French Restaurant & Bar in Torquay, Abbey Sands

Our French restaurant and bar in Torquay

Nestled right on the stunning Torquay seafront, near the Princess Theatre, our bistrot offers the perfect space to relax with friends and family, no matter the occasion. Set over two floors, we feature a lively downstairs bar and a covered first-floor balcony, providing panoramic views of Torquay’s beach and bay, whatever the weather.

Upstairs, you’ll find ‘Maids Perch’, a charming spot with a fascinating history. Many years ago, widowed maids would look out to sea from this perch. Today, it’s much more fun—offering breathtaking views of the coastline in favourable weather, it’s the best place to be in Torquay for a relaxing drink or meal.

Whether you’re starting the day with our delicious breakfast, offering any cooked breakfast dish, hot drink and juice for £13.50, or exploring our A La Carte Menu, featuring traditional dishes and seasonal specials crafted by our talented chefs, we have something for everyone.
