"Arrive early for a stroll around the harbour before dinner at this sweet, glass-fronted shop conversion where brown paper covered tables contribute to a cool, modish feel. It’s run by a friendly couple with a passion for local produce, so the thoughtfully prepared set menu changes regularly. Well-judged dishes are modern in their make-up and packed with flavour. Bedrooms are contemporary and one even has a small terrace." - Michelin Inspector

We had the most amazing evening at Antidote last night. The food was 10/10, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely. We could not find a fault and can’t wait to return! Thank you for such a memorable evening. By far the best meal out we’ve had in years!

Wow! I am so pleased that I managed to get a table for our last night in Ilfracombe. Even from booking the table the communication I had from Sarah was amazing and I knew we would be in for a treat. |The venue itself is intimate with only 6 tables, the service is impeccable and genuine. We really felt looked after. |Now the food... Wow wow wow. I cannot fault this, the food was amazing, I didn't want each course to end. I am just very sad we don't live closer as this would definitely be somewhere we would be regulars at. |Make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment. |

If you love fine dining and are in Ilfracombe this is a must visit. The Antidote is a very small restaurant owned by people who clearly love what they do. There's only 6 tables so booking is essential if you don't want to miss out (and believe me, you don't!). We had soup for starters which was delicious. I didn't take a photo as it was so delicious we just dived straight in! For mains i had the guinea fowl and my partner has the hake. Both were beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. For pudding we both had the pistachio and rose pudding. This was so light and beautifully balanced. The service was also fantastic, you weren't hurried at all and our hostess took the time to speak with us. All in all, we will be back for sure and would recommend to anyone who loves fine food. The value for money is just amazing too. A must visit!

We had the most delicious meal here. Innovative but not pretentious. The menu is small and seems to regularly change which is a definite plus point. It was absolutely delicious and so lovely to have something a bit different. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Really lovely restaurant that we used to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. Really well priced at £39.90 per person plus gratuity of 10%. Food was exceptional as was the service. Nothing felt rushed, but food came in a timely manner. Waitress was really helpful. I can see why it’s a Michelin recommended restaurant. The only slight downside is that the size of the meals is small. We enjoyed them thoroughly but I was hungry afterwards. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends/family.

We reserved a table for two, just as well as this intimate restaurant has just 14 seats. The 3 course menu had delicious options to peruse and all food was superbly cooked and presented. This was a dining experience to relish, it was a wonderful evening meal.
