The Best Seafood Restaurants in Plymouth

Plymouth has been making meals of its seaside setting for centuries. Whether you’re visiting the city for a spectacular walk along the Hoe, a ride on the big wheel or the festive waterfront light switch-on; you must make time for some hearty seafood in one of Plymouth’s outstanding seafood restaurants. They’re all easily accessible from Leonardo Hotel Plymouth, so wrap up and dig in to some luxurious lobster or some cracking battered cod and chips.

Supha’s Street Food Emporium
Just an 8-minute walk from Leonardo Hotel PlymouthIf you’re looking to let out your spooky side in Plymouth this October, check out the Minerva Inn’s Halloween fancy dress party – if only to stop off at Supha’s Street Food Emporium beforehand. This vibrant street-food restaurant serves up seafood with a variety of Asian twists, from beautiful Vietnamese noodles to steamed whole crab with a signature homemade dip. There’s a host of delicious veggie options too, so everyone can enjoy the amazing views of the waterfront instead of an envious view of someone else’s dish.

Harbourside Fish and Chips
Just a 9-minute walk from Leonardo Hotel PlymouthIf indulgent seafood is what you’re after this bonfire night, you can’t go wrong with Harbourside Fish and Chips. This multi award-winning restaurant offers simple, sustainable, healthy food. Tuck into a classic cod fillet on the go as you enjoy this year’s fireworks display at Plymouth citadel – it’s just around the corner.

The Harbour Seafood Restaurant and Takeaway
Just a 10-minute walk from Leonardo Hotel Plymouth

The Harbour Seafood Restaurant and Takeaway has it all. Situated directly on the quay front of Sutton Harbour, they specialise in locally-caught fish and organic Devonshire steaks, all served up with stunning views over colourful ranks of fishing boats. Better yet, there’s room for everyone. They happily cater for couples, groups and family meals for up to 10 people – even dogs are welcome until 7pm every day of the week. Even better still, it’s right around the corner from the main event of this year’s waterfront light switch-on.

The Village Restaurant
Just a 9-minute walk from Leonardo Hotel Plymouth

The Village Restaurant is an old favourite, having served Mediterranean-inspired seafood in Plymouth for the last 27 years. They’re soon to be launching their seasonal menu, featuring an autumnal pumpkin vanilla soup and a classic Christmas pudding. If that gives you a festive taste for history then head out onto the cobbles on a Barbican Christmas Carol Tour, when actors in traditional Victorian dress will be bringing Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ to life.

The Chancel
Just a 7-minute walk from Leonardo Hotel Plymouth

The Chancel is a café ideally situated if you want to relax with a romantic meal after exploring this year’s Christmas markets, which are right nearby. This gorgeous bistro is something of a wine specialist, making it the perfect place to escape the crowds for an indulgent evening for two while you’re in town.
