Daves Diner - Looe

I was recommended Dave's Diner by a local, and it did not disappoint! The batter was perfectly crispy and fresh, and the quality of the fish was outstanding. We ordered both hake and cod; while both were delicious, I preferred the hake for its more robust flavor. We enjoyed our fish and chips sitting by the harbor with a stunning view. It was truly unbeatable!

On our second night of vacation, we chose Dave's Diner as the other places were quite crowded. Since it was during COVID restrictions, they were only offering takeaway, and I thought they managed social distancing very well, given the small size of the establishment. Only one customer was allowed inside at a time, after which you would wait around the corner for your order to be ready. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the quality of the food was impressive. Later in the week, we had chips from a fish and chip shop, and we all agreed that Dave's Diner's chips were superior. The menu had a great variety, and the prices were very reasonable.

There are fantastic fish and chips to be found throughout Britain, but you definitely need to try these. They offer genuinely high-quality fish and chips – the best I've had in a long time. I really enjoyed them!

I had the crispiest chips I've ever tasted, and the homemade fish cake was simply delicious. The cod was incredibly fresh and moist, and the batter was perfectly crispy. The homemade mushy peas were the best I’ve ever had, and the homemade tartar sauce was both crispy and delightful. I will definitely be making the 600-mile round trip again!

This is an outstanding fish and chip shop with a rich heritage that has served the local community and visitors in Looe for decades. The fish and chips are freshly cooked to perfection, and there’s also a great dessert menu. They offer locally sourced fish on the menu as well. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere full of character, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's definitely a must-visit spot during our time in Looe.
