What customers say?

“ We'd never tried Portuguese Pintxos before, not only did it look amazing the taste was unreal. The small plates we ordered were mouth wateringly good too. The laid back atmosphere, cool music and friendly staff make this place so inviting. Can't wait to come back again. Good luck in your new venture Ben and team ”

“ So happy I’ve found this place! The food was so interesting and delicious, drinks beautifully made and punchy, service 10/10 and they were so helpful with allergies, everything was amazing. I couldn’t recommend it more and can’t wait to go back. ”

- Grace Heywood-Mead -

“ Excellent tasting plates and convivial staff. They put their hearts into the food and service. The cuisine may not appeal to those raised on burgers and chips, but please expand your minds and give Counterculture a try. ”

“ Beautiful food. Great wine and beer. The service was excellent too, they were very accommodating to me and my young family, making the kids their very own pasta dish! Would highly recommend ”

- Lucy Smith -

“ An absolute delight. My partner and I had an early meal and couldn’t fault the fantastic food. Flavour packed and well thought out menu that meant we could sample a variety of tastes while still complimenting one aspect with another (salted fish pie and pork cheek with mushrooms were superb). Drink’s recommendations were excellent (Mezcalita was a winner) as was the music choices. Not to mention the relaxed friendly vibe of the owner & staff was a welcoming addition which will ensure we return. ”

- Hayley Green -

“ If I could I would give this review more than 5 stars! The food was excellent! Beautiful combination of flavors and such creative interpretations of the Basque pintxos we love so much. The staff was so friendly as well and we felt very welcome It was the best food we ate here in Newquay definitely would recommend ”

“ Brilliant place to spend your time enjoying a drink and delicious and considered food. Absolutely beautiful. Tajin rimmed margaritas, if you know you know. Special thanks to Yune and Katie xx ”

“ Absolute gem of a place! Everything we were served exceeded expectations, from the Spanish orange wine to the outrageously good burnt Basque cheesecake. Can't actually pick a stand-out dish and the service was spot on too. After spending a week in Padstow, can safely say this was far better than any of the pricy, celebrity chef restaurants. I find it hard to believe there's anywhere nicer in Cornwall! ”
