Places to Eat Paignton

From locally caught seafood to traditional Nepalese cuisine, you’ll find something to suit every taste and budget in Paignton. Forget about the washing up, and treat yourself to a meal out.

Where to eat in Paignton by the beach

Soft sand and a gently shelving sea draws the crowds to Paignton beaches. Luckily you won’t have to give up your spot in the sun when it comes to lunchtime. You’ll find handy beach kiosks serving snacks right beside the beaches, including Preston Beach and Broadsands. If you’re still at Goodrington Beach at the end of the day, give The View at Goodrington a try. This laid back restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating and serves favourites including pizza and pasta. And there’s no need to dress for dinner – flip-flops are welcome!

Places to eat in Paignton for locally-grown, home-made food

With the sea and rolling Devon hills on its doorstep, Paignton has no shortage of delicious, locally grown food. Head to Occombe Farm Café for snacks and lunches made from local produce for an authentic taste of Devon. Or grab a takeaway to enjoy as a picnic when you’re out and about.

If you love seafood, you’ll love the freshness of fish and shellfish landed just across Torbay in Brixham. Enjoy the local catch of the day at The Boathouse Paignton. This bright and modern restaurant is located beside Preston Beach with views from the terrace stretching from Thatcher’s Rock in Torquay to Berry Head. You might even spot one of the fishing boats bringing in the next haul of delicious fish ready for tomorrows menu.

Vintage-style high tea

Paignton enjoys a real vintage vibe. Hop on board the Dartmouth Steam Railway at the station in the town. You can continue the vintage theme with afternoon tea at Paignton’s Cupcake Café. This boutique café offers a fine selection of homemade cakes and scones in cosy surroundings. Or try Victorian Times, a traditional tea and coffee shop in the heart of Paignton. Loose-leaf tea is served in pots with china cups and saucers, just like the old days, and there’s a delicious selection of scones and cakes to tempt you too.

Paignton restaurants for kids

Great beaches and plenty of things to see and do have made Paignton a real favourite for families on holiday. And there’s just as much choice when it comes to finding somewhere to eat to suit all ages. Many of our pubs and restaurants offer children’s menus, so you can be sure there will be something to tempt them and it won’t cost a fortune.

Just a few steps from Paignton Zoo, you’ll find Noah’s Ark. This child-friendly restaurant is just the place to feed your little monkeys. And with a 14ft screen and three flat screen TVs screening the football, it’s also the place for sports fans.

Tastes from around the world

As rich and varied as the entertainment in Paignton, you can also eat your way around the world at Paignton restaurants. Spanish Tapas gets an English twist at Restaurant 59. Sample the heights of Nepalese cooking at the family-run Nepalese Gurkha. Or savour Italian and Mediterranean cooking at its best at La Scala.

Whatever your taste, search restaurants in Paignton to find your perfect dining experience.
