Review on The Old Sail Loft Restaurant

Tucked away in one of the oldest buildings in Looe, The Old Sail Loft is an atmospheric restaurant which was once the haunt of smugglers and local fishermen. Largely preserved in its original form, the interior features beams and roof trusses built of old English oak, some said to have been salvaged from the timbers of local wrecks.

A great selection of locally caught seafood dominates the menu and the list of international wines is a perfect accompaniment, while vibrant modern artwork mingles with seafaring relics in the smart yet intimate dining room.
