St Petroc's is another restaurant from Rick Stein's stables, and this one is an informal delight. It's set away from Padstow harbour, which gives it a more chilled-out feel.
The relaxed bistro serves French-inspired dishes, made from fine Cornish produce - naturally, there's always a choice of freshly landed fish. There's a children's menu, and your dog is welcome to join you at St Pet's - well in the outdoors areas anyway.
Start or end the evening with a cocktail at Ruby's Bar...

With a postcode that puts it in Bude's town centre, Potters is a big hit with both holidaymakers and locals alike. And with a menu that works in sync with the changing seasons, it's well worth a visit for fresh flavours all year round.
Bude-born flavours are on the cards at dinner, on both its seasonal tasting menus and a la carte options. And, with a spot on the Michelin Guide, you know you're in for a good meal.
Good to know: The tasting menu can be adjusted for vegetarian...

Feed serves fabulous street food and excellent coffee from its small unit in the Old Foundry Chapel in the middle of town. There's usually a queue (this place is loved), but it's always worth the wait.
Start your day by picking up a breakfast box to eat on the beach, or roll up a bit later for coffee and pastries. For lunch, try a bagel or a taco, and Feed must be one of the only places in West Cornwall to serve an authentic Philly Steak.
Feed has a sister eaterie, The Secret...

Head out of town to the village of Mitchell, home to dining pun The Plume of Feathers. This former coaching inn dates back to the 16th century, and still has a welcoming old-world feel. Choose from the cosy bar with its log fire, the airy conservatory, and The Plume's pretty gardens.
Chef Andrew Dudley creates modern British menus using fresh Cornish ingredients. Look out for favourite local suppliers like Baker Tom's Bread, Callestick Farm ice cream and Fish For Thought seafood. The...

This traditional pub in nearby St Merryn brings together two giants of the Cornish hospitality world: St Austell Brewery and Rick Stein. It serves pub favourites - but with Mr Stein overseeing the menu, you can imagine the quality of the traditional fish & chips, burgers and curries.
A top tip is to book in for a weekend breakfast. This is served between 8 and 9am Saturdays and Sundays only. If you’re planning a day walking or on the water, come here...

The Rick Stein Cafe is located in what feels like the bright and airy cottage living room in the middle of Padstow - which is more or less what it is. As part of the Padstein empire you are certain to get quality, innovative food, but this has been combined with a casual dining experience and reasonable pricing.
The cafe has earned itself a reputation as one of the best spots in Padstow to fill up on a top-notch breakfast before a day's exploring. Whilst the full English cooked...

On the way into Mousehole is the Old Coastguard is Hotel. This is long been a favourite of locals and visitors alike, and retains an upmarket feel with a hint of nautical shabby chic thrown in.
The main dining area is split off into smaller sections for a more intimate feel, but it is the al fresco setup that sets the Old Coastguard apart. Step outside into a sunny terrace and a wonderfully large garden area with uninterrupted views out over Mounts Bay - the perfect spot for a summer...

It's the perfect day: relaxing in Penzance's beautiful Art Deco lido, with a break for lunch on the sunny terrace.
There's dining indoors and out at the Jubilee Pool, which serves breakfast and lunch, as well as delicious locally made cakes. Enjoy a plate of mackerel or some Cornish cheeses as you gaze down at the pool or out across Mount's Bay.
After your swim, head here for a chilled glass of wine or a hot coffee, depending on your...

That name… There's nowhere quite like the Rum & Crab Shack near the harbour in St Ives. It was established in 2012 by four friends who loved, naturally, drinking rum and eating crab; and 100 types of rum later, it's one of the town's best-loved venues.
Yes, a love of cracking claws and drinking grog helps, but there's also a good choice of chicken, veggie and vegan dishes. Not a rum drinker? Check out the cocktail menu. However, visiting pirates should grab a tot of the house rums...

The Cove Restaurant is a stone's throw from Maenporth Beach and dinner here's served with postcard-perfect views right across Falmouth Bay.
A stylish fairy-light lit terrace offers cosy al fresco dining, while floor-to-ceiling windows make sure you don't miss out on the view if you're seated indoors.
The southwest's star chef Michael Caines is at the helm here, and in typical Cornish style...

This splendid cafe is just east of Penzance, near Gulval. Tremenheere Kitchen sits in a beautiful new building at the entrance to Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (a Penzance must-visit), and is open every day from ten until three.
The food is made from local ingredients, and beautifully cooked. The lively outside area is a favourite brunch and coffee stop among locals (and their pups). If you'd prefer to sprawl on the lawn,...

A keen favourite with locals and visitors alike, Box & Barber sits a stone's throw from Newquay Harbour. Healthy breakfast bowls come with fresh fruits that burst with colour, they make for a great way to kick start your day before heading to the nearby beach.
Breakfast burritos rate highly here, too, plus there's plenty of choice for veggies and vegans. Or if you're after something light, coffee and cake to go is a great option. If you're sticking around though, the front terrace...

This much-loved little cafe is tucked away down a side street in the centre of Penzance. It's a favourite spot for breakfast, lunch, or simply catching up over a coffee, and in the summer, it's open Friday and Saturday evenings, too.
The food is homemade and local, with a great emphasis on sustainable and seasonal. During the lockdown in 2020, The Honey Pot started to serve gorgeous, homemade ready meals, which were so popular that they still sell them.
But let's be honest....

A pair of Cornish icons join forces at this place, Fistral Beach is one of Newquay's most-loved swathes and Rick Stein is a big name on its foodie scene.
Chip shop classics are the main event here, with cod, lemon sole, and plaice plates all rating highly. But, if a chippy tea isn't taking your fancy there's an Asian menu that just might. Goan chicken curry, pad Thai and Pondicherry cod curry are all for the taking here, too.
Get ahead of the game and order your meal on the...

Family-run Fat Apples is situated less than a minutes' drive from Porthallow Beach. A small cafe is joined by a back-to-basics campsite that spreads through an old Cornish woodland.
It's all about home cooked food here, with local butchers, bakers and fishermen providing the produce. Things kick off with breakfast, which lines up a full-English option and veggie and vegan additions. Snacks and...
