our story

Le Pisani was founded by Maltese Chef Ray Pisani in 2014. 

Comfortable, contemporary, stylish surroundings and friendly service together with fresh food with a Mediterranean flair have made the first restaurant in Axminster a truly local delight. 
​
In 2017, Le Pisani was faced with the opportunity of opening a second restaurant, this time in the sea side town of Seaton. After a lot of work, this became reality and with the help of Darren and his wife Rosabelle who came all the way from Malta to partner up with (Darren’s Uncle) Ray, a new addition to the Le Pisani Axminster was born. Both restaurants are now managed and run by the family along with a superb team of local talent. Together we bring a true taste of the Mediterranean to Devon. 

our Roots

Particularly known as the George Cross Island, the sunny island of Malta is conveniently situated in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, with its unique palate traditions and the use of various herbs to boost the flavours in every dish. The island’s strategic position between southern Europe and the northern coast of Africa, together with the close proximity to Italy, offers a superb cuisine. 

our food

Mediterranean Cuisine with a heavy touch of local influence.

From the typical English Breakfast to the mouth-watering Sunday Roast amongst a lot of other traditional British Classics, we also take you one step further into the Mediterranean Food Culture with dishes from France, Italy and Malta to name a few. Initially created by the very talented Maltese Chef Ray Pisani, and recently enriched with more ideas from our very talented Kitchen Team. Our healthy menu is influenced from traditional recipes from all around the Mediterranean. 
​
We take pride in using Fresh and Local ingredients and lots of love to prepare each dish to be simply delicious and unique, taking your taste buds through a sun kissed Mediterranean journey. 
Our Menu is specially made with you in mind, we have a selection of Vegetarian and Vegan options with a large percentage of the menu being also Gluten Free. We can also cater for other allergies, please feel free to talk to us for specific requests. 

You deserve nothing less than the best and so we use Brazier, a Somerset based Speciality Coffee Roasters company. 

Why is it called speciality coffee you may ask? Speciality Coffee is a superior coffee in simple terms, a speciality grade has to score 84 or more on a scale out of 100 for flavour. Brazier coffee is 100% speciality grade and can be easily traced right through the supply chain.
