Bamboo Palace

Bamboo Palace on St James Place has been Ilfracombe's established Chinese takeaway for many years, offering a broad Cantonese menu with evening service from Tuesday through Sunday. The kitchen covers the expected range of sweet and sour, black bean, chop suey and house special dishes, with reviewers noting quality food, reasonable pricing and prompt, polite service. The takeaway is closed on Tuesdays. St James Place is a short walk from Ilfracombe's harbour and the Damien Hirst Verity statue, placing it in the network of streets behind the seafront that serves both local residents and visitors. A reliable neighbourhood Chinese rather than a destination in its own right.
