Albero in Torbay

We ordered olives and bread with dip for starters then paella for main. The paella was definitely not the best we have had. It really didn’t have any substance. Also we both suffered extreme acid reflux that very night. I would not go again for the paella but may have gone back for something else.

I booked a table at Albero for a Saturday evening meal for 4 of us, I did this online which all seemed to go smoothly. I made a note to say one of my friends has a shellfish allergy, having worked in hospitality & trained in allergens, it’s always been nice when guests let you know of any allergies in advance as this can allow for time to prepare. I was happy to be able to make the online booking, because in the past when we’ve booked in person, or over the phone, we have had our reservations not make it to the hand written booking sheet, but thankfully we have always been squeezed in so we could enjoy their delish food. So we were onto a great start, I had received an email to confirm the booking - winner. Ahead of going, my friend with the shellfish allergy had looked at the menu, thought pizza would have been the best option to have and probably the easiest for the restaurant to accommodate. It even states on the menu supplied on the website ‘If You Have a Food Allergy, any Special Dietary Requirement or Religious Belief then please Inform a Member of our Hospitality Team. Our Food is prepared to Order but we handle all Allergens in our busy kitchen so we can not guarantee any dish is 100% Allergen Free. So Please Always Ask. Thank You’. I’m thinking this is fantastic, it sounds like they know exactly what they’re doing. Saturday arrives, I’ve travelled 3 hours to get to Brixham, & my friends were on their way to meet me (they also live an hour away). I get a phone call at 3.30pm on the Saturday we were due to dine, where the person who called told me I had a shellfish allergy (it wasn’t myself that has the allergy) and that they had cancelled our booking because they cannot have someone with a shellfish allergy in the restaurant and it was due to their insurance. To which I asked, how could they cancel our booking so last minute, and the response from the gentleman was that they do not look at the bookings until on the day. At this point I was just left speechless, and desperately needed to find somewhere for x4 people to eat in a Saturday evening, in 3 hours!! That’s not a mission I’d like to take on again any time soon. We were so letdown by Albero, my poor friend, who’s allergy is only reactive when she eats shellfish, was left absolutely mortified when I had explain why our booking had been cancelled and proceeded to spend all evening apologising she had ruined it. Shout out to The Drum Inn at Cockington for accommodating us so last minute and being absolutely spot on with allergies.

On the harbourside. Offers their take on Italian food. I had the squid sicilian based soup which was filling. I did ask for a Strega to have with and coffee but had to settle for a brandy based coffee instead as Strega was not stocked

Best meal I’ve had for a long time. Absolutely beautifully cooked with the freshest fish. And very smiley, accommodating staff. What more could you want? A great view? Had that too!

Amazing Little Find! We saw the special on the board for Sicilian Squid Stew and decided to give it a try. It didn’t disappoint and was absolutely delicious and full of flavour and loads of squid. We paired it with a sharing portion of their loaded fries and a glass of wine - fantastic! Pity it’s our last day here. 👌

Been eating here for some time now, we visit every time we are in Brixham. Never had a bad experience. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great menu. Quality, well cooked food. Perfect location. Keep doing what you're doing Albero, see you again for sure

Great find for a fussy ex Sandbank’s head chef, superb harissa fish cakes and salad, with equally good Pimms and Prosecco cocktail

Excellent food and service our favourite place to eat in brixham. Always have different specials so the menu changes regularly which makes it perfect for us regulars

Great location set right on the harbour, the food I was so good we went twice during our 3 day stay in Brixham. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and food absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Had such an amazing pizza last week, so tasty, fab service had to call in again for a chicken dish, although fully booked she managed to squeeze us in, beautiful chicken, tasty and fresh, would definitely go again when holidaying in the area,

Stopped for lunch at a quiet shady corner of Brixham harbour…Calamari to start followed by the most superb King size shell on Prawns in a sauce….great service , found space for our 2x labradors and good value for money menu… highly recommend

Harry and chefs. Can't fault anything about this restaurant. From the minute you walk in the door to the minute you leave. Service is exceptional. Creme brulè. Divine

This place was recommended by the owners of the holiday let we are staying at, and my word, one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in as a family. The food was out of this world. The service, from the moment we walked in, was amazing. One young lady and one young gentleman, serving the all of covers and they were friendly, efficient and happy. Would recommend Albero to anybody who has the opportunity to visit this special place. Thanks guys for your hospitality!

Coming back here again with friends from London. Again,beautiful amazing foods and service. Many thanks again. Looking forward to be back. ❤️🙏🤩

The best food in Brixham. Great service. Wonderful staff, especially Harry. Always accommodating. Fresh fish, daily, from the fish market in Brixham. Great wine and beer. Family and dog friendly. We love it here. Awesome veiw of the inner harbour. Just the best place to be, come rain of shine. Regular customers.

First visit for TallShips festival. Nice location. Pleasant staff. Lovely seafoods at ok prices. We will return next time we are in Brixham.

Never been before and we have missed out. That nice we ate here twice. Tuesday food was really good but on the Thursday it was excellent, probably because more choice on specials board. Had John Dory and hubby had lemon sole - it was recommended to only have 1 veg and same with chips as enough for two and it was. Staff really pleasant and service was fab. Definitely recommend

We absolutely loved our dinner tonight. The restaurant was full and the lovely young waiter, Harry, was on his own and did a great job. Food was amazing, young chefs worked their socks off. Would definitely revisit.

Fantastic food and service and our dogs made very welcome. Monkfish Spanish style veg with veg amazing. Booked to go back tomorrow!

Beautiful food and fantastic service. The staff are warm, welcoming, friendly and made sure we had had everything we needed. Theres plenty of choice for starters and the main meal. We had scallops and calamari to start with. The food was freshly cooked piping hot and absolutely delicious. For the main meal my partner choice Brixham hake which was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. I opted for the baked chicken parmigiana which was served with salad and french fries. Wow !!!!!!!! Fantastic food and service. Albero has seating inside and outside undercover. The view across the bay is lovely no matter what the weathers doing.

On our first night staying in Brixham we ventured into Albero’s for a meal and we were not disappointed. We hadn’t pre booked and even though very busy, they squeezed us in. Great food and very friendly service.

What a fabulous little restaurant, a real gem. I can’t recommend the fish chowder highly enough it was absolutely superb. Also thoroughly enjoyed sharing the small plates of chorizo sausages and the most amazing scallops, the garlic sauce they were in was just layered with flavour. The best thing is we could enjoy going out for a dinner of such high quality and take the dog too! Staff all really attentive and friendly too. Would highly recommend.

We were really happy to return to Albero's for a cheeky lunch as it's our fav restaurant in Brixham. in the summer it's such a lovey place to sit, watch, eat and drink!!! We have been here many times and I have reviewed it before but as there had been a gap and because it was so good I wanted to acknowledge that and review it again!! They have a focused standard menu and always a great special board focussed on locally sourced fresh produce which as you would expect is focussed on fish. The staff who are so friendly have become friends especially when we bring in our dog Mutley for them to fuss over!!! Harry and Mia ( hope that's right) are so good at what they do, great company and make our visits so relaxed 👍 Oh we can't forget the food the chef is so talented and on this occasion we had the most delicious smoked haddock chowder😋 I would reluctantly highly recommend this restaurant 👍 reluctantly as i want to keep it to myself😋😂

Alberos Tapas Tuesday offer...temped us out on a cold mid week night, and we were so glad it did. This snug little harbour side restaurant, with friendly service, offered up 5 tasty tapas ,plus a drink for £36 for two people . Plenty even for our hearty appetites . Now we can't wait to try their Thursday steak night. It's great to see restaurants using such initiatives on their quieter nights. Only one suggestion ,whilst I appreciate the table candles and flowers...please please dim the lights a little, for a more romantic ambiance...rather than caf bright. Don't miss out, but make sure to book

Came for mother's day the 3 of us and our dog cannot fault it from start to finish harry out waiter was amazing made us all feel welcome even the dog ! 🐶 The food was amazing and will definitely be back 5* all round thankyou thankyou again harry appreciate u looking after us

Went out to dinner and spotted the Tapas offer of 5 Tapas and 2 drinks for £36. We were very happy with the selection, the service and the presentation of the food. The Camembert with bread and dips was delicious. The prawns gorgeous and the tomato and mozzarella dish looked and tasted lovely. We also had the Parmesan fries and chorizo. There was enough food to defeat us and we highly recommend this Restaurant.

We went with our baby and three year old - everything from start to finish was fantastic. Even when the baby was unhappy, they were so accommodating. Maddie, our waitress, was amazing. She paid such attention to detail and was incredibly attentive. The food was delicious - we had prawns to start, kids pizza, diavolo and the special monkfish bites. All of it was delicious. Best meal we had in Brixham. Will definitely be back - thank you!!

Called In on a Monday evening. What a wonderful place. The service was very good. The food was amazing. I had the mussels and my wife had seafood chowder. We will definitely go back.

Many places closed on a Monday lunchtime in December - not surprising Came across Albero in the harbour corner Very friendly staff and lovely setting We shared a mussels / bread and a white fish chowder (superb) and some tasty fries Very reasonably priced for the quality and taste

Harry and chefs. Can't fault anything about this restaurant. From the minute you walk in the door to the minute you leave. Service is exceptional. Creme brulè. Divine

Harry the waiter was an absolute delight from start to finish and the food was proper banging innit. Absolute ledge let me pay as well so that helped

We had a lovely meal here whilst on holiday . The crab baguette and salt and pepper calamari were both amazing and very tasty .

Really wonderful restaurant with lovely staff. Visited as part of our trip to Brixham and booked a table here same day. Left a note to say we’d be bringing a dog in training, and the staff couldn’t have been any more accommodating for this. They were really lovely. Food was delicious as well and great to see chefs in the kitchen doing their thing. Thank you

We went here for evening meals on the first and last night of our holiday in Brixham, both memorable occasions. The food here is first class and the service friendly, there is a great atmosphere, whether you sit inside or outside right by the harbour. Both my meals were off the specials board, two of the best fish dishes I’ve had.

This was such a beautiful evening, we sat outside in the heated area with a lovely view of the harbour. The food was delicious we had mussels, pawns, haddock chowder and mushroom linguine. Brilliant service very friendly, definitely well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful impromptu evening here. A perfect spot overlooking the harbour with really fresh fish and a great menu. It felt like we were on holiday in the med dining outside and enjoying fab food & wine. The waiter was great and our dog was made very welcome. Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing!! The best fish restaurant in Brixham and probably the whole of Devon! Beautifully served, piping not and just the right amount of veg. Couldn't fault it. It's also dog friendly which is a bonus. Not too pricey.

Lovely spot overlooking harbour. We were attracted by this small casual restaurant tucked in the corner of the harbour, under cover and well lit. Enjoyed really fresh fish dishes well cooked, competitively priced and tasty. The waiter was brilliant, so personable and food was piping hot served with little wait time. Overall a very pleasant experience, couldn’t fault anything .

What a lovely little gem this place is, the staff were so friendly and helpful, we didn’t book and although they were really busy they found us a table. The food was lovely, we didn’t wait long and it was hot and tasty, would definitely recommend.

What a lovely little restaurant. We spent a very pleasant evening here. The food and service was excellent. We would definitely recommend a visit and hope to return.

We have been here several times now and we look forward to seeing what fresh fish specials they have to offer , always cooked to perfection and a varied choice every time, the staff make you feel so welcome and the service makes a great...

Seafood antipasti and lobster for me during this lovely visit. Located on the harbour I would highly recommend it. We were really impressed by the young team of chefs with amazing work ethic and able to deliver high quality food. Highly recommended

Just want to say a BIG THANKYOU to Harry and all the friendly staff for our delicious Hot Chocolates and wonderful friendly service

Great location, with a lovely view across the harbour. The waiter (owner?) was charming and went out of his way to accommodate a family member who is vegan. Being of Mediterranean decent, I was really impressed with the mushroom pasta dish..it was the best this...

Staying for a week locally and popped to Brixham for a day. Best meal of the week, we all had pizza which was freshly made. Reasonable pricing and friendly staff

Fantastic harbourside restaurant. Great pizzas and the Staff are brilliant. Our Number One Brixham restaurant.

We had a lovely seafood lunch here. Scallops, calamari and oysters for us and pizza for the little one. All top notch with some excellent wine and beer to accompany the food. Nice vibe and lovely, friendly staff.

Waited a significant time to be seated... got given menus but no-one came to take our order. Another group came in after us and were served before us but still ignored us... we got up and left.....

I have finally realised why this restaurant is perpetually busy and you are well advised to book….the food and service are….EXCELLENT.

What a lovely meal that was, my husband and I had 3 amazing course's sea food antipasti , muscles and honeycomb cheesecake all course's amazing flavour definitely recommend, the staff were really nice and friendly fabulous evening

The lovely waitress squeezed us in on a busy Bank Holiday Saturday night. The food was fantastic,the service attentive but unintrusive. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone

We visited last week while in Brixham on holiday and wow what a place food was 10/10 and service was 11/10. Great atmosphere and wasn’t hurried to eat and leave!! Will definitely be visiting on our return

I had a most excellent lunch to along with my wife. She had a salmon pizza, and I had Hake on a bed of new potatoes, scallops, chorizo, and peas in a gorgeous double cream sauce. Service was very good too, we will visit again.

Superb evening meal. Went back a second time. So many gorgeous flavours and such lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit

Outstanding, had the hake which was perfect, very reasonably priced, staff were great, a must visit- but book a table..

Visited with my wife for a dinner. Albero offers a relaxed, casual environment. The staff were friendly and polite. A small menu, which I prefer because what they do, they do really well. Great seafood, well presented, super fresh and tasty. Would recommend and we...

Made a booking online, had two confirmations.from them Went there and it was closed Still closed last week Is it going to open again?

Freshly prepared food with great ingredients, really tasty . Thoroughly enjoyed our meal of pasta. Service attentive and with a smile. Clean and comfortable. Only slight criticism is lighting felt too harsh for an evening meal.

What a shame. This restaurant could be great.. But service is unorganised and we felt very unwelcome, almost like we were an inconvenience! Food was average. Nice pizza but the pasta is shop bought rubbish. Would not recommend to visitors in the area which is...

Always great freshly prepared food with amazing flavours and ever changing specials. Excellent service too. Perfect Brixham venue with a warm inside area and a heated outside area. One of the best places in Brixham.

Food was superb and service exceptional .. We had a meal on Christmas Eve evening that was stunning. The evening was made even more special by rhe waiter and waitress that were so friendly and accommodating. Great setting and ambience.

Food was outstanding. As was the service. Visited with family and couldn’t fault a thing. All meals were delicious, fresh and tasty. Would definitely return.

In fact that isn't fair. Judt had a John dory and it may be one of the best things I have eaten ever. Lovely place, great staff and a relaxed fun atmosphere. And as I said...amazing food. Pasta, pizza etc really good. But a fresh...

The waiter was fantastic, great service and welcome from start to finish the food was delicious Great location Dog friendly Seafood choice deliciously fresh

Found that this restaurant was the only one that had red mullet on the menu. Cooked to perfection as was the plaice. Open kitchen so we could see our food prepared and cooked. All the staff seemed to work together and every course was great.

Amazing sea food restaurant in a prime location on Brixham harbour. We had a lovely meal, the mullet was very well prepared and presented, very tasty fresh fish. Would recommend.

Visited here on a quiet Tuesday night for my wife’s birthday. Sat in a beautiful setting on the harbour, the staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Dog friendly, which helped us with our two labradors. We shared an excellent fried fish starter. The Pinot Grigio...

Whole cooked plaice done to perfection! Staff were excellent and everything was prepared and cooked fresh. A glass of wine overlooking the harbour, what’s not to like! Thank you for a great meal.
