A long-standing favourite amongst our team, Star & Garter is renowned for its excellent Sunday lunches and rotisserie chicken suppers. The pub itself originally opened its doors in 1892, so it radiates a traditional charm with beautiful views over the harbour. Like most pubs, the bar commands the restaurant and comes stocked with local ales, stouts, wines, gins and spirits.
Booking is highly recommended and if you can, ask for a table beside the window. Watch as boats sail past and order from the mouthwatering menu. Their Sunday lunches come with all the trimmings, so expect fluffy roast potatoes, dressed carrots and lashings of gravy to really satisfy your cravings.
If tapas is your thing, visiting Bodega should be at the very top of your Falmouth to-do list. Inspired by owner Ren’s home country, the menu is typically Spanish with sharing at its core. Found on Arewenack Street, Bodega sits in good company with the likes of Culture and Verdant Seafood Bar around the corner.
The setting itself is contemporary with subtle nods to its European influence – opt for a candlelit table for two or take a seat at the bar before perusing the extensive wine list. With the likes of smoked anchovies, patatas alliloli and king prawn pil pil on the menu, it's tempting to go for a "one of each" approach when it comes to the tapas.
