Charming rustic venue, cool staff great food, it's a must when visiting Dartmouth. The big Alfs breakfast is one not to be missed!!

Very friendly and lively atmosphere, even early in the morning as it opens at 7am. On top of which breakfast and lunches are fantastic.

Dont book this place for a special occasion like someones birthday. I booked a table for 10 people for my husbands birthday and the other family had to cancel. I called the restaurant at 7.30am to inform them that there would only be five of us now and they cancelled the reservation, saying they would only reserve for parties of... More

My dad raves about 'Alfs' to everyone especially the butter toast before the breakfast! So we tested it out for his 50th birthday breakfast!!

Great food, great atmosphere (shabby chic), third visit planned tomorrow to end our holiday on a high. If you looking for high end fine dining it will not be for you. If you want great food, family friendly & fun, then do not miss this place....brilliant

From the minute we walked in the staff were amazing and asked our names which gave it a real personal touch! The breakfasts were... More

We love this cafe, it's packed with atmosphere (and customers). It's got a unique ambience and this, together with the quality of the food and drink, mean there's often a queue to get in. But you really should make the effort as it really is worth it. Incidentally if people think this cafe is too expensive then perhaps they should... More

Alf's is unique, so comparing it to other places isn't helpful, it's simply Alf's. If I could visit every day I would, not simply for the food, which is delicious, the coffee, which is great, or the service, which is fun, fast and sometimes a bit frantic, I'd go simply for the joy of feeling part of the buzz. Don't... More

We regularly drive from Torquay to Kingswear, get the ferry across to Dartmouth and head for Alf Rescos for breakfast. Can be very busy, I'd suggest you you can book if theres more than 4 of you. The cooked breakfasts are easily the best I've had in a cafe, you also get fantastic toast (pick up any jams/marmalades/marmite etc when... More
