The good things to know

A little more
about the place.

Cornish ingredients meet the food culture of northern Spain at this small Newquay restaurant. The changing menu moves between pintxos and plates made for sharing, with low-intervention wines and the team’s own drinks alongside. Book a restaurant table, or look for a place at the compact bar, where walk-ins are welcomed.
