Why we point you here

One Michelin star modern British on Cornwall's coast, worth the detour to Newquay.

Ugly Butterfly has charted modern British cooking at a level that earned it one Michelin star, a rare distinction this far west. In Newquay, where surf towns don't always mean serious kitchens, it's worth building a night around—proof that Cornwall's culinary ambitions reach well beyond beach chips.
