The best restaurants in Wellswood Torbay South West

I was pleasantly surprised by the Clipper....on the first view its a basic Seaside cafe, but once inside it turns out to be an excellent restaurant with good food, excellent coffee and a fine range of wines and spirits Outside seating has a superb view of the River Teign and Teignmouth back beach so beloved of generations of artists and photographers There is also inside seating upstairs with similar views The staff were friendly, fast and professional and I will happily recommend the clipper to anuone visiting Shaldon

Great food, friendly and attentive service . Reasonably priced menu with full array of Greek and Turkish cuisine . Very generous portion sizes.

Highly recommended. One of the best restaurants in Torbay, and more affordable than some of similar standard. Once again we had an excellent meal, very tasty and well presented. Service was perfect: slick, professional and friendly. It's a lovely restaurant, cosy and welcoming, fresh and clean. Vittorio and Tatjana were very helpful in advising on, and amending, dishes for me - gluten free but also with other intolerances.

As long standing local residents in Torquay, we are privileged to have two outstanding Italian restaurants - Amici and sister restaurant Biancos, where we regularly enjoy the excellent food, ambience and service, especially on special occasions. On 21st September my husband and I celebrated my Birthday at Amici at lunchtime. It has to be said that the food quality and attentive service was outstanding and made my day even more special. Amici's food quality is always excellent, but our expectations were exceeded by the Owner Mauro facilitating off-menu pre-order steaks, prepared and cooked to perfection by the Amici Chef. Both Amici's and Bianco's continue to maintain the highest possible standards of ingredients, creative and authentic cookery, excellent wine list and attentive and friendly service and, above all, a great meal!

My partner and I decided to go out for a little treat night and stumbled across this place by pure chance. We were staying locally and decided that we’d give it a go since we were both big American food enthusiasts. We were greeted, the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant by a wonderful member of staff who took us to our seat and offered us drinks right away. A very short wait later, she returned with our drinks and ready to take our order for food. It was exceptionally quick service and done with a pleasant smile! The gentleman behind the bar was also, incredibly kind and helpful. The food was some of the best American style food that I’ve ever had and it was backed up with some brilliant choices of genre songs which suited the bar/restaurant through and through. All in all, the service was incredible and the food was absolutely phenomenal! If we are ever in the area again, we’ll be sure to stop by. Totally worth the time and money and would certainly recommend this to anyone!

Great tasting food, great service, reasonably priced, and no feeling of being rushed to eat and leave, like some other establishments, JUNJAOW is definitely on my return to list

A lovely authentic restaurant to celebrate my husband’s 40th. So inviting and the food was spot on. They catered so well to young children too.

Went with my Mrs for a bottomless brunch. It was the best, the pizza and pancakes were amazing. Libby served up from start to finish. She was brilliant. Definitely recommend it, totally worth the money.

Our recent stay at Lincombe Hall Hotel & Spa was unfortunately overshadowed by a disappointing and awkward dining experience. We were handed a menu that displayed prices, but there was no clear explanation of whether our dinner was included in our package or how additional charges would apply. We had to ask our server, who confirmed that dinner was indeed included. After finishing our meal, we headed back to our room, thinking all was settled. However, shortly after, a staff member knocked on our door, stating that we had left without paying. This intrusion felt unnecessary and uncomfortable, particularly as they could have simply addressed it at checkout. Initially, the waiter informed us we owed £120 for the dinner. He then went back and checked with the manager and said that we owed £30 for a sauce and steak addition—something that could have been clarified in advance. After spending £450 for our stay, this experience felt rude and unprofessional. A hotel of this caliber should be able to handle minor charges discreetly, without making guests feel accused. Sadly, we left with a poor impression of the service. Not what we expected, and a shame given the reputation of the place. We certainly had a far better experience in July 2022 where the place, the service and the politeness of the staff left us astonished. But I'm sorry, after the last experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. 1 star.

Beautiful food - very fresh and good choice on the specials menu. The atmosphere was nice and I liked the seating area outside with the pretty flowers. The staff are very friendly and would recommend :)

Fabulous bottomless brunch - classy x

Popped in for some eats plus coffee both very nice and well presented. Someone got up from the table and a middle age man, manager? Cleaned the tables down plus the chairs and cleaned floor. Next table free the youngster wiped the table with a Z action and walked off done the same with the next. It shows these youngsters do need managing to learn wherever they are.

Had a lovely meal here while on holiday. Food presentation and taste was exemplary. Staff very accommodating as we hadn't booked and the view of the harbour charming. Couldn't fault it.

When you say it sound a to good to be true there is normally a catch but not in this case. We were greeted by Linda who showed us our room and where the restaurant and bar were. On arrival given a cream scone and tea and sat in the well kept gardens and enjoyed the peacefulness and views. Dinner on both evenings was exceptional as was the breakfast, never been to a hotel with so much choice on a breakfast menu. Not only was the food and accommodation included in the price but on both evenings we had first class entertainment from the singer to the all round enterer who had everyone in stitches. A big shout out to all staff that made our stay really enjoyable .

Just local cafe with a little for everyone. Menu small,but usually that is all you want anyway after a 45 min talk and a walk in woods. Very fairly priced for the day out food
