The Arlington Restaurant
“Generous, traditional dishes and attentive service” - AA Inspector
BARNSTAPLE, DEVON
Our Inspector's view
Set in the Edwardian grandeur of the riverside Imperial Hotel, this elegant old-school restaurant offers plenty of period character with its chandeliers, paintings and fancy plasterwork. It’s a fitting setting for gently modern, classically-based cooking that achieves satisfying results thanks to skilful technique and quality ingredients rather than outlandish ideas.

About the area
Discover Devon
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
