Shore - Penzance

As a trained chef myself, eating in any restaurant is a bit of a challenge as I'm constantly looking for faults and missed bits. The Shore does not disappoint! Every single course was presented well and carefully explained by the team. The cook on every dish was perfect and even though my girlfriend is a pescetarian we were graciously catered for by the team and one of the courses was adapted for her dietary requirements. I could not fault the flavours delivered to us. All local, seasonal produce from organic farms too. There was just the right amount of food served, our set menu was 4 courses, we couldn't have fit another mouthful! The dishes were attractive and didn't have the super pretentious aesthetics that usually come with this level of cooking. Every element was well thought out and added to the dish. We opted out of the paired wine flight but chose two from that list and they were super tasty! Bruce, the owner/chef both greeted us on arrival and chatted to us at the end of our meal and made us feel right at home. He even courteously listened to some additions I cheekily suggested to a couple of the dishes ; our waitress was lovely and super warm and welcoming. The perfect end to our stay in West Cornwall, definitely be back the next time we're this way

This was one of the most magical evenings I’ve ever had. What has been created by Bruce is an evening where you get to share his passion for exquisite local ingredients combined into beautiful plates of food. This is not just about eating great dishes but an experience like nothing else. The restaurant is intimate, with only 14 covers, which just adds to the specialness of the night.

Wow this restaurant has it all, the whole experience is exquisite. Bruce the host clearly loves what he does and the food is delicious.

This stunning restaurant must be the best in Penzance. A tasting menu based on seafood shows the talents of an excellent cook. Service is excellent and if you are a wine lover, then a wine flight suits another wine to any course. Booking essential. Very recommended.

Hidden gem in the southwest England. So glad we came. We had the 7 courses tasting menu. It was absolutely amazing experience with highlight followed by another highlight. The food has complex layers of different flavour and texture, with influence from various cultures..Japanese, Chinese, Indian, South American, yet surprisingly beautifully blended together. My personal favourite is the strawberry desert with basil sorbet..impressive piece of art. Thank you Bruce!
