More Great places to eat in West Cornwall

St-Michael's-Mount-Marazion
St Michael’s Mount seems to float in Mounts Bay at high tide with Penzance and Newlyn edging the bay

Marazion

There are quite a few places to choose from in Marazion – it is the next coastal village to Perranuthnoe along the edge of Mounts Bay but while is wonderful to stroll along the coastal footpath in the day time, a car or taxi is essential at night.
When parking, check that the car park you choose isn’t locked at night – two of our guest had to make a get-away along the beach once when they found they were locked in!
For a celebration I’d choose……

The King’s Arms

The cosy Dining Room

A delightful traditional cornish pub with tables overflowing into the square in Marazion.
Great value and delicious food!

We enjoyed a birthday supper watching the world go by in Marazion in the country smart Dining room – booking is essential though!

Copper Spoon


For cafe culture with Vegan and Vegetarian options the Copper spoon has a big following. It is located just beside the alley to Marazion harbour for the higher boat landings.

The Godolphin Arms

Places to eat with great views and supper for two overlooking St Michael's Mount
A sharing fish platter overlooking the beach

We followed the beach slip and then approached from the sea terrace chose a chic little table on a perspex fronted terrace. There we watched the beach walkers and young lovers, gig rowers and yachts, prancing dogs and gambling children, along with the returning tide, over a sharing fish platter for two.

“Foreign parts m’dear”
Local saying

If, like me you like a fabulous location as part of the Dining experience, then nothing beats a drive to one of historic Cornish harbours – try Penzance, Porthleven and Mousehole. All of these are within a fifteen to twenty minutes drive of the luxury B&B at Ednovean Farm.

Ludgvan

The White Hart

Tucked under the church walls in the pretty village of  Ludgvan and full of atmosphere – only I remember visiting it when it had just got modern electricity!

The Logan Rock Inn

I love this simple and unpretentious pub which is just as a country pub should be and oozing character. The Logan rock on the coast is not far from The Minack theatre in a charmingly unspoilt  village. Pick a spot at a table in one of the labyrinth of little rooms and enjoy traditional pub food a great prices. We sometimes park at Treen and then walk across the fields to the sea – we took the photo above one January day!

The Gurnard’s Head

Sleek professional operation set on the moors above the sea on the Lands End to St Ives coast road. A Dream coastal pub after an enchanting drive across the moors and you may even spot the odd Porsche in the car park

Open every day, except 24 and 25 December.

More info http://gurnardshead.co.uk/ Tel 01736 796 928

Zennor

atmospheric cornish pub after dark

The Tinners Arms

An atmospheric 13th-Century tucked under the moors with views down to the sea. There’s a cosy pub interior with log burning stove and an extensive outdoor garden for Dining al fresco in summer months. We visited at the beginning of winter and where would be better to listen to a Cornish gale than cocooned in the warmth of the deep stone walls.

More info https://tinnersarms.com/

St Ives

The Porthminster Beach Cafe

View across St Ives bay from beach - summer memory

For a special occasion this chic little restaurant can’t beaten. Smart in a seasidy sort of way with window tables looking down on to the beach in the restaurant or Mediterranean style cafe tables on the open terrace. It’s worth asking for a window sea when booking for people watching the families on the beach slowly give way to young lovers walking hand in hand on the tideline in the dusk. The cafe once scored a perfect ten out of ten from the Telegraph restaurant critic. Look out for their artistic cookbook for a pre dinner present to tantalise that special someone!

When the evenings grow colder and the nights close in there is a Pub supper for all seasons here in West Cornwall.

I hope that’s helped your holiday decisions about where to eat and don’t forget the best restaurant can be the one you stumble upon, at just the right moment at the end of a perfect day!

P.S don’t forget to tell me for my little black book!
