The Galley, TopshamThe Galley fish and seafood restaurant promises ‘the best of Devon on a plate’, and its stylish meals have made it top of the TripAdvisor reviews! There’s an a la carte menu available for lunch and dinner, and the restaurant welcomes children all day. Expect a warm greeting from Nigel at the front of house when you arrive, and enjoy the huge selection of fine seafood and wines. The menu changes daily, so if you’ve already been you’ll find plenty to try out anyway! The Galley manages to mix a relaxed vibe with impressive, sophisticated meals.

The Smuggler's InnIt’s not just the panoramic sea views that make The Smuggler’s Inn a favourite, guests of self-catering Devon accommodation also love its informal, no-nonsense food. The seating area outside this friendly restaurant is THE place to be seen on a sunny day in Dawlish, and the carvery is one of the county’s finest. There’s a family area, so those with little ones can relax over a drink or enjoy a meal while making use of the pool table, sweet dispensers and dart board. The ‘pasture to plate’ meats are a great way to sample the local produce.

The Colosseum, TeignmouthThe Colosseum in Teignmouth is another regular in the TripAdvisor reviews. This isn’t the largest of restaurants, so if you’re in a smaller group or a couple on a self-catering Devon holiday then it’s perfect. Diners enjoy the fresh, authentic Italian cuisine and the warm atmosphere. South Devon’s Teignmouth is an unassuming little town close to Torbay, and its coastal scenery makes it a lovely spot for a romantic meal out for two .It’s best to book a table before trying The Colosseum as it attracts new and loyal customers all year round.

Described as a cottage dining room with homemade food by one reviewer, this cosy Ilfracombe restaurant is a firm favourite with those self-catering in Ilfracombe. The menu is careful to keep the traditional meals that we all secretly love, as well as offering a few surprises for those of you who like to try something more unusual! Expect a homely restaurant with welcoming owners and great service. Combe Cottage is a great choice for lunch or a casual dinner during a visit to Devon, and its setting in a pretty cottage on the High Street will make you feel even more like you’re in the countryside!

The Orange Tree, TorquayThe Orange Tree Restaurant is a fantastic restaurant in beautiful Torquay, and it specialises in English European meals. This old favourite is a must for a special occasion during a holiday in self-catering accommodation in Devon holiday. It may be a little pricier than some of the other favourites, but if you’re celebrating a landmark or just fancy indulging then it’s more than worth splashing out! Highlights from the menu include fillet of sea bass with almonds and capers, and pheasant with pancetta and choucroute. Sounds good to us!
