Wonderful restaurant, nice and relaxed atmosphere. Service was great, staff were attentive, very friendly and professional. Food was delicious, good value for money and generous portions!

Probably due to some of our party having mussels for starters, my burger was so soggy on the bottom it was not the best.Service and atmosphere good for a luncheon.

A real gem in the South-West!We have visited Barbican Kitchen 3-4 times now, on our visit to see family in Plymouth, from London. We always make a point to have a date night here. It is our most favourite place to eat, even amongst the Michelin-starred restaurants we have been to. We just love the cosy, unstuffy, relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant. The ingredients are always the best quality, seasonal and fresh- this is reflected on the pleasantly ever-changing menu.We love trying different plates and love the recommendations from the staff. The prices for plates are more than fair - they reflect the quality of the cooking, the ingredients and the service. We know that if this were in London, we'd likely pay more than double our bill for the same food!The variety of options are truly exciting. Portion sizes are just perfect, if not generous. There is something for everybody and every 'food-mood' you are in. My partner has thoroughly enjoyed their beef burgers and loves their grilled steak options!I have a personal affinity for the 'catch of the day' and the other fish dishes on offer. I also often find myself dreaming about my next encounter with their sticky toffee pudding...A special mention must be made for the staff that work here (won't name names for privacy reasons). Attentive, not intrusive or pressurising and incredibly welcoming. Always vigilant of when we need a top-up of water!We love how friendly, polite and genuinely informative the staff are here. They go over and beyond to make sure that you are well looked after. They are the real gems of this place along with the exquisite food; just seriously lovely people that you want to see again.Well done, Tanner Brothers!See you soon!

Great food. Duck egg starter was absolutely excellent and pork belly main also. Attentive, but not pressured service. Price reasonable as well for quality. All round recommend.

Me and my boyfriend went here on Saturday to celebrate his birthday, all of the food was gorgeous and the restaurant had a lovely vibe, our waiter was so lovely and really made the evening for us, they did a birthday desert for my boyfriend too and made the whole evening feel very special. Really recommend.
