Located in High Street, Totnes, is La Fourchette - a café cum brasserie that's passionate about offering full-flavoured authentic continental food and a great selection of drinks to go with it, in a lively, no-fuss atmosphere. Drawing from the most authentic café and brasserie experiences from around, La Fourchette seeks to offer the best of two worlds to its guests with cakes, pastries and light bites throughout the day and full menus for lunch and dinner.

The décor and food are continental with thick French accents. Begin with the chef's orange and brandy duck paté, followed by the prime local rib-eye steak. Have a dauphinoise potato for sides and conclude with a real vanilla crème brulée and the recommended glass of coteaux du layon with dessert. The drinks list is extensive and well thought out, leaving the guests spoilt for choice. The proprietors of La Fourchette deserve a special mention for importing bracing beer flavours from Belgium, Germany and the Czech Republic. Ideal for any occasion including solitary lunches - just grab a seat by the window and do some people watching with honest French-inspired cuisine.
