Buzzy restaurant Indidog Falmouth, with its huge windows and terrace overlooking the glassy waters of Falmouth Harbour, delivers city vibes at the seaside.

Grab a table in the large restaurant and revel in the theatre of the open kitchen and the bustle of a well-run restaurant in full swing. Or bag a waterside spot outdoors for sunny dining with the scent of the ocean on the breeze.

Head chef Alfred Hazlitt’s cooking complements this feelgood setting. His lunch and dinner menus are modern British in style, elegantly executed and forged from uber-local ingredients that include luscious salads grown at Soul Farm on the Trefusis Estate.

The local Mylor scallops – served in the half shell – with green-chilli jam, apple, lemon and daikon are a fabulous way to start, along with an order of the knockout smoked cod’s roe served with lacy sourdough crisps.

Follow with dishes such as miso-glazed monkfish in an umami broth with sautéd napa cabbage, coriander and radish, and finish with English strawberries served three ways with earl grey ice cream and pink peppercorn meringue.

Trencherman’s tip

Indidog Falmouth’s generous size makes it a great spot for gathering with a crowd for sundowners and celebrations – without stinting on the quality of the food.
