Besides its beaches, gardens, adventure parks and museums, one of the major things that Brixham is famous for is its restaurants. Even though the holiday cottages offer self-catering facilities, you may not always wish to cook during your vacations. There are a good number of fantastic restaurants in Brixham that serve delicious food ranging from local specialities, to fresh seafood right up to international and exotic cuisines. In fact a lot of guests from the holiday cottages make it a point to visit the many restaurants in South Devon. Here are some of the superb restaurants to dine at during your Brixham holidays.

The Breakwater Bistro

Take a break from the holiday cottages and visit the Breakwater Bistro restaurant, also famous for its beautiful view and excellent food. The Breakwater Bistro is located at Berry Head Road and is definitely one of the must-visit restaurants during your Brixham holidays.

Yet another popular dish is the Homemade Fish Pie that is served along with creamy garlic sauce and mashed potatoes. If you are a gold old meat eater, then order the Oven Roasted belly Pork that is served along with wholegrain mustard sauce, chips and vegetables. End your meal with a fantastic dessert. Choose from desserts like Chocolate Fudge Cake, Shortbread Love Heart Tower, Lemon Sponge and Apple Pie.
