The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South West

Lovely little gem of a place. Amazing food, great service, very welcoming. A charming little treasure trove to wander around with a beautiful sunny court yard at the back, very relaxing. So glad I found this place I will certainly be returning. Highly recommended if you’re in or passing through Ilminster you won’t be disappointed 😊

We had lunch here today, in the garden. We chose the sweet potato burger (with a yummy brown roll and a delicious sriracha mayonnaise) and the Buddha box (brown rice, falafel, hummus, veg) and thought both were excellent for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike - tasty and healthy and not expensive. I don’t know when I was last so impressed with a meal in a cafe! Service with a smile, too.

We had afternoon tea arranged on our narrow boat to celebrate a birthday treat. The food was of excellent quality, beautifully presented with everything for tea making and a superb selection of sandwiches and cakes, the best we have experienced anywhere. One of our party needed gluten free selection and this was also done very well. Congratulations to the caterers, you did a splendid job.

Spot on, just had lunch today .catered for my special diet well . Beautifully presented and excellent lunch… Highly recommended 5*

Very good breakfast as we specifically chose to sample thier shakshuka! It was great and good selection of teas. Staff were friendly and it's dog friendly too. Would definitely return.

Can't recommend No.8 Cafe enough. Friendly staff. Nice inside and out. Off the East Street so nice and secluded. I had the Little Breakfast - which was enough and very tasty. Every element well made and sourced. I especially like the mushroom with thyme, cooked for a perfect amount of time and not swimming in butter like usual. Bang on! Had a really nice coffee too. Go!

Amazing!!!! Food and service is always 5*. We are regular customers and wouldn’t go anywhere else for dinner. All reasonably priced and a lovely atmosphere with super helpful and friendly staff.

Came here for breakfast whilst staying in the area. Lovely breakfast , freshly cooked. Friendly and efficient service - would highly recommend!

Comfortable surroundings, friendly staff, excellent menu, good prices. I had delicious Eggs Benedict- perfectly cooked and served up on two hash browns. This is my favourite place to eat in Barnstaple.

Pristine & welcoming independent little cafe serving proper tea in teapots & delicious homemade cake. Thoroughly recommended!

We came on a dull January day to visit the cathedral and stopped in for a sandwich. I’m so glad we did! Toasted sandwiches were amazing. Fresh ingredients freshly made well stuffed and delicious. Great quality tea and other drinks. It was so good. We came back after our visit for cakes which were equally wonderful. A little gem and literally the best toasted sandwiches we’ve ever had. Interestingly, the day after coming here, we went for a posh afternoon tea costing an arm and a leg at a famous restaurant in Oxford. It did not hold even a tiny candle to these wonderful toasted sandwiches. This was a triumph of an excellent local business, killing it in the face of massive competition from bland, overpriced chains. Bravo!

A clean breakfast style cafe. Welcoming attentive and good service from the staff, good value for money too. Will try it again

Had a family trip to the Hop for their roast dinner. Absolutely gorgeous food, as always. We had roast lamb, beef and pork and all were amazing. Also sampled some puds, toffee sponge pudding and lemon tart was also just as good. A+ You’ve definitely got to try eating here. Book to ensure a table on Sunday

Self serve wines were a bit of a faff. Nice place. Cheese and Charcuterie were ok. With one person serving other customers and preparing food it was a bit lack lustre if you wanted wine tasting experience and ask more about wines to choose, hence we opted for the self serve pre pay card machine, but kept malfunctioning, however the gent did all he could and was welcoming. I think it would be more interesting with a large group or event evening if you wished to try more wines.
