Small restaurant but offers fantastic food! The staff are really nice and we enjoyed every minute there. I said I'd give 6 out of 5 stars for the great experience:-), definitely the best restaurant in Torquay!

What a lovely restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The Chef certainly knows his craft. I had the wonderful Red Shrimps in Garlic sauce along with chorizo cooked in honey. Both were cooked to perfection. Followed by the Egg Box. In this is a desert with 5 mystery flavours. I managed to get 2 and a half correct. Sorry no clues, you'll have to try it for yourself!!Recommended, we will definitely be returning.

Spectacular night out for two in a tapas restaurant that has literally everything you could want from one.Generous dishes of delicious sharing food, check.Lovely and friendly staff, check.Attractive location, check.Really enjoyed the entire night, Sara and Alex gave us superb service (although we heard Alex was new, he managed like a veteran) and every dish was gorgeous.Have to give special mention to two really innovative dishes, the book of meat" which is part deli

Excellent evening meal while celebrating a birthday. Food was delicious and service was spot on, what a great restaurant. Recommendations and portion sizes were perfect for everyone. Can’t be faulted, highly recommended. We’ll be back!

What a wonderful little place! Only in Torquay for 2 weeks but definitely want to go back. Service was great, helpful and friendly, and the food was just fantastic. Some really interesting and interactive dishes as well, such as the edible book and mystery dessert both of which are well worth trying. Excellent.

This was the best meal I've had in a long time, not to mention the sangria and mojitos! I'd eat here every week if I lived closer

My fiancé and I visited small world tapas Friday night for dinner, and what a wonderful evening! The reviews don’t do it justice, the staff are so attentive, fun and incredibly kind, they showed us the best customer service I’ve ever seen from a restaurant. The food was delicious, the chefs demonstrated culinary excellence with a variety of rich and indulgent flavours, the portions were generous whilst maintaining a fantastic amount of flavour and cooked to perfection! I particularly enjoyed the scallops and beef brisket, if you are visiting I suggest getting both! (Pictures attached to review). To conclude this review I will say this is a wonderful place to go and cannot wait to return to Torquay to come again! We wanted to go back Sunday but they were closed until this evening which is a shame as today we are returning home, thank you all at small world, you made it such a wonderful experience.

Absolutely amazing food, the most friendly service, and all for great price. I couldn't recommend more. Usually there's only a few vegan options on a menu, but we were spoilt for choice! I'd give 6 stars if I could ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Transcendent experience. This place really goes above and beyond in its food, service, and atmosphere. Sarah, our waitress, was professional and engaging. She got you excited about the food.The food itself was amazing. Expertly crafted, thoughtful, and delicious. We ordered five dishes: 1. Molassas glazed aubergine - it reminded me of a japanese tempura but the aubergine was sliced into thin chips and the batter was thicker, they were like heavenly fries coupled with a tangy sweetness. 2. Stuffed courgette flowers - we have to order these whenever we see them on a menu. So delicate, crisp batter with a cream cheese filling. Could have done with slightly more salt but the juicy tenderness of the courgette was there. 3. Sweet potato and coconut curry - served inside the coconut shell, and with fresh coconut on top, the curry had a rich deepness to its sauce and lovely textures from the vegetables and rice. 4. Miso glazed ribs - I ordered this because it looked mouth-watering on other people's tables. The sauce was superb. However, the meat was a tad dry. You can go really deep down the rib rabbit hole in preparation and cooking methods and since this isn't a bbq joint I'll give them a pass. If I was to go again I'd order the skewers or meatballs or pork bites instead. 5. 50/50 squid - a great idea to combine squid cooked two ways, drizzled with oil and dotted with garlic mayo crispy, juicy, brilliant.The serving sizes were also surprisingly large for tapas. We took another meals worth home in takeaway. Come hungry!

Absolutely amazing food! They put on some specials for our all vegan group and the wine was clearly marked 'vegan'. The service was probably the best I have ever experienced in a restaurant. We will definitely be booking again.
