Rick Steins The Seafood Restaurant

Opened by Rick and Jill Stein in 1975, their flagship restaurant on the quay at Padstow is famous for its classic seafood dishes and excellent wines.

The heart of the restaurant is a seafood bar where the chefs assemble platters of oysters, langoustines and sashimi. Upstairs, the terrace offers the ideal place to soak up the summer sun, whilst gazing across the scenic Camel Estuary.

"I've never thought of our restaurants as temples of gastronomy, they're just places where the fish is fresh and exhilarating and the atmosphere is alive and full of fun. The way we cook and the relaxed way the staff look after you in the restaurants is our idea of what seaside holidays in a very pretty fishing port on the North Cornish coast are all about." - Rick Stein
