The Galley is a charming fish and seafood restaurant in historic Topsham, overlooking the River Exe estuary. With such a bountiful larder of Devon’s coast and countryside, our family-run team proudly serves the very best of Devon on a plate. We offer a select but confident menu with a carefully curated wine-list with recommendations for each course. Head Chef Louis Huggins lets the produce speak for itself, letting natural flavours shine through. Dishes are intense, clean and immaculately presented. There are daily changes to the menu, depending on local produce and seasons.

For a restaurant that once held a Michelin star, our experience that evening was somewhat disappointing. The octopus was a little mushy and didn’t taste as fresh as we had hoped, and the plaice, though nicely presented, was far too salty and overwhelmed the natural flavor of the fish. Overall, the main courses didn’t quite live up to the restaurant’s reputation, which was a pity because we had been looking forward to dining here.

The food and the people were amazing. We had a delicious three-course meal. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to try it.

We had a full 3 course meal here with some of the supliments.
For starters we had the scallop and makrel, both were great.
Mains were good, the duck was worth the extra price. I would skip the veg though, as nothing special.
Dessert was good. The souffle was very impressive. They’d also swapped out one of the options for a special, which was nice.
Overall it’s really good value and absolutely no complaints. Service was very attentive and friendly.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed dining experience. Although the menu is not extensive, each dish is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing well-balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. The seafood, in particular, is exceptionally fresh and cooked to perfection. Combined with attentive and friendly service, this restaurant delivers an outstanding overall experience.
Will visit again when around the area

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impressively fast. At first, I thought the portions might be small, but they were actually very satisfying and filling. Given the quality of the food, the prices felt incredibly reasonable—this is truly an honest and well-run restaurant.
The dessert was outstanding! I’m not usually a fan of sweet treats, but the dark chocolate mousse was simply exceptional. It completely won me over.
The staff were friendly, hardworking, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. A rare find in terms of both food quality and service. Highly recommended!

Award winning restaurant forgetting the basics. Food was excellently cooked but very small servings. The staff could not have been more disengaged, undertook bare minimum interaction and at times ignored us completely and very slow delivery of everything to the table. Tables are very close together resulting in frequent back sides stuck across your table and your chair incessantly being pushed as staff and customers push passed,

My original review was fairly positive:
“The setting is very cozy, the atmosphere is unpretentious but still formal enough. That gives you a nice feeling of a good restaurant.
Even though the service is not up to high standards: waiters are not paying attention to your table, dirty napkins and crumbs are left sitting there unless you point someone’s attention to it.”
The chef was doing a good job so I thought will give this place another try, and boy I was wrong!
Our reservation was at 6.30 and even though you have a proper notification sent to you reminding to leave your table at 8.15 they like to remind you about that the moment you take your seat. And that would not be a big deal if the next table to us with the reservation at 6.45 would have the same reminder. They did not. When I asked why our table of 2 – returning customers got it I got some strange explanation that did not make any sense. Apparently 6.30 tables would be discriminated every time for no reason. Just be aware.
My octopus was extremely salty and my potatoes were impossible to cut through. When I complained about it they suggested me a sharper knife…
I am done here. Sadly, not a place to come back.
