Rick Stein’s classic Seafood Restaurant is sophisticated and elegant and ideal for special occasions. This place is famous for establishing an international reputation for fresh fish and shellfish. Designed by Jill Stein, the restaurant offers a vibrant and relaxed atmosphere with its blonde wood, white walls, contemporary art and tables dressed in white linen. Head chef Stephane Delourme and his team create classic and beautiful seafood dishes using the best local produce, that is often landed right on the doorstep. There is also a seafood bar in the centre of the restaurant (no booking required) where you can sit and watch the chefs prepare sashimi, oysters and langoustines, and order anything from the à la carte menu. As well as The Seafood Restaurant, Rick Stein operates a bistro, a café, a fish and chip shop, a patisserie, a deli, a fishmonger and a cookery school in Padstow alone. His business has a huge impact on the local economy of Padstow and it is down to Stein that Padstow has become such a popular destination for food lovers.
