Exeter chef Michael Caines has once again been judged among the best in the country in this year's Good Food Guide, with his Gidleigh Park restaurant named in the top 50.
Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, in Rock, Cornwall, was listed fourth in the UK and the best in the south west.
But Mr Caines came in at number 34 in the list.
Chef Simon Rogan's restaurant L'Enclume was ranked the best in Britain for the second year running, with judges praising its farm-to-fork philosophy.
The Cumbrian eatery won a perfect 10 cooking score alongside two other restaurants, Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, the first time in 15 years that the Good Food Guide to Britain's top restaurants awarded three full marks simultaneously.
The Fat Duck, ranked second, has now scored a perfect 10 for seven years in a row – longer than any other restaurant since the guide adopted its current scoring system.
The guide's consultant editor Elizabeth Carter said: "After a break of a decade, Gordon Ramsay's Chelsea flagship has once again been awarded a perfect 10."
The guide, published by Waitrose, ranked the London restaurant Pollen Street Social sixth, followed by Nottingham's Restaurant Sat Bains at seven and Phil Howard's The Square at eight. Cheltenham's Le Champignon Sauvage, at ninth and Brett Graham's The Ledbury completed the top 10.
