My husband and I and our friends spent the May bank holiday weekend in Ilfracombe and we checked out some restaurants on trip advisor before we went. We booked up Clarets and La Gendarmerie. On arriving at La Gendarmerie we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The owners are a lovely couple and its clear that the restaurant is... More

Chose this restaurant based on tripadvisor reviews and were blown away, so good we went two nights running!! The food was out of this world, the best quality produce and made with passion and tender loving care. The whole dining experience was perfect, very welcoming and laid back. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and certainly will make another... More

This place is an absolute gem. We went recently during a visit back to see family and were really excited by their menu in the window - pig's trotter croquette on a truffle mayonnaise!!! It certainly lived up to expectations and then some. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent decor and we loved that when we went back the following week,... More

Me and my fiancée were in Ilfracombe for a wedding, whilst Ilfracombe isn't particularly for us, this restaurant is a little gem! Its not massive but your not hemmed in. From the moment we stepped in we knew it was going to be good, the waitress was incredibly attentive (From beginning to end!)and gave us an option of tables. The... More

We enjoyed a lovely meal here during our stay in Croyde Bay. The food was superb and excellent value for money. The pigs cheeks were cooked to perfection and I loved the "Devon Cream Tea" dessert of clotted cream pannacotta and strawberry sorbet with scone crumbs. The wine list is fairly short but has a good selection of wines and... More

What a find. I could sit here all afternoon and sing the praises of this exquisite establishment. However, suffice it to say that we have eaten here on consecutive nights for our last two trips to Ilfracombe, and would eat here everyday if we did not live in London. The set menu £29 for three courses is ridiculously reasonable and... More

I almost didn't the review as i want to keep it to myself, it really is too good to share. This place is a hidden gem and I am sure many of you have passed I in fore street and no even realised, I have at least half a dozen times. The food is worthy of at least 1 Michelin... More

I can't fault anything about this restaurant. The food was fantastic, great service, local beer and good wine. I would definitely recommend it.

We live locally and whenever we have the opportunity to go out for a meal, this is the number one choice. The food is first class as is the service. This is simply the best place in town to eat. It is not the cheapest but worth every penny.
