We love good food. Luckily, Penzance has plenty to choose from. Most places are independent and family-owned. Here are 9 of our favourite restaurants in Penzance.
45 Queen Street
In a stunning renovated old warehouse in the middle of Penzance, 45 Queen Street serves various great dishes (many vegetarian options and great fish). Think locally produced and seasonal. It started with a family-owned gin company, Tinkture, and yes, the drinks at 45 are super. They also have a small deli/shop and often put on events. We usually pop in for a coffee and cake during the day or dinner and drinks with friends at night.

Barbican Bistro
It opened in 2023 and is run by brothers Jack and Jay Liddicoat. Barbican Bistro resides in a renovated quirky building by Penzance harbour, focusing on locally caught fish (some of it from their dad!) and seasonal produce. They also have great vegetarian options.
