Rainbow Corner Café, Ilfracombe

We’d been meaning to pop in and see what the Rainbow Corner Café was like for some time as it’s changed hands several times in the past few years, so yesterday we made it and it was wonderful.

I had a belly buster – two eggs, jumbo sausage, bacon and beans plus toast and tea. Sometimes food just doesn’t get any better.

The menu ranges from fish and chips to breakfasts, cottage pie and chilli with rice (I think), so there’s quite a range.

We don’t have a fry-up often, but Rainbow Corner Café comes recommended by me for the food, bright and clean decor, and friendly service. It’s on the corner of the High Street and Northfield Road, opposite the Ilfracombe Centre.

Ilfracombe is so lucky to have such a wide range of restaurants and cafés offering pretty much anything you could want.

We’ll certainly be going again, although maybe for a cup of tea rather than a belly buster – got to think of my waistline.

Hi Rob, never been to Rainbow Cafe myself, but will try next time I’m in Ilfracombe. My personal favourite is Wild Thyme Cafe in Braunton. Also like the Red Barn Woolacombe for a cooked breakfast…Nice blog

I agree – Ilfracombe is a foodies delight – we went to the Manor House Cafe on the High Street – definatly a locals haunt who were very friendly to us grockles too! Their homecooking was delicious.
Great meal in Basils on Fore Street too.
Stayed at the Rosedale B&B – sooo comfortable!

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We went to Dolly’s café on the seafront for lunch. Good food and great value.
