Pier Point Torquay

Sea Views

There's nothing quite like dining by the sea. From casual beachside cafés to evening meals with the whole family, it just tastes better when you have views of the sea and the English Riviera can offer just that with stunning sea views across Devon's Beautiful Bay.

Across Torbay including Torquay, Babbacombe, Paignton and Brixham you will be spoilt for choice with an abundance of sea view and waterfront restaurants, with many providing outdoor seating areas to take advantage of their fantastic waterfront locations. We strongly recommend that you book a table in the busy periods and at weekends.

Sea View and Waterfront Restaurants Torquay

Abbey Sands is developing a reputation as Torquay’s smart new dining quarter. Located opposite Torre Abbey Sands beach, you can sit outside and enjoy the wonderful sea views as you dine on popular classics at Bistrot Pierre. Or sample fiery authentic Latin American heat, with music and cocktails to match, at Las Iguanas next door. Right next door On the Rocks is also a very popular smaller restaurant, serving local fish and seafood as well as amazing local steaks.

Further along Torquay promenade you will come to Pier Point restaurant, famous for its unicorn cocktails, afternoon teas and great evening menu too, with Torquay Harbour also providing a choice of waterfront eateries including Harbour Kitchen, Rockfish, Number 7, Below Decks and The Elephant (Torquay’s only Michelin star restaurant)

Or how about a front row seat watching the sun rise or set over Torquay Marina. Head for Below Decks for a great meal as you watch the marine world go by. Many of the English Riviera’s hotels boast splendid terraces with great views for a leisurely meal outside. The Imperial, the Grand and the Livermead Cliff Hotel command stunning views across the bay from their terraces. The Headland Hotel, once the summer home of the Russian royal family, has a beautiful terrace for dining with stunning sea views.

Sea View and Waterfront Restaurants Bababcombe

Babbacombe Downs also boasts some of the best restaurants with outside tables looking out over Lyme Bay including Cary Arms offering an award-winning restaurant and Three Degrees West situated right on the beach.

Sea View and Waterfront Restaurants in Brixham

Rockfish at Brixham offers 180-degree views over the harbour and fish quay where you can watch the fishing trawlers unload their catch. Not surprisingly it offers an extensive fish menu with a lively atmosphere. For some of the best panoramic sea views of the bay, Brixham’s Berry Head Hotel takes some beating. It’s a great place for lunch, evening dinner or a Sunday roast served out on the terrace with panoramic sea views across Torbay. A warm welcome also awaits you at the newly opened Shoalstone Coastal Cafe/Restaurant where the views from the tables are simply astounding. And if you enjoy a coastal walk before supper then why not head up to the award-winning Guardhouse Café who on selected nights through the year serve up some wonderful themed menus.
