Eating out…

Cornwall rightly has a foodie reputation…..

…and Truro is no exception. Whether it’s a hearty meal in one of the city’s bistros, an authentic Italian or hot and spicy, there’s plenty of choice in our great little city.

Bistro

If you’re looking for good honest Bistro dishes, try The Long Store (previously Bustophers) on Lemon Street, or wander further up and find the Thomas Daniell. If you’re in town and fancy all day eating with lots of choice including tapas, check out The Lounge.

Tapas

Talking of tapas, try The Old Grammar School for tasty bites along with a great selection at the bar including cocktails (alcoholic and non alcoholic).

Burgers and more

Burgers are always a family favourite and The Hub Box is perfect for when you want your burgers fresh and your fries dirty.

Nice and Spicy

If it’s spicy food that takes your fancy, try the Yak and Yeti or for something more eastern, Xen Noodle Bar or Yue Chinese.

Italian and Pizza

For honest old school Italian food, Pieros is the place to be “the best Italian food I’ve had since I was in Tuscany” commented a friend of the blog.

Fine Dining

Hotel food sometimes hits the right note; for that you’ve got a choice of Mannings at the bottom of Lemon Street (Highly rated by Jay Rainer) and The Alverton Hotel, a little walk from the centre up Tregolls Road.

Fish

You can’t live near the sea and not hanker after fish of all sorts. There are a great number of Fish and Chip shops, but for lunches or evenings out try Hooked.

Sams in the City is amazing for fresh fish dishes and has an excellent for burgers (top tip:Secret Truro’s favourite is fish soup with roille. Oh Yum!)

Just outside Truro

Penrose Kitchen is just a couple of miles out of Truro in Shortlanesend. The food was delicious when I was there last and the Lily pond is beautiful.

The Heron Inn in Malpas is the perfect place for lunch or supper with a view. Great food and the perfect place to sit and spot the Herons on the other side of the Fal Estuary.
