Paul Ainsworth at Number 6 Review

Amazing food, excellent service. A real treat for the taste buds

Excellent service Excellent food, can't wait to go back

Absolutely fantastic night at No 6. By far the best restaurant I have ever been to. You get what you pay for, but everything about our night out was excellent. The attention to detail, the theatre of the service and very friendly too. The food was outstanding, as one would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant.

Amazing.. the set lunch is not to be missed. Lucky enough to get a table watching the chef's at work, even Paul himself. The waiting staff were efficient and really friendly. A fantastic birthday afternoon.

Fantastic dining experience and knowledgable friendly staff

Amazing food, this is what you want when visiting Padstow, look forwards to 2021 when we can book a table

Absolutely outstanding. Food (as you d expect) is incredible and worth the price tag. Decor and atmosphere is also really cool.

Lovely welcome superb food and menu choices extra special touch to celebrate my birthday!

I enjoyed the upstairs bar for our aperitifs as much as the meal itself, do make time for it. A warm yet elegant decor.
Not my first trip to this restaurant and will fail to be my last. The food remains rich in texture and detail, service is unpompous, palettes are repeatedly happy and mood upon departure is merry. Long may Paul reign.

Excellent fine dining experience in contemporary and comfortable environment. Very professional and friendly staff. This is what fine dining should be....quality ingredients, sympathetically treated without losing a sense of fun and theatre. Superb.

Very friendly, attentive and helpful staff.
Great mood lighting, music and ambience.
Delectable food in all areas, from starter to desert.
Very well researched wine list with perfect pairings.

Foodie delight, excellent front of house, cute lounge

Has to be on your list of places to visit. Not enough words to describe the experience. Fantastic service, hospitality and the food served is amazing.

Had the autumn set menu. Food was excellent, so were the drinks. Especially liked artichoke soup!

Boring food cost 196 pounds worth 30 pounds Rick Steins great. and he s fish and chip shop

Our son 'treated' my husband and I to a meal here for our Golden wedding anniversary and what an incredible meal we had! Every mouthful was an adventure in exquisite taste. The food was truly amazing and the attention lavished on us by the staff was unbelievable! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening - we will definitely return.

Amazing food, excellent attentive staff and well worth a visit. We will certainly be returning

Brilliant. If you are in Padstow go to Number 6. Fantastic food!

A truly excellent meal in a cosy setting with a super host who invited us to his kitchen to watch the magic happening

Absolutely beautiful 4 course meal with complimentary "Welcome to Cornwall" supplements between some courses.
Proper, spot on service and a lovely atmosphere to go with some of the best food I've ever tasted. Compliments to Paul Ainsworth and Chris McClurg, as well as the rest of the team at Number 6!

Had a perfect lunch could not fault the staff or the food would highly recommend

Great food, and they modified the menu for my pregnant wife without any problems. Wine by the glass is a little pricey!

Really amazing food! Make sure you try the bread and butter pudding!

Still one of my favourite restaurants. Friendly service and amazing food.

The best place I've ever eaten bar none! Food is sublime, service faultless and the whole experience leaves you yearning for more. I have never been disappointed and keep coming back for more. Love it!

Fantastic food, well presented. Not too expensive either for a Michelin

Beautiful food, small Michelin portion size but an ordered 3 course ended up as a 4 course with the welcoming dish.

Outstanding the oyster...the hogget dish..beautiful!

Absolutely superb, couldn't fault a single aspect - food, drinks, service, atmosphere (even with the Covid measures). Exquisite dining experience with innovative, delicious dishes and just the right amount of theatre. Pace of service was just right and we ended up having a longer and more relaxed lunch than anticipated, but that was probably because we didn't want the experience to end.

Lovely people, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food..!

Amazing dining experience. Food service & ambience wonderful

Just lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful, the venue is delightful and the food sublime.

Visited for my girlfriends 30th Birthday meal. There was a lovely card waiting for her when we arrived. The service was brilliant (friendly staff makes all the difference) and the food on the a la carte menu was fantastic. We had a great cocktail upstairs after the meal. Coupled with the fact it s in Padstow, it s pretty dreamy! Perfect for any special occasion.

Fabulous place to dine or just to enjoy the evening.
Food is stunning.
Thanks to all chefs and staff for being excellent for what you do.

We had the rib of beef to share here with raw scallop to start and trifle and puff pastry for desert. The food was some of the best we've eaten the service although it was OK was not what you get in Michelin Stared restaurant in London. Still worth 5 stars though as overall for us its about food which was spot on.

Superb service. Looked after well. Loved the private dining room. Great good as always. Will be back

Excellent love it service brilliant food fantastic.

An incredible meal for our anniversary. As good as the reviews suggest plus more.

What a shame that a chef like Paul Ainsworth NEED to do TV shows and write cooking books because of money and greed instead of just cooking as he is trained for but I guess he is just too LAZY for doing that

Went lunchtime for a family celebration. Excellent food and attentive service. We had to children with us and they were welcomed. Relaxed atmosphere but top quality.

Reluctant to say how good this place is as it will just make it too hard to book a table! Outstanding food and service, good selection of wines, cosy little place. Hope to go back again someday.

10/10 all round. Attention to detail, quality, service, personal touches to make your visit that bit more special. A real must visit.

Absolutely amazing meal, fantastic service and just a very special treat

I took my mum for her 60th just over a year ago.The staff were extremely welcoming, warm and helpful. They had written her a birthday card which was a lovely little touch. The food was immense, I had scallops for starters and duck for main. Mum had the fairground desert and simply ....WOW. If I didn t live 6 hour drive from Padstow I d eat there on a monthly basis.

Lovely family friendly restaurant, staff were very attentive, chef's friendly and food was fantastic.

Brilliant. My partner and I went for my brithday and we were deeply impressed. Service was immaculate and food was beautiful. Managed to get pictures of everything except for the two scone dishes (the caramelized butter was delicious I would love a recipe) and the dessert. We had the fairground inspired dessert and it was so good it disappeared before I thought about taking a picture. Deserves all the Parise it has gotten over the years. My first time dining at one of Paul's establishments but I would definitely return and highly recommend. Many thanks.

Exceptional food for a - of course - high yet reasonable price.

Have wanted to try this restaurant for some time. We have just had a splendid lunch there. There are 2 menus. A set lunch and al a carte menu. We went for the al a carte .
Excellent knowledgeable service. Good food selection and interesting wine list.
London prices and London service. The kitchen is visible from most seats and shows how professional the team are.
We went on a Tuesday lunch time and the restaurant was full. You must book and I would suggest quite a way in advance.
Parking can be a problem. You will have to use one of the nearby public car parks.
All in all an excellent experience to be repeated.

Never fails to impress. Everytime we go here we know the food is going to be good and delicious but we are always reminded of the effort that goes into making this a must try place to eat. The set lunch is a excellent way to get a taste of what they do at a very reasonable price.

Always great... Awesome service in splendid surroundings.
We had the set lunch this time which was their new Autumn lunch. Highly recommended and a very good deal for a Michelin starred restaurant.
Thank you very much to the whole team... they go out of their way to make your visit truly special.
We received complimentary specials... much appreciated.

Food was fantastic, restaurant itself was lovely & Paul Ainsworth is a genuine lovely gent. Definitely be going back, just fab. One thing I would say is staff not quite attentive as you would expect from a Michelin restaurant but overall a fantastic night

We went to no 6 for my wifes' 50 birthday and were not disappointed. We arrived and were shown to our table where we found a birthday card and hand written too which was a nice touch . Service was excellent which you would expect in this calibre of restaurant and the food more than lived up to its reputation. We were given an amouse bouche of a deep fried oyster . For starters I had the raw bream and my wife had the pigs head fritter both of which were excellent . We had hogget and fish for main courses and for dessert my wife had the apple pie (which came with a blue cheese, amazing !) . And I had the puff pastry . All the food was fantastic . They wine list was quite extensive and the staff were very helpful giving advice on wine choice. All in all a fantastic experience. Keep an eye out for the art work on the walls and the bar upstairs is a nice place to relax with an after dinner drink .

Amazing restaurant, an absolute must to visit when in Padstow.

Just amazing. The best food experience of our lives. If you have the chance then you should definitely book a table. Excellent food and service.

Superb. 5/5 for service, 5/5 for food - great experience and well worth the visit. Paul Ainsworth has a real gem here in padstow. The dishes are refined and deconstructed from classic combinations. For example, the quiche lorraine to start and the most amazing rib of beef as a main. For desert I highly recommend the cheese - apple tarte tatin with a wedge of barkham blue (the best blue cheese I have tasted) on the side, in addition to a small glass of cider. Number 6 have a very talented head chef and senior sous chef, and paul ainsworth has created a menu where every dish is something that makes you think 'I really want to eat that'. To top it off, the service is impeccable. All the staff know every detail about each dish and are incredibly hospitable and friendly. This was a truly great experience and I recommend it to anyone who visits Cornwall. Well done to Paul for creating this absolute treasure and thank you to all the staff for a wonderful evening.

Went for a set course lunch which was great value! Food was awesome (highly recommend the pork dish). My wife was pregnant at the time and we found them highly accommodating and flexible to their menu. Great staff with a welcoming atmosphere - will definitely be returning!

Absolutely superb service and the food was excellent

Amazing food, great staff. Made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived, nothing was to much trouble. Will defiantly go again.

This is the level that other restaurants need to try to get to
From when we walked in to the time or coats were handed to as we left the service was spectacular. So many staff all making sure you had everything you needed.
Food was sublime
Each course beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Have been to a few Michelin star restaurants and this is up there with the best of them
Stein set the bar, Ainsworth just notched it up considerably

Slightly disappointed with the reputation and the price but quality service and food despite everything. I do not however recommend the chocolate dessert.

Lynn&Mark Phillips.... This place is incredible, I can honestly say its the best food we have ever eaten(and we have eaten in many high end places incuding dubai). The staff were out standing and each dish came with a new element of surprise. Paul Ainsworth you have truly hit the pinnacle of what high end food is all about. Thank you for an amazing evening.

The best you will find for service, presentation and taste.

Absolutely delicious, but go with plenty of space. I hurt at the end because I couldn't bear to leave anything!

Please keep in mind that Paul is a *star chef so for us this was equivalent to a night out meal that we couldn t have with children on holiday.

We were a little apprehensive to go to a nice restaurant for lunch with 2x8 year olds, but we thought we would give it a go. The head waiter made every effort to be more then welcoming. One of my boys asked for chips with his fish goujons and even though it wasn t on the menu they managed to oblige and wip some up to keep him happy.

The lunch menu was fantastic and we felt like we had the same quality the one would expect for a top notch evening dinner at what we thought was great value for the quality of food.

We couldn t recommend this place highly enough! The wine recommends are a must, and the chocolate treats that came with our coffee just finished the experience off nicely.

Unscheduled stop with friends for a cream tea and a catch up. Welcoming and warm. Ended up staying a lot longer than originally intended. Definitely recommended.

Everything I hoped it would be . And worth every penny .

Took my parents for their 50th Wedding Anniversary & it was wonderful. Top drawer

I was expecting a lot more when visiting last weekend. The atmosphere in the restaurant reminded me of a canteen, very echoey with no music although the decor was nice. The food itself was a little plain, the monkfish was pleasant enough, the Dover sole pretty bland. The service was ok but not great. Overall feel a little cheated considering the pricing.

Fantastic food great service flavours were terrific we haven't tasted food like this for years the goose liver melted in your mouth the texture of the oyster was magic and the fillet of beef was wonderful we can't wait to go back next year!
