Comprised of both a fantastic selection of food and wine accompanied with a nice friendly service and relaxing atmosphere. This restaurant is without a shadow of doubt the best place to eat in Ilfracombe if not Devon. I had took my family to Seventy One when holidaying in Ilfracombe and do not regret it for a moment. The restaurant had made such an impression on our first night that we ensured that we ate there on more than one occasion in our short one week stay. I would confidently recommend to all.

The best meal of our holiday! A great find, wonderful food beautifully presented by the very friendly owners... and in a nice comfortable and smart setting. Oh, and great value too. We'll be back. PS Stayed at the Elmfield Hotel. That was great too. Keith & Rita Clayton

This is the ultimate place to eat in Ilfracombe. It cannot be surpassed. The food is certainly the best in the town and it might also be fair to say this rates with the very best in the south west. Full marks for superb food, beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely decor and atmosphere along with friendly, helpful and efficient service from all the staff. We experienced an evening of great enjoyment and won't hesitate to dine here again. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you to all at Seventy One!Heather Harwood

I have been to this restaurant about 6 times now the first being on our honeymoon in 2003 and the food was to die for. The owners Peter and Jane make you very welcome and there is a lovely atmosphere. We now go to Ilfracombe just to eat at Seventy One and have been known to travel from Bridgwater for just one night's stay whatever the weather to have a meal at the best restaurant we know.Julie Young

We dined in Seventy 1 on our first night of the holiday. The greeting was warm, the menu and drinks came immediately, the food was really excellent. There are only 26 - 30 covers in this bijou restaurant and attention to service, detail and quality means everything to this husband-and-wife team. We enjoyed the food, the wine and the ambiance so much we made a return visit to taste more from the excellent menu. We were not disappointed. We shall be back.Polly Morrow

A real gem. Fish as beautifully cooked, presented and tasty as I've encountered anywhere south of Caithness. Very pleasant, friendly, family-run establishment; intimate but quietly stylish. Middling prices, but more than justified by quality of food. Should be in Hardens if it's not there already.Donald Munro

Beautifully cooked, quality produce. Everything we had was delicious. Amazing and perfect pavlova. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommended.Lorraine Littlewood

The restuarant 71 is one of the finest places I have eaten in Devon. The restuarant is family owned and the chef seems to have a lot of cooking experience. The food is always mouth-wateringly perfect and is a actually as nice as it sounds on the menu. The restuarnt itself is quite small but decorated very nicely. I would not stay near Ilfracombe without giving this restuarant a go. A bit more expensive than your average high street restaurant but i'd pay twice as much for the food they offer!Malika Belhajjam

Seventy One is a lovely restaurant that has a warm atmosphere and excellent service.I have a food allegy and they always able to accomodate me as everything is freshly prepared. They have a wide menu and different specials each time we visit. I would definately recommend to all.susan lindsey
