THE RESTAURANT 71

The Restaurant 71 is the kind of place that impresses with its tapas, as James says it’s the best in Ilfracombe. You’re greeted with a welcoming vibe from Dawn and Clive, who know how to make you feel at home. Joseph loves their cocktails, claiming they actually taste like drinks and not just juice with a shot. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual dinner or a night out, this spot seems to have you covered.

But let’s not pretend it's perfect; while most diners rave about the food, a few voices suggest that it doesn’t quite hit the mark for everyone. If you're in the area, it might be worth checking out, but go in with moderate expectations.
