Been eating with Sarah and Paul since their last restaurant and The Antidote is really showing their identity with sleek decor and a beautiful atmosphere. Sarah is a wonderful, charming and accommodating host and Paulâs cooking is to die for. Restrained, focused and full of deliciousness. Canât wait to come back. The sea bream in particular was an exquisite dish!

Started off with a speciality gin and tonic, chosen from several on the menu, which was so competitively priced for a restaurant. All of the food, and we had three course each, was beautifully prepared and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Our meal here was simply incredible. The seafood was so fresh and delicious, and the service was good too. We had sole goujons, lemon sole catch of the day and delicious puddings afterwards. Definitely need to book if you want to go here at any time but would certainly recommend it!

Since I don't live in the UK it's been a while since I went to a traditional British cafe. This is a good find if you are looking for this type of fare but don't come here if you are looking for haute cuisine in any way. The menu has such delights as egg on toast, beans on toast etc. etc. You get the idea. These are cooked within sight of the smallish dining room on a small, two ring hob! It is all quite something from days gone by and there is nothing wrong with that. It is table service, and we were here late morning for hot chocolate on a cool, blustery day. Service is reasonably fast and is friendly so nothing to complain about. Some folks on the table next to us ordered egg on toast and it looked fine although, certainly not imaginative though. There need to be places like this and I enjoyed our short visit here but really, this is not my thing, being the culinary snob I am. I would certainly come here for tea/coffee/hot chocolate as we did this time, but honestly, I can't see myself eating here. Looks as though it is licensed since there are beers and wines listed on the board here. Glad we dropped in.Thank you for your kind review. It is a small point but I feel that you have underestimated our kitchen capability. Just for your information we have a 4 ring hob, 3 flat-top grills and a double oven! As well as beans and egg on toast we do a variety of different breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas - catering for all appetites. Best Regards, the team at Adele's Cafe.

Managed to get a late booking on Monday night for 2. Small restaurant with a definite red theme. Food was excellent: high quality ingredients cooked simply with considerable skill. Starter: Open pasta with crab and a lemon sauce (delicious). Main: monk fish wrapped in ham, on a lobster risotto (delicious). Pudding: Tiramisu (very good). Delicious white wine from a small reasonably priced wine list. Good service. Reasonable price (approx £75 for 2 including wine). Highly recommended.

Passed here a few times on our trip and finally got in today. Food and service were fine and itâs clear they make an effort. However just needs a bit of TLC, wife not impressed with the loo and it was all a bit dusty. Simple things but it would stop us going again which is a shame. Thanks for giving the thumbs up for are food and service the building is very old and we try and keep up with the maintenance being by the sea and extremely windy conditions dust and sand can get blown in which we try to keep under control. We always regularly clean the toilet and in between customers if it is brought to are attention any problems we try are upmost to sort things out.we are currently coming to an end of very busy season and admit things do start to look tired and will take your comments on board and as we always do smarten things up for next season yours faithfully Ap Ownsworth

This is a true gem in the small coastal town of Ilfracombe in Devon UK. A top chef in an unpretentious setting with truly divine food for seafood lovers. Excellent service and explanations all through our 6 course tasting menu. We were all very full at the end and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - even one who is not a real fish lover!
