Fantastic food. Small plates to suit all the family. Kids thought it was amazing as did we. Calamari and crab loaded chips were a big hit as was the kimchi.

This is a destination spot. It is reason enough by itself to go to Falmouth.A cute little seafood bar with incredible food and welcoming staff by the sea. The vibe from the start with the porthole in the door sets you up for the whole experience as you step in to a hug, (yes) of a dining experience. It's a cosy, snug environment with exceptional beers to partner alongside freshly prepared tapas style seafood dishes.The shellfish on offer was fabulous and by the end of our visit I had tried most of it, if I'd had room I'd have gone on. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavour and was a delight to eat. We devoured (deep breath) oysters, scallops buffalo prawns, karaage mushrooms and the best fish finger sandwich in the UK, possibly the world. And there was a cute little amuse bouche on arrival as well.The staff are friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about everything on offer food or drink wise and given that this is an arm of the excellent Verdant brewery, you'd expect nothing less I suppose.This was the highlight of our trip and I'm planning on returning again soon.Parking: There is parking available but it can be tricky to get a spot at peak times.Wheelchair accessibility: The drop down to the restaurant via the steps might make this difficult. I don't know if there is another way of accessing the restaurant.

Small very hip micro brewery with fresh seafood on tapas style small plates. The house beers are a selection of IPAs and pale ales on draught with a good selection of bottled beers etc. The small plates were freshly cooked 2 to 3 are recommended per person. We had fresh Fal oysters, buffalo prawns with creamed corn and blue cheese, panko hake with katsu curry sauce, crab loaded chips, winter veg with nut crumb and the fish finger sandwich. Universally great food. Excellent fresh ingredients and well thought out dishes. Tasty, imaginative and generous. Service was quick and friendly. Music was played in the background but not intrusive. No booking allowed, just walk in and try your luck. I had a bottled Belgian wheat beer,Very good.Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Limited, broccoli and winter veg available, the winter veg is not vegan.The do vegan nights occasionally.

If you have a spare kidney and no money, sell it and have lunch or dinner here. Small plates are delicious, matched by a wonderful range of craft beers. A total surprise and great find. My mouth loves me!Vegetarian options: Broccoli, salad, fries, cheese stuff etc.Parking: 3 minutes away

Down a narrow side street a stone's throw from the Ferry Jetty, a small cosy atmospheric place with thick granite walls like an old mariners' tavern and exuding great warmth inside. Good food and good range of beers. If I am being harsh one or two dishes could have a little more finesse, but overall highly recommended.Parking: We parked by the Ferry Jetty. Navigating the one way system in central Falmouth slightly challenging.

Amazing! Fantastic food and service, cannot wait to go again. Best fish finger sandwich ever and the loaded crab fries are second to none! Brilliant selection of beer to compliment the food, make sure it's on your list of places to try,

Verdant is my favourite brewery and paired with the amazing seafood bar - what more could you ask for!! I love that they do third of pints so you can try lots of different ones! And I love the quirky and cosy space that you get to enjoy this in! Plus the seafood is the perfect pairing - we had the taramasalata which was incredible, the fish tacos, the crab loaded fries (I have to admit the only complaint is that there wasn’t a lot of crab on the fries) but all in all I will certainly be going back! Fantastic service too :)

So much more than seafood. An impressive selection of locally brewed craft beers from Verdant Brewery and an outstanding menu that includes a crab-loaded fries option you have to taste to believe. The 1/3rd beer servings are perfect for creating your own tasting flight - and we took full advantage sampling 6 of the 9 beers available.There is a lot on offer in a tourist centric town like Falmouth, but if you're after a truly exceptional world-class gastronomic experience, look no further. You need to visit The Verdant Seafood Bar.

Just absolutely excellent. Went as a solo diner and was sat at the bar, which was perfect. Watched loads of covers and they all looked delicious, ordered one at a time in between necking (almost) a third of every tasty beer on the menu and ALL the food was fantastic. This place exceeded expectation (which was already pretty high). A big thank you to my amiable hosts who were friendly, accomodating and let me be party to a little craic. I had such a great evening. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, and if you're travelling solo, definitely sit at the bar. Was not sure if I'd ever visit Falmouth again after ticking it off my list, but after this evening I'd have no hesitation in having a repeat visit.Vegetarian options: Well considered complex offerings

Visited this restaurant with just me & the dog. Sat at the bar. Very welcoming, fun, cool & friendly. Food & beers are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend as part of visit to Falmouth.

Great vibes, great food, great beer and great staff. What isn't there to like about it!The crab loaded chips are incredible. The chips alone are fantastic, but add good crab and bursts of piquancy from fried capers and they are elevated to a sublime level. Everything we chose from the small plates menu was good. The fish pie special was a master class in comfort food and perfectly sized for 2 to share.

This is probably the 6th or 7th time I've been and it never disappoints. I love Verdant beer anyway so I'm predisposed to like this place but the food is always excellent as well. Tonight we had a selection of items but the highlight was the fish pie, which was warming and delicious. Great place with lovely people, beer and food.

This spot is great for a quick lunch, my family and I enjoyed lots of small sharing plates. Service was quick and friendly. The whole thing was very reasonably priced.

Great little seafood bar tucked away in a side street but well worth a visit. Apart from the excellent range of beers and the Cheeky Westy was very good and my wife enjoyed her glass of Picpoul they offer delicious small plates. We shared the Fishfinger Butty, Fish tacos (my favourite) and some very good hand cut chips. All were excellent . Flo looked after us very well too.
