Caffe Pasta & Pizzeria, St. Ives 05-2021

In Cornwall's most famous, most expensive and possibly most beautiful town, it was a busy weekend and with restaurants only just opening from lockdown most places were full. It only left a few options of joining some short queues at these fine looking and oil smelling fish 'n' chipperies, or grabbing a lucky outside table along the windy but sunny scenic walkway. Views of the tucked away ocean alcove and people walking along the low tide beach made for a pleasant setting.

- Crab & prawn pasta bake (local crab, prawns, penne pasta, parmesan crust) £13.95 - tasty dish with little bits of crab meat, some prawns and a whole lot of cheese;
- Steamed mussels mariniere, St. Ives Bakery bread £9.5 - big juicy mussels that really filled the shell. Better than I expected.

A nice meal in a nice setting and lucky didn't have to wait for a table, albeit it 17.45pm on a Sunday.
