Al fresco dining
Dining 'Al fresco' is one of life's simple pleasures. Although we may not always be blessed with the most clement weather, Plymouth has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to riverside eateries, piazzas and courtyards, or even sun-trapped gardens who offer exquisite surroundings to match their culinary expertise.
We've handpicked some of the best fine dining restaurants, waterfront locations and destinations for you to try this summer.
The Boathouse
2-5 Commercial Wharf, Plymouth PL1 2NX
The Boathouse is a waterfront restaurant, bar and takeaway, specialising in seafood caught by their own boats and situated overlooking the Mayflower Steps and just a stone’s throw from Plymouth’s historic Barbican.
The Boathouse serves a varied menu of fish and shellfish, caught locally, along with mouth-watering meat, vegan and veggie dishes - all made using fresh, locally sourced produce.
In the summer, the restaurant offers excellent al fresco facilities so that you can enjoy the lovely weather as well as the bounties of the sea.
Salumi Bar & Eatery

Salumi’s city beer garden is hard to beat when the sun shines, especially with a cocktail in hand and one of their legendary burgers in the other.
