Ephesus Torquay

What can I say, it has been a while but Ephesus never fails to impress. If you are local or just visiting this is a culinary spot you have to visit, arguably one of the best in the bay. You won’t go wrong ordering and the staff are warm and welcoming, the energy in the restaurant does not feel like you are in Torquay. I can not rate Ephesus enough. Oh and they do take out too!

My partner booked this restaurant for my birthday meal. As we arrived we had a warm and friendly welcome and we were seated at a table with birthday decorations which was a very kind gesture from the staff. The atmosphere and ambiance in the restaurant was elegant and romantic. We ordered the meatball parcels and feta and spinach parcels for starters which were both very delicious indeed. We both opted for the same main and of course it arrived with great presentation which made the dish look very appealing and appetising. The meat was cooked to perfection! We literally finished our whole dish. The portion size was spot on. We were full and ended up not ordering desert but the staff were so kind that they sang happy birthday and gave me a desert to mark my birthday. It was really nice and it made our dining experience even more special. Overall it was the best meal in Torquay and we will certainly be visiting again when we return to Devon. We left the restaurant very happy and most importantly loved the food and hospitality from all the staff including the owner who spoke to us and wished me happy birthday. Honestly if you’re in Torquay and you fancy an authentic Turkish food I would 100 % recommend this place.

Amazing place. We visited on a Sunday night - wasn't too busy. Lovely atmosphere. Food came out fairly quick, fresh, hot, lovely food. The sauce was unreal😍 Staff made the evening, we visited with our one year old daughter, they couldn't do enough for us. So friendly and welcoming. My only disappointment is that they're 3 hours away for our hometown. I would visit every weekend if I could. Thank you so much for beautiful food and a beautiful service x

If you are looking for a fantastic meal beautifully cooked, a varied menu, excellent attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere this is the place to go. We had a wonderful meal here, full of well balanced flavour - in fact the best kleftiko I have eaten in the UK or Greece. In our opinion the No 1 restaurant in Torquay. Thanks - we love you guys!!
