Anchor Inn, The

Plenty of homemade cooking at this 450 year old smuggler's haunt, as well as superb seafood straight from its source. The list of Awards assembled over the years is just about as long as the menu and that, believe me, is saying something.

ASK - Exeter

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking. Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken.

Cafe Paradiso at Alias Hotel Barcelona

A splendidly funky place, part of a larger complex and built with a big-top design in mind. Combine this with a mass of weird and wonderful objets d'art, fill it with lots of cheerful people enjoying a blend of café and brasserie style food and you have a compelling recipe for enjoyment and good vibes.

Cafe Rouge - Exeter

Café Rouge has around one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London. Almost inevitably the décor and design of each restaurant differs from the others, but there is a general curtsy towards La France.
