The Galley
Tucked away at the bottom of Topsham's winding main street and near the placid River Exe, this seafood bistro attracts enthusiastic plaudits for its succulent culinary creations, its friendly service, and its cozy atmosphere. You might find deviled mackerel, Brixham crab, and scallops on the fixed-price menu (£33 and £39), though you might also be tempted to sample pan-roasted lamb rump or asparagus tart, as well as such impressive desserts as elderflower cheesecake. The brick walls of the main dining area are hung with local art, and there are tables upstairs, too.
