join me for a meal and drinks at this restaurant. He wasn't very hungry, so I decided to order the Nachos with melted cheese for £4.50, with additional toppings costing 75p each. I chose sour cream and jalapeños. My partner ordered an iced mint frappe for £4.50 from the menu, while I opted for a simple black tea and asked for lemon to put in it, but they didn't have any. I had to wait a long time because there was only one girl serving a large order of ice cream. Eventually, a young man came to take my order, though he seemed new and unsure about the prices and menu. He wrote down my order and an older man came out to help. The nachos were served unceremoniously, with no napkins, and the dish consisted of mostly broken nachos with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, not the gooey mozzarella I expected. The sour cream came from a squirt bottle and tasted bland, as did the cheese. Despite their poor quality, I ate them because I hate wasting food. My partner also thought there wasn't much in the bowl, but we enjoyed the few jalapeños that were there. My partner's frappe came in a plastic cup, and the server apologized for not knowing we were sitting down and offered a spoon for the whipped cream. The visit was redeemed by the pleasant young server. We asked the young man for napkins, and he pointed us to a table inside where we had to get them ourselves. The worst part was seeing the older man and the young man go out three times to throw shop waste into the public bin on the square, including coffee granules and kitchen waste that spilled all over the pavement. The young man said he didn't know why they didn't use their own bins and was just following instructions. We were shocked and upset by this behavior."

The Dairy Shop

➤ 5 Church Street, EX10 8LY, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Delis • British • Vegetarian

"had the most amazing evening with friends. this place is a hidden gem!!! we all had a wonderful time and have learned so much about the Gin production process and how ingredients are locally sown. so much wonderful local products to buy and personal are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Three Tuns

➤ 133 High St, East Devon, United Kingdom

Kebab • Cafés • Seafood • Mexican

"This pub is fantastic with a great atmosphere. The average price per person is between £10-20. The food quality is excellent, receiving a rating of 5 out of 5. The service is also top-notch, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 score. The overall atmosphere of the pub is also rated a perfect 5 out of 5."

Coast Cafe

➤ The Esplanade, EX12 2LN, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Coffee • Cheese • Seafood

"I was pleasantly surprised that they were open on a wet Sunday morning in January in a seaside town. I'm so glad they were. My wife had a Bakewell slice, my son had a very chocolatey chocolate brownie with chocolate pieces on top, and I had a toasted teacake, which was more like two slices of a loaf made with the same ingredients. All three were full of flavour and delicious. My coffee was very tasty too, with no bitter aftertaste. The service was excellent, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, and we had only a very short wait before our order arrived. We will be back again. I thoroughly recommend it."

Tea And Tittle Tattle

➤ 4 Fore Street, EX9 6NG, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"Nice looking small café type of place and was told that they can accommodate a gluten free diet as I suffer from coeliac disease and must avoid all types of gluten. I ordered a ham sandwich with gf bread and when it arrived it looked...good and had crisps on the plate. I asked what brand of crisps they used and was told they were Walkers, I told her that they were not gluten free. The women who prepared the food came out and told me they were gf, which as a long term sufferer of coeliac disease I found rather insulting. I told her that I could not eat the food due to fact it would make me ill , but she went on to say that it says no gluten' on the packet,(which it does not) but then changed her mind. GF crisps are available but if you searched Walkers you will see that they are not gf. Also when I mentioned cross contamination the woman who prepared the food said that it can happen as they only have a small kitchen. I paid for the drinks we had but not the food as we left it untouched. The young girl serving and cleaning the tables was excellent and understanding and could teach the older staff some manners."

Tandoori Nights

➤ 10 The Strand, East Devon, United Kingdom

Vegan • Indian • Chicken • Vegetarian

"Ended up here after not being able to eat at our first choice due to it being fully booked (they had a cheap Wednesday deal). However, I think luck was on our side as we had a terrific meal. Lots of veg options which is great as my partner is vegetarian. The table service was quick and attentive and there was a good selection of specials, good for me as I like to try new things. All the food was well prepared, not oily or salty (our 2 main bug bares with Indian food) and all the dishes were full of fresh vegetables, even the veg rice. We will certainly eat here again. Looking at the low star reviews for this restaurant, most are from 4-5 years ago when it was in previous ownership and don’t reflect our experience."

The Thirsty Farmer

➤ Talaton Road, EX5 2QA, East Devon, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Vegan • British

"Absolutely diabolical! 1hr wait for a table (as apparently they were full) then 1hr 20 wait on food for food that was poorly reheated. The chef needs to learn where the salt is kept. Pork was tough, roast potatoes had been reheated and fried, veg was overboiled, Yorkshire pudding was stale and over reheated. There was 5 tables total during our service and 12 tables total for the day not sure how his service and food would warrant a 1hr 20 minute wait. Not one check on the table, whilst waiting and during the meal, had to ask for the ETA, was told 5 minutes and it was a further 25 minutes. Only put 1 star because you can’t put 0. Will not be coming back, will not be recommending."

Bumble And Bee

➤ Manor Gardens, EX8 1BB, East Devon, United Kingdom

British • Healthy • European • Breakfast

"Visited for brunch after Exmouth parkrun. We booked a table and were given a lovely spot in the window. Chai Latte was one of the best ever and the breakfast so well presented and absolutely delicious. We were pleased we booked as busy when we arrived and the whole time we were there. Friendly, attentive staff and the scones and cakes looked so inviting. We need to return for sweet treats. Thank you."

Fort Cafe

➤ The Esplanade, EX10 8NS, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • British • Breakfast • Vegetarian

"After a lovely walk along the beach we thought we would stop for a nice hot drink and as this cafe had lovely views we thought it would be a nice end to the walk. Due to covid restrictions there was a bungy rope across...the entrance from the road with a sign saying please wait to be seated, so we waited and waited, a girl. Inside obviously saw us but just turned round and went back to the counter. A lady inside waved us in, again we stood by the sign at the door saying wait to be seated, a young lady came and said what do you want great greeting, we told her just a drink, she said go through and I will come and attend to you. Well I think she forgot us so we ordered at the counter. The drinks came, hot chocolates that were very badly presented, sloped in the saucer and chocolate sprinkles all over the place. I have to say that the chocolate was good but the service was lacking in the friendly approach."

China Garden

➤ 23 Imperial Road, EX8 1DB, East Devon, United Kingdom

Soup • Meat • Chicken • Chinese

"Ordered a takeaway for 2 people, after going on the website to look at the menu to find there wasn’t one, “ coming soon”, ok, not a problem as ordered a few times from here and knew exactly what we wanted. Ordered 2 starters, 2 rice a curry and ribs plus couple soups, was amazed at the price! Couldn’t believe it, but was too gobsmacked to query it…I know, my fault entirely……but to be charged more than £12 for the same items from a few weeks ago??? Was the meal worth it? Definitely not, ribs overcooked, curry was mainly onions bit of meat, bit spicy, ….the spicy bit was ok, didn’t enjoy it one little bit. Sorry, but you’ve lost a customer, definitely won’t be back for takeaway or eat in."

Oak Barn Furnishings

➤ Knowle Hill Budleigh Salterton, EX9 7AL, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Cakes • British • Breakfast

"You have to go to this place to experience the best cup of tea ever freshly brewed from real leaves (and I mean leaves, not your smashed up bits you buy in the supermarket). And the scones were fabulous (we had cherry and almond) large and crumbly and oh so soft and the jam so fresh! Next time we will have lunch there as the Panini sounded fabulous."

Mocha

➤ The Esplanade, EX10 8AS, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Cafés • British • European

"We visited Sidmouth on 19th July with my wife's god-daughter and her sister. Having spent some time on the beach we wanted to have a meal and The Mocha was right in front of us so we decided to eat there. The menu said that they were serving up to 3pm and we went in at 2.50 so we all quickly made our choices and I went up to the counter to order, arriving at 2.55. There was one elderly gentleman in front of me buy a coffee. However the server seemed to be having some trouble making the order and then the gentleman had some issues making his payment resulting in my arrival at the counter at 3.01, literally 3.01, one minute past 3pm, only to be told they weren't taking any more food orders as it was past 3pm. I argued that I had been in the queue for six minutes and that I would have ordered before 3pm if they hadn't taken so long to sort one coffee order out but to no avail. The member of staff in question was very abrupt to the point of being rude and it was quite clear she could not be bothered to take our order as other staff were dashing around clearing tales and it may have resulted in the staff having to wait for us to finish our meal before they could close up. If they are not going to accept orders up to 3pm then they shouldn't state this on the menu and I have never been in a restaurant or cafe where they refuse to take an order which would have exceeded £60 after I had joined a queue before the closing time. They are lucky they can afford to turn away over £60's worth of business. The customer service here was zero and would not recommend visiting a place where the staff are so rude or so unhelpful."

The Stables

➤ Duryarwood Lane, East Devon, United Kingdom

Meat • Steak • Cheese • Salads

"I reviewed this some time ago, but I had occasion to dine again recently (May 2024) so I thought I would revisit my review. The restaurant wasn't exactly empty, but it was nowhere near full or half full. That was a great shame as the food and service was excellent. The service was attentive without intruding and putting a jug of water on the table when we arrived was a nice touch. The food was excellent, much better than pub food, it was nicely presented, hot and plentiful. The menu had something for everyone, I didn't realise there was a specials board but I do now and will look out for it on my next visit. I understand the cocktails are worth a look. The staff were friendly and efficient, the duty manager (Gilly) was a great asset to the establishment, if only all restaurant staff were this knowledgeable and effective, perhaps The Stables should be giving Masterclasses on how it should be done. Please take note Wetherspoons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. This was my previous review. Excellent food and service. Much more than pub food.."

The Black Horse Sidmouth

➤ Old Fore Street, East Devon, United Kingdom, EX10 8AQ

Cafés • Seafood • Mexican • European

"3 of us visited for a late lunch on a beautiful sunny day in Sidmouth. The place was clean. Warm friendly welcome given along with details of the place was operating as now re- opened after lockdown. Track trace slips issued. We opted for beer battered fish chips with peas and tartare sauce. The menu also offers smaller portions of main courses which is great when you have a senior with you as they find it off-putting when you get a huge plate of food in front of you. Good friendly service. Value for money."

The Swan Inn

➤ The Strand, EX8 5ET, East Devon, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Seafood • British

"Visited for family Sunday lunch today and it was fantastic! Camembert bites to start, yummy. The roast beef, deliciously rare, lovely Yorkshire’s and veg and cauliflower cheese too. I loved the extra gravy boat too. The vegan pie received plaudits too, great pasty and delicious mushroom filling All in all a wonderful lunch and fantastic service from Darren and his great team!"

The Fountain Head

➤ East Devon, United Kingdom

Fish • Wine • Steak • Cheese

"This is a pretty pub with lots of character and charm, situated in a picturesque village. It has the potential to be an absolutely amazing venue. It’s a shame then, that the host on the day we arrived wasn’t at all welcoming. Having walked to Branscombe on the coastal path for 3 hours (on a glorious hot Summer day) we had worked up quite a thirst. We arrived at exactly 3 pm to be told (not very politely) that the bar was closed (despite there being a good number of locals in there with drinks). OK, arguably it was our own fault for not checking opening hours and assuming (wrongly) that a pub in a popular tourist area would be open on a Saturday afternoon during the high season. At the same time, the host could have shown some discretion. The published closing time was 3 pm so he could have served us a drink and allowed us to sit outside (which we would have have been happy to do). The pub is licensed to serve all day so we felt it mean spirited to turn us away. We left thirsty and bitter with a distinct feeling that if you are not a local then you are not welcome here. We instead went to the pub down the road, where we received a friendly reception and lovely pint of Branscombe Brewery beer. We’ll only likely return here if there is a change of ownership. What a pity."

The Salterton Arms

➤ 22 Chapel Street, East Devon, United Kingdom, EX9 6LX

Pub • Fish • Steak • British

"Sunday roast dinner was very nice, plenty of veg and cauliflower cheese. The beef burger was very nice too. The staff were very welcoming. The place is clean. My only recommendation would be the outside front and back needs a bit of TLC, maybe this would be a future project but don't let this turn you away. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Budleigh Burger, Garlic Bread, Beef Roast"

Hare And Hounds

➤ Putts Corner,, EX14 3TY, East Devon, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • British • European

"Terrible. By far the worst customer service I've ever experienced. The tall, weathered-faced angry looking woman who seemed to be in charge served me at the bar, already looking peeved, yes i then forgot my table number, went to look then came back, man she's huffing and puffing, tapping fingers, a 50 year old acting like a stroppy teenager. Finally transaction went through, she walked off not even offering a receipt, i had to overtly request it, she gave it reluctantly. Then the food, barely adequate, undercooked, overpriced. Very odd atmosphere, also young staff look clueless, all just standing around looking uninterested in working. Lazy staff. Terrible place. Avoid like the plague."
