Cantina, Torquay

Abbey Park's got a different energy to the seafront madness, and Cantina fits right into that quieter, more grown-up Torquay vibe. You're getting Spanish cuisine done properly here—the kind of place where they care about sourcing and execution rather than Instagram moments. It's the sort of restaurant where locals actually book a table for a proper night out, not somewhere you're queuing round the block. The 4.5-star rating speaks to consistency; people keep coming back because the food's honest and well-made.
