Cracking Crab

If the name alone doesn't leave you smiling, the gorgeous clifftop location of the Cracking Crab in Polzeath definitely will. This modern little seaside restaurant has some of the best views of the surf in town and does a fine line in seafood.

On the topic of seafood - the menu almost has too much to choose from in this department. If you're a foodie, prepare to be snapping shots of every well-presented popcorn shrimp and fruits de mer meal served up. Lunch, dinner, light bites, and seafood platters are available all week.

The daytime menu features salads and fishy dishes, sandwiches and baguettes, Cornish cream tea, drinks, etc. The evening menu includes crab cakes, mussels, shallots, prawn cocktail, king prawns, duck salad, Mediterranean mezze, baked cod, steak, surf 'n turf, lobster, and even chickpea tagine. If this doesn't entice you, grab a glass of wine and let the sunset put on a show over the bay just for you.
