If you are looking for a casual yet stylish place to eat in Plymouth, your first port of call might be the city centre, but don't neglect the suburbs. Take Elburton, for example, just off the A379 to Kingsbridge Road. Tucked away here is The Lemon Tree café just off of Springfield Road. A popular and welcoming Continental Cafe' by day and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights it is transformed into a vibrant bistro. The dishes created by Chef Paul Eynon are prepared with flare and passion, which is why the restaurant has become popular among regulars, and has also been listed in Which? Good Food Guides 2010 and 2011.

Expect to find wild pigeon, beef burgonion, poached salmon, rare breed pork sausage and mash and chicken Caesar salad on the daily specials board. The menu also features summer mezze from the Mediterranean and winter mezze, which includes dishes from Russia and Sweden. The desserts are also a treat not to be missed.
