Devon

From Dartmoor dining pubs to ambitious coastal restaurants, discover the best restaurants in Devon with the Trencherman’s Guide.

Two coastlines, vast stretches of farmland and the wild landscapes of Dartmoor and Exmoor give Devon’s chefs plenty to play with. And play they do.

Across the county, a new generation of independent restaurants is flourishing alongside established favourites. You’ll find accomplished cooking in tucked-away village inns, seafood worth seeking out along the coast, and destination restaurants where the creativity of the kitchen is every bit as compelling as the setting.

What makes Devon’s dining scene particularly exciting is its range. A relaxed lunch in a country pub can be as rewarding as an elaborate tasting menu, provided the ingredients, cooking and hospitality are right.

Our selection of the best restaurants in Devon celebrates precisely that breadth, bringing together outstanding places to eat in Exeter, Dartmouth, Dartmoor, North Devon and beyond.
