Incredible gastronomic experience! The maître d'hôtel was very attentive and he really knew about the food that was being served. We ate a la carte and each and every dish was delicous! It is not so expensive considering the quality you get. We definitely recommend it and we will try to repeat soon!
The food here was incredible and the service was impeccable! We had the a la carte menu, everything we had was amazing but the scallops to start were a show stopper. Very nice and reasonably priced drinks were recommended by the staff who were very knowledgeable.
We had the tasting menu and enjoyed every single dish. Elly was kind enough to let us swap the duck liver course for scallop. Our favourite dish was the sea bass, with the lamb loin a close second. The service was friendly and attentive. They do a lunch deal which looks like excellent value. Lovely location, and if you get a window seat you can see all the activity going on in the harbour. If you call ahead you may be able to get a private parking spot for £10, if not, it’s worth allowing a bit of extra time to find one- there are spots where you can get 2 hours for free, but if you are having the tasting menu you may want more time. The espresso was excellent quality as were the petit fours.
Many thanks to Ellie and her team for the delicious birthday lunch! The new menu du jour option was a bargain we couldn’t pass up. Everything was delicious as well as beautiful. The starter Gougères were “to die for"; we just wish there had been four per couple; it’s difficult to share three. The English sparkling rosé was particularly good. We look forward to coming again!
Went here as never been to Michelin star restaurant. Yes it was exactly what I expected. Exquisite tastes and beautifully presented but of course small portions and EXPENSIVE. Wouldn't bother again. I'd choose Riverford Field Kitchen every time although it's a different thing of course.
My wife and I had an exceptionally good dining experience at the Angel this New Years Eve , The food was really superb and the service exemplary . It is very surprising that Elly has not yet been awarded a Michelin star as the quality and execution of the cooking in our opinion certainly deserves it . We have been to a number of Michelin starred restaurants who we consider fail to meet the standards that Elly and her team have set .
One of our holiday highlights has to be our meal at The Angel Taste of Devon. From the first taste of the crab arancini, to the final mouthful of the beautiful raspberry millefeuille - was incredible flavour and texture combinations you just wanted to savour. Plus the location is great for people watching and the service was great- especially when Elly Wentworth came over for a chat at the end of our meal (major fan girl moment after watching her amazing dishes on Great British Menu). Such a fab meal!
One of the top dining experiences we had in the Devon area over the past 12 months - we went with the Vegan tasting menu, it knocked the ball out of the park with every new course, terrific attention to detail & ingredient creativity. Decor pretty casual.
I haven’t been to the Angel since Joyce Molyeneux died and have to admit that I was a little disappointed with the experience last night. Not that I didn’t have a great meal... Elly Wentworth can definitely cook, that is not up for discussion. However, the overall experience is not where it needs to be to charge the money they’re charging...the service is most definitely not there. They’re not lacking enthusiasm...they’re lacking a firm hand front-of-house to train the people they have to operate at Michelin levels. I ate the following night at RockFish and, the food was less satisfying in most ways, the price was 60% less and the service was honest and straightforward...exactly what you’d expect at RockFish (and the food, while primarily firmed, was all executed incredibly well. We didn’t go for the tasting menu...we went with a starter & main instead. We both end the scallops to start and this was probably the highlight of the meal...just a fabulous mix of flavors from the perfectly cooked scallops to the pickled hazelnuts. Very nearly the perfect creation. However, neither of us had quite the same high opinion of our fish main courses, although my halibut was quite enjoyable. The pre-dessert was pretty average, 3 of the 5 cheeses (which we chose for the dessert course) were excellent but the other 2 disappointing and the coffee was fine (but does anyone judge the quality of a restaurant from the coffee?). If I could grade it out of 10, I’d give my dinner last night a 7/10...I just can’t give it a 4/5, as that is what I am giving RockFish. I expect more of a restaurant like the Angel...the food has to be consistently the best and it has to be complemented with the best service and ambience. The Angel is not quite there today.
