The Boathouse Cafe is an award winning seafood café, bar and takeaway, set in the fisherman's arches, overlooking the Mayflower Steps and just a stone's throw from Plymouth's historic Barbican. The Boathouse’s speciality is local fish and shellfish, sustainably caught, by its own inshore day boats, The Sidney Rose and the Elin D. The Scallop Shack, within the Boathouse, serves a variety of delicious grilled scallop dishes. The specials menu varies, depending on the catch that day, but you can expect anything from mackerel and whiting to gurnard and monkfish. What’s guaranteed is that it will be the freshest fish, all caught in local waters. This is a great '101-Must-Visit' restaurant to weave into your trip.
