Brixham Cafe in Torbay

I try a lot of different fish and chip shops around the south west and I must say this was one of the best I've had in a while! Chips were good quality, nice and crisp and full of flavour. Large cod cooked in a lovely batter, portion size good too. Service quick and efficient. Was just what I needed after a long day walking the coast path. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend!

We were looking for traditional fish and chips one but wanted the option of steamed fillet rather than deep fried. The steamed haddock was a good size and fresh. The batter on the cod was excellent and the portion size good. We were beaten by the generous portions of chips and should perhaps have just suggested one.

We have eaten here several times when visiting Brixham as we believe it is one of the best fish and chips shops in the harbour. We have had gorgeous fish and chips as takeaway but have also enjoyed sitting upstairs in the restaurant with a lovely view of the harbour. The staff are so friendly and attentive and an absolute credit to the place. It is reasonably priced for food and drinks and the service is pretty quick even when busy. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Remember to book. Inside outside seating. Outside looking over the fishing boats on their way in and out. Heating and rugs supplied. !! - Had a super fish, could not have been more fresh -yum! Chips in cups BUT can be refilled as often as you want. Hint, plenty of stairs up to a (high) restaurant so note there is a lift through the door to the left of the main entrance. Well worth going for a meal.

We had one of the upstairs window booth seats in this traditional chip shop. We both had cod, chips and mushy peas and the food was delicious and reasonably priced as some other chip shops in the same area are pricey in comparison. The fish came with a scattering of scratchings that you used to get in chip shops years ago. Only food negative was that I wished I hadn't bothered with the slice of bread and butter I ordered as an extra as it appeared to be quite a cheap bread slice which tasted slightly stale (as if it had been sitting on the side) and I think it was margarine rather than butter. Service was a little strange and a bit irritating as we were approached a few times whilst eating by a male member of staff, not to see if the food was ok but to see if we had finished with glasses, crockery etc. My husband had his plate taken away as soon as he'd finished his last mouthful even though I was still eating. At one point we were both eating with a mouth full of food and we were being asked if we'd finished with a glass shortly after we'd just had something else collected. At this point the staff member said something like "it's ok we don't have a dishwasher and so we're trying to keep on top of things" We ordered 2 bottles of cider which came without ice in the accompanying glasses, not a problem to ask but he came back with about three tiny pieces of ice to share. Excellent food but perhaps need to be a bit less keen to keep taking away things from the table and wait for everyone at the table to finish eating before removing plates.

Went here for a fish supper, after reading reviews, the restaurant which is up steep stairs. We were told to take a seat where ever we wanted, the waitress came over and took our order telling us we would have a mountain of chips, which...

Best fish n chips I have ever had!! Just amazing 🤤👌 took me 10 minutes to finish it and was struggling!!! Sorry chippy Dre, Tremadog, this is next level!!

Last year, the fish a chips from here (takeaway) were fabulous. Definitely up there with the best. I’ve had 2 takeaways in the past week and sadly not as good as previously. It’s almost as if everything has been turned down by 20 degrees. The...

Amazing Gluten Free Fish & Chips! Curry sauce, service and mushy peas were amazing with a beautiful view.

10/10 - one of the best fish&chips I’ve ever had! Good service, lovely food and great views! Worth a visit for sure!!

We live locally and although this restaurant is close during the winter I consider it to be the best in Torbay. It’s not as flash as Rochfish and doesn’t have the choice of diff ent catch of the days that Rockfish or Simply fish have....

We visited here for a takeaway whilst staying locally. There was plenty of choice on the menu, the food was cooked freshly to order and priced reasonably. Service was friendly too.

Staying in our Motorhome at HillHead, birthday and anniversary week - have been down to Brixham many times read the reviews for this establishment and thought we would give it a try. We have tried many fish & chip meals while traveling around the country...

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our cod and chips tea yesterday. Because they were piping hot when they were wrapped, they were the right temperature for eating when we got back to Greenway. These are the first fish and chips...

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a great fish and chip lunch, large portions (1 Lemon Sole, 1 Plaice), too many chips really. Good view of harbour from the window, good service, friendly staff.

We’ve been visiting Brixham for many years and, for some reason, this was our first visit. We ate in the restaurant upstairs. The service was excellent and so was the food. My husband’s only complaint was that he burned his mouth on the first chip!...

Had large cod and chips to take away and eat overlooking harbour. Took about 12 mins after ordering to get it, but it was well worth the wait. Plenty of fish cooked in a crispy tasty batter. Chips were chips and not just the crispy...

Absolutely beautiful gluten free fish and chip, most definite the best. Great service in restaurant, lovely views across the harbour, well worth a visit.

I’ve got this thing about having fresh fish and chips from the seaside. Don’t usually have normal chips because we live in the Black Country so orange chips is our preferred chips. However the fish and chips here are superb. The best waterside fish and...

I called here for takeaway fish and chips because of the very high ratings. I was disappointed with the offerings. The chips were rather soggy and more than half of them were the small slivers, which suggested I had got the end of the batch....

Would definitely recommend the fish and chips from Brixham Fish restaurant. The fish is cooked fresh so there is a small wait but we’ll worth it. Best fish and chips I have had

Came here for lunch today in the restaurant and cannot rate this place highly enough. What a difference to another local take away fish and chip shop we bought from last week. Difference is like a mini and a Rolls Royce! The fish was fresh...

This establishment said the admitted dogs so we chose it. What an excellent choice. The fish was a good sized piece and the chips were an enormous portion, plus a choice of mushy or garden peas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The first...

Every time we come to brixham (23 years now) we have fish and chips here always perfectly cooked moist cod with a light crispy batter and large portions very good value for money too. Garry always has time for a chat he works tremendously hard...

You will need to book if you want outside seating. However you will not be disappointed with great views of harbour. The menu consisted of fish caught that day. Cooked perfectly, great food. Local cider if you like cider.

Have always had excellent fish and chips here over many years . This year one in family needed gluten free option and they said that was very nice too. I always ask in various fish and chip shops do they have proper mushy peas. They...

Can't say it was the best fish and chips in Brixham, as only ever had these.. but they are very good! Would recommend! Definitely recommend the haddock.

We wanted to avoid batter, to taste the fish, so the waitress said they could fry the skate for us. They did...in batter. No offer to change it. The fish was tasteless and bony. Interestingly, there is absolutely nothing on the provenance of any of...

Best fish and chips in Brixham, freshly cooked to order so you don't mind waiting for your order to arrive. Just melted in your mouth.

The best fish and chips we have found. Perfectly cooked and generous helpings. Definitely service with a smile even when busy.

Doesn't look a 'special' touristy fish and chip place, but I really think is the best! Freshly cooked .. delicious chips .. soft and fluffy in the middle, but crisp and not even slightly greasy! Fish the same, with lovely batternas it should be! Prices...

In these times when money is tight and you want the value and best cooked fish'n'chips then visit here. The prices are good and the food is cooked the old fashioned way and fresh. Try the skate if not then the Rock Salmon. I promise...

If you come to Brixham, you have to eat fish and chips. This is the place to get them. We decided to pig out and so went down to order to find people standing around waiting outside. It seems like most food is done to...

Really good fish and chips for all the family. Gluten free batter was crisp and delicious. My family said the same about the normal fish. The childrens meals were very generous.

After a lovely day at Brixham, we decided to eat at the restaurant. Portion sizes were bigger than we had expected and it was good value for money. It was absolutely delicious. Would 100% recommend to my Tripadvisor friends. I will visit again soon!!!

We visited Brixham last year for 5 days last July and stumbled across this stunning fish and chip shop. You can look on you tube for other reviews on other chip shops in the area but none come close to this place. We arrived almost...

We ate here on a Sunday afternoon. The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. We were seated by the window, overlooking the harbour. We tried the local gin and beer which was really nice. We opted for the special which was fish, chips and mushy...

Very Good food here, perfect location on the harbour. The crab and lobster linguini was terrific. Highly recommended.

Not much else to say other than it was amazing. Sat right in the window and watched the world go by whilst eating fish and chips. Fish was covered so well and not a heavy batter. Just perfect and the gravy well that was assume....

Staff and restaurant was lovely but on this occasion the food had very little taste .and the fish was mushy so either prev frozen and got frost damage or somehow filled with water

Lovely fish and chips. Light crispy batter. Good sized portions and proper mushy peas. Thank you already looking forwards to our next visit.

We have been coming here for the past 4 years when we first discovered it and I can honestly say it is the most consistant in the quality and service. the cod was delicious, fresh white thick flakes of cod and nicely cooked chips. good...

We ate takeaway while sitting outside the pub next door, which is allowed after a certain time. Good value portions and lovely cod, haddock was also very nice, the less adventurous who preferred to have burgers were also happy.

My husband and I had delicious fish and chips here last night. We sat upstairs in the restaurant, had a great harbour view and enjoyed a very pleasant bottle of wine with our meal. Great value for money in this ‘no frills’ excellent restaurant.

Of all the seafood restaurants in Brixham this is the worst. Overpriced, miserable staff, you feel like your " in the way". 34 GBP for two basic fish n chips accompanied by two glasses of free soda water. Dreadfull service,dreadfull staff, fish quality was good...

Excellent fresh fish and chips, arguably better than David’s imho. Great that there is a smaller portion option for those with a lesser appetite and on a budget. Still great quality and service.

We were lured to this place based on the o line menu of “ locals menu” £20 for 2 courses, but having booked and ordered a bottle of one were told that they no longer offered that choice. Despite this we ordered 2 mains that...

Based on the great Tripadvisor reviews abd that fact that they were open on a Sunday we made the 40 mil trip each way from our hotel Excepted to arrive…… only to find out that the take away and restaurant were both closed. Owner- please...

We moved to Brixham in 2020 and have tried most of the fish and chips takeaways..but Brixham Fish & Chips on the Harbourside is by far the tastiest, with perfectly cooked chips. None of their food is greasy, the fishcakes are yummy too as are...

Wow, just visited this place and to say we were impressed is an understatement. Best fish and chips we have ever had. Restaurant is clean and spacious with fabulous views of the harbour. Excellent service, great value for money, we would definitely recommend.

Pretty tacky all round really, it took quite some time to be served, but when we were the waiting staff were friendly and helpful. (Bonus!) .The food was piled high on our plates, far far too much for any one person to eat. The batter...

Had a delicious gluten free fish and chips including vinegar. Friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended

All seating upstairs, some with view of harbour and houses opposite. We requested our fish to be steamed which were very nice and well worth the money. Chips and peas very good. Two members of staff who served us didn't seem happy to be there...

excellent value and quality again from Brixham Fish . thick fresh cod white flakey fish and light crisp batter and loads of chips.

Great food, portions, atmosphere, service, location and price hidden off the street in an upstairs room which has plenty of air and a great view but still manages to be cosy somehow. Was spotlessly clean even on a busy sunny day as well which was...

Decided to come here due to good reviews but was a bit of a letdown. Restaurant upstairs was really warm as windows only open about couple of inches. Probably for health and safety but needs some kind of air circulation. Chips very good and get...

Delicious fish and chips at a very reasonable price. Great service with a smile. Views over harbour from the window. Would highly recommend.

We have been coming to this place for a number of years, and you still get the amazing service and outstanding quality of food, fully recommend this to anybody

Distinctly average. Excessive wait on food where tourists were treated like second class citizens and had to wait where as locals walked in and walked back out again. Bits missing from order saveloy had clearly been left under the lights too long. Chips were still...

Really tasty, freshly cooked Cod and Chips. Great view in the restaurant which is upstairs. Plenty of tables so no need to pre-book which is great.

Nice fish. Chips were not very nice, bit hard. The pickled onions soft. Mushy peas needed salt. Paid more for takeaway than eating in for some reason. Girls serving were not friendly at all!
