Falmouth and the surrounding area has had a serious food scene for years now. Independent restaurants, working farm shops, street-food markets, traditional pubs serving proper food.

The posts below cover our favourites: the smart-night-out places, the cheap eats, the romantic ones, the vegan and vegetarian options, and the farm shops worth a detour.
