    A charmingly refined place to eat. You could be in a top London restaurant. I've wanted to eat at…read morethe New Angel for a long time and I was not disappointed. We had dinner (make sure you book) but they do lunch as well. The French maître d' made sure he made everyone feel welcome and had clearly spent time in high profile restaurants - a nice touch. Food was classic French. You could tell the chef has spent a lot of time selecting his produce, every mouthful of every course was tasty and cooked to the highest standard. My Main course of pan fried foie gras sitting on lamb was exquisite with just the right delicate flavours going on. I would have to say that the foie gras tasted better than I've had in France! Wine selection was very extensive - we had the house Red - perfect. For desert i had Crème brûlée which was as it should be, chilled in the middle with the sugar cripsy on top and not burnt. I have not had better anywhere else. If you are holidaying down in the southwest and you like really good food - this is a gem of a place to stop. Oh and by the way they have a Michelin star so a la carte can be expensive.

    I have been to the New Angel three or four times and to the Carved Angel which was here before many…read moretimes. It's a lovely spot right by the Dart Estuary in picturesque Dartmouth. The kitchen is visible from the dining room which has the feeling of a large chef's table as a result. John Burton-Race was cooking when we went there for lunch this week. Whereas most Michelin-starred chefs seem to spend more time on television than in the kitchen, it's really good to see him actually doing the business instead of talking about it. The food was excellent - good ingredients, well cooked. I had a crab tortellini and my wife had chicken liver pate to start and we both had turbot for the main course. For pudding I had a souffle and my wife had a parfait. With two glasses of champagne, some water and a tip, the total came to just over £120. Which sort of serves us right for ordering off the a la carte menu. We should have stuck with the better value prix fixe lunch menu. Last time I was here for lunch, it was pretty busy but this week there were only three tables occupied. I suspect that in season (not in April), for dinner and on weekends bookings are necessary. So, good food, good location and a reasonable price if you don't leave the prix fixe menu. So what's not to like. Frankly, it's the service. The whole thing was very professional but utterly charmless, cold, distant and verging on the rude. For example, when we arrived the maitre d' actually stood in the inner doorway blocking our entrance until we had, awkwardly, explained that we were coming for lunch and had reservations. It just didn't feel very hospitable and the only time the froideur lightened was when we were paying up. The food and location deserve five stars. But for the money and to live up to its reputation, The New Angel really needs to relax a bit and welcome its guests with more than ruthless efficiency and a grimace.

Dartmouth is a lovely village and it was my first night when we went to Anzac Street Bistro for dinner for an evening reservation. As soon as we arrived there was a sign on the door saying that their reservations were full, so no other guests who had planned ahead would be able to dine there. It's a small location that doubles as a guest house for Dartmouth tourists. As soon as you arrive, we were greeted with a really nice ambiance and atmosphere. The lighting was low and though the small restaurant was full, we were able to hear everyone in our group. Since we came in a larger group, we were able to sample a lot of what the evening menu had to offer that night. First off, one of the starters ordered was the foie gras, and though it was tasty, it came with a side of a few slices of toast to eat it with. After eating through the starter, we came to find out that one of the slices of toast was actually burnt black! It was turned over to conceal how badly burned it was, but we were all really surprised that it had actually been served. Their menu seems to change on a regular basis, but on this evening two of the guests in our party ordered the Duck Confit, which looked promising upon arrival, but one of the main lines in the menu description stated that it was a crisp duck leg, and both orders weren't crispy at all. I had ordered a mozzarella and tomato type dish that was listed along with the other main courses and was priced similarly as well (around £14), but when it was presented on the table next to the other main courses I had wondered where the rest of it was. It was nearly half the size of the other main courses and wasn't really impressive as far as taste or presentation. I felt that it should have been put with the other starters on the menu and at least reduced to half it's price. Service overall seemed satisfactory, and reservations are highly recommended. Again, this was my first visit here, and nothing went terribly wrong with our night, but I just expected more from an establishment like this and I'm hoping that this visit was just a fluke.
