Oh we do like to be beside the seaside and Penzance is one of the best places to dine, date and meet like-minded singles.

The relatively new Zero Lounge definitely doesn't get null points when it comes to a great place to meet. With it's funky decor and crowd-pleasing cocktails, this is a slice of style on Chapel Street. If you like your drinking more trad, try taking your date to the Adminral Benbow which is decked out ('scuse the pun!) in martime memorabilia and serves some great local aleas. The match makers at westcountrysingles.co.uk in Penzance love Blue Snappa at the Market Place. Serving up steaks, salads and super fresh fish it is casual but great quality.

Old romantics might want to try Gino's Spaghetti House along the Promenade. You can't beat the views and for old school red and wine table cloths and proper Italian fare, you can't go wrong with taking your date here for a bottle of Chianti - or three!
