About The Loft
The Loft is a British restaurant at 5 Old Fore St in Sidmouth, with a menu of 35 dishes. A dedicated vegan section includes a vegan dish and a vegan and gluten free lemon tarte, so dessert is covered for plant-based diners. The menu also lists Thai Fish Cakes, Shakshuka and Teriyaki Tofu Kebab. Pasta dishes run alongside gnocchi, with a vegan gnocchi and one served with cider sauce, and the seafood includes mussels, scallops and prawns in the pasta. On busy evenings a single host handles the tables and chats with guests, and the chef also talks with diners.

“WOW, without a doubt THE best place for dinner in sidmouth… came on what turned out to be a very busy monday evening for the host on his own. despite having many tables to look after the host seb would not compromise on service, giving us one of the most welcoming and friendly experiences we have ever had eating out. as for the food, word cannot describe the range of flavour’s that we got to experience all in one meal. will definitely be back.”

“here in sidmouth for a holiday with friends and went to the loft for dinner. the food was so lovely, tried both a regular menu item and some of my friends vegan dish and both were splendid!! service was so good and got to have a lovely chat with the staff as well as the chef, definitely recommend to anyone who is in sidmouth or local and hasn’t tried. thank you guys!!”

“Had a lovely time with family who came visiting. Food was really good and high quality, definitely a stand out from the other food places in the area. My only gripe was that prawns were king prawns. I would have preferred fresh prawns/shrimp from trawlers down by the beach. Prawns with heads on etc. But other than that the pasta was the best ive ever had in Devon. We would definitely return! :)”
- Alex Yeung
“A very very pleasant meal, fresh local mussels and scallops were delicious and beautifully cooked. Possibly upstaged by some excellent gnocchi with cider sauce. Team friendly enough, kudos ! Highly recommended! ( I may say the listing of The Loft as a British restaurant might be a little misleading!)”

Customer Review Summary
Gnocchi is the dish most often singled out, a cider sauce version in one review and a vegan one in another. Fresh local mussels and scallops are described as delicious, and the vegan section and a vegan gluten free lemon tarte draw praise. One reviewer would have preferred fresh prawns over king prawns. The host stays friendly even when working alone on a busy evening.
