The best restaurants in Torbay South West

I’ve had a craving for good fish and chips for a long time. My search in Torquay has been somewhat disappointing, until now! It was nice to meet polite staff at the counter, that immediately set a great vibe of what was to come. Freshly cooked fish and chips looked extremely appetising over the counter and it was great to see each fish given a quality control inspection before it was packaged. The food tasted awesome, 5* is not enough. This place is bursting with pride, the food is loved and this proactive approach sets Crusos apart from the rest.

This was our first visit to the relocated restaurant with friends We had a lovely evening with all round friendly service and atmosphere with gorgeous food and drink highly recommended indeed👍

Excellent service and delicious food 😊👍

Went there for a drink and and an ice cream, view, amazing,staff amazing ❤️ booked our last evening meal there, so lovely and accommodating for my mum (early onset of dementia) perfect 😊

Awesome cakes. And very generous tea.

Fantastic food with great service in a nice setting. Hope to be back soon!

The food in TJ's is fantastic, super fresh seafood was cooked perfectly. The view over the harbour with the pier in the background is a winner. Helen our host could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be coming back here next time we are in Paignton.

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.

What a gem! There’s many of places to choose from. We choose this and so glad we did. Excellent food, good prices. Friendly staff snd great service 👍

Good food, great selection of drinks. Friendly staff, dog friendly. One of my favourite pubs in Paignton.

Been coming here years and always great service and food. It's our go to family favourite pub.

Attentive and kind staff in a perfect location, but some key things fall short of a 5* experience at £300/night (and feel more like a budget hotel): 1) Room: Well furnished and designed, but the pillows are uncomfortable clumpy synthetic filling and the towels cheap and thin. 2) Breakfast: Very mediocre, no fresh vegetables and limited you to one “warm” dish per person (so you can’t have eggs AND pancakes, only one of the two, god forbid you want both!) 3) Spa: Hotel guests can only enter the spa free of charge between 8-10am and 7-9pm (the least convenient hours, when you want to have a meal!)

A nice gem overlooking the harbour open all year round with a great atmosphere and staff who are friendly And professional. There is live music on occasion which is always good. Quality are very welcome and evening there is a fantastic vibe.

Lovely view and fantastic service. great start to our holiday and the coffee was spectacular. will definitely visit again before the week ends.

Superb cuisine in a lovely cosy setting. The steaks are mouthwatering and well presented. Great selection. Friendly staff who are eager to please. Definitely worth repeat visits.
