We had the Porthilly Carlingford Oysters, Special Lobster, Foie Gras, avocado and bean salad (nice but a bit rich), Bucatini Pasta and the Hot Shellfish Mix (Excellent). Booking is important.

As we were going to Cornwall, I knew it had to be Rick Stein 's Seafood Restaurant. After a quick peruse of the menu online, I checked out available dates for booking. Man! This place books up quick! You HAVE to get in there early to get a chance to go. Luckily, we wanted to go for lunch rather than dinner so we were ok! A couple of clicks and we were booked! There is nothing quite like a nice stress free booking process and this couldn 't have been any easier. Within minutes we had our email confirmation and were looking forward to getting to Padstowe to give it a try. The venue is right on the harbour at Padstowe opposite the carpark). After a lovely jaunt around the town in the sunshine, we walked back towards the restaurant for our 1:30pm reservation. We were made to feel like the most important people in the room as soon as we walked in! I had put that we were honeymooning on the booking and we were told that the best table in the house was ready and waiting for us. We were escorted to a lovely comfortable corner booth all laid out for a delectable dining experience. Our waiter was super attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our dining experience. From taking us through the non alcoholic cocktail options hubby was driving) to talking us through each dish, we knew we were in for a treat. The food was fantastic. I went for the seafood soup to start, the Lobster Thermadore for main and we both opted for the dark chocolate tart with peanut butter ice cream for dessert. Each dish was wonderfully presented and we were given olives to nibble on whilst we were choosing our food and the most delicious sour dough and white bread to accompany our meals. The real wow factor came from the truffle and seaweed butter that was served with the bread; I have never had anything like it! The cocktail came with an edible flower and looked and tasted amazing. A great accompaniment to our meals. Now, as you might have guessed... the meal wasn 't cheap. The cheaper lunch menu was £38.50 for 3 courses, so 2x 3 course meals, a side and a couple of non alcoholic cocktails came to just under £100 £110 with tip); however, it was totally worth it for the dining experience. This place is thoroughly recommended for a celebration.
