A carefully created and creative menu, showing off the very best of the homegrown produce, from veg to meat. Depending on which menu you choose, there are four or five dishes, which extends to the magnificent Sunday lunches. The restaurant is inside one of the converted barns, so think fine dining-ish, but with a sophisticated Cornish farm twist. The team's efforts were rewarded with a Green Michelin Star just a month after opening, and then again with its first Michelin Star in 2024.

Famed for its chewy sourdough bread Coombeshead's reputation far precedes it, which continues to grow ever since it began in 2016. The bread is so well-loved, it's used around Cornwall (including Four Boys) as well as in top restaurants in London. Owners Tom Adams and April Bloomfield, both formerly of Pitt Cue, founded a disused dairy down winding lanes in the middle of Cornwall and into one of the county's hottest farm-to-fork tables that have been hard to get.

Outlaw's New Road, the fine dining restaurant that's been named best in the county by The Good Food Guide more than once and also has a Michelin Star. It was once just a tasting menu, but there's now an a la carte option available, though just at lunchtime. The tasting menu is built around seafood with nine courses, which if the food isn't impressive enough, the views over the dramatic cliffs outside will seal the deal.

Fish Kitchen, the former 15th-century fisherman's cottage is honoring its roots by serving seafood that's landed opposite its front door where the fishing boats come in, and where the fish market is. Here Nathan was serving small dishes in 2013 before it became the phenomenon it is now. The menu is created with whatever comes in from the catch, and each is delicately paired with simple ingredients so they all sing.

One of Cornwall's newest restaurants, set up by brothers, George (front of house) and Alfie Turner (in the kitchen). It overlooks the Camel estuary in Rock and as soon as the sun peeks out, half of the restaurant's canvas covering is rolled back. With the combination of the view, setting, and food there are few other places you'll want to be.

Retaining a Michelin star for over a decade is no small feat, but it's exactly what Paul and Emma Ainsworth have done, and have certainly managed to find their niche in Padstow. The duo opened inside the Georgian townhouse in 2005 and offers just a tasting menu, with dishes like creel caught langoustines with Iberian ham mousseline or dry-aged pigeon. It's outstanding fine dining with service to match. The team prides itself in using the best of what growers and producers are creating around it.

As its name suggests, it's all about fish, and like many other restaurants, there are plenty of Asian flavors from mirin, to pickled cucumber, sesame, and soy. It's so proud of its working relationships with local fishermen and other producers are named on menus and blackboards at any opportunity. As exciting as the seafood is, a visit isn't complete without ordering the crushed spiced potatoes which are well worth writing home about.

Forget any pretenses of formalities here, this is essentially a beach hut tucked into the dunes of Porthcurnick Beach in the little village of Porthscatho. There's a handful of benches to sit at and little else. There's no booking, but the long queues tell you it's well worth the wait when it comes to the food. Its signature dish is the coconut and chickpea dal, topped with crispy shallots, raita, pickled onions, and flatbread, and other dishes likely include beef chili and big seasonal salads.

Small but perfectly formed, the Verdant Seafood Bar has bags of personality packed into the little venue. It's also an easy restaurant to spot owing to the near-guaranteed queue that will likely have formed outside. There's a no-bookings policy, but you'll be able to order a drink while you wait in line. It's also a tap room, so beers hail from its brewery and change regularly, and the menu is full of local creations.

After a huge renovation in 2023, the pub reopened and has become part of village life again, hosting events and music nights including local sea shanty groups. In winter, two open fires at each end of the pub keep it cozy and make it a place to while away a Sunday with the pub's superb roast dinner. In the summertime, take a pew outside and watch the ferries and water bob past. Like the Verdant Seafood Bar, it's one of few places that serves local native oysters. Open for breakfast.

It's kept its family-friendly attitude, but what was once a kid's playroom, has now made way for the restaurant to grow not only in size but in appearance too as its warm tones and woven furniture give it a sophisticated coastal look. The kitchen has benefited from a Josper grill allowing for plenty of creativity on the menu, where there's the new addition of small plates like duck bao buns with Asian slaw,and hoisin, partially oysters (either tempura or classic), and seared tuna with wasabi.

As one of the UK's largest fishing ports and the biggest in Cornwall, the walls of Newlyn Harbor are one of the worthiest locations for a fish restaurant. That's exactly the opportunity Newlyn fishmonger Richard Adams and Rochelle Canteen alumni chef Ben Coomb spotted and have created themselves. So instead of farm to fork, the idea here is very much boat to fork, and with views over the marina, you can practically see the catch coming in before it ends up on your plate.

It's a relative newcomer to town but has become one of its most exciting tables to book. If the weather allows it, sit outside on the little terrace which looks directly over the beach and is a perfect spot to watch the sun go down later in the evening. The food has an Asian streak running through it, often specifically Korean flavors, with the likes of dishes such as hake collar with gochujang ketchup, along with other dishes being peppered with ingredients such as kimchi and wakame seaweed.
