Can’t decide where to try first? We’ve picked out a few of our favourite places to eat in Cornwall this autumn.
Fine dining with even finer views, Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant features Italian inspired dishes and beautiful panoramic views of Watergate Bay. Each meal tells its own story of outstanding produce and exceptional craftsmanship - great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
A trip to Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the fantastic seafood on offer – so, visiting Rick Stein’s harbourside restaurant in Padstow is a must. The catch of the day has one of the shortest journeys, from the quay to the kitchen and the central seafood bar is great for experimenting with one of Cornwall’s most famous delicacies.
Situated on the outskirts of Constantine, The Waymarker is a fantastic hidden gem. Whether you’re popping in for a three-course meal or a delicious Cornish cream tea (we recommend the chocolate chip and baileys scones) the quality of the food and service is incredible.
