Foodies will be in heaven in Padstow, which has earned a reputation as a culinary hotspot. The town is home to several award-winning restaurants, including Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant, which has become a destination in its own right. Visitors can sample the catch of the day, freshly caught by local fishermen, or indulge in other local delicacies, such as Cornish pasties and cream teas.
