Pier Point Restaurant and Bar

You're heading down Torbay Road towards the seafront when Pier Point announces itself — not with fanfare, but with the kind of understated confidence that comes from knowing what it does well. This is proper seaside restaurant territory, the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself because locals already know where to find decent fish and chips or a proper fish pie. The views across the bay are genuinely good, especially when the light's right and the water's calm. It's the kind of spot where you can bring your mates for a casual meal or actually make an effort for something slightly more considered.
