Crab Shed Salcombe is a vibrant quayside seafood restaurant, located on the picturesque Salcombe harbour in South Devon. We are open daily for lunch from 12 - 2:30 and dinner from 6 - 8.30, and recommend pre-booking to ensure a table with a view. Our stylish yet relaxed restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy fresh, locally sourced fish and shellfish, including our speciality - 100% hand-picked local crab meat.
As a dog-friendly establishment, all are welcome to dine in our light and airy restaurant or al fresco on the terrace, taking in the stunning views of Salcombe harbour. Our menu changes regularly to reflect the best of the local catch, but rest assured that our crab is always a standout choice. Sustainably harvested by local day fishing boats, our crab is landed on the quayside right by the Crab Shed, where it is cooked and hand-picked on site to ensure the highest quality and freshness.
