Paul Ainsworth at No.6
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
££££
Guests are put centre stage and are treated to a real experience at this restaurant set in a delightful Georgian townhouse. Paul Ainsworth has developed his own style over the years and the menus are a wonderful showcase for his considerable talents. The finest Cornish produce and well-honed classical techniques underpin the cooking, which is studded with playful creative touches – such as the brilliantly conceived "Yesterday's Scone" crossover course before dessert. Friendly, well-versed service helps to make your visit a memorable one.

Rick Stein's Café
Seafood, Asian Influences · Bib
££
It may look like a small terraced house from the outside, but this relaxed and popular part of the Rick Stein stable is a surprisingly spacious, nautically themed bistro with bright Cornish artwork on the walls and a compact enclosed terrace to the rear. The concise menu is largely inspired by Rick's travels around various parts of Asia combined with, of course, Cornish seafood. So you can expect the likes of Thai fishcakes, grilled miso salmon and Pondicherry cod curry. The service is cheery, while simply furnished yet comfortable bedrooms are available.

FOUR BOYS
Seafood
££
This is the kind of restaurant where you’re simply going to have a lovely time. Operated by its owner’s four sons, it’s a relaxed coastal café in vibe, with the efficient yet informal team running the show with ease. The menu is largely based around Cornish seafood and homemade pasta, and when they’re both as fresh and flavoursome as this, you can’t imagine wanting anything else. Farfalle with crab is a prime example, its perfectly judged hit of chilli skilfully enhancing the sweet meat. Try to grab a table on the terrace and order a glass of the fairly priced wine.

The Mariners
Traditional British
££
Part of the Paul Ainsworth stable, this large and popular pub is the ideal spot for some hearty British food while on your seaside holiday. You can arrive in the picturesque village of Rock via the ferry from Padstow, before grabbing a seat on the terrace which boasts stunning views over the Camel Estuary. The extensive menu is chock full of Cornish produce – be it cheddar, monkfish or mussels – with a seasonal menu sitting alongside 'Mariners Classics' such as shepherd's pie and fish & chips. For dessert, you can't go wrong with a crumble.

Caffè Rojano
Mediterranean Cuisine
££
Along with Rick Stein, Paul Ainsworth has come to define the Padstow food scene. This is his take on a lively Italian brasserie, where you'll find a good buzz from the contented holidaymakers. Well-executed pizzas and pastas form the core of the menu, but you'll also find Mediterranean-inspired fare such as Cornish cod with a pancetta and chorizo Tuscan bean stew. For dessert, opt for the intriguingly named signature 'Whoopsy Splunker'. The glass-enclosed terrace is a great spot on a sunny summer's day.

Prawn on the Lawn
Seafood
££
If you like seafood then you’ll love this cosy little seafood bar, where tasty, tapas-style small plates are the order of the day. It may be compact but the charming team make it great fun and create a laid-back vibe. Choose from the range of fresh, tasty, well-prepared dishes chalked on the blackboards; they even offer whole fish sharing plates, but be aware this can push the bill up.

The Seafood Restaurant
seafood
£££
Over 50 years since it opened, this stylish, laid-back local institution, dominated by its large pewter-topped bar, is still the place to come for a fresh taste of the sea. Prime fish and shellfish are showcased in their simple glory in pared-back dishes such as market fish of the day or a fruits de mer platter, while others are inspired by Rick Stein's travels around the world, such as Indonesian seafood curry or Singapore chilli crab. New England-style bedrooms boast quality furnishing and some have terraces or balconies with estuary views.
