Where to eat in Dartmouth
Like most places in Devon, Dartmouth is full of people who really care about the quality of their food, which is why you’ll find the majority of restaurants use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. It means that you get seasonal dishes that are completely fresh, with many of the seafood dishes being caught the morning before it lands on your plate. It isn’t just seafood that is the focus here either, Dartmouth is surrounded by farmland and so the vegetables, fruit and meat that you see on the town’s menus will have been home grown and reared right here in the south west. The drinks menus are equally full of fine local fare, with wines, ales, ciders, beers and gins all being produced in the area – it would be rude not to have a tipple to finish off dinner really wouldn’t it?!
With its number of award winning attractions, busy events calendar and quality of its accommodation, it is no wonder that Dartmouth is a popular destination for visitors from all over. While there are plenty of things to do for families and there are many restaurants and eateries that offer child friendly menus and even play areas, it is also a great destination for solo travellers, corporate visits and group trips. The number of eateries in the region will mean that you’ll be spoiled for choice. There is a huge range of world wide cuisines available at both dedicated restaurants that cater menus exclusively for certain cuisines and at restaurants with wide and extensive menus, so whatever you’re in the mood for you’ll find it in Dartmouth.
