Choosing the right place to eat on your holiday or when you are new to an area can seem like an impossible task. After all you're investing time and money into something that you want to be a great experience for everyone, whether it's for the whole family or just you and a loved one.

Don't trawl through TripAdvisor or Instagram just read on to find exactly what you're looking for. We've got every culinary corner of the English Riviera catered for, from organic treats at Occombe Farm to the freshest seafood at Rockfish. From a tapas cafe in Paignton to Michelin Guide dining in Torquay.

The English Riviera isn't just home to some great bar and restaurant options, we also have a number of award-winning producers right on our door step as well. These guys are demonstrating real craftsmanship and provenance and also supplying our many pubs, bars and eateries from Brixham through to Torquay. If you want to sample some beer from South Devon then take a look at Bays Brewery, or if you're after something sweeter then look no further than Cockington Chocolate!

Oh, and don't forget, the English Riviera is home to the world famous Brixham Fish Market and seafood doesn't tend to get much better. Fresh fish is caught daily and landed at Brixham Harbour, it is then auctioned off in the morning, prepared and sent to local restaurants across the whole of the Bay - if you like seafood then you're in for a right treat!

There is somewhere to eat in Torquay to suit absolutely all tastes and budgets and plenty of places to enjoy al fresco dining with a sea view - why else would you visit the seaside! If you are heading out for a special occassion the why not try Michelin Guide restaurant The Elephant or even next door at No.7 Fish Bistro - both specialising in locally caught fish and both are absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a slightly more relaxed atmosphere then head to the newly developed Abbey Sands complex right next to the beach and check out Bistrot Pierre or Las Iguanas.
