The Seafood Restaurant, Padstow.

Another item on our wish list for this holiday was to have a meal at Rick Stein's 'The Seafood Restaurant, in Padstow.
Once we knew where we would be staying and the dates of the stay, we booked. We booked for lunchtime as we were staying a fair way away. We booked a long time ahead via the restaurant's website.
As we were being shown to our table, the maitre d commented that we had been given “the best table in the house - this is our most requested table”. The table was in the far corner and we decided that it is the only table at which both diners face out into the restaurant, and so could observe everyone else.
Lunch was wonderful.
Service was of the highest standard and ambience great.
For entree, I had a grilled plaice served Japanese style in a broth and with baby greens. John had fish done in a chickpea batter. Both were delicious. Mains were also melt in the mouth fish and delicious with greens and new potatoes as a side. Dessert was fantastic - tart tartine and vanilla ice cream for John and passion fruit brûlée for me.
Bought some Cornish pasties for tonight's dinner at The Chough Bakery and took a long walk back to the car park and headed home for a quieter early evening in.
It seems that Rick Stein has an involvement in so many things in Padstow - bistro, fish and chip shop, cafe, gift shop, bakery, B&B... many credit him with Padstow being as popular as it is with tourists.Read more
