Number 7 Fish Bistro - Torquay

Breathtaking view over the harbour and a fabulous collection of weeps. we had really lucky to get a table because of a cancellation and sat up in the weebar to dinner. the gentleman who worked this area was brilliant and nothing was too much annoyed for him. my partner had the crab and cajau while I had king scallops and lemon sole. both were beautifully cooked. sad, I have to say that the supplement of the sweet was very bad and was not lacking any thought. 2 new kartoffels, 3 tiny chopped pieces of lauch, a little sweethorn and a piece of beet root was all very basic. understandably, the fish was the heart and it was delicious.

We were delayed on the A380 but Paul did not make us feel uncomfortable about this as we arrived late. The surroundings were beautiful and the staff wonderfully attentive. Our food was stunning both to look at and eat. It was all cooked to perfection. We also took advantage of the wine bar in the evening and the bar staff were incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines they had in stock.. the wine tree tasters were fabulous.

Came here on a recommendation and they weren't wrong. Fantastic service and fish was king. It was beautifully cooked and the fish was brought to our table to check it before cooking.

Second visit and I'll certainly be back for more! Both my partner and I had the Fish Broth to start, and would gladly eat it every day for the rest of our lives. Absolutely delicious and no scrimping on the contents. For my main course I had the skate wings in brown butter and capers, and my partner had The Trio, both superb. What can I say? The food and the service here are excellent, and this is one of our all time favourite restaurants. Well done to Paul and his excellent team. PS. the wine selection is also excellent and reasonably priced.

What can I say other than This is the BEST Fish Restaurant I have ever eaten at !! and I have eaten in some of the best around the world in places like Fremantle Perth, Sydney, London etc, Starters were amazing, Scallops only for my wife which were cooked to perfection !! and I had the Mussels in a White wine and cream sauce with King Prawn Scallops and I must say it was the tastiest starter I have eaten (see picture Mains Wife had the 3 fish special with Turbot, Plaice Cod which she said was utterly amazing, and I had the Cod with Tempura King Prawns Tempura Scallops with light soy dip which seriously had me salivating just looking at it .... and the taste ... PERFECTION. I would come to Torquay again JUST to eat at No7 Fish Restaurant and if I could give a Michelin award they would thoroughly deserve it ... Brilliantly hosted by Paul, Staff attentive without being over bearing and just perfect food from the brilliant chefs !! You need to book it .... and normally 2 3 weeks notice at least !! I wonder why .... : wait until you taste it and you will see... Fantastic and thanks Paul for the superb eating experience.
