Canteen
Devon, Totnes - Café
Part of a community-owned gallery and co-working space, this nourishing daytime café at the bottom of Fore Street is just on the right side of worthy. Turkish eggs, smoked haddock and fluffy Vermont pancakes start the day, while at lunch there’s a line-up of very good grilled sandwiches: juicy slow-cooked chicken with gochujang mayo, perhaps, or thick-cut, beautifully roasted beetroot with sauerkraut and punchy north Devon Cheddar. To fill the plate, there are brightly dressed, farm-fresh salad leaves and a perky seasonal slaw. When the weather’s good, make the most of the colourful courtyard with a refreshing glass of homemade lemonade or a Heron Valley apple juice slushy.
