The Waddling Duck Bistro in Torbay

A chance encounter in the local pub with the owner led to us booking a table here and we were not disappointed! What a charming, relaxing and attentive restaurant. We had an exceptionally delicious meal with great service and good wine. Thoroughly recommend

What a little gem!!.The food was fabulous and the service was magnificent. The price of the wine was very reasonable.We both had the cheese and leek soufflé, my wife had the lamb cooked nice and pink and I had the hake. However the star of the night was the soufflé. It was stunning, light as a feather. It was the best starter we have had in a long time.Superb restaurant and deserves all the five star reviews it gets

Very nice tasting food but small portions and could have done with some bread with the sardines.my beef cheek was lovely as we're the sardines.the belly pork was for my friends a little salty but that I feel is a personal thing overall though and enjoyable experience.the staff were faultless.

My partner and I had a delightful 4 course meal here over Easter weekend (nibbles/starter/main/dessert). The food was excellent. Shout out to the focaccia 'nibble', venison main, and cheese and leek soufflé starter, which were exceptional. The staff were very friendly and gave us some other local recommendations for our time in the area. Absolutely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food, wonderful service and a great environment. Perfect for groups and parties. It's hard to choose a favourite as I sampled other people's dishes from the menu but the pork belly and braised beef cheek were absolutely sublime 🥂

We celebrated our anniversary by visiting the Waddling Duck for the first time. The only downside was that we had not discovered the restaurant earlier. The food was absolutely wonderful, all of the flavours hinted at in the menu flooded onto the palate making the whole experience a culinary delight. The service was also top drawer, friendly and efficient. We will certainly be returning soon to sample more of the delights. Excellent! 👍

Fabulous small bistro. Great food; cassoulet was superb and the roast duck was wonderful. Lydia was a fantastic host. Relaxed atmosphere. We will be returning. Sorry but it was so good the only photo I have is of an empty plate.

This place deserves all the great reviews that it has already received. We had a superb meal here. The food could not be faulted and it was some of the best cooking we have ever tasted. The two front of house ladies were both friendly and knowledgeable and were very professional. Worth a visit here if you are in the area or live a hundred miles away. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

Excellent bistro great food, warm and friendly staff, we had a nice relaxed meal without being hurried along. The place is a real gem, totally agree with all the really good reviews, booking essential, restaurant was full the evening we went (tables nicely spaced out).Looking forward to going again

Highly recommended! The restaurant is small and cute, the staff are very friendly, the service quick, and the food absolutely delicious! The cod was the best fish we had eaten in years.
