A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A table beside the river
A riverside bistro on The Plains with a broad outdoor terrace, colourful food and inviting rooms for a leisurely Totnes lunch or an evening catch-up.
Waterside Bistro makes the river part of a day in Totnes. Outside, tables follow the water beneath leafy trees; indoors, blue upholstery and a well-stocked bar give lunch a different kind of comfort. It is an easy place to build a pause into a town wander, whether for something to eat or a drink with a view.
The lovely little details
- Terrace beside the Dart.
- Indoor tables can be booked.
