Regatta Restaurant - Barcelo Torquay Imperial Hotel

Torquay’s harbour & marina provide the backdrop, & wonderful views add to the pleasure of dining at the evenings-only Regatta Restaurant, where menus are packed with imaginative ideas. Try Brixham mussels in a Thai-flavoured broth ahead of roasted pork loin with pommes sarladaise & apple calvados fondue, before rounding off with pear & almond tart with banana ice-cream. Saturday evening brings after-dinner dancing to the Imperial band. Elsewhere, guests visiting this imposing 19th-century resort hotel can enjoy informal meals in the conservatory & lounge (10am-10pm); the latter is also the venue for afternoon tea.
