Our Reviews

  Mostly very good but I have some suggestions (not that I expect them to be taken). Firstly the fillet steak is lost with the sauce that accompanies it. To my... read more mind you need a robust flavoured steak (rump?) to withstand the sauce. Crab. Very nice but a very small portion, and needs some texture to go with it. Whilst we had bread to begin with (very good) the dishes themselves could do with some bread to mop up the sauces that are in them. Cheese didn't need the chutney as it drowned the flavour of the cheese. Favourite was the broccoli and also the aubergine ( and that from a committed carnivore). Pork belly was also good as was the sea beam. Two glasses of wine and lemon tart and the bill was £93. Not cheap but that's Devon and Cornwall prices for you these days.

  Andria is a lovely little restaurant with a great ambience. We visited on a Tuesday evening in September (you MUST book ahead) and were seated at the front next to... read more the open windows. We did have to request that they were at least partially closed because at 8pm it had started to turn chilly, but the staff were only too happy to oblige.

The menu consists of small plates similar to tapas. We had 2.5 each which was just the right amount. The food was lovely, although I did find everything quite salty. My favourite was the roasted new potatoes with aioli.

The service was spot on, and the timing of the food (each plate comes out when it's ready so you can pace yourself well and not get too full too soon!).

We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return if we're in Dartmouth again.

  This was by far our favourite restaurant visit during our summer holiday in Dartmouth.

The restaurant does small plates/tapas style dishes and does so exceedingly well; my partner and... read more I ordered some olives and bread to begin (+ a glass of excellent English sparkling wine) with, and then we tried four dishes on their menu + some truffle fries. The dishes came out gradually - so that you felt you were having a sort of tasting menu. Everything was delicious but our favourites were probably the pork belly and courgette flower dishes - oh and those chips were good too. The accompanying bottle of red wine that we had was also very good/value for money. The dessert menu was rather tempting, and the chocolate marquise and lemon tart did not disappoint.

Throughout the servers were very professional and friendly; the first woman server put us at ease immediately and also apologised about the ice machine, which wasn't working at the time. We felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the meal and would definitely go again if we visit Dartmouth in the future!

  From start to finish, this restaurant and all its staff were amazing. The food was out of this world and the service second to none. Do not hesitate to visit!

  From the moment we arrived to when we left we had a most memorable evening. The system of ordering was explained to us and then wonderful dish after dish arrived,... read more one came a little too soon and was kept warm without difficulty. The service was relaxed but prompt.

  We have been fortunate enough to visit this restaurant 3 times now and each time was a taste sensation. Wonderful and unexpected food combinations and the service is second to... read more none. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the music is great, added to by the kitchen staff joining in on occasion. We recommended this restaurant to others who were blown away. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  We have visited this great little restaurant several times and the food is amazing. It is presented well and tastes as good as it looks.

It’s an intimate place,... read more so great for a romantic meal in the evening, but also has the relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to visit time after time. We first went in October 2020 as our first time eating out since the pandemic started, and we were not disappointed. We have enjoyed a couple more meals since.

The service was great and the guys there are very friendly.

  Relaxed atmosphere, passion in the kitchen and attentive front of house. The skill and love in the tasting plates was in full flow, from the smoked butter to accompany thoughtfully... read more crisped bread to the array of colours, visual delights and journeys of the fish and meat dishes that took us on s journey through exciting taste sensations. And it continued right through to dessert, which was incredibly yummy. What a pleasure to find ourselves in such a wonderful place for lunch, brimming with confidence but all wrapped up in such relaxing and welcoming tones full of character. And for a change, the bill felt as light as the delight we carried at a truly delightful lunch.

  Visited on 7th September for evening meal, the service and friendliness of staff was great, the setting brilliant as for the food, I've had some meals and visited many restaurants... read more around the UK but it's no exaggeration that the food at adria was probably the best I've ever tasted, so unique, so tasty and yet quite reasonably priced, credit to the chef, staff and management well done you made our stay in Dartmouth that much more better. Tip, you must book well in advance as you will probably not get a walk in reservation.

  We like lunch and we always prefer an early table. What a treat this restaurant is.

We were welcomed by a delightful friendly and engaged front of house... read more into a lively atmospheric restaurant.

Beautifully decorated to give it a fresh, modern querky edge. Great music. A commanding hello! from the Chef, gave us a hint we were in for a treat.

Delicious olives and sun dried tomatoes bursting with flavour accommpanied by warmed sourdough with the most incredible smoked butter. We were in heaven.

My obsession with potatoes was fulfilled with their truffle chips with sprinklings of cheese a taste sensation.

We ordered a mixture of vegetable fish and meat dishes each a visual and taste delight.

Truly flavoursome heritage tomatoes got our tastebuds on high alert with crunch broccolli for our obligatory greens.

The pork belly was simply beautiful to look at with 3 complementing sauces and water melon to cut through the meat. Sensational.

The beef was ridiculously tasty, cooked to perfection with a cripy crouton that was pure taste heaven.

I loved the kentucky monkfish, so delightful light and crispy. This chef can cook fish.

The desserts were so good my greedy husband polished off 2. The coffee was delicious.

In our opinion we enjoyed a stand out lunch because this restaurant has a kitchen that can really cook and a front of house team who believe in their Chef and want their cutomers to have a wonderful experience.

We feel the prices of each dish is sensational value when presented with this leel of cookery and overal service and dining experience.

10 out of 10 from us.

Bravo!! and Thank you.

Booked for when we are next back to Dartmouth.

  We stayed in accommodation above the restaurant, what a great restaurant. Great good choice of dishes and friendly staff. Really a great place to eat & have a great time

  I honestly can't remember the last time we have eaten in a restaurant of this quality. Granted we have had 20 months of various covid restrictions, but our experience today... read more surpasses award winning, critically aclaimed London restaurants.

The imaginative flavour combinations of the dishes was beyond compare, created by two chefs who are obviously very passionate about what they do, yet humble which suits the non pretentious atmosphere of the restaurant.

Front of house, the service was incredibly polite and well timed with the team being incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. There was no rush, which suits the approach of a small plates restaurant and it was a completely relexing experience.

My advise would be to skip breakfast if you are having lunch. Skip lunch if you are havinv dinner.

  Daniel kindly squeezed 4 of us in at the last minute when my birthday booking at the seahorse was cancelled on the day due to covid . What a fabulous... read more meal we had - we ordered approximately 13 of the dishes and l9ved everyone- especially the ppllock monkfish bream and chantetelle mushrooms -service was excellent and dishes paced exactly as we needed them - presentation was exquisite and all food hot and packed with flavours- we had 3 deserts which were also decadent tasty and beautifully served the lemon tart- pancetta and cheese
The wine was exceptionally well priced for a fabulous Argentinian pinot and NZ sav Blanc
Fab cocktails and fizz to start also - great atmosphere- lovely staff - highly recommend

  We were recommended by friends to go to Andria. Great recommendation! We had 5 small plates between us (and some great olives!).
3 fish, two veggie. All 5 were... read more really excellent.
Prices were also fair.
I would certainly recommend a visit here!

  Lovely restaurant with superbly presented small plates. Informative and attentive staff with a great atmosphere. Definitely recommended - but book before you go!

  Second time I have gone to this tapas restaurant with a twist.
Amazing place with the most imaginative menu I have ever had.
We didn’t have the best table as... read more we were at the back next to the toilets but the food certainly made up for it. My father was upset as we had booked in advance.
The octopus and beef were stand out dishes.

Just remember to ask to be at the front of the restaurant when you book

  The octopus was the star of the meal. The best we have ever had. We had most of the small plates (tapas style) and they we were all delicious but... read more the beef plate and fish in vodka with raw Bloody Mary shone out. The panna cotta desert was also excellent.

  We enjoyed our evening here very much . The restaurant is small, modern and has a lively ‘buzz’ to it. All the dishes we chose were full of flavour and... read more beautifully presented . We loved the Brixham Monkfish , the Crispy Pork Belly, the Lamb Rump , - and the Black Angus Beef was superb. Great deserts too. All the staff looked after us very well. It was our last night in Dartmouth and we were glad we chose this restaurant! Well done to you all , and many thanks !

  But I'll write a review anyway. The food is excellent - a really good range of options which make for amazing small plates to share. The food is absolutely stunning... read more and there is a good drinks menu. Really attentive and friendly staff. Didn't have the option to leave a tip on the card machine but absolutely would have done if I'd had any cash on me!! Sorry guys!! Menu is really reasonably priced when you think about the nature of the dishes and ingredients used - could definitely be a lot more. Absolutely one to visit while you're in Dartmouth.

  Had a lovely evening here, and even our dog was welcome. Cosy and atmospheric. Staff friendly and helpful. Food delicious and beautiful, my favourite was the belly pork with watermelon.... read more The big window was fully open and it was a little chilly but didn’t spoil our evening. It would be fabulous on a warmer day!

  Wow what a find. Another choice from trip advisor reviews and did not disappoint. Really good vibe with music and staff. Informative about how restaurant works and choosing food. Good... read more selection of meat, fish and vegetable dishes and heard them give GF options. Nice pace to food coming out and felt relaxed. You choose small plates of food so you can try lots of different ones. We chose pork belly, pollack, monkfish, beef, broccoli & octopus. All delicious and was definitely in a food coma at end of meal. We were pretty much last to leave but there was no pressure on getting us out. Hopefully coming back in October and would recommend but make sure you book as it was full.

  In Dartmouth for the day & had pre-booked lunch (and recommend that you do, as Andria is very popular).

Was slightly unsure about the 'Small Plates' format, sort of... read more Tapas, but not.

However, we so needn't of worried, the food was just amazing, with every plate exceeding any expectations & so delicious.

Definitely a must do restaurant in Dartmouth.
