British, Modern Restaurants in Ivybridge
1. Àclèaf at Boringdon Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Plympton
Boringdon Hall - PL7
In early 2023, Scott Paton and his team added a Michelin star to their list of accolades at this impressive-looking five star near Plymouth, which is now in its fourth year of operation. The dining area occupies a raised gallery inside the great hall which it overlooks via a wooden balustrade, and is the venue for a four-course meal for £120 per person. Although there are modern flourishes, the cuisine is traditionally rooted and includes numerous luxury ingredients (lobster, truffle, caviar, crab, wagyu…).
2. The Bull Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Totnes
Rotherfold Square, Little Totnes - TQ9
This “amazing organic pub-with-rooms, serving great food with a conscience and really lovely wine list” is “different from the usual”. It’s owned and run by Geetie Singh-Watson, a self-proclaimed feminist and ethical publican who moved to Devon after meeting her husband, Riverford founder Guy Watson, on Soil Association business. She sold her London flat to finance the rescue of the run-down pub, which is “becoming an established favourite for Totnes residents and visitors, so it’s wise to book”.
3. Rock Salt
British, Modern restaurant in Plymouth
31 Stonehouse St - PL1
2021 Review: A “perennial favourite local relaxed foodie joint”, this ex-pub turned “bistro-cum-cafe-cum-restaurant” goes from strength to strength as a showcase for the “inventive food” of chef-owner Dave Jenkins, whose dishes “always delight, with lovely little touches and innovations that make total sense once you’ve tasted them”. They serve “great breakfasts, good-value lunches”, and “the best Sunday roast in town”.
4. Cornish Arms
British, Modern restaurant in Tavistock
15 West Street - PL19
John Hooker and wife Emma’s “lovely pub” en route to Cornwall was praised this year for some “really clever cooking without being fussy or complicated” (including “good venison from local stalkers”). Despite the “exciting things happening in the kitchen” of late, it has reassuringly “not lost its ‘pubbiness’”.
5. HonkyTonk Wine Library
British, Modern restaurant in Plymouth
2 North East Quay, Sutton Harbour - PL4
“On a summer’s day, there isn’t a better place to sip vino!” than this wine shop/deli, which has an excellent setting with views over Sutton Harbour. There’s a selection of generous (not inexpensive) sharing platters, cheeses, and nibbles. The best bets are the Honkytonk Creole Dishes (say spatchcock chicken with fries and slaw for £25).
6. Hope Cove House
Fish & seafood restaurant in Hope Cove
Inner Hope - TQ7
2023 Review: “Worth a detour. Have been coming since they opened under new ownership in 2019 and it’s only grown in strength despite the pandemic. Absolute gem!” – limited but very enthusiastic feedback on this 14-bedroom hotel on the South West Coast path, with commanding views of the sea and looking over Hope Cove beach (which is yards away). The food is brasserie-style fare (sirloin, red mullet, confit duck…) and good value.
