About
Perched on a beautiful cliff top overlooking the sea, Gara Rock stands as one of the most opulent
hotels in East Portlemouth, near Salcombe. Surrounded by the undeniably gorgeous scenic
countryside and the shimmering South Devon coast, this luxurious retreat offers all the amenities
required for an indulgent foodie stop or hotel getaway, whether with loved ones, family, or close
friends.
Although you need to make a reservation before dining at Gara Rock, you can enjoy a robust
breakfast, unwind during a leisurely lunch, and delight in a seasonal supper while watching the sun
set behind the cliffs. The restaurant welcomes guests throughout the year, but isn’t the only place that
you can enjoy something to eat and drink at this beautiful Salcombe hotel. This exquisite dining
destination has an enticing a la carte menu. Begin your gastronomic journey with starters like roast
Crown Prince squash soup adorned with coconut yoghurt and seeds, or indulge in coal-fired heritage
beetroot accompanied by ajo blanco, burnt spring onion, buckwheat, and chilli. For the main course,
relish the decadence of a champagne chicken and bacon pie with creamed mash, chicken gravy, and
Gara HP sauce. Alternatively, enjoy the artfully crafted courgette hasselback with tahini, guajillo chilli,
red onion marmalade, and soft herbs.
In the bar and lounge, indulge in a delectable lounge menu to conclude your meal or as a standalone
evening treat. Gather for pre-dinner drinks, or perhaps enjoy a soothing nightcap before bidding
farewell to a delightful evening. Enjoy the cosy atmosphere and comfy armchairs here, drink in hand,
and a bowl full of delicious nibbles.
If you visit Gara Rock in the sunshine, or are passing by on a lovely coastal walk, visit the Garavan.
It's open from 11am until 3pm on weekends, and it serves up a great selection of drinks and snacks
that make it the perfect midday pitstop.
