Local acts take to the stage a couple of times a week, so be sure to head over to the restaurant's insta to check the line-up and grab a table.

This welcoming little place on Mitchell Hill is both a dining pub and a good spot for a drink or two. It's such a cosy and inviting place, that it's hard to believe that the 200 year old building was a deserted shell until just a few years ago when Tom and Katie took it on.
Today, the Truro pub serves modern British food, specialising in local ingredients. Tuck into hearty dishes like loin of beef or pan-fried pigeon, or look out for the special catch of the day, typically served with...

Come to Padstow's popular Caffè Rojano for Italian and Spanish-inspired dishes, served in a lively atmosphere. Choose from pizzas, tapas-style small plates, and delicious takes on real favourites like slow-cooked beef ragu.
Rojano is named after its original owner, local character Stan Rojano, who opened his restaurant here in 1974. It's now run by the Paul Ainsworth family; however, chef Sam Smith's Mediterranean menu pays homage to Stan's original family recipes.

This smart building stands on South Quay in Padstow. The food is mostly classic British, made from the best Cornish ingredients. The combination of good food and a standout location makes The Old Custom House a popular spot.
It's also much-loved for its range of beers and wines, which includes some gorgeous choices from local vineyard, Camel Valley. The Old Custom House is also a top spot for a coffee, from 11 am onwards.

Set down in one of Cornwall's most iconic coves, this beach cafe has been running since 1927. The original building this family run cafe sits in was purchased by the National Trust back in 1999. They fitted a water supply and helped to fit solar roof panels for electricity.
The menu offers plenty to graze on – freshly prepped sarnies and baguettes, jacket potatoes and pastries are all on the cards, while local suppliers provide those with a sweet tooth with pastries and ice cream....

You guessed it, Kota Kai is Kota's sister restaurant, and chef Jude's more-than-capable hands are at the helm here too. Both the restaurant and its menu are more laidback, which means you can taste his signature flavours without stepping too far out the box.
Burgers and fish chips are on the line-up, as well as oyster, mussels and steak dishes, too.
Good to know: Dining with little ones can be tricky, but Kota Kai has you covered...

With its exposed beams and granite walls, The Loft has an elegant rustic-chic interior, opening out into its covered terrace. The artists' quarter in St Ives is a lovely location for this laid-back restaurant, giving diners views over the rooftops and house jumble of the town, down towards the harbour.
There's a good choice on the menu - look out for their speciality, the chowder, or try the 24-hour braised beef cheek. This being St Ives, there's always good fish on the menu, and if...

Restaurant MINE is pitched just off Falmouth High Street in the Old Brewery Yard. Things are pretty small scale inside here, but fear not there's more seating on the cobbles on the restaurant's doorstep.
The menu's typically Cornish with pan-roasted trout and crab fritters both firm favourites. The intimate dining settings just about a laidback as going for dinner around an old pal's house. While an open kitchen means you can watch as your dish is prepared right in front of you.

If you enjoy both modern and traditional dining, come to The Alverton for a contemporary take on classic food. Their Sunday lunches are a sophisticated version of this much-loved ritual, while their elegant afternoon teas are a must.
You don't need to be staying at The Alverton to tuck into their generous brunches (although the rooms in this country house style hotel are lovely). Take lunch on the sunny terrace, or book a table in the AA rosette-awarded restaurant, which overlooks the...

Mr B's was launched in 2004, and has since become a real Hayle institution. The current owners run two ice cream parlours, one at either end of town, and both are incredibly popular.
The ices combine classic Italian gelato flavourings with local Cornish ingredients, and some really bold combinations. Come here if you like your ice cream to zing with flavours and cheerfully bright colours; and if you love toppings and sprinkles, this is the place to be.
As well as ice creams, Mr...

The Halzephron Inn is pitched a stone's throw from the beach fishing village of Gunwalloe right on the Lizard Peninsula.
Al fresco dining comes with top-notch views whether you're sat front or back. The courtyard and beer garden at the rear offers vistas of rolling fields and countryside, while out front picnic tables provide a look at Mounts Bay – it's Cornwall's biggest bay.
A stock of fresh fish is delivered to the restaurant daily, while a local butcher provides the menu...

If you've been exploring the dunes, rock pools and cliffs of Godrevy, you can't leave without popping into this lovely little cafe. You'll spot the chalet-style building at the edge of the sand dunes in the National Trust car park.
It's the perfect place for a cooling drink or a warming hot chocolate (delete according to season), and the clientele is a friendly mix of walkers, surfers and everyone who loves a good cup of coffee. The menu is modern and lively, and you can choose from...

If you want to start the day with a good breakfast, Scoff Troff is the place to come. There’s always a great buzz here in the mornings, as it’s a popular breakfast, brunch and coffee stop for both locals and visitors.
The owners have travelled widely, and even the breakfast menu reflects that, with Aussie toast, Turkish eggs and Belgian waffle stacks (and of course, a full English). Look out for local produce on the lunch menu, such as crab nachos or bangers and mash.

This old Fore Street pub has become a famous film set. It stars as the local in ITV's Doc Martin and plays itself in the film about the Fisherman's Friends. It's also a good place to enjoy a pint of St Austell's finest, overlooking Port Isaac harbour.
Inside, the 18th-century rooms are traditional and cosy - just the place for a hearty meal on a cooler evening. However, when the sun's out, try to grab a spot on the balcony terrace, which has those coveted sea views.

The Mote is an elegantly rustic restaurant in Port Isaac's central Fore Street. Like most places around here, it specialises in freshly caught fish dishes, with the seafood coming straight off the boats in the morning.
The meat, charcuterie, cheese, vegetables and bread served at The Mote all come from this part of Cornwall. However, if you're fancying seafood, try their fish pie or Korev-battered fish.
Its location near the harbour couldn't be better, and the atmosphere is...
