Best Restaurant in Devon With Sea View
On a summer's evening, you simply cannot beat the stunning views of hope cove offered by this popular venue. Diners can enjoy a delicious meal overlooking on of the UK's most beautiful seaside locations. If you come to breakfast you'll witness the cool sunrise as it lights the beach from behind the hotel. If you come to lunch, you could be served extra helpings of sunshine on the terrace with uninterrupted views of Hope Cove's golden sands.
However, if you come to dinner, every night (weather depending) the sunset over hope cove is simply extraordinary.

Dinner Menus
We operate nine daily dinner menus with a good selection of quality food including fish, meat, vegetarian and vegan options all with table service. For younger diners we can also offer simpler dishes of burgers, chips and other child friendly options.
Our menus can all be read on our website here together with our drinks and bar menus. Many of our evening menus offer the opportunity to order special items such as lobster. Lobster at Hope Cove is particularly tasty and we are well known for our sister restaurant the Lobster pod bistro which is next door to the hotel. This bistro style restaurant offers more informal food with a focus on fish and lobster.
If you would like to order lobster to be served at dinner please speak to us in advance, giving at least 24 hours notice.
