The Elephant
3-4 Beacon Terrace, Torquay, TQ1 2BH
Michelin Guide Rating
AA Guide Rating
3 AA Rosettes: Outstanding restaurants that achieve standards that demand recognition well beyond their local area. The cooking is underpinned by the selection and sympathetic treatment of the highest quality ingredients. Timing, seasoning and the judgment of flavour combinations will consistently be excellent. These virtues tend to be supported by other elements, such as intuitive service and a well-chosen wine list.

Our review of The Elephant (August 2024)
It had been over seven years since my last visit to the renowned seaside restaurant The Elephant in Torquay, but it was a meal I had fond memories of. Whilst back on holiday in lovely Devon, it seemed an ideal time to revisit a restaurant that has successfully retained its strong guide recognition in those years, so I duly made the trip for lunch with my wife, her parents and our two young children on a pleasant August Saturday....
