The best of Lynmouth restaurants
Here at The Rising Sun we are passionate about local food. We serve the very best in fresh seasonal produce, cooked just how you like it. Our menus have something for everyone, from fish lovers to vegetarians, with an ever-changing selection of specials to reflect the best of the coast and countryside. Perfectly complemented with a great wine list and well-kept real ales and ciders.
With a location so close to the sea, we are in an excellent position to make the most of the local catch. Depending on the season, diners can expect anything from prime lobster to fantastically fresh sea bass and local mussels. Quality is everything for us and the only frozen food you will find in our kitchen is the ice cream!
Non-residents are very welcome to eat at The Rising Sun, but we do recommend booking a table during busy times.

Andrew Giles on TripAdvisorA great spot overlooking the harbour
A lovely hotel with a great spot overlooking the harbour. The room we had was up a steepish hill, but this wasn't a problem for us. The view was amazing from the room, and the king size bed was extremely comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and you didn't feel at all rushed. All in all, a great stay and felt very relaxed.
Emma on TripAdvisorA modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel
A modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel was definitely not expected. Wi-Fi worked in the room. The staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast provided a good selection, and the cooked items were really good. Sunday lunch was close to home made with plenty of different vegetables. Will definitely return!
David on ExpediaA very warm welcome and perfect harbour views
Lovely stay. We received a very warm welcome. The room was beautiful and very modern and stylish. Views from the room out to sea and overlooking the harbour were perfect. Evening meal was delicious and at breakfast there was a large choice of hot and cold foods.
Donna on booking-directly.comDecorated with taste in a classic style that embraces the age of the Inn
Lovely room overlooking the harbour, accessed from a flight of twisty stairs and a delightfully wonky corridor with original panelling and low, not for me, beams. Our room was decorated with taste in a classic style to embrace the age of the Inn without feeling like your Aunty Edna's house. Great to perch on the window seat and look out to sea with the thatch overhead. Fab breakfast, nicely presented by chefs who understand allergies; mine was strictly gluten-free. Don't be alarmed by the traditional pubby feel when you arrive; this isn't the experience you have as a guest, and despite being one floor up and directly over the front door and outdoor seating, there was no late-night noise to keep us awake at all. Lovely, friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.
