HIGHEST SCORE POSSIBLE:
What a fantastic pub. The staff were so so polite and couldn't do enough for us. The carvery was the best I have ever had and considering we were a group of 50 (adults and children)dressed in toga, they couldn't do enough for us. A must if you are in Devon!!!

Great place and brilliant food would recommend very highly

The Terrace Tapas & Wine Bar in Ilfracombe was the highlight of our week. We felt welcome the second we walked in and the staff could not do enough to help. They entertained the children throughout the evening. The food was amazing full of variety, amazing flavours and tasted amazing. We could not praise this establishment enough. i would highely recommend this place to anyone. Families and couples theres something for everyone.

The food and drinks are always freshly made to your order, nothing is too much effort for the friendly staff. Even when it is busy they check if you have a table if not they reserve one as soon as it is free. This is always our first choice to come whether it is for coffee or for an evening meal in the summer.

Just come back and want to say what a welcoming restaurant this was. Menu was extensive and all looked very tasty - I had the Greek pie which I can thoroughly recommend! We dropped in at about 9pm after the cinema, on a Tuesday evening and were the only people in there - shocking for such a great place. Made to feel very welcome and just really enjoyed it! :)

What can we say - everything on the menu we wanted to try. The meal did not disappoint wonderful fish dishes that melted in your mouth. Desserts to die for only problem was that we couldnt eat it all! so welcoming owners and staff. Would definately come again.

We really enjoyed an excellent meal with locally caught fish on Saturday 21st April. Staff very friendly, lovley to be able to see the chef actually cooking your food.

This place is certainly full of character, they serve a good selection of honest pub grub, very inexpensive, and very simple. If you want fine dining go elsewhere, but a proper plate of homecooked food here can't be beaten.

The best steak I have ever eaten by far. They are using the highest quality ingredients and it shows. Brilliant atmosphere too.

A great place to eat . If you are comming to plymouth you must come to this restaurant the food is top notch and not expensive like some of the others around the Barbican.

Every time we come down from Essex, this is the first place we eat. The menu is excellent and even better than last year, the value is good with the all you can eat buffet and the welcome is first class. Our girls love going and we cant wait to return in two weeks to celebrate Jemma's birthday. Just cant find fault, well done guys

We entered Seventy One, and immediately received a warm, friendly welcome. The dining room itself is clean, crisp, immaculately presented, and nicely spaced out. We received a run-down of both the menu and the specials board, all of which sounded spectacular.
We had scallops and the ravioli for the starters, followed by surf and turf, and 2 ways lamb for the mains. All of these dishes were cooked, and presented to perfection. The scallops were impeccable, so much that I asked the waitress to compliment the chef. They were accompanied by a lovely piece of steak, which I had rare, and was, again cooked to perfection. The homemade chips were nice and crisp, and came nicely presented. My partners lamb, again, was perfect, and served with nice crisp fresh vegetables. For afters, we had a cheeseboard and ice-cream, all nice local produce. If I had more room, I would have chosen a dessert from the homemade desserts menu also! The service throughout was first-rate and attentive. The timings were perfect between courses, breaking the evening up nicely. 2 x 3 course meals, a bottle of wine and a few beers was £85, we left £100. Everything about this dining experience was positive. Even when we left and said Goodnight, other diners nearby also wished us well! The meal, the immaculate presentation, combined with the first rate service of the family staff, made this dining experience one to remember. We will definitely be eating here again when we next visit Ilfracombe.

This restaurant deserves every success.

We had the best fish meal ever in this lovely restaurant, the service and staff were first class, and would not hesitate to recommend to any one, we even brought some fresh fish to take home, and were extreamly impressed with the low prices and great quality.

We stayed here in December on our way down to Dartmouth and found it a great place to stay. The staff were very friendly, food good, room clean and comfy. We liked it so much that we are going to stay again in summer on our way down and give the other place we normaly stay in a miss.

On a brief visit to Exeter stumbled on this place and so glad we did. Great menu and wonderful food served in a very friendly atmosphere - can not remember having a better meal out - many thanks and a must try for those in the area

My friend and i went there yesterday for lunch and the place was packed! (a good sign) The staff were friendly, polite. attentive and quick. The food was HOT and the vegetables were fresh. I would reccomend this place and give it an A+

Herbies is a fabulous vegetarian restaurant. You will find many tasty and varied dishes. This is wholesome vegatarian food at it's best and it is good value for money. The staff are always friendly too. Something for everyone, and their soups are...super! A one-of-a-kind place.

Always friendly, fantastic food and brilliant atmosphere. Got to try it out!

Brilliant atmosphere and the food was splendid.

We eat here about once a month and the food goes from strength to strength. Well worth a visit.

A great restaurant to kick back and relax over several tapas dishes and a bottle of wine, or two. Consistently good food and service.
A favourite of my fiancees too. That says a lot as she advises the Environmental Health Officers on food safety and hygiene, and it's ok with her.

I can't believe Harry's hasn't been reviewed since 2010! Maybe those who love Harry's and know how wonderful it is don't want others to find out lol. We discovered Harry's at the end of 2011, only having lived in the South West a short time and have been back several times. They have a wonderful variety of lovely food and there is plenty of choice for vegetarians too. It is great for both families, friends and couples, has a lovely atmosphere and great friendly staff too :-)

My family and I, from 9yrs to 74yrs all love Herbies and with two autistic sons we find it autism/learning disabilities friendly too :-)
The vegetarian food is wholesome and tasty (the cheesy garlic bread is amazing) and there's a great range of soft and alcoholic drinks too.
It has a friendly relaxing atmosphere and we eat there regularly.
The only way it could be improved, is if all the food and drinks were totally organic but then paying for the more ethically produced healthier food (which I totally approve of) might mean we couldn't eat there as often.

I held a private function for my son's 18th. Nathan and his team were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The night went without a hitch and everyone had a great time thanks to the staff's friendly and helpful approach. I would definitely return

Have frequently eaten here and it never disappoints. Chicken La Di Dah is my favourite. They have a round table which is ideal if you have people hard of hearing. Inexpensive good night out and my children love it too!

Excellent food and nice friendly staff in pleasant surroundings. would recommend

My husband and I started visiting The Terrace in 2004 when we came down to look for somewhere to live and we love the atmosphere here. We've been so many times now and love everything about it, in particular the yummy Cheese fondue and if there's any room the chocolate one too....so good. Definitely uber highly recommended

Wonderful food. Lovely people who own and run this restaurant. Good value for money. They go that extra mile!

A beautiful pub. Lovely homely feel. Very friendly staff. The chef is amazing. Not only does he cook gorgeous food in large portions he was very accommodating when it came to a vegetarian with special dietary needs. Would be my local if I lived closer by! Well done all! xxxx

Excellent atmosphere friendly staff eating there again tonight :-)

A small intimate place. Lovely surroundings, friendly attentive staff, great food and wine. Perfect for a special occasion

Visited on the off chance, friendly welcome, food cooked just as asked for. Plenty of space inside aswell as large contained seating area outside for those hot balmy days. Later on in the evenings musical entertainment, thanks

Great welcome & tasty food served by friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere. Finished off with one of their amazing cocktails.

Best sandwiches and snacks in Plymouth. Lovely people serving too.

We have visited Tiffanys everytime we stay in Brixham and each time recieve a warm and friendly welcome and even get to taste the new cakes the owner has made (which are gorgeous) we find it very clean lovely food and lovely staff we would recommend Tiffanys 100% !

The food was fantastic and what a beautiful place. We were made to feel 'at home'. Thank you

This is one of the most friendly and welcoming restaurant I have ever visited. The food was superb and the hospitality was outstanding. The staff were very polite and could not do enough for us. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting or staying in the area.

Stayed at the Pack o Cards last week and ate in the restaurant for dinner. i had the Chicken with asparagus and green beans and it was just great. So good that i had to try the cheese cake for dessert! Very tasty it was too! You should see there new conservatory dining room, WOW!

Called in to use a Groupon Voucher received for a Christmas present. Warm welcome, excellent food and service. The portions were over generous. Could only manage starter & main.

What a lovely place. Have eaten here several times, and each time had lovely food and lovely service. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food , amazing portions, lovely friendly staff . A must !

What a wonderful place! Me and my husband spent a fantastic evening there. Amazing food, wine, and waitress. Would definately go back.

Excellent service and food in a relaxed atmosphere. We visit frequently with our young children. The fish and chips is particularly yummy as well as the fish finger sandwich. Great coffee and a good selection of wines. Love it!

We love it at the Village Inn, nothing too fancy, they dont try to be something they're not. Great easy uncomplicated food. Sausages to die for and their recent Beat the Freeze for £5.95 was a real winner. Its great for us to go there when I cannot be bothered to cook at home, its close, the ambience is great, plenty of bon-homie and we always feel welcome. A lovely village pub atmosphere. Don't change a thing, its great as it is. Thank you

I have eat in the Eastern Eye for the last 20 years and have always had fantastic food and the service is top quality, myself and my husband were joined with friends and family on Saturday night for our joint 40th and had a wonderful time and Kalam suggested the set menu as there were 27 of us and what a lovely variety of food we cannot wait to go again.

Absolutely fabulous

Herbies is always a good bet, from a quick pre-cinema snack to a full veggie feast. The house wines are good and the welcome is always great ....

We have eaten at the Lamb Inn many times, lunch times and evenings. The atmosphere is always welcoming and warm, the menu gives local produce but the taste of a top London resturant, a real treasure for us local's. A fine selection of real ales makes it a perfect place to send time with friends. Excellent.

Can i say what a wounderfull meal we had there last night will be back great food and service

The greatest steak I have ever had. It was so Good I had to order another for pudding. (for with the staff were happy to help)
The staff were very friendly and helpfull.
A great menu with a wide range of good and interesting meat.
I could not have found a better place to have dinner. Now just need to go back there.



If you are any where near you must go.

We found Geoff & Chrissie's place two years ago. We had a very warm welcome that evening (plus good wine and excellent food) and always make a point of returning when we come to Ilfracombe.
A great find - but you will need to look up as you walk down Fore Street or you'll miss it!

Wonderful service excellent food.

Best expirence and best breakfast I have ever ate! the atmosphere in this cafe is so positive and as soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile, so much food and breakfasts to chose from and they are all made to perfection!

Me and my wife have visited plenty of caverys over the past few years however we stopped visiting them after a bad experience with one on the way to Exmouth however after a good few of our friends saying try the Twisted Oak there food is great.

My husband and I accompanied by our adult daughter visited this pub on Wednesday 28th December in the late afternoon having been for a walk on Sidmouth beach. We were absolutely delighted at the quality of the food. We had a Monkfish special, a Sea Bass on crushed new potatoes and a Belly Pork dish with vegetable side dishes. We all cleared our plates and then indulged in the delicious home made desserts. Wonderful! My daughter commented that it was the first time she had been out for a meal with us and we had no complaints whatsoever. As regular Michelin Star diners that is saying something. Well done! We visit the Tiverton area regularly from Coventry as this is where my daughter lives. Keep up the good work we will be back.

Ive eaten here many times and its amazing every time Best Breakfast in Tivvy... The Staff are very friendly and its a reasonable price too. Definitely recommend it.

Always excellent service, very tasty food and cheerful staff. We've been going to this restaurant for years and they never fail!

Best food in Devon

Along with my cycling buddy Billy Jackson, I came across The Coffee Bean during our charity bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats. Our initial impression was that this a particularly clean venue to enjoy an Allday Brekkie! We were not to be disappointed, the husband and wife team were most friendly and all facilities [including toilets] were spotless. When the all day brekkie, with chips, arrived it was sumptuous, no sign of grease, and was washed down with an excellent cappo!! Despite being early into our 10 day ride we voted The Coffee Bean the best Breakfast stop on the journey. So we make it number 1 in The UK! With our water bottles replenished we left revitalised. The Coffee Bean is a must for people tackling Le Jog or anyone visiting Tiverton.

Best breakfast I have ever had by far! Very friendly staff and lovely inviting atmosphere! I visit every time I travel to Devon! Excellent!

This local cafe is wonderful, traditional food and good value for money. Staff are always welcoming & friendly.

Do not forget The Smugglers, When on the Devon beat, It sits beside the Teignmouth Road, And is an excellent place to eat. Many thanks for 4 x excellent meals while we were visiting Dawlish for 4 nights from Mon28/11/2011. All bar and restaurant staff very friendly and accomodating. We will certainly be back again when in the area.

As a vegetarian who doesn't eat dairy, I fell through the door of Herbies with heavy relief. Eateries in the south west are so very limited in vegetarian options, and those offered ALWAYS involve buckets of cheese. But, at last, I found a place in Herbies which offers vegetarian food cooked by vegetarians, rather than disgruntled, gurdging carnivores. The menu is entirely vegetarian - the Vs next to selected dishes mark vegan meals, to boot. I had a simple burger, wedges and salad at lunchtime, and it was v tasty indeed. The menu is extensive and homemade, and it's not only veggies who would enjoy the food here. The staff were cheerful and welcoming, and most of the clientele when I visited were clearly regulars - always a good sign.

So, you are a vegetarian or a vegan? Finding vegetarian food when eating out is becoming easier these days although choice is often limited to spicy bean-burgers and little else. However, finding vegan food is still very difficult indeed. Herbies restaurant is one which specializes in vegetarian and vegan food and provides a good choice of food of excellent quality. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Is it perfect? Well, no, but my only criticisms are it does not open late enough for evening meals and it only offers soya milk as an option to cow's milk. It would be better if oat milk and rice milk were options. However, those points aside, it is refreshing to find a place which cares about people who do not eat meat or dairy produce and gives them a great choice.
