Cliff Railway Cafe - Torbay

A peaceful break for me and 3 friends. It was a very late lunch but we were still made to feel welcome. Very impressed with the young men working. They were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Very nice crab sandwiches in a clean and attractive atmosphere.

Popped in as we were passing for a late lunch, great to be able take the dog onto the terrace, the waitress was really pleasant and helpful, we had the soup of the day and I must say it was the best sweet potato and butternut squash soup I've had in some time, great views out to sea were just a bonus.

Used this place many times before and always returned. Went in today for full English breakfast and have to say this was the worst I have ever had. The food must be cooked prior and reheated. My sausages were burnt and rock hard, bacon dry, tomatoes burnt and the pot of beans luke warm. When I requested an unburnt sausage the waitress went away and seconds later brought back another equally inedible sausage. Not once did I receive an apology or a request if everything was OK. On a positive note the coffee was good. Sadly they have lost my custom.

Another lovely lunch. Friendly cafe, good food, friendly staff and good sea views. A good area for a walk and lunch overlooking the sea, inside or outside.

Perched on the top of beautiful Babbacombe Downs with wonderful views of Lyme Bay and beyond. A hearty soup of the day, complemented with complimentary bread and butter. Excellent value. Cheery crew. Great espresso.
