Fowey Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: Associated with London foodie hits Primeur and Westerns Laundry, this three-year-old favourite, which occupies a former bank, continues to inspire high ratings for its food. It’s a seasonal operation, which closes each year between late Autumn and mid Spring.

2023 Review: “A gorgeous spot to eat tasty food while watching the sea”, this former Victorian lifeboat station has been transformed under Sam Sixton, who launched his local dining empire at the age of 17, back in 1988 (his son Noah is now part of the team). The “casual” menu runs from “wonderful fresh fish and seafood” to “tasty pizzas with both traditional and unusual toppings”.

“Delightful small restaurant opposite the church, serving delicious food and a carefully curated, fairly priced range of wines” – for fifteen years, Graham & Sally Cuthbertson’s elegant dining room has provided a “really outstanding all-round experience” (“we’ll definitely be back”).

“Excellent food, great service, and good value for money” wins attention for this super, small bistro – a bright, casual modern space with open kitchen. Top Menu Tip – “The soufflé for dessert is amazing!”

2023 Review: Down by the quayside, this cute pub is tipped for “fish that’s obviously as fresh as you can get, and an excellent seafood platter” from amongst its other more typically pub grub offerings.

“Stunning” harbour views elevate a visit to this “very large and busy restaurant right on the waterfront” – a refreshingly “unpretentious” spot that was set up by local lad Benjamin Palmer in 2018. The small or big plates feature some “excellent fish cookery”, but really everything (including the Sunday roast) is just “so tasty”.

“A new venture in 2023 in one of this fishing village‘s back streets. It is somewhat hard to find, but worth the effort. Simple decor and menu which features the local fish catch. Nothing fancy, but simplicity is all sometimes” – one reporter says it all regarding this recent arrival a short stroll from the harbour.
