This small family run restaurant was an unexpected surprise! We come down to Torquay/ Paignton every year and love finding gems like these! By far the best crab I have ever had and at such a reasonable price! Perfectly cooked! Fresh and clean! (Being a chef for 15 years) I've eaten & cooked alot of crab and honestly this beats 5 star hotels for fresh seafood! Will definitely be returning π¦π¦ππ
Absolutely brilliant place to chill and have locally sourced food at exceptionally good prices for top quality produce. Marvellous.
Fabulous setting especially if you sit out by the harbour, fresh seafood, beautifully cooked and the staff are friendly and helpful.
A really special find. Lovely atmosphere and the crab was huge and tasty. The lads serving were absolute gems, very funny, warm and entertaining. We had a great evening and our only regret is that we won't get to go again as we're off home tomorrow.
Lovely food and great service. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was the dessert options. There were only 2 to choose from and then they ran out of the one I ordered! Never mind though, the main meal was delicious. I thoroughly recommend.
Just had a fabulous lunch at the Curious Crab.
Wow what a great experience in these difficult times. The crab π¦ was superb. The staff so friendly and efficient..the restaurant newly refurbished so very clean and very safe and all with views of the harbour..will be back next week..
After having the curious crsb recommended to us twice in two days, we decided to eat here for dinner. I'm so glad we did, delicious food and amazing friendly service. We will be visiting again before our holiday is over.
Met the owner, Adrian, who is also a fisherman on Monday outside this wonderfuly positioned restaurant. Witnessed the arrival of fresh live lobsters preordered by customers booked for that evening. Adrian is well informed and connected, engaging and exceptionally enthusiastic about this new business and is undoubtedly going to be a success and our new go to fish restaurant. My neighbour and good friends already booked a table.
What a great restaurant, the food and service was excellent. I have a feeling we got lucky it was the opening day as I can't imagine we'd be able to get a table at such short notice next time we're in Paignton.
Lovely food, we had scallop starter and mussel main.....yummy. Staff were attentive and polite, would go back again.
The food was amazing and could not fault. The service needed some work. But don't let that put you off, the food was lovely and would recommend
Had such a fantastic meal today at the Curious Crab. Great service and amazing food. The type of restaurant you always hope to find on holiday.
Thanks
Eaten here twice for lunch. Staff are so nice and friendly, food is amazing. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again the next time we are in Paignton
The meal was fantastic .the setting was stunning and the staff couldnt have done more for us.will def be going back.
We had a brief couple of drinks here. Will go back again, but COVID 19 rules may make it difficult for this business as it is a small local bistro bar.
