Torquay Restaurants - Our favourites


We are spoilt for choice with good restaurants in Torquay but it’s always worth booking ahead in the busy season to ensure that you get your preferred choices.  It is also worth noting that many restaurants in Torquay stop serving at around 9pm


Here are some of our personal favourites…

 

 

Within 10-minute walk from The Berburry

 

Mr Cook Steak and Grill house – varied menu including steaks and other grilled meats, fish, curry etc (less than 5 minutes-walk)

01803 209090

 

Chelston Manor – excellent pub food in a pub that generally caters more for local residents than tourists – a definite favourite of ours as the food is great and they have a fantastic beer garden with live music events (10 min walk up a little hill)

01803 411022

 

Indy Yang – Asian food with Indian and Thai influences.  Very tasty and beautifully presented.

01803 380060

 

 

Approx 15-minute walk

Torquay Harbour area

 

The main harbour area is about 20 mins walk (and its pretty flat) or 5 minutes in a taxi.  There are lots of choices there.  Here are a few recommendations but we would recommend booking in advance where possible:

 

Ottos – fantastic pizzas in an elevated position with great views across the harbour and a fantastic terrace to enjoy a drink in the sun. Otto do not take advance bookings so just turn up, but they do stop serving food by 9pm

Jun Jaow – Family-run Thai restaurant with an extensive menu including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options
