Shoals Seafood Restaurant is the brainchild of Sean and Sarah Perkes. Established in 2014, the once storage room for the open air seawater pool has been transformed into a unique fish lovers dream. The small family run restaurant and outside terrace provide beautiful coastal views across the bay and beyond.

    Always come here when we come down to Brixham , great food as always, just one little moan that we had to order all side dishes separate now , think main dishes still should come with a choice of potatoes , but food was great as ever

    I chose Shoals to celebrate my Wifes birthday after a sauna and dip in the sea at Shoalstone - I was blown away by the exceptional service, stunning views, and incredible food that truly impressed. The whole crew went above and beyond to make our dinner memorable. I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a fantastic, friendly and atmospheric restaurant. Definitely a five-star rating from me! Big thanks to all at Shoals.
