Great restaurant looking out on the bay. We had the sea bass while watching a dolphin, paddle boarders and pedals go by. The fish was really tasty.
Set on the beautiful Gem that is Oddicombe beach. We were served quickly and with no hassle. The Captains Breakfast was nice as was the eggs benedict. Good views and tidy eating area. Staff done well given how busy it got in the lunch hour. Very good day out. All be it I'm a little sun burnt.
Sensational venue with seriously good food. We had Millionaire's breakfast (poached eggs royale with smoked salmon and hollandaise - gorgeous!) & a Captain's breakfast (full English with refreshingly high quality ingredients) accompanied by bloody Mary's. The views are stunning. What a find. Can't wait til the next time. Thank you for being there, our new fave destination in the Bay xXx
Been here several times. The food is lovely and great service. It can get extremely busy and you may have to queue to get a seat in good weather. Possibly booking could be a good idea. They do an excellent Pimms and lemonade.
Really nice cafe with a perfect view looking out on to the water. Weather wasn't very nice on visit but the interior of cafe made it feel cozy looking out. Staff are really friendly and the hot chocolates and toast tea cake tastes great. I live in Dorset but when I visit sister in torquay I'll definitely be returning :)
Went as a group of 6 family members yesterday and had the BEST time. From arriving to leaving everything was perfect. Alan and his staff are all extremely friendly, the food was AWESOME, 4 different dishes and all very tasty and substantial, Alan recommended the squid salad to my partner when they didn’t have what he wanted and was VERY happy.
It’s located right on the beach and 4 of us had a fabulous swim in the clear water which was magical as for all of us swimming in British seas has been virtually unheard of 🙈🤣
It was all so good we’re going back today.
Thank you all.
Love this place, we had a week away and came 3 times. Service is lovely 😍
Great breakfast, a lovely bit of winter sun with a pod of dolphins playing in the surf before us, pre swim. We'll be back 😀
Great place to have lunch on a autumn day. Good tapas selection and nice beach location.
Excellent scenery, described by staff modestly as "a pretty good office view" XD, it's open all year!, and reachable by the cliff railway which is also very unique and convenient. I only bought an earl grey tea and go for the double biscuits, as the oat one really tasty it's crumbly and sweet perfect with the cuppa. I went in October time when things are more chilled and could just listen to sounds of the sea. I'd walked 8 miles from Teignmouth down the coast path, and oddicombe bay, for me is the best beach of them all from that start point.
Accommodating staff and tasty food in a stunning location.
I arrived with my family with the restaurant mostly full or with tables reserved and the only option being to sit with my parents and grandparents at the outside tables on a chilly October day until space became available inside. But, no sooner than we had chosen table one of the staff kindly moved a few things around and was able to seat us inside immediately - and without a coat that was something I appreciated very much!
The food and coffee were both very tasty and if you pick a nice day the views are stunning, it's definitely a great spot to chill and watch the world go by.
Wonderful location, great food, great staff. Great place to pass the time with a couple of pints of Black Rat Devon cider, overlooking the Torbay coast..
Update 22nd April 2022. Still same great place to come. Black Rat still great and such a fantastic location. Staff great and attentive again.
Interesting range of dishes for a sea front cafe.
We visited just after lunch time and took a seat in the outdoor area which has plenty of tables and a great view out to sea. Food came quickly and was decent enough. Grilled sardines were tasty and it was good to see a salad with some dressing!
Simply one of the best views for brunch and right on the beach. Lovely staff, superb food and that's why we keep coming back!!
This is a nice little cafe in the beautiful setting of Oddicombe beach...On a nice day you can sit outside looking out over the lovely clear sea waters, watching the other people enjoying their selves...The cafe's staff are all lovely friendly and welcoming delivering a very nice service...There is a good selection on the menu to choose from as you will see from my photos.. Overall a lovely cafe to have some refreshments....👍
Lovely beach side cafe - really good food not just the usual soggy chips and powdery coffee! - and really excellent service, we were made to feel very welcome. Worth stopping by even on a cold wet day!
