The characterful Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac is known best as the setting for TV series Doc Martin, but it’s also well-known in the culinary world as the home of this intimate 15C fisherman’s cottage with low ceilings, wonky walls and tasty seafood menus. It stands right on the harbourside – a great vantage point for watching the day boats unloading their catch, shortly before the fish arrives at the restaurant’s doors.
Quality and sustainability are the watchwords here and the daily changing tasting menu – designed for sharing – is dictated not only by the seasons but the weather too. While the combinations are kept simple they bring together bold flavours which really set the dishes alive, yet cleverly still manage to keep the spotlight on the main ingredient.
