The Seahorse
In a prime riverside location, this seafood restaurant epitomizes the region's ongoing food revolution. The knowledgeable staff guides you through the Italian-inspired menu, which primarily depends on the day's catch and might feature Dartmouth lobster salad, tagliatelle with spider crab and datterini tomatoes, or cod loin al cartoccio. Leave room for the delicious desserts, too, such as apricot sorbet. Three-course prix-fixe menus are a good deal at lunchtime (£30), and Joe's Bar, attached to the restaurant, offers a good range of wines, locally distilled gin, and cocktails. The owner, celebrity-chef Mitch Tonks, also runs a much more basic fish-and-chips restaurant a few doors along called Rockfish, open daily.
