A
Abbey Restaurant
This cutting-edge British bistro has been garnering serious praise, not least from the boffins at the AA and Michelin guides. Underpinned by top-quality produce, the Abbey turns out consistently fabulous food in the light-filled dining room, and nibbles, cocktails and aperitifs in the crimson-walled bar downstairs. It's not cheap, but tucking into your roast monkfish or hot chocolate soufflé, you'll feel it's money well spent.

B
Lime Tree
With a relaxed town-house setting and cosy front-room atmosphere, dining at the Lime Tree feels like having supper at a friend's house - assuming your friend is a gourmet chef with a passion for global cuisine. Cornish duck breast, sea bass and John Dory fillet for mains, chased down by homemade bread and vanilla crème brûlée.

Renaissance Café
Light streams in through floor-to-ceiling windows at this contemporary café, hidden away in the Wharfside Shopping Centre overlooking Mount's Bay. Club sandwiches, ciabattas and salads feature, with more-substantial mains by night and late-night music at weekends.

Archie Brown's
A cosier wholefood caff you couldn't hope to find. Archie Brown's has been serving Penzance's earth-mothers and artsy crowd for years and shows no signs of flagging, with stocked-up counters full of crispy salads, veggie quiches and carrot cake.

Harris' Restaurant
Penzance's original fine-dining restaurant is still going strong after 30-odd years. Times have moved on but the menu at Harris' is still mostly classic French, serving up local game and fish dishes in the scarlet-tinted. napkin-laced dining room.

Bar Coco's
Bringing a little piece of southern Spain to Chapel St, this popular tapas bar is as good for a morning latte as for a late-night cerveza, and is usually crammed with paid-up members of Penzance's arty crowd.

Honey Pot
Another wonderfully friendly Penzance cafe, opposite the Acorn Arts Centre. It's a popular spot for afternoon tea and cake, but also turns out tempting fare such as jacket potatoes and homemade homity pies. Naturally, nearly everything's made on site and locally sourced, and the big glass windows keep it sunny and light-filled.

Chapel Street Brasserie
Formerly Bar Coco's, this well-groomed Gallic bistro makes the perfect place for a hearty plate of French food, from steaming bowls of mussels to rich cassoulet. The 2-course prix fixe menu is super value at £12.50, and it's served at lunch and supper.

Bakehouse
This funky double-floored diner is tucked down an alley just down the street from the Chapel Street Brasserie. Seafood-lovers and veggies are both catered for, but it's the carnivores who do best: copious steak choices are partnered with your choice of sauce or spicy rub.
