Local Restaurants
Below please find details of a few local restaurants however, this list is constantly changing and further information will be sent once a booking for Brookside Guest House is received.
Rockfish - 01803 850872
https://www.therockfish.co.uk/restaurants/brixham
Located at the top of the harbour and prehaps the closest restaurant to the source of fish in the UK. Rockfish Brixham sits above the world famous fish market overlooking the boats as they land their catch. Fabulous views overlooking the sea.
Shoals Restaurant on the Lido - 01803 854874
http://www.shoalsbrixham.co.uk
Shoals Restaurant offers fresh fish sourced locally and from their own family trawler. They also serve meat and vegetarian dishes. A fabulous restaurant with beautiful views over Torbay. Very friendly and quite small so an advanced booking is a must. Located just a 20 minute walk from the harbour although they do also have a car park.
Golden Lion Pub – 01803 469501
65 New Road, Brixham
https://goldenlionbrixham.com/
Situated down New Road, halfway between us and the harbour, this is a fantastic local pub serving extremely good pub food. Great choices, reasonable prices and very definitely, plentiful portions. This pub is in a great location for when you are either wanting a quick drink on your way out into town, or alternatively, a nightcap on your way back. We can highly recommend this very friendly local pub run by Jay & Alex. You won’t be disappointed.
As well as the above, the Golden Lion are now selling “Pensioners Lunches” for everyone over 60 years of age, from Tuesday-Friday lunchtime. The portions are slightly smaller but your tummy feels satisfied when you leave and not bloated. Lovely for a quick lunch.
Alberos - 01803 882753
18a New Quay Ln, Brixham TQ5 8AJ
https://www.alberobrixham.co.uk/
Very nice Mediterranean restaurant with fabulous views over the harbour. Located in the corner of the harbour with covered outdoor seating. As well as speciality dishes, they sell a good range of home cooked pizzas.
Prince William - 01803 854468
https://theprincewilliam.co.uk
A very popular pub with a lot of outdoor seating alongside the harbour. Great views and the last place the sun sets so very popular. Obviously for either a drink or dinner. They serve meals outside up until about 7 pm (this is all via a QR code linking your phone to their menu - for both drinks & dinner), but you can also book tables inside and have a conventional menu experience. Reasonably priced, very varied menu - only criticism is the food is sometimes a bit slow coming.
Manor Pub - 07462 861674
https://themanorpub.com
A good pub and one of the oldest in Brixham. Situated up a side street next to the Wine Loft - great for atmosphere and a drink and on occasions, dancing. Just started serving light bites. Tuesday night is Curry night, Thursday is Pizza night.
Simply Fish - 01803 859585
https://simplyfishrestaurant.co.uk
A very nice fish restaurant offering speciality fish as well as the normal "chip shop" fish. Very popular however, a little pricey considering it is just an upmarket "fish n chip" shop .... but it is Brixham fish after all!
La Petite Maison – 01803 882811
a French restaurant – opened on the 31st March 2023
https://www.brixhambistro.co.uk
We have now had the opportunity to eat at this restaurant and can honestly say, it is very good. The menu for dinner was great with a nice selection of classic French dishes. The atmosphere was really good and the staff very attentive.
All in all, a great vibe and definitely one not to be missed. .
Olive – Mediterranean Kitchen & Wine Bar
https://www.olivebrixham.co.uk/
01803 882811
Very nice Tapas restaurant. Small plates & also larger plates. Also, a very good wine selection with tasting & wine flights available. Definitely worth a visit if you like a relaxed atmosphere in very pleasant surroundings. You can find Olive next door to The Mermaid pub down on the harbour front.
AT Thai - 01803 858936
