A small, neighbourhood restaurant at 6 Fore Street, Newquay, named after orecchiette — the little ear-shaped pasta that’s a house signature. Fresh pasta is made on site every morning by chef Fred, with a rotating Mediterranean-inspired menu of snacks, starters, meat and fish, and homemade seasonal gelato, all drawing on Cornish produce. The crab orecchiette is the dish to order. Focaccia is essential. Curated wine list. The kind of place that makes Newquay feel genuinely exciting to eat in. Lunch Friday and Saturday 12pm–2:30pm; dinner Tuesday to Saturday 5pm–9pm. Book ahead — tables fill quickly.
