The best restaurants in Ilfracombe Central North Devon South West

Even in December, when the town is quiet, the food was superb and the service could not be faulted.

This little tea room was the perfect place to stop. Everything was homemade and delicious (especially the scones!). Service was friendly and I would recommend to everyone to stop for food and especially if you are looking for a proper cream tea!!

Excellent service and the food is delicious

We visited this restaurant whilst in town for a few days, it’s a small place so make sure you book. The food was very good, well presented and perfectly seasoned. The service too was attentive and friendly. We would happily come here again, it’s a very good and well ran place.

Beautiful little cafe and cocktail place with amazing cakes

Beautiful haddock cooked while we waited. Friendly and helpful staff. Five stars all round

We booked for three of us on a cold misty night in December. We had a very warm welcome from the team at Take Thyme and their service was great. The food was fresh, hearty and tasty. A wonderful local venue for a cosy meal. Thank you for having us!

Cannot give any stars as place didn't seem to exist, followed map and 3 promenard is a double fronted place with sofa's no name on the front and closed although on checking for places to eat said it was open, did show any signs of being somewhere to eat.

We recently popped in for take away fish and chips. We ordered 2 fish, a small chips, gravy and mush peas. The cost seemed a little steep but the food was absolutely incredible. Cooked perfectly. Good reasonable sized portions Would definitely recommend and would return if in the area

Well the coffee was great, went back again and it was still great. The cinnamon swirl was great how do you choose with so much lovely cakes on offer, Missed out on the Victorian sponge wonder if they could post me a few slices.

Booked for my wife’s birthday lunch apart from the weather being a bit fresh . We were supply blankets and a hot drink. The fish food platter was amazing value Can’t wait to return

Nic has done an excellent revamp on his pub/ restaurant . We went last night. Had excellent food and cocktails and the service was amazing. Waitress came to check all was good with our food. The place was very busy so book yourself in and try the amazing new dishes they’re serving up.

This place has such a great reputation and I know why now. My wife goes here every week with a social group and I think I will try and be a bit more of a regular visitor. Lovely ambience, excellent service, the food is top quality and the prices are reasonable. What more can you ask? I had a sausage sandwich. There were three sausages and they were decent proper butchers sausages too, not cheapo rubbish.

Nice little spot to stop and have lunch. Dog friendly and homely feel in the garden. There are plenty of small cheeky birds looking for crumbs and just a nice atmosphere all around. The menu is basic and affordable, and the welcome was a warm one. Overall, a nice spot for lunch.

Stumbled across the cafe when we arrived in Ilfracombe and needed coffee. Quaint and characterful and clearly has it's regular customers. Coffee was good and hot but the homemade Eccles cake was amazing! The other treats looked good too. Coming across The Naked Cake cafe was the best thing about Ilfracombe which was otherwise, tatty and very down at heel.
