Eating Out
11 The Quay
The Quay Restaurant and White Hart Bar is the latest culinary expedition by Damien Hirst and is home to a unique and substantial collection of the artist's works with the Harbourside room dedicated to the Pharmacy theme and many other examples throughout using butterflies, fish and shells.
Hirst has backed Simon Browne and his team in this refreshing restaurant and bar. Formerly The White Hart Inn. The classical fronted building has been beautifully restored and now relates well to the stunning views out to the Atlantic and the traditional harbour of this ancient port...http://www.terracetapasbar.co.uk/

Ilfracombe Fish and Seafood, Mullacott Beef and Veg from Braunton and Combe Martin have contributed to Clarets success from day one and the rustic country cuisine on some wonderfully crafted menus.

The Terrace Tapas & Wine Bar
A bustling restaurant serving authentic Spanish Tapas. A perennial favorite, the warmth of service and an unhurried, relax style of dining have been a huge hit. Share great food with friends in a truly continental atmosphere, while away an evening, wash down with Rioja and good conversation. Perfect.
Look out for the Tapas for a Tenner!...http://www.terracetapasbar.co.uk

La Gendarmerie
La Gendarmerie is housed in Ilfracombe's stunning old police station where your hosts Paul and Sarah have created a stylish modern brasserie where rustic charm meets contemporary design. The dining room is spacious and unimposing with an open kitchen that always adds a little theatre to proceedings and what is especially nice here is a real warmth to the service that only a intimate, family run restaurant can provide. Great modern British food prepared with care and an attention to detail using the abundant fresh local produce from round about.
