Sardine Factory

Seafood · Bib

££

A converted sardine factory on the quayside plays host to this laid-back and admirably well-run restaurant which affords views across the harbour to East Looe. The extensive menu champions Cornish seafood across a range of flavourful, well-priced dishes that have been prepared with evident care. The cooking is appealingly straightforward and will likely include day-boat fish with a simple garnish, such as brown shrimp Grenobloise sauce. Don't forget to try the fabulous sardines too, of course, and finish with the soft serve ice cream.

Yamas

Greek

££

Yamas is a Greek toast to the health and wellbeing of friends and family, and it’s the authentic flavours of Greece that power this sister restaurant to the Sardine Factory on the other side of the East Looe River. Grab a seat on the terrace to make the most of the quayside location or have a drink in the first-floor bar, before delighting in classic dishes from stifado to souvlaki. The interesting all-Greek wine list offers a good selection by the glass and all at a fair price. Yamas!
