There’s probably not a place in the country where you can dine out over the water and almost touch the continual stream of boats pulling up or sailing away from the jetty as you can here. Run by the owners of Russell’s Duke of Marlborough Hotel, the menu is designed to be tourist and local friendly. Lovely fresh local fish and oysters, a couple of hearty meaty main courses to share, and notable pizzas in the north to accompany a good selection of wine and drinks.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
