Neil's Restaurant

About

Welcome to Sidmouth’s best fish restaurant.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, want somewhere to enjoy an exquisite meal while on holiday or just somewhere to meet your friends for tasty food and an excellent atmosphere, Neil’s Restaurant is the place for you. With a daily updated menu and dedicated staff who know and love local produce.

Neil’s Restaurant can be found in the heart of Sidmouth, just a short walk from the beach and Esplanade, the restaurant is within easy reach of Beer, Lyme Regis and Exeter with ample free parking on the road outside.

At Neil’s freshness and sustainability are equally as important as great taste, which is why our menu is updated daily. Our goal is to use the freshest ingredients that are caught locally, so as the seasons change, so does the menu. This makes sure that you have the very best meal possible and we know exactly how and where each fish is caught. Getting the best flavours means knowing where each ingredient comes from and thanks to our working partnership with the local fishermen and merchants, we can produce beautifully tasty dishes all year around. This really is the place to eat if you want the freshest Devon food cooked in sympathetic and delicious ways. Whether you’re here for a celebration or just your evening meal, every single dish is important and each one starts with the raw ingredients, much of which comes in from the Jurassic Coast.

Neil, Neil’s Restaurant’s proprietor and chef,  has many years of experience working in some of Bristol’s top hotels before moving to Devon in 1988 to be closer to the food he loves to cook the most. After working in some of the most respected kitchens and with the most talented chefs, Neil has created a real gem of a restaurant in the beautiful seaside town of Sidmouth. At Neil’s the décor is just as good as the food, with an informal and contemporary design allowing you to actually see Neil at work.

The entire team here love fish and have years of experience in selecting the best produce. This combined with the deep knowledge of local suppliers that comes after years of working in the Beer and Sidmouth region means that you get excellent food at excellent value every time you visit.
