Fabulous! Menu superb! Staff Friendly, lots of seating outside either a view of St Peter Port. Very chilled vibes at lunchtime. We had oysters which were amazing then crab and lobster stew, wow! Definitely a place to go if you love seafood. Then you can pop down to the small beach there for a swim or paddle. Definitely a must if you're there for a short stay and away from all the crowds.

Octopus Restaurant - Guernsey 4th March 2023 - 1.30pm reservation.The Octopus restaurant is terrific ! The views across the bay are idealic, the food and service fantastic....giving you plenty if time to enjoy your food (service is slower.than normal restaurant's, but that's refreshing and relaxing)...nothing worse than being rushed ! We booked ahead as it was BUSY !!Spur of the moment, popped across to Guernsey from Poole for the day on the Condor Liberation. Great crossing, good value, quick (ish) and gave us 4.5hrs free time onnthe island. Guernsey is a lovely place, clean and trouble free with good shops (they don't open Sundays!!).Thanks for a great, we really had a lovely time and would definitely recommend visiting the restaurant. We will be back !!ThanksJulian & Amanda

First class service and the seafood was out of this world. Fresh, local seafood. Even got to choose which lobster we wanted. We took our 4 year old and he was welcomed and entertained throughout the evening. Highly recommended.

The staff are absolutely fantastic! 5starI went alone as I am here working, the menu was explained to me in great detail.You can choose and see the lobsters and fish on display.The fish I ordered was on display so I could see the thickness or if you wanted a thinner or flat fish this was here for you to choose.I had the Turbot, cooked to perfection with lemon and potatoes.Absolutely sublime.I really recommend it and it has a great atmosphere.The staff are very welcoming and engaging.

Best restaurant in Guernsey. Had heard lots of mixed reviews regarding service and waiting times but honestly nicest meal we have had. We shared a cote de beouf and it had been aged for 66 days (since before Corona!) And it was quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. Service was great and everything went very smoothly. My only criticism and it is a small one is we didnt get an ocean view table and when I asked there were none available and so in future if they made the booking selection add an option to specify if you would like a an ocean view. Other than that it was truly superb!

Worth every one of the 5*. Attentive service. Amazing backdrop onto illuminated castle.well lit restaurant and many very happy guests.Food also didn't disappoint at all. Scallops and oyster starters were fabulous. My spicy casserole of fish and whole crab was devine. Recommended stay... 2 hours of your life very well spent.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while and definitely the best lobster I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly, soft and juicy - not rubbery at all. The steak was perfectly medium rare, tender and grilled nicely on the outside. The location also can’t be beat - on the beach, overlooking the castle.
