Crusoes is a firm favourite of ours, we regularly enjoy the view over the harbour with a nice bottle of wine and a beautiful, high quality fillet steak, cooked on hot rocks so that you can take your time and soak up the view. The home cut chips are so moreish. Gill the waitress and Gary the chef are so friendly and ensure you have a lovely evening without being in any way intrusive. Thoroughly recommend. We would try some of the lovely looking seafood on the menu but it’s difficult to not order a fillet steak when they are so good and great value.

We visited twice during our week's holiday in Brixham and absolutely loved Cruscoe's. The food was delicious, all freshly cooked to order. We tried Dover Sole, steaks that we cooked ourselves on the volcanic rocks the halloumi skewer (highly recommended), mussels, meatballs, crab and prawn linguine and hake with meatballs. We would all recommended a meal here ?

Amazing!!! We wanted to experience fresh seafood whilst on holiday. There were four of us, 2 fish lovers, 1 non-fish lover and a vegetarian. The fish lovers were bowled over by the scallops, muscles and hake/cod. It was so fresh so the dish was substituted with whatever fish was caught that day. Our non-fish lover had the steak which was cooked perfectly on the volcanic plate and the veggie loved his halloumi skewer. The food was even served by the chef and was to die for. We loved every bite and the service was amazing. I’m on a low fodmap diet and because everything is cooked fresh, my difficulty with certain ingredients was no problem at all. THANK YOU!!jVegetarian options: Halloumi skewer a great option for veggies!

Hands down the best meal we had in Brixham. Perfect end to our week. The hot rock steaks are incredible. There was 11 of us who all had different meals and every single one was absolutely amazing. They are so accommodating and went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect evening, especially great with the kids. Restaurant itself is gorgeous inside, with view of the harbour and Mediterranean vibes. Definitely a hidden gem! Thanks so much Jules and the fabulous chef who looked after us!

We weren't staying in Brixham so came upon this restaurant by chance and what a find! It wasn't too busy but I suspect it's because of the location upstairs. Several people did come in whilst we were there but I'm very surprised people aren't clamouring for a table! The food was excellent... the hake wasn't available but i chose fresh haddock instead - it was perfect. My husband wanted a steak but doesn't like doing them on a hot stone so Gary (chef and owner) cooked it for him in the traditional way and he thought it was one of the best steaks he's had in a long time!! Lauren served us and we found her to be a very friendly and helpful girl. All in all, it was a great meal and we highly recommend anyone in the area to give it a try.
Had no idea this restaurant was there. Loved the food, service and atmosphere. We will be going back.

Hidden gem of a quality restraurant, not to be missed! The quality of food and presentation is exceptional. We had Dover Sole, served with me potatoes, and fresh steamed veg (broccoli, mange tout, green beans) & Monk Fish (served with twice cooked chips & asparagus). The waitress is very friendly and the chef also came out and spoke. Also dog friendly. Don't miss this place in your brixham visit!

We visited the restaurant twice during our stay. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly the chef/owner even came to say hello and asked if we had any questions about the menu. During the 2 visits we had 4 different starters and all were amazing. Being a meat lover I opted for the steak on both occasions and I have to say the quality of the meat is second to none. My wife chose various fish options, all fresh off the local boats. The dessert menu offers something for everyone and all are made on the premises. The chef took the time to come and check everything was OK. They really couldn't do enough for us. All round a great time, great staff and a great view. Highly recommended
