Getting Around
Dartmouth does not have a major airport. The nearest transport hubs require train or car travel to other major cities in Devon, followed by a ferry or bus transfer into the town. Walking is the primary mode of transport within the town itself.
Best Season
Spring and summer months (May to September) offer pleasant weather, ideal for outdoor activities and harbor tours. This period sees higher tourist numbers, so booking hotels in advance is advised. Winter is quieter, suitable for travelers preferring solitude.

Dining
Andria
A grab bag of influences from across the world fuse together to wonderful effect at this popular high-street spot whose precise, well-crafted cooking contrasts with its rustic appearance. Dishes like gnocchi with onion soubise showcase Chef-Owner Luca Berardino's French and Italian heritage, while others look further afield, such as the cleverly thought-out scallops with roe sauce and carrot kimchi. Uniting the menu is a pride in local seafood, particularly from Torbay and Brixham. If you want a special experience, then book the chef's table upstairs.

You instantly feel at ease at this elegant bistro in a prime position overlooking the Dart Estuary. Food-themed art and framed former menus exude a sense of the passion poured into this long-standing, family-run spot, where the original owner's son is now cooking. The daily changing menu is a celebration of both local seafood and Italian cooking, with the day's catch used to power classic dishes like 'spaghetti alla vongole', plus whole fish cooked in the charcoal oven. Start with a cocktail in the lovely Joe’s Bar.

On Lower Well Farm, the home of Sandridge Barton wines, you’ll find this lovely converted barn serving a fresh taste of the seasons. The restaurant is in a sheltered spot tucked behind the shop and tasting room, with its own extensive terrace soundtracked by the gentle flow of a nearby stream. The daily, lunch-only menu makes the most of the local larder, from fish caught at Brixham to ceps picked on Dartmoor. There’s a wholesome element to the cooking, which ensures the true flavours of the ingredients shine through. Make sure you order a glass of their own wine.
