We loved this restaurant. Firstly, I appreciated the value of their jasmine green tea, it was in a nice sized teapot and was loose leaf with a strainer. Second, our dinner was fantastic, literally delicious - we haven’t eaten food like that in a long time and both work/study in food sectors. I also recommend the Rosé! Our starters were just as good as the mains, the mushrooms were gorgeous and there were nice colourful salad leaves too. It is a very cosy and modest place where you can sit comfortably for a couple of hours. We also got takeaway sandwiches which we had on the beach, which were delicious and fresh, but note that though the box is secure, the filling is outside the flatbread/pitta. We believed the bread also tasted homemade :) one last thing is the Baklava, I had a feeling it would be good, but it exceeded expectations! I highly recommend. I wish we bought more things to take away… their cookies looked fantastic. Overall, I highly recommend and just wish I lived nearby so that I could try more things on the menu.

This was honestly the best meal I have had in a really long time. Just so incredible. We had the mushroom gnocchi and the cauliflower dishes. And I was so impressed. Can't fault it

Oh... And the vegan biscoff cake.. just wow

It was a little quiet, but the food and service more than made up for it! Excellent local seafood, very well presented and you could tell there was a lot of care and attention that had gone into creating the dishes.

I give 5* on all counts. The food was outstanding, worthy of any top London restaurant. It was delicate with flavour and superbly good. In terms of venue, this is basically a cafe, with pay up front. The young lady who served us was charming. Also to note in the cafe cum restaurant all clean and immaculate. BTW mediterranean food here, very well done.

It was our first visit to Lynton and we also ventured down the path to Lynmouth. The weather was very indecisive with spells of blustery showers. We made it back up to Lynton via the funicular railway and needed somewhere to eat. There were plenty of options but really glad we chose The Vanilla Pod. We plumped for the 6 sharing dishes for £50 and the food didn't disappoint. The kidneys on skewers were delicious and so was everything that we tried. Plenty of other options on the menu and the 'daily specials' board.
