Le Vin Perdu

Came here for lunch for my birthday and could not fault a single thing. Food was delicious. We had pork rillettes and some bread to start. The sourdough was from the Briar bakery a few doors down and it was the perfect combination for the rillettes and giant pot of cornichons. We shared the half chicken, potaotes and gem lettuce and could not believe how tasty the potaotes were. The chicken was perfectly cook and the garlic and herb butter was the perfrct accompaniment. To finish everything off, we had the vanilla bavarois with blackcurrant and hazelnuts. The perfect ending to our meal. The staff are lovely, friendly and are more than happy to suggest alternatives for dietry restrictions as we overheard from another table with a dairy and gluten intolerance. Will definitely be back

We enjoyed a lovely meal whilst I was down visiting my daughter. The restaurant is in a very old building with so much character, but as someone else mentioned. The accoustics were terrible. It was very loud due to all the hard surfaces. That said, the quality of the food was excellent and very well priced. We were both surprised and delighted at the cost. I thought for the quality of food and presentation that it would have cost much more. The staff were extremely helpful and guided us through the menu. I had the fish. A great choice. This was an excellent dining experience. (All except for the accoustics). Highly recommended.

Great French style bistro in the high street. Varied menu, with daily specials and extensive wine list. Attentive friendly staff and the food was amazing. Definitely coming back for the rotisserie chicken next time. Thank you.

10/10 faultless. Absolutely loved it here - exact kind of gem Devon needs. The interiors, service, food and drinks were all incredible.

Le Vin Perdu is an absolute gem, we had lunch there and had a fantastic dining experience that combined exceptional food with impeccable service. Every dish is beautifully crafted, with flavors that are both simple, yet bold and refined, mussels.. ox cheeks… Ray wing - DELICIOUS. The staff are attentive, warm, and clearly passionate about ensuring a memorable experience, adding to the charm of the restaurant. I would highly recommend Le Vin Perdu for anyone looking to enjoy an outstanding meal in a welcoming setting.

Absolutely cracking food. The goat curd salad + bread for starters set the tone. The had made an effort with every ingredient… the bread I could have kidnapped and eaten all year. Lamb and black bream for mains, both very good. Pinot noir reminded me of an old favourite that I can’t find any longer Grolleau. Skipped desert, but the looked good.

Great Cocktails, great service and atmosphere BUT sadly the food was very disappointing! Lazy menu ( especially for vegetarians) and was also very mediocre at best for those eating from the meat menu. Walked away feeling very dissatisfied.

The main course (fish) was delicious! Acoustics in the restaurant are dreadful and it is very noisy in the middle of the room. I felt that charging £4 for bread on top of £7 for a starter was gouging. My partner is gluten free and although staff were helpful there was no effort to offer any alternative to bread so starter was disappointing Close, but not the best
