Tiffins Bistro

Tucked away among Fowey’s harbourside shops & eateries, Tiffins stands out as a smart, but easy-going bistro – complete with wooden furniture, pastel shades & a backing track of French music. Small bars on both floors, blackboards of daily specials & photographs of Cornish scenes add to the atmosphere, & the menu aims to cover all bases, from morning coffee, sandwiches & lunch plates (think pizzas or Cornish crab linguine) up to accomplished evening dishes inspired by Cornish produce – especially seafood. Specials such as steamed Fowey mussels are a given (maybe cooked with shallots & white wine), as is a West Country take on bouillabaisse packed with scallops, monkfish, hake & gurnard, while meat eaters can go for char-grilled sirloin steak with béarnaise, fries & rocket.
