Capers Restaurant

Frommer's Review

This intimate, French-style bistro lies at Lisbourne Square, just off the main artery, Babbacombe Road. Torquay is not renowned for its dining, but this serious little restaurant is a bright note in a culinary wasteland. Families are among the regular patrons. The chef-owner, Antonia Rios, shops for the freshest of regional produce, when available, and serves locally caught fish and shellfish. A selection of vegetarian dishes is also available. The sauces that go with the fish are a harmonious match to the catch of the day. Tempting main dishes include pan-fried halibut topped with prawns, parsley, and lemon butter, or else pan-fried filet steak with mushrooms, onions, cream, and brandy. But we'd forego all that for the locally caught Devon lobster in garlic butter.
