Eating Out

Cornwall is famous for the Cornish Pasty, clotted cream and scones, but these foods are just the tip of the iceberg. Cornwall offers a wide range of cuisines with a complete cross section of restaurants to suit every taste and budget. Surrounded by the sea, Cornwall is noted for its fresh seafood such as local crab, succulent mussels and fresh lobster. What could be nicer than sitting on a cliff with a spectacular view, eating traditional fish and chips that were landed that morning. World-renowned chefs have located restaurants in Cornwall to be close to the abundance of our quality, fresh, local produce.
