Breakfast with a view
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day “breakfast like a king…” or so they say, so we set off this morning to one of South Devons finest (and most southerly) breakfast spots!
Cafe ODE at Gara Rock is approximately a 15 minute drive from Beeson Farm and the perfect place to start a day out in South Devon. Perched on the cliffs between Prawle Point and Mill Bay (nr Salcombe) it offers sweeping views across the cliffs, over the beaches and out into the Atlantic
Leave your walking boots by the door and grab a table by the panoramic window or out on the terrace.
The relaxed atmosphere (think background jazz music, open kitchen and friendly staff) sets the mood for a chilled out Devon day. Offering locally and regionally sourced produce they serve “family friendly food which doesnt cost the Earth”- their sustainable credentials even extend to food being served in a cardboard box and with biodegradable cutlery- all part of the experience!
We opted for the porridge and breakfast baps, which were both delicious and very filling. Perfect for filling up before a day walking the South West Coastpath which runs outside (though I have to say we werent that virtuous!) or heading down the cliffs for a day on the sandy beach.
They have a great selection of books and colouring pens for children and well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Booking is advisable in peak season. We would also recommend Cafe Ode as a lunch or dinner venue! Summer opening times are 9:15am-8pm
