The Seafood Restaurant, Rick Stein

One of the things Padstow is famous for is Rick Stein and his seafood. Hopefully you have heard of him and how delicious his food is. The Seafood Restaurant is down by the harbor in this working Cornish fishing village, where day boats bring in the catch. The dining is fairly formal, but you do have the option to dine at the large central bar for a more informal experience. Rick and his wife, Jill, founded the restaurant in 1975, and his career has taken off over the years, including multiple restaurants and TV shows. You can even sign up for a cooking lesson from the Rick Stein company in Padstow if you want to know how your dinner is made. If you don’t, then just sit back and enjoy some of the freshest ingredients you will find in a fantastic setting with great flavors. Obviously the menu focuses on fish, but there are gluten-free and vegetarian options available too, so please research the sample menus before booking, which you must do if you want to eat there. The seafood restaurant has 3 AA Rosettes. Padstow is a great place to sample some high-quality cuisine, so why not stay in and around the area?
