The Waddling Duck

The Waddling Duck is a well-regarded bistro and café in Babbacombe, Torquay's visitor-friendly neighbourhood near the seafront. Dogs are welcome inside the bar area, making it a practical stop if you're exploring the cliffs and beach nearby.

The bar space gives you somewhere warm and welcoming to settle with your dog between walks. The restaurant dining room is off-limits for dogs, but the bar keeps you and your dog together over coffee, food or a drink.

It's the kind of neighbourhood spot where you won't feel rushed and you can take time to rest tired paws. Babbacombe's proximity to clifftop paths and the harbour makes this a useful base for a longer day out.
