The Kyn

Directly opposite Torquay beach, The Kyn dishes up vibrant Middle Eastern-inspired sharing plates beneath sunny yellow umbrellas. Regulars flock to the breezy Esplanade patio for cured kingfish paired with ezme, leek-and-feta croquettes, and slow-cooked beef cheeks over hummus. Diners skip the ordering debate altogether by settling into the multi-course 'Feed Me' chef selection. Cocktails take their cues from literature—a nod to the building's former life as a local library—while post-dinner service keeps the focus strictly chilled, omitting tea and coffee in favor of another round.
