Best Seasonal Restaurants in Totnes

Really enjoyed our new year’s day evening dinner at Bayards Cove inn. Very zen, cosy with excellent and attentive service. We all really enjoyed the food. Starters we enjoyed were arancini, potato croquettes, mackerel pate and thermidor crab. Beautifully presented as well as being delicious. Mains - haddock chowder with sourdough bread which was perfect for my post new year’s eve hungover stomach, steaks and the 13 year old ordered mac and cheese off the kids menu which was ideal. The 13 year old then went on to enjoy vanilla icecream and mango sorbet served delightfully in a frozen ceramic teacup with fresh strawberries, blueberries and an amaretti biscuit on the side. We left full and sleepy, and very satisfied. Final thing - dog friendly. The dog was clearly enjoying the zen vibes too sleeping contentedly under our table for the duration of our meal.

We went to the Linny on Sunday 22nd. We had the roast lamb, which was excellent. We liked it so much that we decided to go again today (27.12). Again, our meal was very good. I had the turkey curry and my husband had liver and bacon. Everything was cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and welcoming

An outstanding lunch for our Anniversary. From the moment we arrived the visit became special, the staff attention to detail was a delight and the lunch tasting menu was perfect with the accompanying wine flight. The staff were amazing - never there until they were needed but attentive and efficient around every course,then they disappeared again! Wonderful. A perfect enue that has been a delight on every visit!

Loved everything about our time in Emilia, the food was exceptional as were the two front of house staff who managed the restaurant so competently throughout service. Highlights in no particular order: vermouth, ragu, pumpkin. Thank you so much
