The Terrace Tapas and Wine Bar
62 Fore St, IlfracombeWe booked online in advance as recommended which was super easy. This is obviously a popular venue at the weekend as we couldn’t get a table until later on Saturday evening. \nHowever when we arrived we could t have been made to feel more welcome. The service was excellent, the hospitality was relaxed and friendly and we were offered advice about which dishes to choose. The gin list was extensive with a mixture of local and more well known gins to choose from. \nI highly recommend the Exmoor gin. The food was clearly cooked to order and it was delicious - the portions were generous and we were even able to bring some home! I highly recommend the sea food dishes but all the dishes in the menu sound super tasty. We will be returning! Thank you for a great evening.

IlfracombeGreat place for a family meal. 9 of us, including 7 adults, 2 infants plus 2 dogs, turned up without a booking at 5pm on a Sunday. Tiffany was incredibly helpful in accommodating us, helping us all settle and keeping us well looked after. The array of food ordered was all excellent and well priced. Highly recommended.

Tandoori Night
13-14, High St, IlfracombeWhile staying in Illfracombe, we visited tandori nights indian restaurant. I can honestly say it was one of the best Indian meals I have had. If there is anyone out there looking for a decent Indian, I can recommend you try this one. You won't be dissappointed.

The Dolphin Inn ltd
Seaside Hill, Combe Martin, IlfracombeAbsolutely incredible place. Beautiful location, wonderful decor and the food is outstanding! Been to Combe Martin a few times and tried out different pubs and the Dolphin is by far our favourite.\nHelga, the land lady, is lovely. She is welcoming, personable and genuinely can’t do enough to make you happy and comfortable. \nReading Emma from Didcots comment is quite difficult to digest.. (It’s Helga’s business and if she chooses to turn tables away, that’s Helga’s prerogative and certainly doesn’t make her ‘weird’) Perhaps if this is the attitude that Emma went into the pub with no wonder this is what she was met with… \nAnyway - highly recommend the dolphin for a friendly atmosphere, great locals, a good game of pool and most importantly, a decent pint and a beautiful meal!

The Hele Bay Pub
39 Beach Rd, Hele Bay, IlfracombeThis pub is an amazing local to the community. We travelled here over Christmas and they were so lovely! We had drinks one day and bingo/food on Boxing Day. I would highly recommend this pub and such a lovely atmosphere even when you’re not a local. We took our dog both times and they were so welcoming to us and him ❤️?

Spice lounge Indian cuisine
36 Greenclose Rd, IlfracombeMy partner and I stay near Ilfracombe a few times a year and we can’t believe we’ve never tried this restaurant, particularly because of our love for Indian food. The service was fantastic from all of the staff, but Ahmed in particular was really personable and helpful. The food was amazing, from the poppadoms to the prawn puri and onion Bhaji starters. We had a curry each - lamb tikka passanda and lamb tikka madras, a cheese and garlic naan and a peshwari naan, keema rice and chips. With the generous portion sizes meaning we couldn’t finish it, Ahmed kindly gave us containers to take it away in. All of the food was hot and super tasty with everything having different flavours (which you don’t find with some Indian restaurants), and with a number of nice cold beers each we were very pleasantly surprised at the bill! Thank you guys for a great meal, we will definitely be returning whether it’s to eat in or take away!

Maddys Chippy Ltd
25 St James Pl, Ilfracombevisited Ilfracombe for the first time in many years and the town has changed so much from what my childhood mind remembers. and several of my fav haunts no longer exist. \nused to visit maddy's a lot as a kid (although did think it was mandy's) \nwe arrived and the restaurant door was open but had the closed sign showing but they were open. we found a seat and looked over the menu. \nwe ordered 2 kids fish and chips and a normal nuggets \nthe restaurant was clean and tidy and the food did not take that long to arrive. there was a error in the nuggets as was delivered a kids portion but it was quickly rectified with more chips and a small wait for the extra nuggets. \nthe fish was fresh and meaty and almost as good as we remember from out last visit 15+ years ago

The Dolphin
7 The Quay, IlfracombeWe had two delicious meals at The Dolphin week commencing 20th October. Staff were friendly and attentive and wonderfully supportive when my husband's health issue caused a problem on our second visit. \nFood was delicious. I was delighted to see the gluten free menu and enjoyed prawns in gf batter on first visit and gf fish and chips on second. Fish pie was also highly praised by hubby. It's dog friendly and the dogs were given treats. \nWe hope to visit them again in the future.

Lynbay Fish & Chips Shop Restaurant & Takeaway
6 The Quay, IlfracombeThe fish and chips were brilliant! Everything was freshly cooked.
The cod was up there with the freshest that I've had.
The chips were easily 9/10 and the mushy peas were just how I liked them, the perfect amount of mush without them being completely blended.
The only downside to my visit was, I wanted to sit inside and eat. When my food was ready it had been wrapped up, I asked if I could eat inside and I was told it costs extra.
I don't have a problem with this, but it would have made sense to ask me if I wanted to eat in or take out in the beginning.
There was nobody else in the shop.
It did make me feel slightly unwelcome.
So for that reason alone I wouldn't go back there even though the food was great.

The Thatched Inn
Hillsborough Rd, IlfracombeNice pub, lively atmosphere. Was nice to have a seating area upstairs where it was a bit quieter as there was a large group downstairs. Staff were all really friendly & alerted us there could be a wait on the food because of the large group. However I wouldn’t have realised if she didn’t say as the food came out in a timely manner. Food was as expected but didn’t wow me. Car park is a bit tight and not many spaces.

The Angel
23 Church St, IlfracombeI cannot emphasise enough the quality of the food and the service at The Angel. My husband and I visited Ilfracombe for our 1 year anniversary and a few weeks before, I caught wind of this place and was lucky enough to get a table for 2 on a Saturday evening. My husband is vegetarian and I am a picky pescatarian and there was plenty on the menu for both of us. The food was really delicious, home cooked but prepared and served with professional style. We absolutely loved the aesthetic of the restaurant, it's intimate and beautifully put together. It was the best table service I believe I've ever had and we even had a chat with Carol the owner/chef about Sheffield, which she knew well. Whilst I understand they are now booked up until Christmas, if you ever get the chance to go, we would highly recommend it. What. A. Find.
Vegetarian options: I finished with the fruit cake and cheese. Oh my god so good.

Castle St, Combe Martin, IlfracombeMy wife and I called in for Dinner my first impression was that it was very quiet, however the locals and the staff were very friendly and quite happy to chat. We decided to try the steak I had a ribeye and she who shall be obeyed had the sirloin. The chief a South African chap came out and had a chat he took our order and he could not have done it better the food was excellent made fresh to order. If you are in Combe Martin don't be put off with the negative ninny reviews, or that its a bit shabby sheik its a nice place and you should try it I will definitely be back next time I am in Combe Martin.

The Quay, IlfracombeThree of us came in tonight 25.10.25 for dinner at 5.15. We ordered the Salmon, Chicken au Poivre and Gammon. We all enjoyed our meals, service was quick and the young girl was very friendly. My chicken was moist and the peppercorn sauce delicious, plates were warm too which is a bonus.
Pudding was cheesecake, fresh strawberries and I had chocolate ice cream with big chunks of chocolate yum!
We finished it off with coffee and agreed the food was delicious and we will be back.

Gurkha
Wilder Rd, IlfracombeFood was great, me and my brother loved the sweet and sour chicken and the beef in black bean sauce I think it was, bad reviews are misleading, waitress was kind and was quick to bring our drinks and take our drink order. The roof is not “mouldy” or “falling down” it’s merely just water leaks. It’s quite a pleasant atmosphere, fresh food comes out every few minutes and okay selection, there’s ice cream and cake and stuff for after! It’s a nice place and I totally recommend, we did not get sick or get salmonella like it said in one review. It was overall pretty good and enjoyed it! Would go again, and no you don’t pay £37 for a drink. Bad reviews outrageously incorrect. Recommend the chips and beef! And sweet and sour chicken!
