££Farm to table
Hidden away in an attractive courtyard, this rustic little bistro is well worth the climb up the steep High Street. It’s a cosy, welcoming place, where the informality contributes to a light buzz among the contented diners. An open kitchen allows for a good view of the classic, well-crafted cooking, which takes the form of a concise, regularly changing à la carte which relies on local produce. You'd do well to start with the fabulous crab fritter and end with the honey cake.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.7/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Falmouth, MINE emphasizes farm-to-table dining and holds a 4.7/5 rating from 80 reviews. Food quality is the standout feature, with praise for local seasonal ingredients and dishes like mushroom pâté and trout. Service is generally friendly and attentive, including allergy management. However, the small space limits privacy and atmosphere, with some noting noise from neighboring tables. While the cuisine is highly regarded, portion sizes are small, leading to mixed feedback on value for money. It suits diners prioritizing culinary excellence over spaciousness.
Ideal for diners prioritizing ingredient quality and culinary skill over spaciousness.

The open kitchen takes centre stage at this old quayside warehouse where provenance and seasonality are of utmost important to the chefs. Each dish on the set menu is named after the inspiration behind it, be it a local farmer or place – such as 'William's Grains' or 'Terras Farm' – while foraged ingredients also play their part. Don’t be surprised to see the occasional South African influence too, as the chef-owner is from Cape Town. The pared-back room has a natural feel, and it’s worth checking out the glass-walled wine cellar.

Imposing granite pillars and neatly laid tables help to bring an air of classical elegance to this restaurant inside the Hotel Meudon. The dining room overlooks impressive mature sub-tropical gardens, which also contribute to the all-round lovely setting. The concise, daily changing menu is Cornish at heart, especially when it comes to seafood. Dishes like Mylor crab filo tart are understated yet well-executed and wholly enjoyable.

Local suppliers are at the heart of this attractively refurbished pub on the Cornish coast, where the daily changing menus are shaped by the kitchen's seasonal approach. The understatedly skilful cooking showcases Cornish seafood – such as sardines with salsa verde, samphire and peas – alongside pub classics like glazed ham, egg and chips, plus charcoal-grilled steaks. Drinkers are treated to a selection of local beers, best enjoyed outside overlooking the water with a bar snack in hand.
