We ate here on Tuesday of this week whilst on holiday in Babbacombe. The only negative (other than the restaurant is on a busy main road which does not matter once you are inside) was that we were the only people eating there in the early part of the evening which was a great shame as the food and service...

We went out for a meal on the Thursday after New Year and visited Peppercorns in Babbacombe. The food was excellent along with the service. I had the mussels starter and the venison for main course both of which I would highly recommend. Ken and Becky introduced themselves as the owners and were more than willing to chat with us....

Put simply the food is stunning!! A few of the negative reviews on here comment on; a mat in the doorway, it's opposite a laundrette, the cork mats were worn,the cutlery wasn't great etc. When you read these you know that these people go out of their way to be negative on anything!! If you want to taste sumptious food... More

Having been several times when trading as La Provence, we were hoping that the newly launced "Peppercorns" would not have changed too much. There have been changes - all for the better. Fresh decor,new table linen and a superb, exciting menu which showcases the very best of local Devon produce.We visited on a very cold, gloomy wednesday night and were... More

This was our 5th visit to La Provence and we can honestly say that the food gets better and better. The service is efficient and discreet and very friendly. Cannot be beaten for value for money. Highly recommend.

have just has another very nice experience at La Provence, i find myself quite upset at some of the nonsense reviews this restaurant has attracted, there are three extremely negative reviews amongst otherwise almost universal praise, they are so ridiculously bad that i really find myself questioning the integrity of the reviewers, and wondering whether indeed there are hidden agendas...

Having lived in Babbacombe for years we have been visiting this excellent little restaurant for a long time. We have celebrated many birthdays and anniverseries there. Becky and Ken make you feel very welcome and the food is second to none. We have moved away from Torquay now but still make the journey back to enjoy the company and cuisine.... More

The restaurant feels very French as soon as you walk in. The service is very good and the food is excellent. I ordered a medium rare steak which came out medium-to-well done but it was so tasty that I did not want it changed, although I did bring it to the waitress’s attention. I would definitely go again.

short review... I didn't go to eat the carpet, to see the view (launderette), for the table mats or cutlery - I went for the food and was soooo pleased I did - the food is just plain excellent. You will NOT be disappointed - I absolutely promise you...., Just go there !!! Please don't let ANY preconceptions sway you... More
