The Mulberry Falmouth

Relatively new to the scene, but nevertheless packing a punch with a Muddy Stilettos Best Restaurant Award for 2022 tucked under its belt only a few months after opening, The Mulberry in Falmouth has quickly found a firm foothold, fusing fine dining with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to put you at ease as you sample the very best of local flavours. With chefs Harry Cartwright and Jay Brady at the helm, each bringing their own unique skills and perspectives to the plate, local, seasonal and sustainable produce is at the core of everything they do, using local suppliers wherever they can, and even foraging a lot of their ingredients themselves. Much like Ugly Butterfly, The Mulberry aims to produce as little food waste as possible, with a determination to use every part of an animal, fruit or vegetable, ordering in whole cuts of meat from butchers like Philip Warrens.

Tucked away down a narrow passageway, a set of steep steps lead you down to the much-celebrated The Mulberry, a warm, welcoming dining experience with a focus on Cornwall’s rich larder of seasonal produce that's earned the restaurant a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Chef Jay studied under Nathan Outlaw, while chef Harry’s international travels lend a worldly touch to his creations. There’s the option of the six course tasting menu with the likes of yuzu and limoncello cured trout, Newlyn line-caught bass, and west country duck to enjoy, or you can try the small plates for a more laidback affair such as Falmouth saffron arancini, Mylor scallops, and Philip Warren’s pork belly.

The Mulberry Falmouth’s menu focuses on a selection of small plates that champion the seafood of their surroundings in dishes that are inspired by a wide range of cultural influences. This includes a Chalk stream trout ceviche accompanied by fermented chili and blackened chili and Cornish hake served with Sweetheart cabbage and an anchovie and tarragon emulsion. Other plates feature dishes like their blue corn tostada with pork belly, Falmouth saffron arancini with preserved lemon mayonnaise, and mushroom ravioli with shimeji mushrooms and a mushroom sauce.

The Mulberry is another great choice for those looking to head to a restaurant in Falmouth. Slightly different to the other options we’ve looked at so far, the Mulberry is a fine-dining restaurant that still utilises local cuisine and culinary ideas. They focus on small plates and accompanying wines to serve to their customers, which means you may find it difficult to fill your stomach if you’re a big eater.

Nestled down an alleyway off Falmouth's quaint high street, The Mulberry offers a warm and relaxed dining experience that showcases the best of Cornwall's produce. With menus that change with the seasons and a choice between a set tasting menu or small tasting plates, this charming restaurant promises a culinary journey that is both flavourful and diverse.

Despite being only 30 and 24 respectively the pair have worked in top restaurants from Hampshire to Australia as well as Michelin restaurants in Cornwall. They have taken on the former premises of tucked away French restaurant La Cave, which closed on Mulberry Passage off Falmouth's High Street earlier this year.
