Well known restaurateur and wine writer Stephen Barrett is the owner of the refurbished Bistro One, situated in one of Plymouth's oldest Victorian trading areas, 'tranquil' Ebrington Street, and is just a few minutes walk from the famous war monument 'Charles Church' and the University of Plymouth.

Modern bistro fare that includes dishes created from fish, seafood and shellfish from Plymouth or Looe, game from Dartmoor, and beef, lamb and pork from Cornwall, is served there. Start your day with a 'Full-On Scoff' Westaways sausages and hog pudding, dry-cured bacon, eggs, hash brown, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans - said to be 'the best breakfast either side of the Tamar! Consider lovely Barbican seafood chowder followed by mains of fragrant rare beef with tomato, chorizo sauce and Chinese noodles, or roasted steak of Cornish pork loin with smoked bacon, puy lentils and pickle. Few other desserts can surpass the goodness of Sally Black's 'lovely lovely' cake. This is truly a neighbourhood Bistro worth searching out in a sea of mediocrity.

'Lunch for a Fiver' arrives with loads of seasonal choices, and wines by Stephen Barrett will always be of great value and originality at Bistro One.
