Devon Restaurant Guide
Welcome to the Devon Life Restaurant Guide 2008.
Over the last ten years, there has been such an explosion of culinary delights throughout the county that it is difficult to know where to turn for the next gastronomic experience: difficult, but intensely pleasurable, turning dining out into something of an art form.
It goes without saying that dining well means eating fresh and there will be few high-class restaurants that don’t aim to source as much produce as possible from the region, such is the quiet revolution that has been going on in kitchens around the county.
However, there is also an ever increasing move towards the cosmopolitan menu, and that means exotic foods as well the more traditional British fare. So, with specially imported herbs and traditional ingredients, combined with the produce grown within the locality of the particular restaurant, it means that the taste of foreign climes can be just as authentic in the county as it would be abroad.
Who needs to travel far when good eating is right on your doorstep, with fresh food prepared by chefs passionate about their calling and served with care and diligence by front-of house people who really want you to enjoy your evening. Whether it’s chopsticks or fine linen and silver service, there’s something to suit every palate and inclination in this very short guide to restaurants.
If we made it as big as it deserved to be, you wouldn’t be able to get it in the glove compartment of your car and that is no exaggeration. We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to find a restaurant near to where you live with maps showing the approximate locations, so take the gastronomic tour we’re offering up here. It will be well worth it.
