The Restaurant at Gara Rock
Salcombe - East PortlemouthThis is a fabulous place to dine and is a beautiful and stunning cliff walk from the other side off the estuary.
This is an amazing place to dine out for lunch or a celebratory meal like a birthday or an anniversary. The food is stunning - not only are you eating with your eyes (it’s beautifully presented), the aromas and explosions of flavour are mind blowing - as good as a Michelin star restaurant.
Located in the next town (Kingsbridge) it’s about 6 miles from Salcombe.

Lobster Pod Bistro
It’s a bit of a drive to get to, but the fish and chips are amazing. The view of Startbay (you can see from Dartmouth past Blackpool Sands and all along Slapton Sands and around to Start Point Lighthouse). A perfect way to end an evening is to sit on the beach with your fish and chips and hopefully watch the moon rise above the horizon as the sun sets behind you)
