Fine Dining

The English Riviera has many fine dining restaurants that have been distinguished with prestigious Devon and South West awards and you can be sure to find a delicious menu and excellent service when you dine out.

Award winning Restaurants on the English Riviera

An evening at Torquay's Michelin Star restaurant, The Elephant is an excellent way to indulge on a weekend break to the English Riviera. They offer a changing menu based around local and sustainable ingredients, using the abundance of fantastic produce available in South Devon. The restaurant has a dedicated farm, based in Brixham which provides the team with delicious seasonal produce and free-range chicken, lamb, pork and Kelly Bronze turkeys. The Elephant is relaxed, friendly and serves the best value Michelin starred lunch in the UK – a great way to finish your refreshing weekend break!

The Old Vienna and Orange Tree restaurants in Torquay are also award-winning restaurants. Winner of several Taste of the West awards and a previous Les Routiers Restaurant of the Year, these stylish restaurants use fresh, seasonal local food to create imaginative traditional dishes.

A visit to Hamiltons on Babbacombe Downs offers modern contemporary cuisine with a friendly service and warm atmosphere. Each menu is carefully designed by their passionate head chef and focuses on modern seasonal dishes using fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Wine and dine from their fabulous evening menu and sommelier selected wine list.

England’s Seafood Coast

No visit to the English Riviera is complete without tasting some fresh fish from England’s Seafood Coast. Each year over £25million worth of fish is landed at Brixham. The catch is sold on at Brixham Fish Market and can then be found in some of the top restaurants and fishmongers across the UK and Europe thanks to the exceptional quality. Local chefs make sure to use some too.

The family run No.7 Fish Bistro in Torquay offers homely, authentic seafood from local boats. Savour the fresh catch of the day whilst overlooking stunning sea views and enjoying a leisurely glass of wine. A must visit for seafood lovers.

In Brixham, head to Rockfish – a sustainable seafood restaurant set above Brixham Fish Market. With stunning views over the sea, watch as the trawlers bring in the catch which arrives in the kitchen soon after. The menu includes fish and seafood of all variety, from traditional fish and chips to Brixham crab and for every meal, they offer unlimited chips!

Fine Dining with Sea Views

There's nothing quite like dining by the sea: it just tastes better when you have views of the ocean and the English Riviera can offer just that with stunning sea views across Devon's Beautiful Bay.

The Berry Head Hotel in Brixham offers unparalleled sea views across the English Riviera. There is the choice of an a la carte restaurant for fine dining or a more relaxed brasserie. With a friendly atmosphere, exceptional service, good food and stunning sea views, the Berry Head Hotel is the place to go for fine dining in Brixham.
