The Elephant, on Torquay’s harbourside, was the seaside town's first restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star – which it has maintained for 14 years.

Chef-proprietor Simon Hulstone and his wife, Katy, source many ingredients from the restaurant’s dedicated farm in Brixham, and can often be found visiting the county’s family-friendly foodie spots with their young children. “There are lots of little places to discover,” says Hulstone…

The Church House Inn at Marldon

“A quintessentially Devon country pub overlooking the village cricket green. We go there for a roast with the children on a Sunday: it’s a real treat, great for country walks via Berry Pomeroy Castle and Compton Castle.”

Cafe ODE

“A really cool set-up overlooking Shaldon Bay. Michel Roux-trained chef Tim Bouget is hugely into sustainability and organic produce, and dogs are welcome in ‘The Dog House’. There’s a play area and wood-fired pizzas served from a vintage horse box.”

“A hotel and spa with pub-style seasonal food overlooking Babbacombe Beach. It’s a steep drive to get there, but we go for lunchtime bites, to spot seals and dolphins, and watch the boats go by.”

“A traditional tea room in a Grade II listed manor house. With its thatched cottages, visiting Cockington is like going back in time. Catch a horse and trap there and then tuck into Devon scones done properly – cream before jam!”
