The best restaurants Southwest

The room on the first floor, probably calmer, offers a pretty view of the bay and the port, if you look a little! At the walls, exhibition of local artists. As for the service, it exhibits delicious homemade cakes. Excellent reception.

A large window, small round tables on the terrace, a sifted light, Coolings offers a cheap and friendly stopover for hungry travellers. Food, typical of English pubs, is not surprising, but it's mainly a lively atmosphere.

Since 1800, the bakers have come to this location. Bob and Sandra went back to the store in 1983 and they didn't déméritent since. This is a very good family bakery which, unlike its name, does not burn bread!

Indian restaurant with an important map, for all tastes. A beautiful interior in Georgian style, but it is worth a visit.

Not far from the Headland Hotel on the tip of Newquay, The Fish House is one of the best seafood restaurants in the area. The produce is fresh and refined, as is often the case in Cornwall. On the menu: fish & chips, cod, sea bream, sole and scallops in a variety of world flavors, always with a meat dish and a vegetarian option. A good option that differs from the local pub restaurants. Also worth noting is the friendly welcome and professional service.
