Three Degrees West in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was very nice, setting was like being abroad.

Had a great family meal here last week. Food was spot on and the lady was very accommodating. Her service made the difference.

Very disappointing, arrive as a family of four for a meal. Was advised there be a short delay for a table which was not an issue. However, when my wife asked to use the lavatory whilst we waited they responded no, not until you are seated and suggested we go and pay at the public toilets. Their loss we went somewhere else for four meals. Obviously they are NOT customer focused

We went down for breakfast to watch the kids paddle boarding and stayed for lunch. Couldn't have been looked after any better. Absolutely lovely morning.

Peaceful breakfast looking directly at the sea. So refreshing and calming

We stoped for lunch while we were at the beach and we were seated at table 7 bye a polite worker.The inside was pretty and clean the outside was umbrella covered with tables and chairs the great view of the sea and waves it was a perfect lunch for after a swim.

Always a favourite destination when we have guests staying. A warm welcome from Alan who leads from the front. Charming team. Absolutely beautiful location. An excellent breakfast today. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

It's probably the most expensive place I've ever eaten at with this quality of food. We paid about £55 for two burgers, haloumi bites and coffee. Haloumi - fried flattened sticks of cheese with a primitive hot sauce. Cheese burger - charcoal grilled meat with a small piece of cheese, a small tomato, without any sauces inside and on a regular unbaked bun. Chicken burger - all the same, only instead of minced meat there was chicken fried in old oil. Coffee was okay. No parking. So many people. Staff was so polite.

Wonderful place by the sea ❤️ Mark,Alan,Laura and all the team are fantastic! Food delicious, we had tapas and prawn salads was delicious. Very attentive staff despite being very busy and dealing with very rude customers on another table who like us had ordered a lot of beautiful dishes and had to wait a short while, in this beautiful setting! The staff handled it brilliantly as the woman was making a spectacle! Didn’t spoil our lunch! We will be back❤️

What a great evening, perfect service, perfect atmosphere and most of all perfect food oh and a great view to top it all off.

The restaurant has fine dining Friday and Saturday evenings, we were made to feel so welcome, drinks by the beach with sunset and superb views as an aperitif. The meal itself was cooked and presented so beautifully, and was very tasty! The staff were so attentive and nothing too much trouble, will definitely booking again when next in Devon, thank you!

We stopped here for a code and cake before we came back up in the Cliff tram. We had to stand and wait to be seated not a problem. How ever we were rushed to choose what we wanted, waitress told us what cake they had. So we choose our cakes. Tiramisu was my choice my dreams had Eton mess there was no meringue it is and it was quite sickly. We were pestered to pay them I went to the toilet and when I came out my friend had moved because Services had put Preston her to move.

We visited on a miserable, rainy day and enjoyed a wonderful lunch on the covered beachside terrace. Both the sea bass and the scampi were excellent and we couldn't resist dessert! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended

I love this place , The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and helpful , very very clean and located in the amazing Oddicombe beach , This place is a hidden Gem , if you haven’t been then go

We always go for a bite to eat when visiting the Torquay area

Couldn't fault this place whatsoever. Food was amazing, staff were friendly checking if we were all okay, cafe is stunning inside aswell as having a lovely outdoor seating area with a gorgeous view. If I could give them another 5 stars for their hygiene I definitely would, it was just so fresh and clean inside. We'll definitely be visiting again very soon, keep up the good work guys 🙂

Lovely restaurant on the beach, great place to sit and eat and watch the waves. Food was very good. Service was great, didn't have to wait for a seat either.

I recently visited Three Degrees West in Torquay and had a disappointing experience. The coffee was awful and watery, especially considering they charge Starbucks prices. To top it off, the breakfast was subpar, reminiscent of a bad all-inclusive spread at a two star in Benidorm. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to others.

Wow... just wow!!!! I love love this cafe/restaurant. I am local, but my family have travelled down to visit, so I showed them one of our hidden gems. They feel in love with it, too

We have just returned from an extended break and this our favourite place for breakfast / brunch. There were a few days where the weather wasn’t great so we booked an inside table. Alan was brilliant and looked after us very well and an asset to the team. He even managed to get our friend's dog to take a treat off him when she’s normally not friendly with people wearing red as it reminds her of a postman !! We were never made to rush during a busy lunchtime whilst people were waiting for tables. I can’t recommend 3 degrees enough for food, drink and service. It’s such a beautiful setting which makes you feel like you’re abroad. We will be back next year 😊

Food is good on the most part but menu etc.. could be improved. Service is good and location is great in the mornings.

Mahou on draught.... No need to say more

Exactly how and where you should start your day😃☕️☀️🌊 very good food and service, and the view is spectacular😎

An absolute gem of a place to visit, fantastic breakfasts.the eggs Benedict are highly recommended. Staff very friendly and always had a treat for the dog but the views make you feel like you are anywhere in the world. If you are in the area then take the walk down the hill or use the furniculor tram.

Great views of Babbacombe and reasonably priced for nice food.

Great views and can play on the pebble beach

My favorite place and beach in Torquay. A great place to relax with a glass of beer or gin. You can slowly sip your drink while looking at the rippling water. You can also eat something tasty.

Thoroughly enjoyable despite the cold wind.(We sat outside)

TDW is like no other cafe we have ever been to before. The hard sell comes first, no thanks can we just have drinks please. Next the bill arrives for you to view and then a few minutes later out comes the card machine. Then the coffee you ordered arrives. They must have had a spate of some fairly fit bilkers recently, who can quickly make off up the steep hill without paying!

Absolutely amazing place,we had the first officers breakfast,beans are served separately in a little dish that fits on your plate,our server Alan was so welcoming,opened the door for us,seated us next to the window so we had great sea view,service was fast,friendly. Food was excellent,hot,tasty and just the whole experience was just awesome. We shall be back for tapas and a few cheeky drinks. Thankyou Alan your a real credit to the business. I highly recommend that if your in south devon go to babacombe for the day and go down to oddicombe Bay,which can be reached by walking down steep incline if your fit or by the cliff railway or by driving down if you have a blue badge. And definitely visit THE THREE DEGREES WEST cafe,bar. They also cater for takeaway teas,coffees,ice cream etc.👏👏👏😁

Nice cafe right on the beach. Not dog-friendly inside unfortunately, and strangely I don't think they have loos although there is a pay-per-use public one nearby.

My partner and I went to have breakfast here this morning. The place is right on the seaside. I really enjoyed my Millionaire breakfast. I had poach eggs with salmon and hollandaise sauce. My partner instead didn't like much his vegetarian breakfast. The bean were dry and cold. The plate was overload of food and he found difficult to eat with that little plate. In other side a lady come straight way to take our orders and 5 min after we had already our drinks.

Lovely team of professional staff, serving great food & drinks in an unbeatable location. You can't go wrong & you won't be disappointed.x

Had a great lunch in a lovely setting looking over the beach to sea.. perfect! The staff are so friendly and helpful and they make you feel welcome. Now a new favourite of ours and on a hot sunny day it must be amazing!

I would highly recommend this place , the food was fresh, we had sea bass , the view at this restaurant is spectacular.

A really welcome cheery place. Limited tables on the sea facing deck today that are for food orders only (despite people feeding kids home made sandwiches etc). Takeaway drinks available although seating is not provided. Other options available along the prom. Restaurant isn't open in the evenings apparently yet although the menu looks straight forward enough and will be a place to visit in due course. Food served until 3 pm at the moment. Coffee good and hot. Very up beat place that looks modern and smart with pleasant and currently cheerful staff. Well worth a visit to see what you think. Fabulous views of course of the bay with resident seal making a guest appearance

Had great fish lunch sea bass, very prompt service all four had a great experience this was yesterday well worth a visit booking in the summer highly recommended.

Lovely Sunday toast and to follow lemon sorbet yummy 😋

Friendly staff and very accommodating. Love it here and would definitely return. Thanks!!

Had a lovely Christmas meal with friends. Excellent food and generous portions.

The setting really makes this venue, with views out over Torbay, but that in itself would not be quite enough were it not for the fact that it is also well run. Everything is very clean and tidy, the food is perfectly reasonable, and service is attentive and charming, especially if you're lucky enough to get the lovely waitress Laura.

Always a pleasure to visit. Great location, spectacular at any time of the year.

Amazing location on the beach. Was a busy lunchtime and the outdoor area is "first come first serve" so we queued for a short while. No problem, seemed popular, looked like a good menu. Unfortunately the food was not good. My burger was just a patty in a bun with one slice of tomato. Tasteless. I put some of the side salad in it with ketchup and mustard, which made it taste of something at least... but that's not what I'm looking for when I spend £15 on a burger. My partner had a different burger and said it was also disappointing. Service was pretty indifferent.

Excellent scenery, described by staff modestly as "a pretty good office view" XD, it's open all year!, and reachable by the cliff railway which is also very unique and convenient. I only bought an earl grey tea and go for the double biscuits, as the oat one really tasty it's crumbly and sweet perfect with the cuppa. I went in October time when things are more chilled and could just listen to sounds of the sea. I'd walked 8 miles from Teignmouth down the coast path, and oddicombe bay, for me is the best beach of them all from that start point.

Called in for a tea after a walk from another beach , served by a very friendly lady, then went on the cliff railway and returned later for a pint , again served by two very nice ladies, I asked for some biscuits and was told to go and choose them at the bar which I did, intending to leave them to come with our drinks as it was table service only, then told off by a very grumpy guy for doing so , “ it’s table service only “ I know,I was asked to choose my biscuits, . Very poor attitude to paying customers , especially at £6 a pint

Fantastic location! Modern and so clean lovely friendly atmosphere and food. Many thanks to our lovely waitress who I didn’t get the name of but she had brown hair bob. Really lovely lady who was so efficient. Food was great too! Overall great experience we can’t wait to visit again!

Hidden gem. Beautifully decorated inside. Very convenient for the beach. Nicer than many waterfront cafes.

If you like a lunch in a really chilled-out atmosphere then don't let the prices here put you off because you won't be disappointed. The portion sizes here, even of the sandwich dishes, really do mitigate the bill to a large extent! We had lunch here three times in the space of ten days and we can thoroughly recommend the burger dishes and the sandwiches. We're not strangers to Babbacombe but had never tried this place before, but we will definitely be dropping by again next time we're there.

Love this place, we had a week away and came 3 times. Service is lovely 😍

We had a private leaving party for my daughter here. The buffet was of exceptional quality, The staff were efficient and really friendly. The location, view and atmosphere were amazing! I cannot recommend enough!

Excellent restaurant/bar. We had two cold ginger ales here which were very welcome on an unusually hot day in September .

Lovely tapas _ sizzling garlic prawns and Aracini. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. Will be back soon.

Best breakfast ever, stunning location.

Lovely place ,nice view just right when u finished a nice walk a wide selection of food you suit all

Amazing location, staff, service, food was delicious & great value for money. Thexswim afterwards topped the experience & will be back.

Well, we had a lovely afternoon on the beach and took a picnic down with us and a few soft drinks and beers... Great, there was a cafe/restaurant/bar right on the beach! So, I felt it was only right to spend a bit of money there, I would get drinks from the bar, just to help keep local businesses going (After all it's been a rubbish summer up to now). So, decided to pop into the bar, where there were two ladies stood behind the bar ready to serve and great, no queue! I requested a beer, only to be told that it was table service!Okay, but we're sat on the steps at the top of the beach, so I would be happy with plastic containers... "No, you have to go to the takeaway" (Which was adjoining). Right, but there was a massive queue of people wanting to buy icecreams and takeaway food! Not to want to cause a fuss, I went and stood in the queue... for 15 minutes... and listening to people sat down at the tables, one chap in particular complaining that the queue, which was across the front of all the tables and was blocking his view of the beach/sea! (Also heard people mention that it was under new management)... Finally got to the front, after everyone else had received their icecream and take away burgers and got served a pint of lager (which was decent). While being poured in the plastic glass, I asked if it would be okay to have it refilled in the bar after, rather than stand in the icecream queue again, now that I've got my plastic glass? "No, you have to come back here"! Looking behind me at this point, the queue had doubled, there must have been 30 people waiting! Anyway, after paying 6 pounds for a pint, I decided not to purchase any further drinks and we would make do with the beer and drinks in the cool box! So, I guess the moral of this long and boring story, is to take your own drinks to this beach (which we did) and don't worry about local business, as they are happy having staff stood around, refusing to take your money (but no doubt it's down to a half soaked manager)!

Barracombe beach is a hidden gem, but equally was Three Degrees West. Tapas food was amazing quality, service was exceptional. Lovely sitting area overlooking the beach which added to the experience. Well worth a visit

We had a friend visiting from Australia and here for her birthday. We needed somewhere that would be a great location, great food, not rushed and good service at a reasonable price. We got all that, We forgot to ask the name of our main server but she was excellent, attentive enough that we never had to wait for anything we'd asked for but not in your face. The food was great we all enjoyed the arancini as one of our starters. We were there for about two and a. half hours of relaxed enjoyable lunch out. Many many thanks!

Great staff, location second to none.

Very poor service and food is beyond overpriced. Salads were watery and pasta tasted like it had been reheated, staff were inexperienced and completely unapologetic about the endless delays, wrong orders and poor quality food. Certainly won't be back.

Three Degrees West is the only cafe on the beach and after a long walk down it’s your only option for lunch. The cafe has extremely poor service despite having about 6 people waiting on about 15 tables. Most of the staff appear to be teens. We waited for about 20 mins for a table, despite the whole of the inside of the cafe being completely empty. When we eventually got a table, we were a family of 7 so asked to put 2 tables together so we could sit together. Despite 2 tables next to each other being free we were told this was not allowed, so we had to sit apart or wait another 20 mins for the only table in the place that was allowed to be pushed together to become free. Trying to order food and drinks was challenging - whenever we did manage to get someone’s attention we were told they couldn’t serve us because it wasn’t their section. Food took about 45 mins to come. Not ideal with small children. When it did come one of our meals was missing so we had to wait another 20 mins for that to come. Pasta was on a par with a supermarket ready meal. Salad wasnt much better. This was disappointing because it’s quite pricey given its a cafe. Generally felt the attitude of staff was poor, it was like cant you see we are busy rather than an apology for the bad service. This place must be busy most days so it’s unclear why they have not found a way to manage the cafe properly. Overall I would avoid, avoid, avoid.

Have been to this beach a few times but this was our first time trying this cafe and it won’t be our last. Plenty of choice on the menu, not the cheapest but huge portions so worth the money, we had tuna sandwiches and a ham salad wrap which came with a huge amount of crisps, lovely coleslaw and a side salad. quick friendly service, great food and great views what more could you ask for.

Been here several times. The food is lovely and great service. It can get extremely busy and you may have to queue to get a seat in good weather. Possibly booking could be a good idea. They do an excellent Pimms and lemonade.

Great restaurant looking out on the bay. We had the sea bass while watching a dolphin, paddle boarders and pedals go by. The fish was really tasty.

Lovely restaurant right on the beach, with inside and terrace dining.

Extremely poor service - waited very politely - 4 families were allowed to go ahead of us. At no point did the staff ask if we were waiting. When we were allowed to sit, another family pushed in front of us. The staff member very rudely said ‘go sit over there’. I called and the same staff member challenge me to speak with the manager. Finally when I was allowed to speak to the manager. No apology was insinuated and was more frustrated with the call. The food looks average and is frozen then fried, didn’t look fresh. We will take a packed lunch next time. Or at eat at the many places at the top of hill before coming down all the way. AVOID.

My first visit via the Cliff Railway. Lovely staff, excellent service, a fantastic high quality breakfast in a stunning location, looking forward to my next visit!

Stunning location on Oddicombe Beach. New canopy providing a huge asset for shelter from sun or rain. Lovely crew, unpretentious café food. New sign in the loos promoting venue for weddings, Christmas parties and birthdays. Mark, why not add "closing parties."🇬🇧🇳🇿

Outdoor deck with an amazing view

Excellent food and drink, fabulous prime location right next to the beach. Take the Cliff Railway down to the beach - an experience in itself.

We had a lovely tapas meal at this beach bar restaurant with lovely flavoursome food friendly staff in a fabulous location

We visited for breakfast, coffee and food were great, the view is wonderful and friendly staff.

Wonderful food but definitely dine in rather than take out as food took a while to arrive and is quite expensive: £4 for a portion of chips!

No exaggeration, this cafe/restaurant must have the best and most scenic location, on all of the south coast of England. Couple that with great food and service (Ryan), and you have a must attend establishment. The suspension of the funicular railway that would normally take...

They microwaved the scones. Who microwaves scones? Scalding sultanas embedded in damp steaming scone. All served with a tiny plastic pot of rubbish jam, and no butter. Really, really disappointing. Also: a flat white is supposed to be a small cup of strong coffee, not...

I visited this place recently with family and had a really lovely lunch right next to the sea sitting outside on a table. Fantastic location and will try to visit more regularly as I want to see this gem continue :)

Great place to eat and drink and the staff are brilliant well done all.

What an amazing place! We came for a birthday occasion and enjoyed a fabulous lunch. The tapas were so tasty & fresh (garlic prawns & chicken croquettes delicious!), the sandwiches were equally delicious and substantial. The service was very professional yet relaxed and friendly. Three...

Set on the beautiful Gem that is Oddicombe beach. We were served quickly and with no hassle. The Captains Breakfast was nice as was the eggs benedict. Good views and tidy eating area. Staff done well given how busy it got in the lunch hour. Very good day out. All be it I'm a little sun burnt.

Schöner Platz zum Verweilen am Ärmelkanal, Babbacome, Restauration bis 15.00 geöffnet.

Fantastic view of the sea ,right on the beach side. Lovely tapas, friendly helpful staff Inc the guy who was running the shuttle bus. Thanks for a memorable afternoon.

We had a lovely lunch and drinks sitting outside. Friendly service, fast and pricing ok. It was a beautiful day and we were able to sit right by the beach.

Great location for a breakfast relaxing by the sea. The friendly staff are lovely! I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic weather and how better to enjoy it, then to have breakfast overlooking the beach. We had been recommended the Three Degrees West Cafe/Bistro by a couple we got talking to on our first evening on Babbacombe. So we thought we would venture down the...

We had a family get together for my father-in - laws 90th birthday.Mark and his team but together an amazing buffet the food service and location was faultless ,definitely recommend it for any kind off occasion a perfect day Thankyou Mark,Laura and team xx

What a fabulous spot to eat lunch. Caught the free shuttle bus from the top of the hill to the beach. Fantastic atmosphere and really friendly efficient staff.

What a venue great service great food so well worth a visit. Made us feel so welcome nothing was too much trouble and catered for every taste.

Very attentive staff, clean and great food. Views amazing too

Only had iced coffe. Jimmy's apparenty. They obviously don't know how to make it. Lovely situation poor iced coffee

Poor quality, high prices. Coffee was awful... weak and really lacking flavour. Much better quality if you take the walk over to babbacombe beach... lovely little kiosk high quality and cheaper

Lovely breakfast again at this beautiful beach front location. Looked after by lovely Laura. New canopy to see off the rain or if you're lucky the sunshine. The Cliff Rail is currently out action but the café has put on a bus service for those...

Sehr schön gelegen direkt am Strand. Das Personal war sehr freundlich so das man sich sofort heimisch gefühlt hat. Meinem Nudel Gericht fehlte ein wenig die Würze aber ansonsten kann ich es empfehlen.

Nice atmosphere, great views sitting outside on a sunny day over looking the beach. Clean and fresh interior

Superb hot chocolate and cake to warm us up and fortify us for a climb up the hill!

Really nice cafe with a perfect view looking out on to the water. Weather wasn't very nice on visit but the interior of cafe made it feel cozy looking out. Staff are really friendly and the hot chocolates and toast tea cake tastes great. I live in Dorset but when I visit sister in torquay I'll definitely be returning :)

Ham, eggs and chips was excellent!

Part of a group of 10 so pre-ordered our food (as requested by cafe) but still food arrived 45 mins late! Food when it arrived was nicely presented and well cooked. Veggie breakfast was good apart from the vegetarian 'bacon' which was awful. Cafe was...

It's usually a challenge for chef to make a minor change to the menu. Taking a chance I asked for the bacon butty from the menu with extra mushrooms. Will he or won't he? On a knife edge, I awaited in eager anticipation. Our regular...

I had the pleasure of hosting a hoteliers Ladies lunch at Three Degrees West, Oddicombe Beach, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious - freshly cooked to order using local ingredients which were well presented. The service was faultless and nothing was too...

We walked through the woods and along the beach on a sunny November Sunday, stopped at the beautiful beach side restaurant and sat outside for a drink. Our very friendly waiter offered us food but we explained that we had somewhere else booked at 3pm...
