The Shore Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My favourite restaurant in the world! I came here twice two years ago and think about it all the time. Can’t wait for the next visit. Bruce only uses the absolute freshest ingredients and it shows - the taste of dishes here is so tender on the tastebuds and exploding with umami you want to pinch yourself to see if it’s real. Posting below a review I wrote in August 2022 after my first visit: ‘One of the absolute highlights of our Cornwall trip was a beautiful little gem of a restaurant in Penzance called the Shore. The chef, Bruce, greets you enthusiastically, barefoot, at the door, introduces every course to the 12 guests in the space, and does everything from nabbing the freshest fish from local fishmongers before they even go to the public to washing the dishes to renovating the space. Bruce is adamant on freshness and bringing out the fullness of the flavour in everything - sea and garden ingredients served with a Japanese-inspired twist. I think a good indication of his sophisticated and delicate but unpretentious style of cooking is how he intentionally never uses an ingredient that's only pretty as garnish but can't be eaten. His food is truly food as art, and in a way it reminded me of really good therapy in the sense that you can taste within each slice and sliver of food the kind of immense skill, rich trove of knowledge, and keen insight that take decades to build. It reminded me of the intimacy of certain works of immersive theatre which offers an intimate experience in a space tailored to the production for the audience, but I have to say, seeing shows are much more tiring because you have to concentrate the entire time, without getting divine food! (Another way in which the night reminded me of theatre is how you can never get the same experience again, and how the realisation makes you savour the preciousness of every moment.) Bruce’s blend of down-to-earthness and high level of skill, craft, and understanding is such a marvel to me. It's easy for mastery in cooking to be touted at high prices, dressed up in fluff and frills, or for it to be surrounded by an air of exclusivity and elitism, but here the intimacy of the setting is because of practicality (one person can only cook for so many!) and also because of a real emotional attentiveness. In a world where "intimacy" or "homey vibes" can be sold as commodities, it was refreshing to just return to the basics and be in a situation where intimacy is the natural result of the setting and the person's philosophy. It also reminds me of the Japanese concept of shokunin, referring to artisans, craftspeople, et al who are singularly devoted to their craft over long periods of time (as long as a lifetime or beyond) and with a deep sense of humility. The grilled bass was absorbently juicy, and having pickles before hake and mussels is a genius stroke because the sourness of the former fully brought out the sweetness of the latter. The memory of the courgette, tomato, and squid soup still makes my mouth tingle with umami. The skinned tomatoes were tender, the diced courgette as freshly flavoured as green mangos, the squid impeccable, served with a side of chilled broth which you can feed into the bowl on your own. What I also appreciated about Bruce's food was how attuned he was to the outside world and how his guests were feeling - he served a chill soup because of the hot weather, which shows a connectedness with one's surroundings, the antithesis of the hubristic belief that you can get anything by air freight as long as you're willing to pay more. I have to say: Bruce makes me understand why things get put on the Michelin Guide, and I want to give him all the recs in the world!’

A beautiful experience from start to finish. Bruce has created something very special with Shore.

This was the best meal I have ever had. Everything from the service, to the music, to the beautiful food was just perfect. We enjoyed ourselves so much. What an incredible experience and what a special restaurant. Bruce and Vicky are a fabulous duo, and I loved how relaxed and down to earth the atmosphere was. It was all about the incredible food and good vibes. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special.

Stunning restaurant food , wine ,service and presentation first class 👌

My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary and LOVED everything about The Shore. Even my husband, who doesn’t really like fish, enjoyed it! The laid back vibe, fabulous wine pairing, and very chatty chef made it a place we will remember and go back to.

Extraordinary from start to finish. Worth travelling to Penzance just to eat here.

Wow! What an amazing experience! This was a combination of wonderful food and theatre — each course described with details and such enthusiasm. Loved the artistry and creativity! And that the products are locally sourced — even down to the boat name, and farmer. Bruce even made a vegetarian version for me 🙏.

If you think you’re in for a regular seafood restaurant experience, think again. The Shore is a unique, brilliant festival of seafood and fresh ingredients; cooked to perfection with an imaginative menu that changes daily and presented with a distinctive personal flourish. The food is simply outstanding and the value amazing. This place is an experience not to be missed. Steve & Annie

First class food excellent tasting menu. Everything is fresh on the day. The chef whose name is Bruce is live wire he explains Everything from where his produce is from and also about the wine pairings a very casual and laid back restaurant. Every dish was brilliant i can't wait to return when back in Cornwall

One of the best restaurants anywhere in the world. Wow. Small and very personal dining experience. Fresh and local. Clean and simple.

Everything was really nice, the food was absolutely amazing, and the chef presenting every dish was a good touch, certainly unique. What surprised us though was that there is a service charge on the final bill which we were not aware. Nevertheless would certainly highly recommend it!

A divine culinary experience, an absolute delight where the chefs passion is palpably tasteble. Seafood is now ruined for me as nothing will ever measure up to this meal.

Had the best dining experience of my life loved the chef his details and descriptions were amazing, have the wine pairings very very good 😊

My wife and I were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and after reading the fantastic reviews decided to try this place out. We where greeted by the lovely Vikki and seated at our table, then Bruce (the owner/chief) comes out and explains the first course / wine and continues to do this till the 6 courses are complete. The atmosphere is intimate, vibrant and funny as Bruce is an excellent host and you can tell he’s passionate about his food he just loves to cook and that reflects in his cooking. My wife and I are both foodies from London (working class) and we try to experience as many different restaurants as possible and we both agree, IF YOU LOVE GREAT FOOD, WINE SERVICE ALL SERVED UP IN A BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT WITHOUT ALL THE LONDON CRAP AND HIGH PRICES THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. This restaurant is simply and MUST for food lovers please try it you won’t be disappointed

What a wonderful experience the food was some of the best I have ever tasted. It had a relaxed atmosphere and was an entertaining evening. It is expensive I would suggest including paired wines but an excellent venue for a special occasion.

Cannot rate this place high enough. Fresh produce, creative dishes and a must if down in Cornwall. A truly delightful restaurant

We loved our dinner at Shore last weekend and would definitely recommend it. The food was so so good and having Bruce come out and explain each dish, where he got the ingredients and why he chose to prepare it as he did is really interesting and adds to the experience. Service was impeccable. Anything we asked for seemed to appear about a minute later. Given the experience, food quality, and small room, £90 each feels incredibly reasonable. I’m so glad we came here on our trip and we’ll definitely be recommending it to everyone going to the area. Thanks from Ramsgate, Bruce!

Well what can I say, absolutely delicious and I don't normally eat fish. The flavours were so good and Bruce is a character full of life. If your in penzance, I'd advise a visit if you a foodie.

I must say that Chef Bruce is truly skilled at preparing fish dishes. I cannot give him enough compliments for consistently bringing out the flavors of the fish. Fish can be tricky to cook and sometimes tend to be overcooked, but that is not the case here. My favorite dish is the fish custard with roe and crab. You have to try it to know how delicious it is. I hope this restaurant will get a Michelin 1-star rating.

Read a review in an international travel magazine- made reservations a few months in advance. We’re told not to be late as the meal starts promptly at 7pm. Bruce shared his thought process, ingredients sources, cooking method, drink pairing and loads more as each course was served. I tried many new things - oh, you need to like seafood. 🐟🦪 delicious and adventurous but not scary

The most memorable dining experience you’ll ever have. Highly recommended.

Bruce is an amazing chef and wonderful host. His food is amazing. We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants around the world and this is at that level… such amazing tastes and flavours. Now my top choice in cornwall .

Absolutely fantastic, brilliant experience and will certainly return 👌

My third visit and was again not disappointed it was great, tasty and loved the personal touch by Bruce who explained the dishes , his enthusiasm is addictive, will return

This place is seriously good. Bruce, the chef and owner, is so passionate about how he sources and cooks his food, even explaining each dish to the room of customers. Please support this guy, it is a unique restaurant and you won't be disappointed.

a very special meal. my partner took me out for a birthday and anniversary meal, and I got to choose the resterant and chose shore - for my love of japanease dining and intimate resteraunts. it lived up to all expectations, each course was immaculate in its own way - the layering of flavour working in unison. The wine pairing were probably my favourite part of the meal - not just focusing on wines - but getting a incredible variations of drinks that were the perfect sips with each bite. I think my partner fell in love with Bruce and his explination of each dish. He has been fangirling over his knowlege of food ever since. we left giddy and excited to come back in a different season.

Bruce is exceptional! I took my partner here for her birthday, splashing out on a bit more than I'd usually spend. Every penny was absolutley well spent. I had chosen Shore because of reviews stating it's just Bruce cooking and serving and I wanted a personal experience, that is exactly what we got. We chose to include the additional drinks pairing which I would 100% recomend for the full experience. Before each course Bruce talked us through what he was serving, where it was sourced (down to the name of the boat the fish was caught on). His knowledge of flavour and food theory was mind blowing and was represented by dishes that appeared simple if not for the number of steps Bruce had taken to get the ingredients to your plate. From 3 year homemade Miso to smoked fish custards and lacto-fermented vegtables. I will be reccomending The Shore to everyone I know as it has been the single best cullinary experience I have ever had and I look forward to the day I can afford to return. Thank you Bruce!

The best fish restaurant. Exceptional Japanese cuisine Interpretation, worth a special journey.

This is a small restaurant, more like a dining club than a restaurant. Booking essential. It has a ‘tasting’ type menu. Barry is a star! His cooking is brilliant. He buys in local produce and uses every bit to turn into delicious and interesting, Asian inspired food. Yummy

Food and service was outstanding. Wonderful local ingredients cooked by a talented chef at the top of his form. Definitely the best restaurant in Penrith.

I’d always thought the cultural high point of Penzance is Sports Direct. But this Japanese inspired fish restaurant is something else. If it was in Mayfair or Singapore I’d still be impressed. Enthusiastic engaged chef. Brilliant food and wine pairing. Mind is officially blown. A-maaa-zzzing. Go!!!

Creative. Passionate. Delicious. An outstanding tasting menu with local fish and ingredients served in an intimate setting with Chef/owner Bruce giving diners insights to each dish. Very highly recommended.

Fabulous experience all around. The food was delicious and inventive, the wine pairing was perfect, the service was spot-on. The chef came out to explain each course and tell us about why and how he created each dish, where the ingredients came from, etc. A great evening - highly recommended!

Exceptional dining experience. I love the food and how Chef Bruce presents it. Worth to visit again!

We had such a fantastic evening dining with the team at The Shore Restaurant. Very informative, great local produce and enjoyed the wine pairings. All in all, it was an exceptional experience. Thank you, & keep doing what you're doing!

This was my second visit and it didnt disappoint, lovely food and so well explained before each course. I wish I could afford more visits

Simply THE best fish/veg restaurant I have ever eaten at. Bruce is the most passionate chef you could imagine. The Shore serves the most amazing food with a delicious wine pairing. Nothing to fault and everything to sing from the roof tops about! We live 280 miles away and have been twice in the past 4 months ...can't WAIT to come back! If you're reading this and you've never been, then make it your mission to go ... you will NOT regret it 🥰🥰🥰

This is the 3rd or 4th time we have visited The Shore and every time it has been a fabulous culinary experience. Tuesday’s visit was no exception, a truly delicious menu prepared with precision, attention to detail and love by Bruce, ably assisted by his friendly and welcoming front of house manager. It was great the learn the provenance of each of the 6 dishes served from the chef himself. An intimate experience for people who enjoy trying unusual pairings and love the freshest ingredients from the local area. Well done Bruce, you do a fabulous job and we hope to be back next year!

A very special restaurant with all dishes using different fishes and cooking styles. The chef will have a brief introduction on his cooking philosophy at the start and then would briefly describe each dish before serving. Moreover, you can stay behind to share with him after the dinner. The first time I can have such close & free communication with the chef.

It was an excellent experience! It was amazing food theatre, from two different but equally passionate food professionals. The decor and story behind the carefully selected menu will thrill and excite anyone passionate about sustainability, supporting local British agriculture and fishing. I still cannot believe our host sources, preps, cooks and plates these dishes on their own. It's a massive show of art and skill that what is delivered from the door to plate is done with such character, finesse, and heart! They manage to produce what normally needs a team of people. But it's stripped back, family style dining is so refreshing and a joy to experience! It's a MUST for any true foodie

Super experience, world class food. Chefs presentation was so Informative. Expensive but worth every penny for the experience lovely group of people dining on the evening which was an added bonus

Great taster menu and wine pairing ,with chef introducing each dish

Joyful, remarkable evening of clear, complex and original dishes, beautifully presented, served with grace and introduced with Bruce’s infectious enthusiasm. The wine pairings were excellent. The most enjoyable and best value tasting menu we have had anywhere. A reason to return to Penzance on its own.

Outstanding-amazing all round experience-fabulous food & Bruce’s engagement was as good as the food. Definitely coming back!

You just have to visit this lovely, intimate restaurant. The small plates are out of this world, plus chef Bruce is super passionate about what he does and it comes through in the food. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Bruce’s tasting menu was the highlight of our 10 day gastronomic tour of Devon and Cornwall. For someone who claims never to have visited Japan, his kaiseki menu would do even Endo proud. His interpretation of chawanmushi was sublime with a fresh and crunchy shitake and caviar. Superb fish fresh from the quay and the locally grown vegetables were delicious. Even the shiso tasted like shiso tastes in Japan, a remarkable achievement given that shiso in UK is generally bland and disappointing. Three things to bear in mind: 1) try to show up at 6.45pm to get the best tables. Dinner starts promptly at 7pm. 2) don’t expect any meat. 3) Bruce leaves the kitchen between every other course to describe the following two courses. His account of where he sourced the ingredients and how he prepared them is truly fascinating. - Finally, a meal at the Shore is not only a true feast for all your senses but also incredibly good value.

An absolute must if you're in the area (or not! ) love seafood, east asian food and a truly passionate chef. Unlike anywhere we've eaten before, and all the better for it. The wine pairing was spot on and we licked our plates clean - and that's ok... For us, the very reason we will return to Penzance in the not too distant future. Thank you Bruce & Vicki for an amazing evening.. we are still talking about it....

Amazing food, amazing Chef Bruce, and the awesome Vicky 🙌

Absolutely amazing evening! The atmosphere was perfect, super informal and private setting yet world class food! The chef presenting every dish to the room is a wonderful touch. The wine pairing was really well thought through! Highly recommended and worth the money!

Couldn't recommend it more highly! Some of the best food we've ever eaten, drinks pairings were on point and the enthusiasm and passion the chef Bruce has for his art, made it a fantastic experience....relaxed and fun atmosphere, great front of house...a must visit restaraunt if you love fish. We'll be back soon!

Incredible food, up there with the best I’ve had. Fresh seafood, delicious local veg, simple dishes executed impeccably. Wine pairing was also good.

Fabulous food and the host, Bruce is lovely - passionate about cooking and local produce. Marvellous tasting menu - particular highlights were the bass with cucumber and an elderflower oil, totally delicious and totally different, not a common combination. Also the John Dory and the amazing dessert with a divine basil sorbet.

Penzance has a treasure. Easy to park near and you must get ready for a treat. Many perfectly executed courses with a short explanation about how the dishes came about. Lovely service also with tastes to remember. 2nd time of visiting and will return.

My favourite dinner of 2023. Sensational food and recommend the wine pairing. Great energy from both hosts. We will be back!

First and foremost Bruce is a wonderful, caring and passionate Chef. He cares deeply about his craft of providing the freshest local produce and creating wonderful flavours. When dining in the Shore he talks you through each course , on his diverse menu His creative flair is second to none and you come away feeling more enthusiastic about Seafood, than you ever have before. His personality is infectious and you feel like you have been baptised by a local fish priest:) If you're in the Penzance area, please make sure you visit The Shore, you won't be disappointed !

Every dish was absolutely stunning, incredible depth of flavours & textures. Great atmosphere & passionate chef.

From the moment we walked in to be welcomed by Bruce,we knew we were in for an unforgettable evening. I have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants,but this is something special. Each course is obviously planned with great care. Bruce’s knowledge and love of fresh local produce is obvious. He is a master of his craft. Thank you for an unforgettable evening.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. A set menu of five fish dishes plus dessert prepared with passion and presented with self-deprecating enthusiasm by chef-owner Bruce Rennie, using Japanese techniques to bring out the best in his local produce. Every mouthful was delicious with each course complementing the one before and the one after. All the diners had to arrive at the same time, giving the evening the atmosphere of a supper club. The wine pairings are optional, but worth it because they are very carefully chosen. One course on the night we ate at The Shore was accompanied by sake, served at room temperature and perfectly smooth. The whole experience was delightful and one we will remember for a long time.

Fantastic meal! Well worth the money. The fish was insane!

We've been eating here pretty much since it opened and The Shore just gets better and better. The food is superb and the fixed menu format takes the stress out of choosing! The matched wines were excellent (book a taxi!) and Bruce's explanations between each course added to the experience. Bruce is an inventive and passionate chef and advocate for all things local, no detail is overlooked. They understandably can't take walk-ins so make sure you book.

Once again a fantastic meal at The Shore, cooked with skill and creativity by Bruce. Locally sourced exceptional fish dishes, with creative use of local ingredients. An exceptional experience. We’ve lived in Cornwall for ten years, tried all the “big names” and this is head...

Absolutely amazing restaurant, Bruce is so fantastic. Truly spectacular dining experience. Food at its very best, and the wine pairing is superb. Highly recommend for an unforgettable evening.

Damn COVID for keeping us away for 4 years!! So glad to have returned back at last, the food has only gotten better! Bruce is possibly the most talented chef in Cornwall and never fails to impress, sea food at it's finest! Get yourself some!!!

So glad I can go to the Shore without a reservation! While dinner is something special, it's great to have the lunch option. Superb quality for the price. Also plenty of vegetarian/vegan choices.

We came for lunch today, first time we've been but it won't be the last. We had the four vegan options - cauliflower karaage in curry sauce, house pickles, aubergine agebitashi and the miso broth. It was stunning, best food we've had in Penzance by...

Just amazing. The whole evening was a delightful experience. The food was exquisite and so great to have an intro talk to each course - so many local fresh ingredients, and so much thought into it all. Thank you

Love that he’d run out of the kitchen barefooted, give a little intro to each dish and then run back into the kitchen. His assistant/partner was really professional/pleasant. The atmosphere was spot on. Low light. Great choice of music. Loads of space between tables. Very...

Wonderful experience with a warm welcome from Bruce and excellent service throughout. His personal touch both front of house and in the kitchen makes this a great experience. The fish was superb, delicious and beautifully presented with little touches of brilliance throughout. Just fabulous!

It's not often that you get a truly unique experience that is also excellent in every way. Bruce and his assistant excitedly greet you at the door, and then proceed to provide a totally unique evening, where he finds time somehow to talk to you...

Outstanding meal made with great skill from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Complemented with great wines and excellent service in a single, un-rushed evening sitting.

Good heavens. It's hard to find the appropriate superlatives to describe this experience. There are no choices - that in itself is rather wonderful. It is a lot of money, but you soon realise that it is not expensive. This is eating at the hand of a chef who's at the top of his game, creating the very best combinations of the very best foods available, and everything is very local. Choose a fabulous bottle of wine. Eat slowly. Savour every mouthful. Then start saving for your next visit. Thank you to the enthusiastic chef Bruce and his excellent assistant. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and we will be back.
