The Top 16 Restaurants Near Restaurant Roku
-
Rank 1. Restaurant Roku
Modern Japanese
The name means "six" in Japanese, the address is number six, and the tasting menu runs six courses that change every six weeks. Restaurant Roku is a small modern Japanese dinner spot in Croyde, where the chef weaves Japanese flavors through a European framework, think tuna crudo with togarashi or shiso turning up in the pre-dessert. A three-course à la carte exists, but the tasting menu is clearly where the kitchen's attention lives.

Rank 2. The Antidote
Modern British
-
Rank 3. Seacliff
Modern British
A hotel dining room perched above the Devon coast, Seacliff earns its keep with a terrace that looks straight out over the bay. The kitchen leans hard on local seafood, turning quality seasonal catch into colorful, composed Modern British plates. Service is the warm, unhurried kind you hope for in a place this size. A tasting menu with wine pairings is there if the occasion calls for it.
-
Rank 4. The Farmers Arms
Modern British
A restored Grade II-listed pub in a tucked-away Devon village, with open fires, exposed beams, and just enough contemporary polish to keep it from feeling like a museum piece. The kitchen runs on produce from the team's own farm, hogget included, and the menus shift with the seasons. There's a tasting menu if you want the full arc, or Sunday roast if you don't. Stylish rooms are scattered around the village for those who misjudge the wine.
-
Rank 5. Exmoor Forest Inn
British
A Victorian inn sitting at the heart of its own working farm, which means the kitchen doesn't have far to look for ingredients. Expect the kind of pub food that earns its place: day-boat fish, a daily pie, proper Sunday roasts, and steaks from animals that were practically neighbours. The fire-lit lounge and eleven bedrooms make it a sensible base for walking Exmoor without having to think too hard about where to eat afterwards.
-
A converted coal store on Oxwich Beach, with the Gower Peninsula right outside the window, sets the scene for this Michelin-starred restaurant. The chef, born in north Wales, writes menus in both English and Welsh and leans hard on Welsh producers, so the cooking has a sense of place that most coastal spots can only gesture at. Dishes are classical and composed without being fussy, flavours balanced so the main ingredient does the talking.
-
Rank 7. Gidleigh Park
Modern New American
The winding lane through the Devon moors ends at a grand Edwardian mansion, and the dining room inside holds a Michelin star. This is country house cooking in the full sense: white tablecloths, produce foraged or grown on the grounds, and classically structured dishes that treat the ingredients as the point. Comfortable, unhurried, and unapologetically formal, it's the kind of place that makes driving down a very narrow road feel like a reasonable life decision.

Rank 8. The Dartmoor Inn
British
-
Rank 9. Slice
Modern British
A small Modern British restaurant tucked into a Swansea suburb, run by two chef-owners who apparently greet you themselves, which sets the tone for what follows. The menu shifts with the seasons and leans toward seafood, with an à la carte or a tasting menu if you want the longer ride. Wine pairings are priced to encourage saying yes. The Michelin Guide includes it among its selected restaurants.
-
Rank 10. The Shed
Traditional British
-
A working farm in Cornwall where the kitchen cures, pickles, and grills over a central wood fire using animals raised on the same 66 acres outside the window. The dining room leans into it: animal skins on the chairs, antique cutlery, handmade pottery. The sourdough alone justifies the drive out here. A young team runs the floor without fuss, and there are rooms if you'd rather not navigate country lanes in the dark.

The ale bread arrives with whipped marmite butter, and after that the tone is pretty much set: unfussy, confident Welsh cooking inside Tenby Golf Club's spacious clubhouse restaurant. The chef leans hard on local produce without making a fuss about it, and the beach next door gives you a solid excuse to linger. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected restaurants.

A coaching inn that's been around forever, with a glass-covered courtyard that makes a sunny afternoon feel like a good idea. Inside, the dining room runs modern and unfussy, with a seasonal à la carte and tasting menu that lean into colourful, well-composed plates. The attached deli and wet fish shop give you something to carry home, which softens the blow of leaving considerably.
