The best restaurants in Plymouth South West

The Chancel has been one of our favourite places to eat in Plymouth for many years. During Covid and a bit longer they’ve been delivering or preparing for collection. Without much thought or any foreknowledge we walked down this evening hoping it might up and running for their traditional bistro food and good wines. Very disappointed therefore to find it dark, empty and will a To Let sign. No hint that there might still be an online service. Pity and we’re sad. Many dozens of happy memories.

A wonderful place to have a meal ,I would strongly recommend the breakfasts, all freshly cooked, a variety of beverages also. The staff are friendly and the Dock is also Disable friendly. Toilets are clean.also. Booking is strongly recommended.

I ordered some gift vouchers by post for family for Christmas, however they went missing in the post. I contacted the restaurant and they went above and beyond to get the replacement vouchers to the recipients. Absolutely fantastic service and great communication. My family love dining at here and I am told that the food and restaurant is wonderful. I am sure that they will enjoy using their vouchers. Thank you so much!

Disappointing Anniversary Meal – Would Not Recommend We decided to order from this establishment for our anniversary celebration last night at 8:00 PM, hoping for a memorable meal. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but enjoyable. We ordered the Korma King Prawn, Buhna King Prawn, Peshwari Naan, Chilli Naan, and Sag Aloo. Given the positive feedback from friends and my partner’s previous visit over a year ago, we had high expectations. However, the food fell far short. The King Prawns were unappetizing—mangled, reconstituted, and completely flavorless. The Korma sauce was watery and lacked any depth of flavor, while the Buhna King Prawns tasted oily and artificial. The Peshwari Naan was dry and powdery with no discernible sweetness or flavor. The accompanying dips were equally disappointing. The mango chutney tasted like warm, puréed syrup, while the white and red onion pickles were just plain chopped onions, completely unseasoned and lacking freshness. The yogurt dip was watery, bland, and unappealing. To make matters worse, both my partner and I experienced severe gastrointestinal distress after eating what little we could stomach from the meal. I attempted to contact the restaurant by phone to raise these concerns, but no one answered. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this establishment to others.

Came down today with family, for lunch ,lovely place have been here quite a few times ,service great food was lovely ,great place ,grandsons were well impressed with their burgers ,and adults just loved fish finger sandwiches .

The restaurant is calorific and unhealthy.

Visited for a cream tea but decided to upgrade to the ultimate afternoon tea. It was a mix of savoury and sweet with more than enough for the two of us. It was beautifully presented and the selection was just right, including the small cups of soup. The owner was very attentive and made sure that everything was to our liking, even getting me a blanket when I felt a little bit cold due to the great British weather not being able to decide if it wanted to be summer or winter. Will definitely be going again, and next time will be for the Sunday roast, which looked amazing. While reading the reviews on the Tudor Rose tea rooms I noticed that a few were slating the owner. This is completely unfair. She was friendly and welcoming and interacted with everyone. Much better than going somewhere that has staff that are uninterested and can’t wait to see you leave. Thank you Louise for a wonderful and soon to be repeated visit.

On a very wet New Year’s Day evening we stumbled into Meze. Warm welcome and attentive service. Food was plentiful and moussaka fabulous! Good choice of wine, thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

A great place to visit which is situated on Jenny cliff, the veiw from here is stunning ,it overlooks Plymouth Sound. An haven for dog walkers who are welcome into the cafe. There is a free car park just a minutes walk away.

Fantastic staffs, we had a lovely meal, the meat was delicious, I strongly recommend it.

We didn't eat a great new place.

Cracking service, great food, but possibly use newer fresher oil.next time.

Simply great from start to finish,our whole party was very impressed. Lovely warm inviting welcome. Followed by friendly, fast efficient service. Then the best thing,a superb value 2 course lunch at £14.50.Very large portions,freshly prepared hot food, full of flavour,and cooked very well.With plenty of tempting choice. The bill for 7 of us with drinks was £137. Incredible value for money. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Plymouth.

Continues to get better, another takeaway order, another amazing meal, the sesame chicken in sticky sauce is incredible, the Singapore noodles are a consistent order favourite. Arrived hot, fresh and fast, with usual vibrant flavours. Highly recommend this place 👌

I recently visited St Elizabeth’s with a group of friends for our annual Christmas get together. Everything was perfect - the food, the service, including the beautiful surroundings. I will definitely be coming back. It is a rare find these days and a little gem.
