Nik Nak Noodles

Nik Nak Noodles is a small, family-run Thai kitchen in Teignmouth, cooking fresh, home-made Thai food to eat in or take away at prices that undercut most sit-down restaurants - mains with rice or noodles come in around £9. The handful of outside seats look out over the bay and the boats, a genuinely good spot to eat given how modest the operation otherwise is.

Green curry and pad Thai are the dishes regulars keep coming back for, both known locally for generous portions and properly balanced flavour rather than a watered-down tourist-menu version of Thai cooking. It has built a strong reputation on word of mouth, sitting among Teignmouth's best-reviewed restaurants despite - or maybe because of - staying small and unfussy. It suits a quick, cheap, genuinely tasty lunch or dinner more than a special-occasion night out, and that seems to be exactly what it is aiming for.
