Bistrot Pierre holds a special place in my heart as I have always gone for an occasion. This Pierres is wonderful as the views are lovely if you eat outside. We had the set menu 3 course meal. It looks small but don't be fooled, it's filling and delicious!

We descended on the place without warning, about 40 of us on a Saturday afternoon in January and had a fabulous time. The staff coped so well and the drinks were fantastic. Great deals on the cocktails and great vibe in the place. Thank you so much! James and Iwona especially were great. Thank you team!

It’s a great spot to have nice food and to enjoy the sea view. Steak and traditional British breakfast are tasteful service is always good

We ended up going to Bistrot Pierre after exploring the Torquay harbour looking for a reasonably priced restaurant with our dog. I wish we had gone straight here if we had known how good the food was and that it was dog friendly! The set menu was well priced, 2-course 20.95 and 3-course 24.95. Our meal (red pepper & tomato arancini, chicken fricassee x2, creme brulee and dark chocolate mousse) was absolutely delicious, full credit to the chef. Fantastic flavours and presented extremely well. The service was also very good, well done to Igor (highly professional and friendly) for bringing water for the dog and generally looking after us throughout our visit. The venue, with great views of the harbour and split across two levels) had a cosy feel to it and even had an outdoor fresh seafood bar next to the restaurant. We were very impressed with our visit to Bistrot Pierre and would recommend this to anyone looking for great food and service while in Torquay.

This weekend, my partner and I joined my parents for a gorgeous meal at Bistrot Pierre in Torquay, what a treat! Nestled right by the water, the venue boasts a cozy, French-inspired ambiance with stunning sea views—perfect for a relaxed, indulgent evening. We opted for the 22.95 3-course set menu, Starter: I began with a baked Camembert paired with caramelised plum, chutney, and sourdough—so creamy and indulgent! Main: Pork Medallions served with seasonal greens, dauphinoise potatoes, and a rich red wine jus. The flavors were perfectly balanced Dessert: A velvety dark chocolate mousse topped with honeycomb sprinkles and cream (not pictured because I couldn’t wait to dig in!) After dessert, I asked the waitress if she could make me a Dirty Martini (even though it wasn’t on the menu). She kindly obliged, and I had it made with vodka, olive brine, a hint of olive oil, and topped it off myself with a sprinkle of black pepper. —it was exactly what I’d been craving all week. A wonderful evening of delicious food, great company, and beautiful views. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Torquay!

Great restaurant with lovely views from the first floor dining room. Nice food but not all made by the on site chefs. Excellent front of house service, the whole team are really well trained. Too much printed clutter on the table.
