Otto Restaurant in Torbay

Saturday 8.45pm to be told kitchen is closed! Unbelievable

First time there and will definitely be going again

I sat for half an hour no one came to take my order. I left

Amazing place absolutely love the food. Great staff, service and atmosphere.

It is an amazing place! Our food was ready in 5 minutes! Wow!!! Pizzas were SO delirious! Thank you to all team Otto!

Really nice place. Great breakfast, great service.

Just the best breakfast EVER!!!

It's a nice place. Nice views/decor etc. Stopped in for coffee and a cake and got given the world's thinnest slice of cake ever put in front of a paying customer. It was quite funny because the waiter put it down in front of my son with a bit of a flourish. When he left I looked at it and it was napkin thin. A slight gust of wind would've carried the slight collection of crumbs into the harbour! I don't even know how they managed to slice it that thin and get into a plate. It was impressive in a way I suppose! Wife's coffee was cold. Left feeling a more than a bit gouged. Everyone else's food looked pretty nice to be fair. Hope the next person enjoys the cake I paid for!

Went to Otto for dinner on a Saturday night and had a wonderful time. The pizza was amazing and came very quickly, absolutely devoured them. Can def recommend the garlic aioli too!

Great coffee cakes and views. Staff were very efficient.

As a local we keep trying the food and unfortunately disappointed again. Location is great and friendly staff and perfect place for a drink. But just had 2 pizzas - light in the toppings but it is the base - too soggy & doughy. Really should be more crisp - difficult to slice and eat. Before you eat your pizza, check the base first and get it done again otherwise it is heavy eating. But as usual we will still support it but not not food.

If you haven’t been, you need to go. Just had a stunning breakfast where every ingredient was cooked with love. Decor and vibe is beautiful and the Staff were very friendly. Definitely be back soon 🤩🤩

Sat outside. Views were lovely. Outside seating could have been comfier. Full English breakfast was okay but I think pricey for what it was. Pot of tea barely fills 2 small cups so you have to buy more tea. £7 spent on tea for literally 4 smalls cups is a joke.

Great drinks, delicious food and all set in a well placed venue to look over the harbour.

Love going to this restaurant...no matter what the weather the view is great and the atmosphere is so friendly and cozy. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I had the Steak & Eggs and it was simply awesome 😋😋😋

Came for brunch and the staff were really warm, food and drinks came within a good time and it was beautiful. Coffee snob and it was really tasty.

Friendly & efficient service, lovely space with great views, delicious food, very reasonably priced.

I've spent the entire week in Torquay and on the second day came across this gem of a bar. The food is absolute top notch but the best thing I can say about the place is now great the staff are. They were really accommodating with us having our puppy in tow. Currently here on my 4th visit of the week which says it all.

Visited for Brunch. I had a fisherman's breakfast and my wife had otto benedict. Both were delicious.

Had a very good pizza here overlooking the harbor and reasonable price.

Had late breakfast/brunch here on Saturday. Highly recommended, the food was delicious, waiting staff were spot on and the whole place had a really nice vibe about it. Definitely worth a visit, be back again soon. 👍🏻

Really great location and great food. The staff are really friendly and attentive. There is a large car park adjoining the restaurant too. Would highly recommend if visiting Torquay.

Stopped by for a light brunch, highly recommend the vegan breakfast, the best in the bay. Great service and coffee from Jazz and Jordan!

Stopped off at Otto after exploring the area. We nipped in for a few bites to eat and a drink. The girl who served us on the (28th of Aug 2024 - 3ish maybe 4ish - so sorry I did not get your name) you were great! Great recommendation on the lemon slice we bought, the coffee and hot was brilliant too! Thank you :D

Just walked in by chance. The pizza was so light and delicious. The service was excellent. We was well looked after. Had a lovely family time. Dogs are welcomed ❤️

Excellent food and service. Posh pizza place with beautiful harbour views. Walk in service, no table bookings. Friendly staff. Entrance is in the marina carpark. £14 standard pizza which great ingredients.

Lovely place high quality food and drinks lovely décor highly recommend

Delicious food, friendly staff. Enjoyed our Otto benedict lunch

The entrance to the restaurant is up some steps, from the Pavillion Marina car park. You cannot book a table here so you have to queue up & wait until one becomes free. There is a set selection of pizzas, including a monthly special one. We had a Spinach & Olive one, a Pesto Pomodorini, a Ndjua Giallo & Diavola. Sides were also available as were desserts but we were too full. I'd like to have tried the Kahlua Tiramisu. During other times they have a brunch / sandwiches menu. NB you have to order & also pay for your drinks & food at the bar.

I would have written a glowing report as I had been eating here whilst working locally for a week and the food had been stunning, but I turned up today only to be told they had shut down the kitchen for 20 mins as they were ‘overwhelmed’ and there would likely be a delay after that too!? Overwhelmed? You’re a restaurant for heaven sake, you don’t shut down your kitchen! A very sad ending to my week in Otto!

Really great location! The service placed a lot of emphasis on ensuring that we had a nice view of the harbor and was very nice overall! I ate the most delicious grilled cheese here! The price was also really, really good!

Great pizzas and great service. I particularly liked the butterfly pea latte.

Worst coffee of my life, "Americano" looks more like a "Cube Gold" broth than a real sock coffee (it looked like dishwater). And the double espresso must have a PH close to 1 . Concerning the service, it is almost non-existent because you place your orders via a QRcode.... thank you for the human warmth. Fortunately the framework straightens the bill a little, because we unfortunately cannot count on the food which although edible, does not break three legs of a duck.

My wife and I visited while we were on holiday this week and the food was beautiful. Reasonable prices, great friendly staff and the food was amazing. The pizzas are beautiful. Keep up the good work guys.

We where in Torquay to pick up a pair of sunglasses that i like. And as it was lunch time we saw Otto and went in for a drink and something to eat. Wow 👌 all the meals are freshly cooked and takes a little time to get to your table. But that's not a problem as you can just admire the views and it's worth the wait. Thank you Otto we will be back the next time we come to Torquay

Fantastic pizza, amazing atmosphere and in a beautiful location

Beautiful place with an overlook of the harbour woth great food. 5 empty plates 😀

Very pleasant chatty staff, food good.

The pizzas were fantastic and they came out in 5/10 minutes. Would definitely come in again

Had been told to visit this place but experience was ruined by a yapping sausage dog. DOGS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN RESTAURANTS. Two people walked out without staying. Such a shame staff were lovely food was great

We stopped by here for a drink. Lovely spot and great for people watching, looking out on the bay below. Friendly staff

Love it here so cute, indoors and out it’s just simply beautiful. Especially outdoors it’s overlooking the harbour. Just think prices are slightly high for the food that’s all.

Usually, the rule is that seaside restaurants with great views have poor food, but Otto is an exception! The staff were welcoming and efficient. The brunch we had was delicious, quality ingredients well prepared. Great coffee too. It was quite noisy so we didn't linger too long, but the outlook was terrific 👏

Ate here twice in a week both times the food was absolutely superb. Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. Will be out New go to for breakfasts in Torbay.

Just had a brunch there. Luckily we arrived early so had a choice of tables outside. It was getting much busier closer to 10:30. Service was really friendly, view was beautiful and the food itself fresh and delicious. The toilets were also immaculate. Would recommend highly and look forward to going back. It's the type of menu from which I found tricky to choose one thing!

Amazing brunch, 10/10! Huge portions and really tasty.

Had an amazing Vegan breakfast at Otto's, simply the best I've ever had. The staff were really lovely and the location is beautiful. Can't recommend the vegan breakfast highly enough.

I had such a good experience in here! From the moment I stepped in the staff couldn't do enough for me. The coffee was excellent, and my meal was delicious - fresh high quality ingredients, beautifully prepared. I came in with my dog and he was made a fuss of, snuck a sausage from the kitchen and made friends with all the lovely staff who were the sweetest people. Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere, and have I mentioned the excellent coffee? 10/10 recommend. Thank you to the wonderful staff x

Lovely staff and service. Good location. We stopped in for a coffee and sat on the small balcony. The music did get a little loud later in the afternoon though. They also had free (delicious) cupcakes for all to celebrate Otto's first birthday which was a nice touch.

Lovely setting, friendly and efficient staff. The food is always amazing.

First time visiting this hidden gem,romantic weekend for me and my partner and we stumbled across this beauty. Brilliant customer service,epic food and outstanding views!

Ex chef review : Considering it’s a breakfast/brunch place only I would expect more from food . Visited with my partner she had avocado toast overloaded with half tomatoes which looked they’ve been reheated and not cooked to order she mentioned there was something spicy there also … (would definitely be better with thinly sliced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes) I’ve had Otto Breakfast egg (fried) was basically well done , sausage and bacon also reheated, new potatoes hmm? seemed like they were just sat under salamander to reheat also, would definitely prefer deep fried hash brown the homemade beans were nice just not enough beans in it. Service alright they’ve checked on us if everything is good and we said yes. Chef sat at the front in his posh Michelin lookalike blue kimono doing something on laptop. Just put some effort to it and it may work out for few years that’s my opinion.

Was OK. We were there for brunch, food was OK, although there was more chilli in the avocado toast than you'd normally expect. Alcohol relatively expensive. Great view over the harbour

Now, we dropped into Torquay to catch up with an old bud. We haven't been for lunch in Torquay for a while and we dropped into Otto. Firstly a great location and good greeting. Views are great and the staff good also. Now being a cyclist you end up having a lot of cakes breakfasts etc in many cafes and restaurants while out. And I can honestly say I think that was one of the the best breakfasts I've ever had. I wish that was out on the trails while on the bike 🤣. Everyone else also enjoyed their food. We'll worth the visit.

Such a lovely experience! We had the eggs Benedict which was delicious and a good portion size. Brought our two dogs and they were very dog friendly, gave them a fuss and came to ask if they wanted any water or treats. Every single staff member was so friendly and helpful which was lovely. Nice vibe, decor and pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Quite probably the best place we went to eat whilst in the area. The staff were wonderful, the place was busy (for good reason) and the food was brilliant. We are tempted to return on our remaining day in the area as nothing has come close to the standard of Otto's. Thank you!

Jenny Waldron I booked a table for 10 people for brunch today. The staff were charming and helpful, the food fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. The location is great too. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Great atmosphere and all down to the staff. Great pizza too!

Brought a group of 12 to dinner and the team on shift were so friendly and accommodating; even came and took our orders when it’s normally bar service. The pizzas were awesome! Good drinks on offer and a really nice atmosphere. Thank you Otto!

Food was lovely, we had the soup and grilled cheese. Jas who looked after us is a credit to you. He’s such a lovely, warm, friendly guy. He made sure everything was perfect for us

Epic brunch. The Otto brekkie was delicious, hot & cooked to perfection & the avocado toast was next level. Service was super friendly & helpful & the view/setting was gorgeous. Can't recommend enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Otto, friendly, smiling staff, beautiful location with views of the harbour. The Otto Breakfasts and Otto Benedict were excellent as was the coffee, we will return.

We came for breakfast 2 days ago and it was delicious. The food was fresh, hot and locally sourced. We loved the atmosphere and the waiters were so polite. We came back tonight for pizza as breakfast was that good, and the pizza was just as good. We had the dough balls which were absolutely delicious and the pizza was fresh, cooked well and quick service. The staff were brilliant again. Highly recommend! :)

Absolute fantastic service very friendly superb food the staff couldn't be more friendly brilliant views over the harbour highly recommend will certainly go there again

Brilliant brunch at Otto, great decor and atmosphere inside, an elevated position that enables you to see across the harbour as you eat, drink and chat. Will definitely be back, great addition to Torquay. More of this!

A last minute decision to eat out and we decided to give it a go, what a great choice it was as we were completely impressed with the service, food and atmosphere what a wonderful experience, we will be most definitely back soon. I have already told all my family and friends about Otto’s… My new favourite place… 🥰

Parking is right outside - in fact you could say that the Restaurant is built in the middle of a carpark! 70p for half hour and £1.40 for an hour. They don't take reservations but at this time of the year it's 'straight in' and no queuing out the door like you would on a sunny evening in August. As soon as you're shown to your table, and you've sat down, you're informed (by the waiter) that you need to order at the bar. No problem but 'Why do they have waiters'? Anyway we ordered the 'Otto Breakfasts' for £10.95. This is the smaller of the two English Breakfasts with a few less items than the 'Big Devonshire Breakfast' at £15.00 They arrived quickly. Simply speaking, the Poached egg was excellent. The bacon, sausage & toast were adequate. The 'Plum' tomatoes were in fact not plum tomatoes but overgrilled & kept warm sliced tomatoes, so badly dried out they were almost unrecognisable. The 'Otto beans' were utterly vile - a disgusting concoction of white and darker beans in a tomato sauce then with raw onion finely sliced into the pot. The 'Home potatoes' were simply a lazy Chef's idea. Small boiled whole Charlotte style salad potatoes (with skin on) and as far as I could tell, no other culinary process (like frying?) had been applied. So some good, some average and some appalling. That's not good enough to attract us back.

Have been to Otto numerous times over the last 6 months. The pizza is incredible, lots of options and always so fresh and tasty. Have been for evening drinks and their cocktails are lovely, Otto has a great vibe day or night. The deli and coffee in the daytime is also excellent. Highly recommend.

Really nice restaurant Lovely people and great food

Great food and good coffee and very polite friendly service worth a visit

Great looking place and great atmosphere. Customer service was welcoming and friendly, genuinely nothing seemed too much trouble. Unfortunately we waited nearly 1 hour for 2 eggs benedict of which 1 egg was extremely under cooked and the other extremely over cooked (the same for both plates), the bacon was also over cooked and greasy. We didn't complain as we had tried to pop in for something quick to eat and were now likely going to be late for our meeting. We won't be returning but have heard good things about this place and to be fair it was really busy on a Tuesday lunchtime so assume poor quality and long wait was down to under staffing.

Excellent staff, and a dog-friendly restaurant. The tables are well spaced so you don't feel crowded, but the restaurant still had a nice buzz about it during lunch today.

Visited the area whilst away for business & spotted Otto down at the front of the bay & did a quick Google search & had to try the pizza menu which is available after 4pm.have to say, the pizza was excellent! Great base & crust & also ordered the garlic pizza bread...again top notch. Highly recommend if visiting the area & certainly will visit again when down for business.

Nice interior, great view and pleasant staff. Limited Pizza menu . Pizza 'ok' at best but served on cold plates so turn into cold Pizza within minutes of being served. Others do it better.

Great brunch and pizza options with a good drinks selection all served with a smile

Service was excellent, as was the pizzas and coffee. Great atmosphere. I will definitely be going back

Absolutely delightful! We spent 3days in Torbay on holiday and this was the only place we went out for breakfast, lunch and dinner with our 3year old daughter. Full English is outstanding! Cooked perfectly with delicious ingredients. Pancakes were equally incredible! All served by friendly and very welcoming team of staff! It is clearly a very popular place and rightfully so because it’s a fab experience all round! Thank you team Otto!

Ottos is the gem of Torquay. Although we are local we like to go somewhere with good food, coffee and exceptional customer service. Ottos is the place. Prices are reasonable with good selection on the menu and great pastries and cakes, you also get a grand view of the harbour. Thankyou to the great staff for your brilliant service.

Lovely place, which seems suitable for any time of day or most occasions. We stopped for coffees and hot chocolates - very well done - and found the bakes to be very good too but it also seemed popular for cocktails and other drinks and did pizzas. Staff generally very welcoming, the female colleague with southern hemisphere accent particularly hospitable and professional. Would recommend it and likely return, ideally with a booking to enjoy the harbour view while eating/drinking.

What a beautiful place. Chilled out music playing while we sat outside on the verandah. Lovely staff the brunch we chose. Poached eggs on sourdough toast with bacon. It was lovely. And 3poached eggs!! Coffee lovely perfect setting ! Can't wait to return thank you x

Still trying to get over a bit of melted cheese on an average slice of bread (1slice) cost £5.95, my partner had tomato soup , which was told on arrival that it was Mediterranean vegetable , if I did not know better the tomato soup was not home made something you would buy that would come in tins , this came with 2slices of bread warmed up with a thin slice of Swiss cheese , something you'd buy at a supermarket, as in sliced , one fruit juice cost us nearly £18

Came here for brunch late on a Friday morning. It was relatively busy in the round ‘lookout’ on a drizzly day. Service was bright and good. The menu is largely made up of continental type dishes as well as the British norms. We selected a shakshuka, sun dried tomatoes and avocado on toast with a soft drink each (coffee and sparkling water) The meals took a bit of time to come and were good, if not brilliant, in terms of taste and quality. The cost came to over £50 for 3 which is quite expensive.

Great atmosphere and location. The food was excellent, especially the Pesto Pomodorino, but lacked a bit of variety (pizzas only in the evening). Staff are very friendly and working extremely hard.

Very nice , relaxed atmosphere , good food , good menu choices and excellent , all round views. The staff were very friendly helpful and polite . Good value for money .

It's Sunday morning and we are on a bus adventure. From Teignmouth, we skipped down the hill from Wellswood and decided to come into Otto for the first time. We used to frequent this place when it was Wesup. It's nice, a step up from the previous. Seems to be very well patronised with lots of young and affluent couples eating huge great breakfasts. And they all look good....and come in so many different options!! Beautiful views towards the harbour ( not so good towards decrepit Debenhams) and the decor is lovely and the background music is cool and not overbearing. We couldn't face breakfast but had homemade granola and fruit selections, which were tasty. Plus, cos we loved the place, 2 coffees each. Breakfasts are served to mid afternoon when it turns into Pizza land. Plus a good selection of cocktails towards evening. Lovely venue, nice ambiance. Would give it a FIVE.....but.....they allow dogs in the place. Very sad....there really is no hiding place from the English obsession with dogs....

Great place, staff very friendly and great service. Food taste great and is plenty of it for the price

Food was reasonable..drinks were a little expensive. Good service. But was cold and not very busy.

Only popped in for a drink before walking the Bay of lights at dusk Superb setting. Only had 2 x lux hot chocolates (lovely) but had a chat with friendly manager and will defo be back for brunch or pizza Great location and lovely venue

Called in for a quick pint and pizza after our delayed train. Food tasty and reasonable price. Special thanks to the Manager - she made us feel special. Try this place if in Torquay as it has stunning views of the harbour , nice staff...

Great little gem overlooking the marina, wood fired pizza and cocktails or coffee. Helpful friendly staff, gluten free options available. Nice vibes.

Excellent service and hospitality from all the staff who seated and served us. It is a bit strange to have to wait to be seated but then you have to order at the bar - I'd personally prefer to have my order taken at the table. The restaurant has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and the real star of the show is the views. Especially after dark with the Torquay lights on display. Food was okay for the cost, cannot see it winning any awards, but was good enough. Sadly, for us - the ambient temperature was very very cold, which is to be expected in a room with that many windows in winter - if we return I think I'd rather give up the views in and sit in the main part of the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit!

I had sourdough bread with avocado and sun-dried tomatoes. Was okay, just little bit too much going on for my taste. Staff always friendly, and helpful,lovely sitting areas.

Not as good as any equivalent average pizza chain or takeaway, which was disappointing. Good location and the menu had the right idea, the reality was a disappointment. Googling some images of the food will make you wish they'd tried harder. Probably won't survive long...

Fabulous breakfast brunch, will return! Had pizza a few weeks ago! Best in the bay, fresh and delicious! Coffee fab too!

Nice relaxing place to sit with lovely views & friendly staff

Great Pizza, made even better by the cool 70's playlist Thanks Enice

Our second time coming to Otto when visiting Torquay and it didn't disappoint. Took the kids for pizza after a show at the Princess. Really friendly and accommodating staff, which is the backbone to an enjoyable experience. Pizzas were great, friendly waiter and manager and a nice chilled vibe about the place. Will certainly be back.

Visited this absolute gem for a business brunch meeting. There were 14 of us and the welcome was excellent. The table was set up perfectly for the group. Superb coffees arrived efficiently. And to the food - I had the Otto benedict with a side...

Nice place overview the harbour in Torquay. Lovely place but my partner and I went for a quick lunch and we ask the sandwiches on the counter. The lady took as both the sandwiches directly from the fridge. The dough it was going to be better if were warm up but it was dough from the day before so it was like eating something from days. They don't do pizza at lunch time.
