Had the most amazing meal last night. The food was sublime, six of us descended on this wonderful place and we all ordered the seafood platter and all I can say is WOW!!! The food just kept coming, cooked to perfection, service was 5*
Such a range of food I can't imagine anyone going in and not being able to find something on the menu!
We all walked out in a seafood coma and talked about how amazing it was all the way home.
Give this place a go, you won't regret it.
Amazing food and so warm and welcoming!! Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu! Highly recommend The Local to anyone. One of Paignton’s true gems �
The food well presented and tasted great .had the burger and the plate was empty at the end . Well all of our plates were empty ����
I'm a fussy desert man , but they made me a cheese board , which finished the meal off nicely .
Well situated on greckle street . Smoking area out the back . If your In the area and hungry I would say give to a go
11/10 would recommend. Food is absolutely on par! The staff are super welcoming!
This place is amazing , lovely staff ready to help and the food is out of this world !!+ when visiting paignton I be going here !!
Ate here with a large group of friends at the weekend and will definitely be returning. A great range of reasonably priced food and drink and all 10 of us thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Service was excellent - prompt, helpful and friendly. This place is just what Paignton has been in need of.
Fantastic place for both food and drink. The owners are kind, courteous, generous, have a passion for serving the public and most importantly - a great laugh and company.
An absolute joy to visit and will most certainly be back!
Fantastic food... all cooked fresh and the presentation was amazing!! Definitely eat here again.
Had an awesome burger from here one the way home last night!
Great night out, a little gem. Food good too
Our last sample of the food experience in Paignton over a few days and this one was pretty impressive. The chef knows how to cook a Steak and according to the misses the Lamb Chomp was pretty exceptional as well. Good service, Dog friendly and great food. You should give them a go when you're next there.
Delicious food and a very family friendly atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Even had a chat with us in a quieter moment. My wife said the Sunday roast was so nice, she was gutted she couldn’t manage to finish it. The burgers are huge and very flavourful. There is no way you are leaving this place without a full belly. Highly recommend.
What a gem of a place. Started with such a friendly welcome by the staff, including the chef as the kitchen is completely visible, behind glass. Seated at a lovely high table. Extremely clean and well looked after interior. Nice selection of drinks and my wife's pink g&t was one of the best she said she's had. For food, I had the Bbq mixed grill. All that's going to last a couple of days it was so big. Great selection of meats on it. My wife had salmon on zucchini spaghetti! Different, but very very tasty. When the bill came I was pleasantly surprised as it was very reasonable. All in all a lovely evening with lovely food and exemplary service. Def a go back to bistro.
Absolutely superb food and fantastic service once again. Andy and Steve looked after our table of 14 for my birthday fantastically. Food was amazing. Short notice booking and more than happy to accommodate a large group. Nice andnfast service and great selection of dishes.
The food here is outstanding! Enjoyed a perfect steak meal followed by one of the best desserts I've had. Fantastic service by the host; friendly and funny. We all enjoyed so mu h we returned the next day for Sunday lunch which was superb. You really must eat here if you visit Paignton
My wife booked here. Wasnt expecting to be anything more than café food .
How wrong was I.
Our host wonderful and friendly.
All our meals was faultless. Will definitely recommend and return.
Decided to try somewhere new while we are here on holiday again. Kept looking at menu as we walked to & from our b&b round the corner. Staff are so friendly. Answerd any questions we asked. Ordered our food with ease. Waiter was really lovely. Food looked very yummy when it arrived, and tasted even better.
We had the
Firefly Burger
Tuna Nicoise
Cider batterd chips.
😍😍😍😍
Atmosphere was very relaxed
Wasn't rushed to leave. Lovely chat with our waiter about some cider from France we had in the past. As he was french.
Will definitely go again this holiday or next. And recommend to anyone we know who comes down this way
I lived in Paignton all my life and remember this place as Pappers for an end of the night kebab. Since Andy took over for what ever reason I’ve not been in . That has been a massive mistake went there tonight for a meal with a mate and was blown away by the quality of the food . The place is very nicely done out very clean and the food OMG fantastic. Will definitely be telling everyone about it and will definitely be back . I seriously recommend this great restaurant .

Place was lovely. Very clean and tidy and beautiful set up. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, and food was delicious and well priced. Definitely recommend and will be going again.
We came as a family of 6 for a Sunday lunch last week. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. Food was fabulous, there was lots of it and loads of different veg which we loved. Highly recommend and I'd return in future.
Called in Saturday without a reservation. Staff helpful and accommodating. Had the pork tenderloin which was amazing. Pork was melt in mouth. In fairness all food that table had was excellent. Will definitely be my go to place next time vanishing family in Paignton.
Wow amazing food. What a little gem. It doesn't look very big from the outside but it is lovely once you go through to the seating area. The menu is so nice we were spoiled for choice. The staff and service was 1st class and the food was amazing. Wow we will be returning and would recommend it. Price wise it was not overpriced for the quality of food and service. Thank you. Zoe and John from Wigan
We had an evening meal here. Sirloin Steak and a 20oz mixed grill that must have been 40oz . Wine is reasonable at £15 a bottle and good wine too. Service is very good, all the staff are friendly and helpful. Got to try this place if you are lucky to get the chance.
Freshly made pizza at an amazing price.
The care and attention to the food makes this place stand out from everywhere else around the town.
Well done you have a great restaurant! Can’t wait to return
So lovely. Perfect restaurant, lovely staff, amazing food options, really enjoyed by both the adults and the kids. We just chanced upon it wandering around Paignton and are delighted we did. Good luck and thank you.
Good service, great food, well presented and good value for money. You see the outside and would never expect the restaurant at the back. This is a real hidden gem.
Compliant with Covid-19 regulations and always looking out for your saftey.
We had for starter: fresh mackerel and mussels.
Mains were Chicken with roasted vegetables and salad. Super tasty special with pepercorn sauce. The lamb burger was good with slices if lamb on top of a lamb patty.
So gutted as It was so filling had no space left for dessert. Great place would recommend to go try.
Came back for the 1st time this year and it didn't disappoint ,fantastic new menu ,well worth the visit def be back again to try the new dishes as no one else in town does an exciting menu like this if you are a food
Thanks to Andy, jaimie and yogi for creak service
Staying in Paignton for a few days, always struggle to find somewhere to have evening meal. Looked for best restaurants and the Local Gastro Bar and Grill came out on top. We were a little worried when looking for prices when it said “call for a quote”. But we chose to eat here and Chef Andy explained that he couldn’t provide fixed prices due to the variable costs of the fresh locally sourced ingredients. We needn’t have worried our meal for two of Sea-bass and Moules Mariniere plus a good bottle of Sauvignon Blanc came to £65, superbly cooked and well presented.. Waitress Bee was a breath of fresh air in these difficult times for the restaurant industry.
Excellent little find, could have easily walked past it if we hadn’t read the reviews. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly too. Would definitely visit again when we come to Paignton.
