Right in our backyard here at Kithbrooke we have some amazing, yummy and even hidden gems! Let your tastebuds take you on a wander this winter and try some local favourites or even give back!
Italo’s Wood Fired Pizza
Nestled by the end of Gilbert Street, Italo's (formerly Pear Tree) offer a wide range of Italian cuisine, with handmade cakes and wood-fired pizzas for those hungry from a walk along the nearby esplanade. It's a great place for a quick snack or a leisurely lunch or dinner.
Pond Cafe
A local favourite, Pond Cafe offers a range of tasty treats and delicious drinks.
They serve coffee, juice, breakfast, and lunch and there's always something fresh and new to check out on the menu!
Situated on the corner of the main street and the esplanade and open early, it's a popular choice for a morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the ocean...
The Salty Dog Cafe
The Salty Dog Cafe Torquay is the perfect place for a sunrise latte, lazy lunch, or sweet treat.
Set right on the beach, its just a few steps to the sand - though we're sure the team take great pains to keep their kitchen sand-free!
From sausage rolls to full meals, lattes to fresh juices, big brekkies to tasty slices, The Salty Dog does it all!
Ginger Monkey
Nestled among the Surf Shop outlets and just a short walk from the main shops lies Ginger Monkey cafe. A tasty oasis offering a range of savoury delights, fresh salads, and homemade cakes, which perfectly pair with fresh juices and delicious coffees. The decadent brownie is arguably the best in Torquay, and their themed cuisine days liked Taco Tuesday and Paella Friday make this little gem a popular choice with locals and visitors alike!
Growlers
Just a short trip from Kithbrooke Park (perhaps via our shuttle bus), you can find a delicious meal at local restaurant, Growlers.
Situated on the Esplanade overlooking the beautiful Torquay beach, Growlers is a long-standing local favourite. You can grab a meal or just a drink, enjoy some locally sourced seafood, and listen to live music, which plays every Saturday & Sunday in the beer garden.
