The Elephant - Carta

We ate upstairs which is a lovely restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere. Tis quite expensive but well worth it. A table for two by the window overlooking the harbour would be the perfect romantic meal.

What a Surprise! A smart place (and no punn! They gave me the BEST Fish and Chips I have ever had!! Well done them. Staff were attentive and informed. The menu was as Gordon Ramsay would suggest short but good. 9/10 I would recommend

I have tried the Elephant several times and have been disapointed on each visit.I did give the benefit of doubt as the first time was its opening week some years ago . If you want a much better meal and cheaper try No 7 just up the road. Ver carta

We ate at this delightful restaurant the night before our departure from this beautiful and fun Devon playground. The food and service were superb as well as good value for money. We ordered a fixed price three course meal. The fish was so fresh and superbly prepared. Many local diners head for the 7 Restaurant a few doors down. We had no reservations and the 7 was full so we tried The Elephant. The ambiance was delightfully quiet, dignified and somewhat reserved. The dress should reflect that type of venue. We were definitely under dressed but were welcomed anyhow. We recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

The Elephant is a really good place to eat. Michelin star and plenty of awards. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for with food made from quality ingredients prepared and cooked to a high standard. There is a Brasserie and an upstairs restaurant but the Brasserie is smart and atmospheric and there is an overlap on the menus. The standard is high and consistent and there is a decent selection of wine with some reasonably priced bottles from the old and new world. Service is friendly and efficient. Last meal involved quail egg salad and smoked trout starters; sea bream and halibut mains well presented with good fresh flavours. An excellent lemon tart with nicely sharp passion fruit sorbe...

First Impressions go along way in my book, so when we walked into this quite empty restaurant at 8.45pm and after a couple of minuets waiting was met by the waitress who on asking if they had a table for two, the waitress then proceeded to look at her watch and in an indignant manner said oooh yes. I was on the verge of waking out but I am pleased to say I didn't, because the food was excellent. I had Scallops followed by Venison (which was cooked perfectly) we finished of with a selection of cheese's, my partner had Mussels followed by belly pork, to finish she had ice cream and sorbet. The waitress throughout our meal seemed to want to rush us which when you are paying over £80.00 for a me... Ver carta

REALLY NICE RESTAURANT.... EXCELLENT SERVICE Before visiting this restaurant I was a little bit concerned about some of the reviews so we booked a table at The Orange Tree. However, I booked our reservation on the wrong day so when we arrived on Saturday 26th February, THe Orange Tree were unable to seat us due to my mistake. Fortunately The Elephant had space to seat us at the last minute. I am so glad that we chose to dine here in the end. Food was superb, service was excellent. They even take note of who has ordered what, so when the food arrives your order is placed in front of you without you having to say 'thats what I ordered etc ' Food was fantastic, ambiance was superb, service was...

This restaurant clearly earned its Michelin Star, both for food and presentation. I started with crab crumpet, fresh local crab on a crumpet with two other unique elements. My daughter started with beetroot samosas and they were gorgeous. For my main, went with the duck and it was also exquisite. Sliced thinly with a great jus and again several other elements on the plate I could not identify but added many great layers to the taste. We also shared green beans and zucchini (courgettes) and they were great. Fresh from the chef's garden and tasted that way. I normally pass on dessert but had to try it. I had strawberries with pistachio sponge, while I would have like more pistachio flavor it w...
