Best Modern European Restaurants in Portland

Yet again a night of the most scrumptious food, always supported by the most incredible service. We have friends in Exeter, and my wife says this is her favourite restaurant in the UK. Given we have to drive over six hours each way in a day to enjoy I think that is one hell of an accolade. Everything just runs to perfection….when dining at Harry’s you are subjected to such individual service that nothing is ever a bother. Drinks are magically refilled, the service both sincere and yet not intrusive. My death row meal is simple to list. Davidstow soufflé to start, followed by one hell of a tomahawk (at least a kg) finished by the cheese board. Equally spectacular were the prawn cocktails, calamari, arancini and the associated little nibbles. Then we have the oasis of the wine list, something for everyone at varying price points and all excellent. We have been guests of this restaurant for nearly four years and reasonably regular. There has never been any failing at any of our celebrations and that comes from the level of passion and pride in all the front of house team, and above all the amazing chefs. So, even after a six hour journey home we both want to say thank you again for making our evening both memorable and fun.

Truly exceptional and imaginative food. Delightful service. Sunny view of Lyme Bay.

This is the best top quality restaurant in South Devon. In another league to excellent competitors with the quality of food and the wonderful tastes created. First class service, excellent wines and the best tomato juice creation in Britain! And the wine and soft drink prices are very reasonable even compared to pubs. The restaurant itself is roomy and airy and noise levels as a result are very good. Overall the best place to eat for a special occasion!

As always, we had a lovely meal\! The food was delicious, piping hot and beautifully presented\. The staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming\. A perfect spot for a midweek lunch and a catch\-up with friends\. We’ll definitely be back\!

The food and service was very good and we will be going back soon , Terry
