There are of course places to eat in Cornwall at every turn, but we’ve listed a few nearby that we like.
- The Wheelhouse (Falmouth) – excellent seafood (they serve nothing else!) and an atmospheric dining area. Very popular though, so book at least a couple of weeks in advance.
- Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant (Falmouth)
- Potager Garden and Glasshouse Cafe (Falmouth)
- Gylly Beach Cafe and Restaurant (Falmouth)
- The Beerwolf (Falmouth) – we haven’t tried the food here, but it’s a nice pub in the centre of Falmouth, with a bookshop inside.
- Pandora Inn (Mylor Bridge) – a beautiful thatched inn overlooking the creek. In good weather you can eat outside surrounded by swans.
- The Waterside – a tiny restaurant right on the quay where the Falmouth/ Flushing ferries dock. Absolutely perfect food and service when we were there at the beginning of April 2014 (you can just see it to the far left of the below photo – looks like a shed)
- Seven Stars Pub (Flushing) – a relaxed little pub with a view of Falmouth across the channel. It’s also round the corner from the Flushing to Falmouth Ferry, so we usually stop here for a pint of cider on our way back to Mylor.
- Cornish Range Restaurant (Mousehole) – wonderful food and service, hidden away in the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced Mowzul). There’s not much to do in Mousehole (read nothing to do) but it’s full of character and very pretty, and the famous harbour is a perfect spot to sit and read, or watch fishermen bringing in their haul. It’s also a good base for the coastal walks West to Lamorna, or further if you’re feeling intrepid.
