West Country Restaurants

Agaric

A passion and lifestyle for Nick Coiley, formerly Head Chef at The Carved Angel in Dartmouth, for many years one of Britain's top restaurants. The simple concept is based on brief but ever changing menus employing local ingredients which are patently fresh.

Alasia Restaurant, The

The Alasia, a family run restaurant tucked away in Weston's theatre district of Grove Village is a perfect stopover for pre-theatre dining. The décor is unfussy and tasteful - wenge floors, spotless white tables, local artwork and soft pastel shades alternating with crimson hues - all highlighted with soothing ceiling lights.

• Cuisine(s): Modern European, Gourmet
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £16.00, Dinner: £26.00

Alba Restaurant

House in the former Lifeboat House, the restaurant takes its name appropriately enough from the SS Alba which went down off St Ives in 1938, and whose boiler may still be seen at low tide. Two local lifeboatmen were lost in the rescue, a grim foretaste of what was to happen the following year when the Coxswain and six crew members were lost in another incident at sea.

Alfresco Restaurant, The

Alvorada Restaurant
