Places to drink and eat
In the busy season most places will require bookings for evening meals. Even the pubs so a little advance planning is a good idea.
Upper end
​
​
- Seafood Restaurant - on the harbour side by the main car park. 01841 532700
- also, St Petrocs Bistro, Steins Cafe, Steins Seafood Bar and Steins Fish & Chips (although this probably isn't fine dining)
​
- No 6 - the only restaurant in town with a Michelin star. On Middle St in the centre of town. 01841 532093 although I think they prefer you to make an internet booking. Paul-ainsworth.co.uk
​
You probably get a better value meal at lunchtime at The Seafood. food's the same but pricing is much more reasonable. No 6 also used to do reduced price lunch menus but since Covid have stopped this.
​
- Prawn on the Lawn - Duke St. 01841 532223 . (They are also connected to Barnaby's Bistro on Duke St but that may now have closed.)
