Al-beb
Take a virtual trip to north Africa courtesy of this brightly tiled Moroccan eatery crammed with woven fabrics and bright ceramics. It dishes up first-rate meze, tagine and couscous. Don't be surprised if a bit of belly dancing kicks-off too. If it's full, try the excellent Indian restaurant, Maha Bharat, at No 52, which is also open for dinner.

Number 7
Fabulous smells fill the air at this buzzing harbourside bistro, where the menu is packed with super-fresh crab, lobster and monkfish, often with unexpected twists. Try the king scallops with vermouth or fish and prawn tempura.

Elephant
One to remember, Torbay's Michelin-starred restaurant is full of imaginative flavour fusions: venison with vanilla and beetroot; sea bass with hog's pudding gnocchi. If that's a bit much, they'll do you a steak. There's fine dining in the Room, or brasserie fare downstairs.

Orange Tree
This award-winning brasserie adds a dash of Continental flair to local fish, meat and game. Try to resist the Brixham crab lasagne with crab bisque or the south Devon steak with a rich blue cheese sauce. Then succumb to Chocolate Temptation, a brownie, mousse and parfait combo.

Boathouse
Munch bistro standards (from steaks to spaghetti) and fresh fish at this breezy café on the seafront on the way to Paignton. You can hang out with a cappuccino on the sun-drenched terrace or sip a glass of white wine in chilled surrounds inside.

Thai Garden
Gloriously gilded Thai figurines and sparkly mirrors dot the interior, while fresh flavours fill a menu that includes extensive veggie options. Try the scallops with asparagus and spring onions.

Room in the Elephant
A restaurant to remember. Torbay's Michelin-starred eatery is defined by seriously good food and imaginative flavour fusions: squid and cauliflower risotto or chicken with liver and fig salad. The sumptuous cheeseboard groans under the very best Westcountry offerings.

Elephant Brasserie
The setting may be less formal, but the bistro below Torquay's Michelin-starred Room in the Elephant is still super-stylish. Treatments include lemon sole with shellfish ragout and Noilly Prat cream, and Devon duckling with spiced honey jus.
