Memories Bistro - Reserva de mesa

As soon as we walked into Memories, we were greeted by friendly faces but a terrible smell. It reminded me of my university days working in a care home for the elderly - stale, musty, and unpleasant. Despite this, we decided to give it a chance and continued with our meal. We were surprised to find that we were the only ones in the restaurant in the week leading up to Christmas, which was a stark difference from a year ago when you had to book weeks in advance. The menu had changed significantly, and we tried a dish called 'chicken cheese cakes' on the owner's recommendation. Unfortunately, the starters were disappointing - the chicken cheese cakes were tasteless and unappetizing. My husban...

I understand that Jessie is just starting out and I wish her all the success. I would like to provide some constructive feedback in the hopes of helping the restaurant improve. Jessie, consider wearing more professional attire instead of a hat and jumper while cooking. Also, take down the nets on the windows to make the restaurant look more inviting and open. I enjoyed the noodle, pea, and carrot side dish, but felt that there should be more options available. The portion was small and I would have preferred potatoes and vegetables. The new staff should be properly trained and introduced before guests are seated. My overall experience felt more like dining at a friend's house rather than a...

The vintage advertising signs give memories a distinct look, made more special by a warm welcome from chef Jess. My wife passed on a starter as she wanted a desert. I had the King Prawns stir fried in garlic, lemon, parsley Butter as a starter and they were delicious. For a main course I had Salmon fillets with garlic lemon pepper sauce which again were just so, so tasty. My wife had Sea Bass, simply cooked to bring out the freshness of the fish from Brixham. My wife ordered the Baileys White Chocolate Pudding and I really intended not to have a dessert, but the Tia Maria Rum dark chocolate pudding was too good to pass up. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive without being o...

Reviews looked brill but what a disappointment. Fish was cooked well but served with the strangest assortment of veg fried onions and carrots grated and cold. Chips were cooked in really old fat and tasted poor. The lady was cooking serving and washing up . Also when you are paying what they were charging you don’t expect the plates to be scrapped in front of you. As the lady was very pleasant and on her own didn’t want to complain as she may have been doing her best but I would not recommend from our experience a very poor meal at a fairly top end price Reserva una mesa ahora

Our main course arrived after 2 hours and 10 minutes of waiting (the restaurant was not busy and there was only 1 lady doing service and cooking) We were expecting rice as side dish and we received vegetables instead because “the menu was not updated” without informing us before ordering. The couple close to our table left because after the long waiting they receive the wrong dishes and the staff tried to give the false hope that everything will be ready in 10 minutes….. Food was okay but the service was terrible and affected the whole night out. AVOID

Our first experience at Memories on a Saturday evening was met with few other diners, but we were warmly welcomed by Jessie, the only staff member working that night. She prepared delicious meals for us and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation with her, learning that she had taken over the restaurant in January. Although the ambiance wasn't bustling, the food and service were excellent. A visit to support Jessie's business in Torbay is definitely recommended. We look forward to returning!

We had a lovely meal in this restaurant yesterday There is lots of interesting decorations from the past and Jess was very welcoming nothing was to much trouble. We ate starters and main courses as was to full to enjoy one of the deserts. Everyone in our group of 4 finished their plates as the food was very scrumptious I had the salt and pepper squid for Starters followed by a fillet steak Can’t wait to visit again next time we are in the area Thanks for a great night
