Back in the summer of last year when we were all nearly dying of heat exhaustion, I took myself off…read moredown to Cornwall for the week. Staying just outside the lovely town of Looe it was a glorious week. In one of those days I found myself walking around the back streets soaking up the atmosphere like a sponge soaks up water, it was delightful. Feeling a little peckish I wandered into Larssons Coffee House. Now usually I avoid coffee houses because they contain screaming children, mothers who can't control them because they are far to engrossed in Facebook and pouting for pictures for Instagram. And I haven't even started on their ghastly overpriced coffee and rip off food! However I made an exception in this case as the place was empty and was serving up some Spanish style tapas dishes. And it had a wine bar! So off inside I went, greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello I was seated at a table near the window. I ordered a cold beer and perused the menu. Suddenly something rather quite delightful sounding took my eye. A pan fried crepe stuffed with a mixture of Spanish chorizo, crispy pancetta, Cajun spiced cremé fraiche and wilted rocket and spinach! That was it I was sold. Bring it me it now my head was screaming! The really great thing about dining in a place like this was that the kitchen was open and the smells coming from it hit your senses like a freight train knocking you into a world of gastronomical wonderment! Garlic, chilli, chorizo, onion, all dancing a merry dance in the same pan. Singing away to the hearts delight to any diner me included. Eventually my dish arrived. It was nothing pretty to look at but as they say it's what's on the inside that counts and boy did I want to get inside of this. In I go knife and fork poised like Sir Lancelots lance ready to go into battle. The first bite was extraordinary, mouth wateringly delicious the flavours exploding like fireworks on the Fourth of July. The chorizo beautifully cooked with a nice crispness around the edges. A nice kick from the chilli but not too overpowering. The creaminess of the cremé fraiche mellowed everything down nicely. The smokiness of the bacon gave a lovely warm after taste and the spinach and rocket gave it that healthy vibe. All washed down with an ice cold beer this was a lovely lunch. Perfect for couples or just a lonely diner like myself. The staff are very polite and friendly and they will alter the food to suit your tastes. And what I mean by that is that they will ask you if your like your food spicy or not? This is a lovely place tucked away in the back street so look out for it you won't want to miss it. Skip the usual coffee shops and cream tea stations. You can have them anywhere at anytime. Give Larrsons a go you won't be disappointed.

One of the few places in Looe we went back to multiple times because we could always guarantee a…read morewarm welcome and delicious food. Fabulous breakfast and amazing cream teas, which became an obsession for me whilst on this holiday. Oh, and we could bring our dog in too. I know a lot of places allow dogs, but my dog is boisterous and unruly and can be pretty damn annoying, but the staff still treated him like a prince. A+ for sure!

BEST bakery in Looe! My fiance and I were visiting family in Looe for two weeks and frequented…read moreMartins Dairy. My sister and I enjoyed getting the cream teas which comes with scones, jam, and Cornish clotted cream. Being back in the US I miss it so much. One of the last days I got the pink, frosted, sprinkled donut and omg I was regretting not getting one every day before then. Softest donut I've ever had. Also the apple pastry was delicious. Mouth is drooling just thinking of all the delicious items they had.

This bakery is the first of many you will see when first entering the main street of Looe, and it…read moreis definitely one of the better ones. Everything is freshly baked and you can see the bakers at work at the back of the shop. I highly recommend their cheese and onion pasties and pizzas, and their jam doughnuts are to die for. All the staff are polite and helpful and even though there is normally abit of a queue it is worth the wait. Inside there are also half a dozen tables where you can sit and enjoy a nice cup of tea and freshly baked scones, a real favourite with the older residents of Looe. If you like a real fresh peppery pasty than this bakery is for you.

The address is wrong!!! Penzance???!!! My god that's the other side of Cornwall!!!!!!!! A whole…read moreweeks trek lol! Anyways, Kellys isn't really a restaurant as such. More of a Cafe, with Fish and Chip Takeway and also IceCream Counter just off the side of the take away. It is the largest Cafe in Looe, Lots of tables both upstairs and down. It is just off the side of Looe's main carpark, so gets very busy in the summer when Holiday makers get out of their cars and need a drink and bite to eat - it's the first thing they will come to! A bit of a greasy spooner in my honest opinion, I have lived in Looe all my life and seen many a teenager working there for next to nothing lol. Kelly's opens early each morning, which is great for the local fisherman to grab a cup of tea first thing as it is ideally situated close to the Quay, and also in the middle of Town. Plenty of highchairs and room for prams which is also a great thing. They also do a discount for locals :D
