Reviews in Cornwall

My friend and I recently had lunch at the Blue Tomato in Port Isaac and were totally disappointed with it. To start with the tonic in our G&Ts was flat, then we had to put up with three children screaming and running through the restaurant while we were trying to talk and enjoy our meals. They even knocked over one of the chairs at our table. The waitress seemed to be oblivious to this disturbance and that how that would deter prospective customers who were perusing restaurants for lunch at that time. Indeed we will never frequent this restaurant again either. In addition to that the food was overpriced and our G&Ts cost £4.50 for a flat G&T each.

A very 'trendy' bar but its gorgeous there,right overlooking the beautiful harbour.Been going to St Ives all my life,im 34,and always pay a visit wether with the girls or my husband & kids.Its only been there about 5 years i think.I'm going to St Ives for 2 weeks this year as we have a family wedding and we have hired the upstairs for a day before the wedding get together,it has a beautiful balcony overlooking St Ives harbour & there's nowhere else i'd rather be!!

I have been going to St Ives all my life,i'm 34,and eaten in lots of places over the years but we return to Peppers every year.Lots of friends visit regularly and since recommending it too them ,they always return aswell!!I'm off to St Ives for 2 weeks this year so i will more than definitely be paying Peppers a visit or 2,with my kids too,its kiddy friendly!!And they serve pitchers of Pimms & Sangria!!Very highly recommended.

My new favourite restaurant in St Ives!! The decor is great and the food is even better. The belly pork special - the best thing I ate whilst I was in town.

A hidden little gem, a real great find. We arrived at 7.30 and we were greeted by a very friendly welsh person, who soon made is feel very welcome and relaxed. The menu was great, catering for all dietary needs, with local produce and everything homemade, including the bread (yum yum) the service was very efficient and the food was very well presented and tasted amazing! Well worth a visit

The Greenhouse gives you great quality local ingredients which are very well prepared and simply presented. The surroundings are relaxed, the welcome warm and the prices more than reasonable - so it ticks all my boxes for a great restaurant. They also have a well chosen wine list and serve great local beers. We have become regulars - as much as an annual holiday in Cornwall permits - and recommend The Greenhouse to anyone we know who is going to the area. Friends have done exactly what we did the first time, eaten there and immediately booked to go back before the end of the trip, which is a recommendation in itself.

The dolphin Inn Grampound has the best Fish'nChips ever ; served as a specialty every Friday. Well and truly recommended for great pub grub

Our first visit to Squid Ink won't be our last. During a week in Looe, we booked a table for our 'dressy' night out and we were really pleased we did. The restaurant is stylish and relaxing in a traditional building tucked away and the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious; fresh, full of flavour, beautifully presented and perfect portion sizes. We recommend the surf n turf, the John Dory and stew and the white chocolate cheesecake. We also tried a bottle of the local Cornish vineyard wine, which went down very easily! A big cafetiere of fresh coffee rounded off a gorgeous meal. Price wise, even with the added bonus of getting the puds for free due to mentioning Sugarvine, it was about £80 with wine for 2, which is excellent value for money and on a par with a number of the other restaurants in the town. This place really deserves to do well.

We were lucky to find this place whilst out for a drive for lunch on our holidays. What a wonderful find. We were so impressed we returned the next evening, the place was busy but the staff were first class matching the food. The finest pork I have ever tasted. 10/10 Cant be faulted

Absolutely crazy prices even for the Rock area, a chicken burger at the exorbitant price of 13 pounds, I'd expect the whole damn chicken in a bun for that price, coffee also far too expensive. Surprisingly never seemed that busy at any time of day. About time there was some competition for this overpriced excuse for a cafe!!!.

A wonderful restaurant hiding in Liskeard in South East Cornwall with a deceptively small front which belies the spacious rooms inside. Sue is the chef who uses locally sourced produce to conjure up delightful mouthwatering food which is a pleasure both to the eye and the palette, while husband Mike fronts the restaurant guiding one through the extensive menu and advising on wines and soft beverages. We held our wedding reception at Tapenades last year and having returned several times this year, this weekend celebrated our retirement there with friends. It has never failed us and we cannot recommend it more highly! A real gem! Thank you Mike, Sue and your team.

last week me, my husband and young children all went to the oriental touch for a all you can eat buffet. we had such a warm welcome i ordered a drink that they didn't have but they went and got it for me. they were so accommodating as we needed 2 high chairs and something to keep the little ones occupied. i liked that there was plenty of choice and that my son could just keep going up for more. there was desserts there too all included in the price of £9.95! great experience going again soon!

This place is a gem! It's in the top ten beach restaurants in Cornwall. Don't be put off by it's name as it's far more than a cafe. It's a very cool bistro/ restaurant by the sea- serving good food, coffees and alcohol all day. I would particularly recommend you try and go on a sunny day or warm evening and sit 'outside.'

It's THE best fish and chip shop in Cornwall! You can get a take away and sit by the harbour, which is just behind the shop, looking out onto the famous, scenic carrick waters. Or you can eat in the brilliant restaurant- all very clean, with a modern yet traditional feel. The menu is very extensive with a guide to all the different fish and seafood. The helpings are huge (particularly the children's meal- my two girls aged 5 and 7 share one) but if you dare try the 'Moby Dick' portion. Out of season they do a 'senior citizens special' which was about £5.50 for fish, chips, bread and butter and a cup of tea! My mum who is 65 couldn't finish it! For the more healthy ones you can have your fish grilled with a salad on request. A brilliant twist is that the children's meal is served in a bucket with a free spade on the side. You must try it!!

We love going here! It's great for couples or families. The staff are very attentive and friendly, and make the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. This is definitely the best chinese in Falmouth. All the food is very good and the early bird special is very good value.

A hidden gem in Falmouth- a must for any vegetarian. I myself am not a vegetarian but love the food- it's very tasty and healthy. I like having the soup and roll as it is a very good option for a quick lunch, but everything is good there. Their pea and asparagus soup was so good I went back the next day for it again! The only downside is that it's a small cafe so fills up very quickly, so go early if you don't want to be disappointed!

I recently spent a couple of nights in this new superb hotel in Helston and enjoyed a five star dinner. The decor, menu and service were excellent and the food worthy of any top London restaurant. A truly memorable dining experience - you must try it!

Hello Stavros & George, Man.. what can I say. Being half Greek myself, living in North London, and traveling to Cyprus/Greece, plus lot's of the Greek Islands.. I was absolutely amazed by the hospitality from the Proprietors (George & Stavros) and professionalism from the staff... and lets not forget the food, ALL classic Cypriot/Greek dishes with authentic ingredients, with the freshness of the local fish and meat dishes on offer. It's worth a visit.. I recently had a weeks holiday in Newquay.. and went there 3 times. The restaurant is also open for early lunches, so a light Greek snack is worth it's while before indulging yourself into Newquay's high life!!! WICKED!!!!! Jason
