Number 7 Fish Bistro
A long-established seafood bistro in a Regency-era terrace by the harbour. Its chalkboard menu lists the day's Brixham catch, and it is recommended by the Michelin Guide.
Located at 7 Beacon Terrace next to The Elephant, it is personally run by owner Paul. The Michelin Guide describes it as a personal bistro decorated with fish photographs and memorabilia. Large chalkboards list the seafood landed each day by Brixham boats, and staff bring out trays of fresh fish for guests to choose from. Signature dishes include a three-fish platter with three sauces, as well as crab, lobster, scallops and cod loin. Upstairs is a wine bar with harbour views. The decor is a little dated, but the freshness of the fish is highly praised. Lunch is served only Wednesday to Saturday. Dinner is served daily in summer, with some closed days in other months. Booking is recommended.
Opening hours
Lunch Wednesday to Saturday 12:15–13:45; dinner 18:30–21:45 (daily in July to September, with some closed days in other months)
