"Bistro Bacchanalia's location on Sutton harbour, the true heart of the old city of Plymouth connected with great names from history like Sir Francis Drake, Charles Darwin, Captain Cook and Oliver Cromwell, provides a stunning backdrop for your meal, overlooking the marina and its busy comings and goings.
Bistro Bacchanalia is just one of a handful of restaurants in the country which has an Enomatic, a wine preservation system holding up to 16 bottles and by pairing the right wine with food, you can really taste the sensational flavours that the Westcountry landscape produces.
As well as being brilliant for seafood, no surprises there, it's steaks are out of the world. There aren't many places you can go to where a 20oz Chateaubriand is on the menu (for 2 people of course). There's also minute steak, contre steak, steak tartare, rump steak and Devon ribeye and not surprisingly, its reputation as a top steak house is growing and what's lovely is that it is all local.
The restaurant really prides itself in sourcing locally grown, reared and caught produce - its salads and vegetables grown at Newton Ferrers by the Nearly Naked Veg Company, meat has been grazed on the Westcountry landscape and is supplied by J Carders and Sons at Plymstock and the fish comes from across the harbour from Moby Nick. Its puddings, celebration cakes, pates, pastries, are all made in Bacchanalia's own kitchen. Check out the apple and blackberry cobbler with pouring cream - it's delicious.
Express lunches are perfect if you want something very good to eat, but time is against you - soup of the day, minute steak, skinny fries and salad, cream brulee all for just £13.95.
After lunch take a stroll along the Barbican's historic streets and head to the Mayflower steps where the Pilgrim Fathers famously set sail to the New World in 1620 or to Plymouth Hoe where Sir Francis Drake famously finished a game of bowls before tackling the Spanish Armada."
