Today’s Times lists the following, which we like too:
Alvorada, Mevagissey – the Portuguese owner gets up at 4 am to fish. Prices start around £28 for a main. Sardines are a specialty! 01726 842055
Barley Sheaf, Gorran Churchtown – The chef at this pub, Tim Kendall, trained under Michael Roux and Marcus Wareing. Two-course set dinner for £40 is not cheap but good. thebarleysheafgorran.co.uk
The Longstore, Charlestown – overlooks the ancient tall-ships harbour with naturally aged Cornish steaks for £31. thelongstore.co.uk
Sams on the Beach, Polkerris – in an old lifeboat station. Pizzas from a wood-fired oven £13.95. Parking in the roomy car park on the hill. Daphne du Maurier country. samscornwall.co.uk
Edie’s, Carlyon Bay – The chef, Nigel Brown, trained under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. Don’t expect coastal views but enjoy hake with golden beetroot and herb yoghurt for £24. edies.restaurant
