Eating and Drinking in Plymouth, Devon*

Plymouth, Devon Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• Ride (next to Cuba)- opened end of 2000 I think - does really nice/cheap paninis and ciabattas and is actually a great place to drink if you can deal with all that 'London Grey' that they've painted it with. Don't get too pissed after your last exam as the stools are about as easy to sit on as those big spring mounted animal heads you get in children's playgrounds.
• The waterfront has changed hands twice in 3 years ,so will be diffrent than when he/she worked there .
• Jakes! Near the student halls. A Great place for hangover and drunken food!
• Everyone should try one of 'Jakes' Bacon and cheese melt because they are amazing
• Lorenzo's does the most amazing Nachos and it is a nice atmosphere. Service not always with a smile but Edmund does pop in now and again. Also try the Pasta Bar on the Barbican but don't have a starter with your main meal cos you'll never eat it. Good value for money, strange candles.
• Cuba ! - cheap extremely good food and nice place too ( if you dont mind students !)
• LOTS OF PASTYS

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
