Orange Tree - Carte

Superb food stopping two doors away for a break ,staff very nice.thankyou

Expensive for what was delivered. Old fashioned and unimaginative menu. Outdated decor. The steak was OK, but the vegetables were bland and tasteless. And certainly not reflective of the prices being charged. The service however was friendly and attentive

We went for my husbands birthday as his parents were down from London. We thought we would treat ourselves. Whilst the food was good, it was massively overpriced, especially the scallops- £16 for three lonely scallops in a shell plate. Again, the main corses were nice but I have had the same elsewhere, better and more reasonably priced. The service was good but we won’t be going back as there are far better options, at far better value,in the local area. Voir le carte

Another superb evening in The Orange Tree Restaurant. Great welcome from Maira and Milena. We had the same table like last time (great memory). We treated ourselves with the Taster Menu for my wifes birthday and we had bottle of our favourite bubbles (Cristal Champagne). Each course that came out was superb and the service from new staff was very polite and friendly. As usual our experience was outstanding. Vittorio’s cooking was the absolute best. Best taster menu in Torbay, definitely be back soon!

At this strange and frightening time we decided to just be brave after self isolating for a while and go to Torquay for the day and night. We were staying in the area so looked at the reviews for the OrangeTree.They were good so we booked, best thing we did. Lovely welcome, friendly staff, but most of all the food. We chose the tasting menu and it was delicious. Not cheap but not really expensive as it included wine with every course. I have had tasting menus before where the wine was a bit more adventurous but there again paid a great deal more. I wish we lived closer so we could eat there more but if and when we visit Torquay we would definitely eat there.

Very disappointing. Went for my husbands birthday and had taster menu and wine flight at £130 each. Service was fantastic, however, food was very lacklustre. Soup was acceptable. Goats cheese was literally a bit of cheese slapped on the plate with a beetroot slice and dash of puree. Scallop and lobster bisque had the smallest bit of scallop and bisque was very average. Sorbet was delicious. Tournedos had sinew and the onions on top were so overcooked they were hard and dry. Menu said seabass however, we were given hake, which was served on a tepid plate of ratatouille. Last course we opted for cheese board. The cheese and grapes were served extremely cold and therefore had no flavour. You wo... Voir le carte

Where do I begin. The food was ok. The starters were ok. My girlfriends scallop was severely overpriced compared to most other restaurants. 16 quid for 3 scallops with garlic butter? The mains were pleasant enough and probably the best part of the meal. The pannacotta dessert also had very weak flavours. We ordered a bottle of wine to come with the starters. Didn 't get it. Just got an apology and that was it, so ordered two glasses instead. Later we ordered dessert wine. That came after we had finished the desserts. The staff weren 't that attentive or enthusiastic. Also during our visit we overheard other customers saying the food was pretty 'secondary ' and another man had his beef too ch...

I was treated to a trip to the Orange Tree to celebrate my birthday. I had been looking forward to a visit for a while having heard good things. We were greeted warmly and the decor and ambience were welcoming. Service throughout was good. However, the food is what let the place down. Starting with the mushy, old green olives left on the table as a nibble. My starter was described as Lobster bisque with seared scallops. There was one slightly overdone scallop in my soup. My partner's starter of goats cheese and beetroot lacked the finesse in presentation that one might expect from a £16 starter. My main course was a real let down. My chicken supreme was over-cooked and slightly dry. Vegetabl...

We booked this as part of a long weekend in Torquay having walked past it many times in the past. We had a friendly welcome and were seated quickly. We had all looked at the menu before hand so had a good idea of what we wanted and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately overall the food didn't live up to our expectations. My husband had the lobster bisque with a scallop which he enjoyed, my one friend had a beetroot and goats cheese starter which was nice enough, but two of us had scallops. I saw other reviews saying for £16 they would have expected more than the three scallops they had, so I was more than surprised to just get two, and they were not great, and lacked something. Fo...
