Best Lunch Restaurants in Budleigh Salterton

Booked a table on OpenTable for 4.30 for my wife's birthday. Booked an early time because it was given as an option by OpenTable and the weather forecast was for snow. We arrived at 4.15 and found that the restaurant was not supposed to open for service until 5pm. Bobby the barman and Josh the chef made us very welcome and opened early for us. We enjoyed a lovely meal, complete with candles to celebrate the occasion! Thank you Bobby & Josh. Great customer service by both of you!

We are frequent visitors to the Marine for the last two years. It's just a brilliant place. Fantastic food and service. Recommended anytime!

My niece and her family were visiting so we took them there. They loved it- good food amd great ambience. Food was nice overall with an excellent steak and ice cream but the burgers were underwhelming. My niece ordered ravioli which she liked. Puddings were good with the stout cake being excellent. Would recommend - try and go for the steak.

We were a family group of six. It was a nice Xmas feeling with the people around us. The food was just ok, some of the group enjoyed all the courses but majority thought it was very average for the money we paid. Service was very good, servers were cheerful and obliging. We did enjoy ourselves and there was plenty to eat. Was it value for money ? Not sure but you have to pay a lot extra when people work on Xmas day.

Visited the Balfour on Sunday with my wife and with my sister. We each opted for a starter, Sunday roast and a pudding and all three courses were absolutely outstanding. Never been here before but absolutely will come back again. Best roast I have had for years. Decent price, and really good, friendly atmosphere.
