The best restaurants in South West

We were a large group dining here to celebrate two of our friend’s birthdays, and it’s safe to say we’ll be coming back to celebrate every occasion and more! The restaurant and outside spaces are beautiful, the staff were fantastic and really looked after us, and the food was exceptional!!

Delicious 3 course meal deal from Old Dairy Kitchen the treacle tart and fresh brandy custard was outstanding 😋

Walked around the harbour towards the town, we found this appealing cafe. We're from Wales so thought it would be nice to say hello (cwtch is Welsh for cuddle or hug). The Welsh owners were very welcoming (and speak perfect English for any of those who think this is just for Welsh people). We had a cream tea (and coffee) and spent a while in the company of these lovely, warm, welcoming people. It felt more like having a cuppa and catch up with friends. The walk up to the cafe is a little steep for anyone less able, but not too difficult, and it's definitely worth a visit to the cafe tea room. Had we planned on staying in Brixham longer I think we'd have popped in most days. They also have a "pay forward" scheme, whereby you can pay for an extra cup or food for someone who may need a little "cwtch" later in the day.

Loved this little restaurant. Food, ambience,wine everything felt really special. The lady who runs it is an amazing host. Definitely one to try. And dog friendly x

We had an anniversary meal at this restaurant and it was a perfect way to celebrate. The staff are wonderful, professional and friendly. The food is to die for! I had chicken pie which was absolutely delicious, plenty of food and piping hot.. My husband had the Moroccan vegetable tureen, he is an extremely fussy veggie and he said his was the best vegetarian mrsl he'd ever had!

No one makes sandwiches as good as Dios. Today I bought 3 just for me because I’m greedy and also OBSESSED. delish 👌

Este es un gran café para comprar un pastel, café, pan, etc. El propietario trabaja duro para producir una gran variedad de pasteles. Como está cerrado los lunes, hay una gran selección al día siguiente.El café es una de las muchas delicias gourmet en la hermosa Widcombe. Espero que el restaurante cercano se abra pronto.Ubicación ideal para la estación, río y canal. La ciudad es pequeña, por lo tanto, no se necesita coche para viajar a Widcombe.

WOW! What can we say!? Chris & Katie catered lunch at our beautiful outdoor wedding at Moonacre, Sturminster Marshall. They had a fantastic layout and lots of menu options available - several different burgers, wieners & fries! They absolutely smashed the service and excelled at feeding a few more than expected too! They made us a gorgeous little personalised menu also which we thought was such a nice touch! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their food was - even those who would never normally consider vegan options were blown away at how great everything tasted! They managed to positively influence even the most stubborn meat-eaters of our guests to realise that they don’t need to miss out on flavour when choosing vegan options! That’s a huge win in our eyes! 🖤 A couple of people even said it was the first ever vegan food they’d tried and they couldn’t get over how amazing it was! We told our guests about the Mighty Wieners restaurant in Bournemouth and will be bringing people back for more as they couldn’t wait to try more options! The day was such a huge success and Chris & Katie did such an incredible job! We can’t recommend them enough, for food at their restaurant and wedding & events catering! 🍔🖤🌭

Oh wow!! Absolutely fabulous food and I’m coming back to try more of the menu. We had the Buddha bowl and the quiche. Amazing flavours. I’m told the chef is vegan and he certainly knows what he’s doing in the kitchen.

We came for coffee in the morning, and liked it so much that we came back for lunch. Lovely staff, and the food was delicious. Can recommend the Welsh Rarebit and Chicken Gyros!

Excellent food in a novel environment. The stables' surroundings have been reserved really well. It was a please to be there. When the weather is good, the courtyard has loads of tables and probably gets the sun most of the afternoon in season.

We visit Just Bean Ground every time we go to Poole. Excellent food and friendly service, even gave our dog a treat too.

Whilst having a stroll around Mousehole we came upon the Orange Cafe Bar by chance with it being up a lane just away from the harbour. We did not immediately realise it was a vegan cafe but that was not an issue for us. The staff were warm and friendly, explaining the dishes so that we could make an informed choice. We went for the burger (patty) and cake, both of which were delicious. People often shy away from eating this type of food but on this showing they should give it a go, which saw two diners leave very happy.

Best Sunday roast lunch we have had in a long time, quality ingredients, plenty of vegetables, friendly service. Will definitely recommend and will be back.
