Port Isaac's genuinely small scale means fewer options than a bigger town, but what's here is worth knowing about specifically.
Genuinely excellent pasties made fresh to order, including a properly done gluten-free version — visitors consistently rate these among the best they've had anywhere in Cornwall.
Without the volume pressure of a bigger tourist town, Nicki B's can genuinely make each pasty to order rather than batch-producing — the difference shows in the pastry.
Port Isaac Harbour is the obvious spot, but the walk up to Castle Rock gives a lovely alternative if you want somewhere quieter.
Given the village's steep streets, buying your pasty before the walk down to the harbour — rather than after — means less carrying on the way back up.
Given how small the shop is, calling ahead for a group order is worth doing rather than risking a sell-out on a genuinely busy day in the village.
The steak version comes recommended by regulars alongside the classic, worth trying if you're visiting more than once during your stay.
