From Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen in the heart of Port Isaac to Outlaw’s New Road restaurant at the top of the village, this is fresh fish served with respect.
Pilchards, Port Gaverne
Distance from Tom’s Cottage: 2 miles
Affiliated to the Port Gaverne Hotel (see pubs above), this is no regular beach café – it’s contempary in style and menu. Specialities: seafood & tapas
The Mote, Port Isaac

Right down on The Platt (harbourside), another establishment that prides itself on sourcing the best of local produce.
Rick Stein, Padstow

- The Seafood Restaurant – the original, famed establishment. Exemplary service matching the quality of food and wine. Book in advance for a special occasion.
- St Petroc’s Bistro – our preference for something special without going overboard.
- Rick Stein’s Café – open daytime and evening, family friendly
- Stein’s Fish and Chips – the car park end of the harbour, amazing menu (we love the mackerel); queues likely at peak times.
