Cary Arms Restaurant

You're sitting right on Babbacombe Beach, watching the water lap at the shore whilst you eat—that's the whole point of the Cary Arms. It's not trying to be clever about it either; this is straightforward seaside dining done properly. The setting demands your attention: floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound of waves, that particular quality of light you only get on the Devon coast. The kitchen clearly respects what they're working with, turning out the sort of food that feels both local and properly considered, without ever getting precious about it.
