cafe-ODE at Ness Cove

We believe great food should not cost the earth.. litarally.

Located at Ness Cove in Shaldon on the edge of the South West Coastal path, outside and inside seating areas have spectaculal views across Lyme Bay towards Teignmouth. Next to Shaldon Zoo, the approach gold course and the famous smugglers tunnel which takes you down to the the award winning blue flag beach “Ness Cove”

Our multi award winning cafe ODE concept combines a casual dining experience with a strong sustainable ethos, ensuring every meal respects nature but also remains accessible and affordable to all….

Food is cooked fresh to order from the open kitchen & operates for breakfast, lunch and occasional suppers. Wood fired hand stretched sourdough pizza on the terrace in the warmer Summer months are always popular. For a more formal pop us dining expect char grilled lobsters, fresh fish from Brixham, Cornish rope grown mussels as well as local wild venison and wagyu beef…

The daily changing electronic menu allows customers to view the menu in real time and also pre order in advance to avoid any delays at busy periods…. no queing & means customers are served within 10 minutes of ordering….
