Where to Get Breakfast in Port Isaac

Short answer: The Slipway on the harbour front does a Full Cornish breakfast; All Aboard serves a large breakfast with friendly, local-tips staff; The Box is the easy-to-miss spot for breakfast baps.

The three

• The Slipway — the harbour-front pub-with-rooms, doing a Full Cornish breakfast with the harbour right outside. Staff are known for fitting in walk-ins even when busy.
• All Aboard — a relaxed café-restaurant with a large breakfast (and good pizza later), and staff who hand out local recommendations generously.
• The Box — a small hidden gem with good breakfast baps and a genuinely welcoming owner. Easy to walk past; worth finding.

The hill, again

Port Isaac's village is steep, and breakfast is at the bottom. If that matters for anyone in your group, read our flattest-way-down guide before you set off — the Port Gaverne approach is gentler.

After breakfast

Early is the best time for the village — before the day visitors arrive. Crabbing on the Platt at a low-ish tide, then the coast path either way. Evening plans: the sunset from Castle Rock. More in the Port Isaac guide.

Breakfast hours shift with the seasons and small cafés sometimes close a day or two a week out of summer — if one place is the whole plan, check before you go. Spotted something we've got wrong? Tell us and we'll fix it.
