5 of our must-see (and eat) restaurants in Cornwall

Watering Hole – Perranporth

Being the UK’s only bar & restaurant on the beach, we couldn’t not give this special venue a mention.  The Watering Hole has a casual and varied menu to cater for all tastes ranging from light snacks to hearty meals and on Sundays check out its smoking hot BBQ.

Waterfront – Polzeath

Boasting panoramic views from the terrace, this ticks the box for a meal with a view or a chilled glass of wine whilst the sun goes down. A taste of Polzeath themed menu with a selection of seafood dishes and local nosh. 

Lusty Glaze – Newquay

This restaurant is a hidden gem, nestled away in a privately owned cove. A large open decking is spot on for soaking up those rays, even on those wintery days the large floor – to-roof window makes for that sought after view. If dietary needs are important then this menu was designed with you in mind.
