Eat, explore and unwind in Fowey
You only have to wander Fowey’s winding streets to see why this charming Cornish harbour town is loved for its food. Colourful cottages, riverside views, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe make it a joy to explore, and the dining scene is just as inviting. From fresh seafood and cosy cafés to hidden gems, there’s something to satisfy every taste and mood.
Where to eat in Fowey (our favourite spots!)
Havener’s
Tucked right on the quayside, Havener’s celebrates the very best local produce, with fresh fish and seasonal dishes that show off Cornwall at its finest – the Fowey Bay Moules Marinière is a must-try! With stylish interiors and riverside views, it’s the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or even a sunset tipple.
Sam’s Fowey
Housed in a historic 13th-century building on Fore Street, Sam’s is a lively restaurant, cocktail bar and lounge serving up hearty British classics and fresh seafood. Their menu ranges from juicy burgers to chargrilled sardines, with a tried-and-tested cocktail list to match. Sam’s is perfect for families or friends looking for a relaxed evening after a day exploring Fowey.
Narla
For a dining experience that feels a little extra special, Narla serves modern British cuisine with a Cornish twist. Expect standout dishes like buttery cod and perfectly roasted duck breast. With intimate, elegant interiors and the occasional live jazz night, Narla is the perfect spot for a date night, a celebration, or simply a meal that feels unforgettable.
The Ship Inn
Housed in a stunning Grade II* listed building, The Ship Inn is a Fowey favourite, loved by locals for its top-notch pub classics. We can never resist one of their legendary Sunday roasts! With cosy interiors, a large open fire, and a warm, welcoming vibe, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch, a hearty dinner, or simply to unwind with a drink (or two) by the fire.
Pintxo
This hidden-away tapas and sherry bar is all about small plates, big flavours, and a cosy, laid-back vibe. At Pintxo, patatas bravas meet Cornish vanilla ice cream – and we can’t complain! Just a heads-up: Pintxo is closed until 27th December, so make sure to drop by for a New Year treat instead. Casual, charming, and full of character, it’s the kind of spot that makes every visit feel like a mini holiday abroad.
Taste it all with a stay at The Vale
After a day of trying all the flavours Fowey has to offer, there’s nothing better than returning to The Vale by Ohana Mua, your eco-luxury hideaway in Looe, Cornwall. Spacious lodges and cottages, private hot tubs, and tranquil surroundings make it easy to unwind after a day out in Fowey. From riverside restaurants to tapas bars, having The Vale nearby means you can explore, indulge, and then retreat to peace and comfort – all in one unforgettable weekend!
