Been a couple of years since my last visit, but SO happy to say nothing has changed. The food blew us away and the staff are just awesome. I cannot wait to come back again!

We discovered this place completely by accident and I'm so glad we did! It has some of the most interesting and delicious food I've ever had. I have to say all the pictures on Google definitely do not do this place justice because I was initially a little skeptical but that was soon dispelled. Definitely recommend this place if you want to try something new and interesting.

What’s a great place heard about this for sometime and never made it. I suggest if you read this review then you go try and sample some of the great delights and delicious items on the menu.

Visited last night and haven’t been able to stop thinking about this place, absolutely impeccable. As a whole experience, this is hands down the best place to dine in Devon.
Andrew Lindsay

Really great evening.Small World is a small but bold restaurant with a big heart!!!The menu clearly labelled for Gf and vegan including wine with Sara explaining everything. This was a refreshing change as normally, being a vegan I just feel such an inconvenience!I really appreciated the attention to detail and the clear labels.The olives were HUGE with fresh orange and almonds inside; a taste of the sun whilst it rained continuously outside.Interestingly, everything is made fresh on site and the homemade bread was delicious.They even provided GF bread which was lovely. It’s served in a ‘bread bag’ which when opened, reveals this enticing smoky smell. Nice touch!We all loved the authenticity of the potatas bravas ! The vegan tower was beautifully presented with roasted artichoke and clever corn ribs - creative! Meat lovers also loved their meal and the Mahou beer from Madrid was such a surprising and refreshing treat.The roulette game of peppers was a cool touch and a bit of fun.I would love to see another option regarding vegan protein; maybe a chick pea stew or a veggy albondigas with soy mince and almond sauce ?! Happy to be a taster ;) thanks again Sara and team. It really is an amazing restaurant and I can’t believe I haven’t been before ! Thank you all! Oh and the churros were sublime - took me right back to the market on a Sunday morning in Alicante!Vegetarian options: lots of veggy options and clearly labelsDietary restrictions: Really attentive with VG and GF
Excellent food and helpful, friendly service. Great to know that half portions are possible, allowing for even more experimentation. All dishes were delicious.

We were down in Torquay to celebrate our anniversary, and the Small World Tapas restaurant was booked as a surprise by the other half, and so glad it was, what a fantastic restaurant, great atmosphere, lovely wine list and fantastic food, you can tell they take pride in their business, and go out of their way to ensure their guests enjoy the experience, it was sooo good we actually went back the following night to have the other things on the menu we didnt have room to eat on our first visit. The portions are a good size and the selection fantastic, next time in Torquay we will be booking another great evening at the Small World Tapas Restaurant.
