The Harbour Tavern

The Harbour Tavern, also known as The Harbour Fish & Grill by Aaron Janes, is a striking waterside restaurant and bar built directly into the cliffside above Newquay Harbour. Set within a beautifully preserved 1930s building, it offers one of the most scenic dining experiences in Cornwall, with panoramic views that stretch across the harbor and out toward seven stunning beaches. Whether you’re seated in the glass-fronted dining room, the sunny conservatory, or out on the terrace, the atmosphere is both elegant and relaxed—making it a perfect spot for long lunches, romantic dinners, or sunset drinks.

The menu, crafted by award-winning chef Aaron Janes, champions simple yet sophisticated dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Seafood takes center stage, with daily catches and seasonal produce guiding the offerings. The Harbour Tavern has built its reputation on quality, sustainability, and service—earning consistent praise from locals and visitors alike. From seafood platters and hand-dived scallops to Cornish meats and vegetarian delights, the food is as memorable as the views.

For those wishing to extend their experience, The Harbour Tavern also offers boutique accommodation, with stylish rooms that boast balconies and uninterrupted sea views. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a full weekend retreat or simply stop by for a drink with a view. With its unbeatable location, thoughtful cuisine, and charming hospitality, The Harbour Tavern has become a must-visit for anyone exploring Newquay’s coastal dining scene.
