Greenbank Hotel

The Greenbank Hotel’s harbour setting provides the inspiration for its Waterside Restaurant – a typically light space with pale wood floors & sweeping picture windows that offer show-stopping, 180-degree views over the estuary & Falmouth harbour. As you might expect, the kitchen put freshly landed seafood at the heart of its brasserie-style output – hake fillet teamed with scallops, Puy lentils, samphire & sorrel crème fraîche or wild black bream accompanied by white asparagus, red peppers, white bean purée & pea shoots, all delivered in an assured, uncomplicated manner. Away from the sea, you might find char-grilled Cornish sirloin steak served with pepper sauce or garlic butter, as well as desserts such as elderflower & lemon posset with sea buckthorn sorbet & vanilla-tinged apricots. There’s also a pleasant terrace for those rare alfresco days.
