South African born chef Hylton Espey, alongside his wife Petronella, own and operate Culture Restaurant in Falmouth. After moving to Cornwall in 2016 the duo opened their own restaurant in July 2022.
Culture is a farm to table restaurant showcasing the best hyper local produce served as a seven course Journey menu for dinner and a five course Discovery menu for lunch. The menus are told as a story of where all the ingredients come from, the inspiration and who harvests them.
The intimate twenty cover restaurant overlooks the open kitchen where Hylton combines modern techniques, ancient traditions, and open fire cookery on his custom braai/bbq. Wine enthusiasts love the glass wine cellar where Hylton and Petronella showcase some of their personal favourites from old and new world producers.
Culture was awarded a Green MICHELIN Star in 2023 as well as Three AA Rosettes for 2023-2024.
