Seahorse Cantina
A special meal in our private dining space
Celebrate at The Cantina
So much more than just another dining room….
The Cantina, tucked behind The Seahorse & Joe’s Bar in Dartmouth, is a small, intimate space made for long, leisurely meals with friends and family – the kind of place where wonderful food, wine, and company come together without any pretence.
At its centre is a handcrafted walnut table, surrounded by shelves of rare vintage wines – a setting that feels relaxed, welcoming, and made for celebrating life’s moments.
Ben has crafted a collection of seasonal menus ranging from 3 to 6 courses, inspired by his travels around Italy. You pick the menu that suits your party and occasion, and we’ll do the rest.
To book The Cantina, please select your menu and contact Sadie at reservations@seahorserestaurant.co.uk who will be delighted to personally take care of your reservation request
