The Cormorant, with its stylish restaurant overlooking the magnificent scenery of the River Fowey, is a constant source of delight to those who visit, as well as those who stay awhile. The two AA-rosetted restaurant offers good traditional Cornish food with a modern twist.

The team of chefs headed by Martin Adams take every advantage of the best that Cornwall produces in the way of fish, meat, game and cheeses. A typical set menu could start with a warm salad of quail with scotched quail's egg and white truffle mayonnaise, followed by monkfish wrapped in Parma ham with shrimp butter. Desserts are typically tempting with an assiette of citrus with lemon posset, caramelised pink grapefruit tart, lime jelly and blood orange sorbet.

The extensive wine list earned them the Conde Nast Johansens 2008 Award for 'Best Wine List' in the UK and Ireland in the Small Hotels and Restaurants category. The Cormorant is a place for all seasons and their special breaks programme reflects this.
