Restaurants, bars, and cafes line the High Street in downtown Newquay, but many beaches or cliff-sides also offer spots to eat with scenic views. Because Newquay is one of the bigger towns in Cornwall, you’ll be able to find anything from a cheap and fast-casual eatery to a fine-dining restaurant from a popular chef. Many of the spots also claim to be family-friendly, understanding the difficulty of organizing a family holiday and thus providing (potentially) exhausted parents with a place for their child to play while they wait for their meal.
Newquay’s status as a fishing village has influenced its cuisine, meaning that you’re bound to see tons of fresh seafood shops or chippies. While many popular restaurants in the village boast of offering coastal views, you'll certainly be spoilt for choice—and for those looking for something besides the classic British or Modern European venues, there are even many pan-Asian or Australian choices in the area.
With hundreds of options to choose from, it can be hard finding just one spot to enjoy a meal (and perhaps one with a view). Luckily for you, we’ve done the work—check out our selection of Newquay restaurants below, and explore all the local options the town has to offer.
