Antidote

I booked Antidote for my girlfriend’s birthday while we were in Devon. We weren’t disappointed, the food is amazing. Lovely cosy restaurant and the lady serving was so nice. We had the onion veloute, salmon, sea bream, pork sausage roll and chocolate and lemon posset. Everything was cooked to perfection. The price is good too at 3 courses for 39.99. Will be back as soon as possible !

Amazing food and great service. Came here for a birthday meal and really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere. The salmon and beetroot was fresh and delicious. The 3 course menu was good value for money and there wasn’t too much on the menu which is great to see, as you know everything is going to be perfect. A hidden gem for sure. Would highly recommend.

We eat out quite a bit, but can honestly say this was the best meal we’ve ever had. So often when you go out for a meal you’re left feeling a bit disappointed, but this was amazing. The service was perfect, friendly and welcoming, the menu (3 courses, with 3 options for each) was varied and appealing, and the quality of the food was outstanding. And at £40 for 3 courses it is also incredible value. We live over 200 miles away, but would plan a weekend in Ilfracombe just so we could eat here again. Thank you so much - in case you’ve not guessed, we rather enjoyed it! 😊

A first class dining experience with a great tasting innovative menu. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and suggest you book early as it is rightfully popular. The atmosphere was lovely, quite relaxed and a great choice of background music. The attention to detail in both the food and the place is apparent. We felt that there was also an abundance of passion emanating from the chef and the service team. Well done to the owners in creating a restaurant of this quality and in this part of Ilfracombe. We will come back again at the first opportunity. P.s my wife wants to know what the lovely fragrance was in the bathroom and where did you got it from?

Highly recommend! Accommodated our booking by allowing us early entry before the stated 6pm opening hours. The level of service and the attention to detail was excellent. Sarah in particular was incredible. She remembered every customer by name and was very attentive to everybody’s needs. The warm and welcoming environment complimented the food which was itself exquisite. If ever in Ilfacombe you must run to The Antidote!

It’s rare to find a place that simply does what it says it does - and very very well. The menu is simple and beautifully short allowing for flexibility & seasonality. Each dish is prepared and served simply with each element being considered and adding to the dish. Being family run makes for a wonderful atmosphere which adds to a great experience. The cocktails are clever, well made and delicious! Simply excellent and very well worth finding and following them if and when they change location.
