"A amazing birthday from start to finish.
Greeted by friendly and accommodating staff. We enjoyed the complimentary bread with whipped butter. Plenty of options for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The artichoke risotto was sublime and so was the beef strip loin. Followed by cocktails in the Bay bar across the corridor, a perfect evening. Great atmosphere"

"Amazing experience! We were in Cornwall for holiday and we discovered this through Google maps. We were not disappointed. The young chef impress us and every single dish was absolutely delicious. My partner had the catch of the day and the brill was fresh, tasty and the sauce paired with was so good. I had the lobster and I was so pleased. Presentation was 💯. We had 2 starters, both delightful and the dessert! Wow, strawberries and cream was a nice end to the lovely dinner. Highly recommend! Compliments to the chef and the amazing staff!"

Just footsteps from our luxury apartments at Fistral Beach, Dune serves everything from gourmet burgers to succulent steaks, delicious desserts to the catch of the day. The passion of the culinary team shines through into each carefully-crafted plate, and the views are honestly unbeatable!. We recommend the popular 5-course tasting menu (complete with personalised wine pairings), or even stepping off the beaten track and sampling some of the vegan delights on their exclusive menu.

Laid Back Luxury & Fine Dining at Fistral Beach Hotel - The Cornish Life
We at at the hotel’s Dune Restaurant in the evening, and were very excited to try out the 5 course tasting menu. The restaurant does also offer an a la carte menu for £37pp for two courses and £45pp for 3 courses (accurate at the time of writing this), but with the 5 course tasting menu being £65pp I would definitely recommend going for that if you can!
REVIEW: Dune Restaurant, Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall
We were staying at one of the bays best hotels too, Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa – home to the wonderful Dune Restaurant. The dining room is perched on the edge of the cliffs looking out over the sea at all the surfers riding the many waves. Pre-dinner we took up cocktails in the Bay Bar first which were a real highlight.
