Will always eat here the food and service is second to none. Scrambled eggs instead of fried - no problem. A very enjoyable experience. Will visit again soon.

Love going to this little bistro, food is high quality and service is excellent time after time. I've had lunch and evening meals here and can recommend it all. Also don't forget to book to avoid disappointment as I made that mistake once and had to eat elsewhere.

This little bistro in St James Place Ilfracombe is the jewel in the town. The food is second to none and the servise first class. The menu is well thought out and varied to suit all tastes.

Came upon this little bistro by chance as it is well hidden. It wasn't fully open for the season yet and had put on a Valentines Special Menu. It was great value being 2 courses for £16.95 per person (£20+ for 3 courses). The choice was small but lovely. We received a marvellous welcome from the owners who couldn't be... More
