The best restaurants in Torbay South West

Went to Weavers Cottage today with my family to have a late celebration for my birthday. I had a high tea which was lovely and my family had other various items off the menu. All the food was lovely and beautifully served. The gentleman who was serving was very helpful and efficient and it was service with a smile. We are local to Torquay but it was our first time visiting Weavers cottage but it won’t be our last. Lovely outdoor setting that is covered with heaters and we even had a visit from a little robin on the back of one of our chairs. Lovely little lunch stop.

My wife and I are frequent visitors to Brixham and have used the owners other excellent eating and drinking places in the town. This was our first visit to Olive and did not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded expectations. My wife chose the Beef Stifado and it was absolutely delicious. I went for the Bottomless Brunch which is served from midday to 2.30p.m. I chose three small plates which is really a larger version of tapas and they were freshly prepared and delicious. But, the 'Bottomless' bit is the wine! From placing a food order, one gets a timer and 90 minutes during which time one can help one's self to a selection of very good quality white, red or rose wines to accompany ones food. This does not mean one has to rush the food - only the drinking is timed! Great food, great ambience, great wine. All this happened in warm, casual surroundings with the friendly help of Jennifer and Raphael on the day we visited. What more does one need! Why go to the mediterranean.

The food and the welcoming is just fantastic. There's such a beautiful ambience, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble and there's a wide variety of options for different dietary requirements. And the food itself? First class, cooked to perfection and served super fresh. A lovely selection of hot drinks and the top recommendation: eat in or take away a slice of cake - it's amazing, whatever type you plump for! Photo is of the vegan breakfast, minus the tomato (personal choice), plus extra hash brown and brown sauce. Sets you up for the day!

We had a lovely lunch last Sunday. Roast sirloin of beef with a huge Yorkshire pud ! Starters were fab, beetroot & pear with goats cheese & a prawn cocktail. Front of house staff were professional & friendly , we very much enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to all at Ollies !

Cute French bistro, efficient and friendly staff and consistently great food. We visit every time we find ourselves in Brixham.

arrived at 3:50. told last orders were at 4. Quickly tried to order coffee and cakes. Rudely told that the cakes had been moved to the kitchen and we could only have coffee.

This was our second trip to The Chart Room for afternoon tea. Our first visit was two years previously and I am delighted to say that standards are as high as ever. I booked afternoon tea for 1.30pm and when we arrived it has just been put out ready for us. As it was one of those days between Christmas and New Year there was still a festive feel to our table. We had crackers and a lovely card from the staff offering season's greetings. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and took our drinks order as soon as we were settled. Options include tea, coffee, hot chocolate, prosecco or champagne and in the winter, mulled wine. As a special festive treat we were offered a free tot of rum. If you have not visited before, it really is a great experience, The tables have maritime memorabilia from some of the great ocean liners under glass. Lots of mementoes are on the walls and every surface. A visit to the loo is accompanied by the soundtrack of a lifeboat drill from a cruise ship! No children under 12 are allowed, which may seem harsh but is understandable given the amount of collectables on every surface. Brixham is also a town where there are lots of other family dining options for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. As for the food itself, there were dainty cobs of ham and mustard, sandwiches of egg mayonnaise, beef, and cream cheese and cucumber. There were also two types of handmade savoury tarts. A garnish of grapes, lovely fresh, sliced baby tomatoes, rocket and a touch of salad dressing completed the plate. On the middle plate there were two scones, plentiful supplies of jam and cream, large, sweet fresh strawberries and two chocolate, coconut truffles. On the final plate were two pieces of homemade coffee cake, two mince pies. We could not quite finish it all. It's the most memorable afternoon tea I have ever had and I thoroughly recommend it.

Really nice independent cafe. Lovely atmosphere inside and seating out the front. The sweet cinnamon treat bagel was very tasty and my flat white was crafted really well (I'm pretty fussy when it comes to coffee). If you are looking for great coffee and food this place is definitely worth a visit.

We nearly missed you. What ravishing reviews! As is often the case had been meaning to visit this fab little café but it's taken a message on Facebook to learn you're moving on. Excellent toasties today, generous fillings and delicious. Great coffee. Clearly supported by locals and regulars. Doggy friendly and thankfully no plastic plants! That alone is worth a star. Lovely team. Best wishes for the future. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Yet another lovely breakfast here! We love it and it is our go to place for breakfast now! The food is so tasty and freshly prepared. We are lucky enough to have this gem on our doorstep but if you're visiting make sure you give it a try! They do take out too!

A great little restaurant with exceptional Thai food. It is a definite place to visit if you are staying in Brixham - although I would advise booking because it is so popular with tourists and locals alike.

Excellent meal, excellent value, the portions were very generous. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We will certainly be going back again.

The cafe no longer exists. Dont try to find it. there is no longer a Star cafe at the location. Enough said, surely? xxxxxxxxx

We had the best breakfast and lovely friendly service. Wonderful start to our day. Our dog enjoyed the visit too. Cosy place with amazing garden area to sit. Love it all! We will be back!

Best chicken, I liked the way how they served!! Recommended
