From Pizza To Michelin Star
Torquay and the surrounding areas of Brixham, Babbacombe and beyond have a wealth of eateries to suit all tastes. Whether it's fine dining or fish and chips out of the paper there's something for everyone. We are happy to suggest places and have listed a few of our favorites and others.
We would recommend advance reservation to avoid disappointment, especially at weekends, bank holidays and the summer months.
“If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?”
― Jamie Oliver
