The Greenbank Hotel

It's all in the name; the light-drenched Greenbank hotel's restaurant bathes in the sunlight and sweeping views across Falmouth harbour through vast picture windows. In tune with the watery location, the kitchen majors in the fruits of the sea, served up in a relaxed, clean-cut contemporary dining room with cruise-liner views across the bay. The lengthy menu delivers well-tuned modern dishes from quality local produce; thus sea-fresh whole grilled sole comes with citrus caper butter, brown shrimps and baby potatoes, while pan-fried breast of Terras Farm duck turns up in a cassoulet with cavolo nero. A ubiquitous sticky toffee pudding finale (with toffee sauce) is an all-round crowd pleaser.
