Sardine Factory

"A converted sardine factory on the quayside plays host to this laid-back and admirably well-run first floor restaurant which affords views across the harbour to East Looe. The extensive menu champions Cornish seafood across a range of tasty, well-priced dishes that have been prepared with evident care. The cooking is appealingly straightforward, with popular fish and shellfish dishes like moules marinière and crab linguine on the menu. Don't forget to try the fabulous sardines too, of course!" - Michelin Inspector

Seafood Restaurants

"Set in a lovingly restored warehouse with views over the harbour, Sardine Factory utilises the daily stocks offered at Looe Market, which sits right opposite the restaurant. Chef Benjamin Palmer was drawn back to his native town, and crafts a refined yet simple menu, featuring the likes of smoked haddock Scotch egg with curried mayonnaise, Looe Market fish and chips, and the signature chowder with bacon crumbs." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

Ate here for lunch. Food we ordered was all very nice. Maybe wouldn't order the taco next time. Quite an expensive lunch but luckily we had a gift voucher. Would definitely come again.

A fantastic find while visiting Looe. We booked a last min holiday to Looe, and while there we walked and searched for good food. This restaurant was outstanding. We loved every bite. The crispy squid was divine. The crab mac n cheese was the best mac we have ever tasted, and even after the selection of small plates and sides as a tapas style meal, we still had room left for dessert. Which didn’t disappoint. The lemon posset with meringue and raspberries was a creamy perfection. Thank you to Ben and all of the chefs for our gorgeous meal today. We really had a fantastic time, and our tummies are very happy

Wonderful restaurant serving the best local seasonal seafood dishes (plus other options for anyone not a fan of seafood). The staff were friendly and attentive and the presentation of the food was amazing. Highly recommend if you are visiting Looe.

Truly delicious offerings in a great location, you’ll need to book and we went for lunch at short notice and there was lots of availability. We opted for; Smoked Haddock scotch egg, fish and chips, sardines, octopus, scallop and greek salad. We’ve had these favourites many many times in many many places and from some of the best chefs going in Cornwall. It is not often we get new #1s from these choices…we now have 6 new #1s as they were that good. The wines were great too and the value was incredible…try the Lebanese wine and a dessert wine..you’ll love them both. Ohh n if you shelled peas with your Grandma and were allowed a few as a treat, that’s what the peas tasted like…memories that last forever. 😋😋😋

We booked on a recommendation and we were not dissapointed. Although they said they were busy due to limited staff our food was served quickly and was delicious. Loved the fact you can see them cooking I was mesmerised at how they got everything to come together at the same time. Would highly recommend eating here if visiting Looe.

This was our 2nd visit and we were last here a couple of years ago, and celebrated a special birthday. Today, we decided to choose several small plates and share them tapas style, along with bread and koffman fries. As before, we really enjoyed the food and I particularly liked the spicy seafood gumbo. We were too full for dessert. Definitely do book ahead as this place is popular.
