Cornwall’s Best Restaurants | Where to Eat in Cornwall on Holiday | Eater London

"A rare exception to the normally reliable rule that good food and heartbreaking views don’t mix, this out-of-the-way café overlooks one of the UK’s most beautiful expanses of beach. And yet locals and tourists brave the borderline-impassable hill down — pro tip: walk, don’t drive — as much for the Hut itself as the sea and sand. A buzzy 2018 cookbook gives a pretty good indication of what’s on offer: grilled fish and picked crab in the summer, hearty soups and stews when things start to cool off. Leave room for some enjoyably unreconstructed baked goods, especially if returning to a car parked on a double-digit incline." - George Reynolds

We parked about two miles up the coast and walked down to the hidden hut for lunch. As you approach the hut the smell that hits you is out of this world, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. If we were local we’d be eating here every week without fail. Truly gourmet food that is genuinely special.

Remote but with such good food and views that it's worth a special trip. Ever changing menu but always with a veggie option. Enjoy a walk along the coast or playing on the beach, then sit at outdoor tables for a delicious lunch. Some free parking available on the road but it'll get full quickly during peak holiday season. Beware of the narrow roads, not easy if you're not used to Cornish driving.

Super tasty food. Small menu but it's means it's super fresh and you don't need to wait long to be served. We loved the soup with some flat breads from the pizza oven. Very quick service and such a fantastic location. It's not the cheapest but the quality of the food is great. Lovely walks along the coast and the beach is lovely.

This place is a real treat. Only a few hot dishes on the menu which shows the quality of the place. Food is being cooked all the time, so after ordering you are looking at a couple of minutes wait. Excellent service and friendly people. My son had the pulled pork brioche and it was a flavour sensation.

Worth the long queue for food - had a delicious Cornish pasty. The soup and daal looked really tasty too. Get there early as the menu did have sold items by the time we arrived (about an hour until closing). Definitely worth travelling for and a highlight of our trip.

This is now one of my favourite spots in Cornwall. The food was absolutely amazing. The Cornish steak pasty I had was filling and delicious, and the hazelnut hot chocolate was exactly what I needed that morning— it warmed me up in the seaside breeze and gave me the perfect boost of sweetness. The blueberry and banana muffin was moist and so tasty. I only wish I’d had the chance to try more from their menu! The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was just right, with families enjoying their holidays. You also get to enjoy a stunning beach view. It was quite windy when we visited, so I’d recommend bringing an extra layer. Overall, I loved this place and would definitely come back when I’m in the area!

First visit to the Hidden Hut today and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had lunch which was delicious. I had the spiced pork dish and the other three with me chose the crab tacos which they said were amazing. It's in a lovely position overlooking the beach and on a day like today, sunny but not too hot it was heaven. The dog with us had a great time with us throwing sticks for her to retrieve. I would very much recommend this cafe and beach to locals and visitors alike.

Amazing little place set back from the beach. Note, did not sample the main menu just a slice of cake. An independent venue that serves up good looking food from what we saw. Prices looked very reasonable too. Would certainly return to try the food. Staff were very friendly and the setting was amazing
