We chose this restaurant as it had good vegan options. The food was very good and all homemade. The dish size was quite small. The service was okay though not very quick. Our only complaint was that we ordered a non alcoholic bottle of wine which took ages to be served- as it wasn’t chilled enough. I don’t remember receiving an apology for having to wait for our drinks. The setting was lovely and we appreciated the uninterrupted sea view. The hotel is quite a way out of Paignton so we had to get a taxi back to our guest house. But we were able to sit in the lovely bar area while waiting for our taxi.

A wonderfully interesting , tasty and different dining experience . The food is beautifully presented , tasty and served with style . The ambience is delightful , the wine list interesting . It is way above much of Paignton's cuisine yet the price is modest . Bravo !

While staying at the hotel, I ate in the restaurant 3 times. The well apportioned tapas give a wide choice both in the selection and size of the meal. The quality of the food was excellent especially the duck balls with hoisin sauce and there is a wide range of wines / drinks to accompany the meal. Served by a very pleasant hotel manager together with good views over the bay to the sound of the sea if the tide is in.

We had a lovely tapas lunch sat outside overlooking the sea this last weekend. We were warmly greeted by the hotel & restaurant manager and made to feel very welcome. The drinks were lovely and well served, my cocktail with fresh mint picked from the herb pots on the terrace, & the food was incredibly fresh & tasty. I particularly enjoyed the duck balls with hoisin sauce & the potatas bravas .. & just what we were after. We will definitely eat here again.

Lovely meal whilst staying at Channel View - portions sizes were perfect: the prawns, crab croquettes, patatas bravas and bread delicious, and the local beer a must-try! Well worth visiting this little gem if you’re in the area. Thanks Peter and Ruth!

A really lovely evening. The terrace provided a great view of Paignton and Torquay. The owner was friendly and efficient. The food was really good value and delicious- loads to choose from and cooked fresh to order. The duck balls and prawns were particularly fab!

Overall, was very impressed. Weather wasn’t fab but views were beautiful and a nice, quiet atmosphere. The food was mostly beautiful, especially the garlic prawns. Unfortunately, the special (squid balls) and our desert (churros) were pretty overdone and crispy which was a shame. Everything else was lovely though.
