Padstow

Rick Stein has four restaurants in Padstow, The Seafood Restaurant, St Petroc's Bistro, Rick Stein's Café and Stein’s Fish & Chips. He also has a pub in St Merryn called The Cornish Arms and their latest venture Rick Stein's Fish & Seafood Bar in Falmouth.

All are fabulous and serve mouth wateringly tasty dishes. For a special occasion, try The Seafood Restaurant... pricey, but well worth splashing out.
If you are on more of a budget, but still want fantastic seafood, try Ricks Steins Cafe. A small, but beautiful restaurant, which serves the best salt and pepper prawns in the world!

The pub is also well worth a visit... great local beers and hearty, rustic food at reasonable prices.
