The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Torbay South West

This was our first visit to Crusoes. We hadn't ever heard of it so maybe needs some extra work on advertising and social media. The interior is lovely and has a wonderful view of the harbour. The menu is small but is a good thing as far as I am concerned as everything is freshly prepared and cooked by chef Gary. We all had the crab and prawn linguine which was really tasty. Friendly service and good food led to a lovely evening with friends

This is our favourite fish restaurant in the world. When we visit Torquay we always visit & mine host, Paul, always pleasant, friendly & helpful. Ambiance is great with a cosy upstairs wine bar for pre dinner drinks. It’s all about the food though & where fish is concerned nowhere better. We’ve been dining there since 2009 & can’t recommend too highly. As the review title says “never disappoints”

We come here once a year on our annual trip to this area, and have always felt it is the best fish and chips we've had. This time, however, was really disappointing. I don't know if the management/chef has changed, but the grilled fish was reported very bland, when in previous years, it had been a perfectly cooked delight, the two fried fish and chips were reported good, but not great, but the real disaster was the vegan burger- now, I know this a fish restaurant, but, people obviously go here with people who are vegetarian- there was one single vegie option, which was this burger, so I took it and it was awful; the weirdest patties I have ever tasted, plus a bun toasted so rock hard it was inedible. The chips and onion ring were good though. It's a shame, in previous years there have been several veggie options, including a really good curry and halloumi, etc. Overall , the whole menu appears to have gone downhill and at close to £20 for fish and chips, you'd expect better.

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.

Best fish and chips I’ve had for a while. Don’t normally eat the batter, but it was so light and crispy. Lovely music playing too!

Great view, great brew. Didn't try the loo

The restaurant is lovely and the staff are attentive and polite. Lovely views overlooking the harbour. The menu has a great choice of food and drinks. We booked for a romantic dining evening as the restaurant is known and recommend for being special and serving lovely fish dishes. We were excited to go, the food was lovely, however they served the appetisers with the starter and allowed only 5mins on finishing the appetiser and starter before bringing the main dish. We arrived at 19:30 and had eaten by 20:10. To which at 20:15 we were asked if we wanted dessert. This was really disappointing as it felt like we were in a fast food place and this ruined the meal and the experience. For the amount you pay and the effort and the quality of the food, there needs to be better time management. Unfortunately this has put us off returning.

Amazing little resturant Excellent food Chef and the team cooked to perfection In our group we had for starters Chowder , Fish soup . Mains Brill , Bream fish shared garlic potatoes bacon and cabbage and seafood pasta all amazing Too full for desert 🤣 Excellent service from Katie Will definitely go back Mrs M

Good food too many chips for medium size.

Lovely relaxed restaurant with friendly attentive staff, who were quick to serve us drinks even though it was almost full. I've not had scallops in ages and was glad to order them for my main - yum! Lovely local white wine too - I recommend you try.

We bought 2 tubs of jellied ells just before closing time and took them away to eat. They tasted and smelt awful and were thrown away. We returned the following day and explained what had happened but were not offered an apology or refund from the young lady who served us. It is important to note that things do go wrong occasionally, but the moment of truth is defined by how the matter is dealt with. This was very poor and unacceptable. We suggest that your customer service is improved radically, and your supplier is questioned. We note that it states on the tub that they must be stored at a constant 1 to 4 degrees centigrade

We were looking for a fish and chips shop in the Torre area and found this one. Staff friendly, they cook to order and it's shown in the taste - the fish and chips are excellent. Chips are battered and taste great; fish nice and chunky. Very reasonable price, highly recommend.

Trying desperately to get a reservation however the phone number just says the number you have called is not in service the Facebook page has no contact info and the website doesn't work, anyone got any help? Been trying to go here every time we visit the area for holiday really thought this year we would be lucky if we booked before we went but can't get in contact?

Excellent service and excellent food 👌

Amazing fish and chips, curry sauce is to die for, the girls work hard and are lovely. This is the best fish and chip shop nn the bay and bonus is it's reasonably priced.My go to local, keep up the good work 👍
