The Loft in East Devon

The location was surprisingly high up. Wait, I think I just got the joke: it's called the loft because it's upstairs. That's freaking genius.Definitely reserve a table if you're in the area, it's worth the stair climb. They have like, a bajillion different gins behind the bar, and the food is plenty. Them chicken wings are top tier.Seems to be popular amongst dog owners. No idea why, there's nothing indicating it's ideal for dogs 🤔 I guess people who own dogs happen to like incredible food and amazing service 🤷‍♂️Weird. I should go back and investigate.

Went for tapas, nice selection of food and drinks. Really charming place

Highly recommend The LoftVery generous portionsGreat valueLarge Cocktail menuLovely StaffThankyou for a wonderful evening

Sometimes one is fortunate enough to stumble upon a hidden gem. That is the case for me in Sidmouth when I found The Loft.I could not get an evening booking so decided to have lunch with a friend instead.Welcoming, great service with staff who are both pleasant and helpful. The seafood platter to share followed by a classic steak burger was my choice. The fresh ingredients, care in preparation and simple practical presentation shouts for the quality of the food here.Now The Loft is permanently on my Devon dining list.Elevated dining room on the first floor gives some detachment from the bustling street scene. The prices are fair, space is abundant and the ambience is relaxed and informal.......I would classify this as the "smart casual" of dining really.It's a small venue with limited covers, so book ahead. I hope other venues in the West Country take some time to emulate how The Loft looks after its customers too..... it's how things should be done. Keep up the great work.

First time visit to the Loft. Absolutely brilliant. Great menu, fantastic food all prepared from scratch and reasonably priced. As restaurants go this is a hidden gem. Loved the decor and the staff did a great job. Will definitely return.

Eating here right now. Food is fabulous. Best burger I've had in a long time, my wifes seafood platter is huge! And tasty. Staff great too

The Loft is now my number one restaurant in Sidmouth. I have a wheat intolerance and struggle to find something to eat on most menus. The Loft has made dining out a pleasure again. The choices on the menu are superb, well prepared and generous portions too! All produce is sourced from local suppliers which means everything is so fresh. Give The Loft a try, you will not be disappointed.

Home made steak burger was amazing like properly good, not bad prices considering the local competition. Entire party of 6 agreed meals where exceplent.

Great restaurant above the shops in the centre of town. Style is somewhat bohemian with local art on display. Good variety of homemade foods and local fish specialties. Service is friendly. Closes at 9pm

Yum absolutely fabulous loft breakfasts, the full and not so full. The best toast and butter outside home . A really must to visit. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+++++ staff so helpful and friendly 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+++++
