It's Devon's best restaurant and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Service was discreet and professional and the food sublime with some amazing flavour combinations and perfect execution, exceeding our expectations. The Wine list was also commendable for a Michelin star restaurant with bottles starting from as little as £26 which we thought was very reasonable. A dish of chicken wings with bath cheese and raspberry was complimented with an onion puree and worked really well, despite my doubts when I read it on the menu. Diver Scallops with a Thai coconut sauce was outstanding, as was the deconstructed black forest gateaux for dessert! The only slight disappointment came with a lobster starter that was over powered by a chicken custard that accompanied it. Had I been blind folded, I would have said it was only chicken, as the lobster was unfortunately lost. The sommelier was charming and knowledgeable and although we did not go for the wine flight, the couple next to us did and it sounded fantastic. The restaurant is bistro style casual dining and the tables are quite close together with hard wooden chairs, not so well suited for a multi course tasting menu. Music was played throughout the restaurant which created a nice atmosphere and it's a stones throw from the harbour wall with parking opposite. Elephant is well worth a visit or detour and was a very reasonably priced for the amazing food and service we received, easily upholding it's 1 star status.

We took advantage of their set lunch menu and it was excellent, from the moment we arrive everything was first class - the food was perfect as was the ambiance. We're already making plans to head back for their tasting menu - taking our good friends so that they can also enjoy this very fine restaurant.
