Welcome to The Elephant Restaurant

The Elephant is a two storey fine dining restaurant with the more informal brasserie on the ground floor and the Michelin starred, The Room on the first. The Elephant was the first restaurant in Torquay to be awarded a Michelin star.

Run by head chef, Simon Hulstone and his wife Katy, the restaurant overlooks the beautiful Torbay harbour. We offer a changing menu based around local and sustainable ingredients.

We’re very lucky to have an abundance of fantastic produce on our doorstep and a great team who are passionate about serving great food to our customers. We’re committed to supporting local businesses and have great relationships with Occombe Farm and Brixham fish market which means we can deliver delicious fresh food all year round.

The Elephant has been list in the UK’s top 100 restaurants as voted by Restaurant magazine, for the past three years.

Diners in the Brasserie can enjoy a delicious menu of local and sustainable fish, meat and vegetables, sourced from the surrounding area, in an informal and attractive setting. Paignton crab with spaghetti, chilli and coriander and whole English lobster with skinny fries are among our most popular dishes. Our menu changes regularly to make the most of what’s in season.

The Room offers Michelin starred food and service without the formalities. You can choose from a five or six course tasting menu or from the a la carte menu, which changes almost daily during the summer months. Example dishes include, beets and curds, ham hock tortellini and halibut with parsnip, lardo and golden sultanas. Our manager will help you to find the perfect bottle of wine to complement your meal or if it’s a truly special occasion we’d recommend our food and wine matching menu.
