Food Scene
In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Plymouth. They have a fixed price menu for set times too do it doesn't need to be an expensive night. From our house you walk to the Mount Batten Ferry and the Barbican Kitchen is a short walk away from the other side.

Great for an easy family walk on Dartmoor. You can walk on the road around the reservoir but the trails are far better. In the summer normal shoes will suffice.
