The Elephant

$$$$

Set back from the harbor, this elegant, Michelin-starred eatery offers sophisticated but relaxed dining, with views over Torbay from its Georgian windows. To start, you might have the option to try barbecue lobster with lobster custard, apple, and sorrel or cured Brixham mackerel with fennel yogurt and cucumber, followed by such main dishes as roasted rump of lamb or line-caught bass with shiitake and Thai green sauce. The highly skilled kitchen team is matched by the pleasant and attentive wait staff. At lunch, you can choose between the set menu (£32.50–£38.50), a multicourse tasting menu (£58), or a set-price à la carte menu (£57.50 or £75), which is also available in the evening alongside the evening tasting menu (£98.50).
