Reviews in Cornwall

A night to remember! This restaurant unknown to many but is the hidden gem of north Cornwall, myself and my family came from North Lancashire, to jazz week last year and many years before and we have eaten in virtually every place and I can say the Ben offers such wonderful delights and price is good for the largest plates ever! The service was wonderful, with a young male waiter who seemed to make the whole meal at ease and I am sure ill see him running something like this in the years to come. With the home form home charm, don? miss it... recommend in the busier period book in advance but sometime just pop in and they will try their best to seat u!

I went to Gulshan some years ago when it was in Grampound & I remember the food being good. However, on our visit tonight, the food was excellent! I had a really delicious lamb balti, with lots of tender lamb & a lovely thick flavoursome sauce. Really good portions of pilau rice (about the same price as Chantek, but at least 4 times as much!) The naan bread was cooked to perfection, unlike some leathery offerings I have been presented with at some Indian restaurants! I would even rate the house wine highly & I am quite fussy about my wine! A bottle is £10.50 & there is a reasonable selection of other drinks. Service was good & unobtrusive; the only criticism I have is that we booked for 7 & it was nearly 7.30 when we were shown to our table. Still, we were served pretty promptly. A good sign was how busy it was for a Sunday, with a steady stream of people for takeaways as well. The restaurant used to be a coffee shop & it is very light & airy. There is a small bar area & white leather sofas to wait on. Very clean toilets!! We are already planning our next visit & will pop in for takeaway if we are returning from a shopping trip in Truro.

Went to Chantek for the first time last night - it was absolutely packed on both floors, really buzzing, but the staff could not have been friendlier. Our waitress just smiled all the time! We were lucky enough to sit right next to the kitchen, which is great fun, especially when flames shot into the air from the woks!! I chose red duck curry, which was wonderful, but I think I would have been more than happy with any of the dishes. Mine contained fresh pineapple & grapes! I only had a couple of minor gripes - the rice is overpriced for the size of the portion. It is £2.50 for jasmine rice & you only get a very small bowl, so you are left with loads of sauce. The noodles are also a bit pricey at £4.50. Also, the winelist is short & a bit ordinary eg Jacobs Creek, Blossom Hill etc. We paid £20 for a bottle of Chablis, which was nothing exceptional. My best friend is booking a table for Saturday on the strength of last night & we can't wait to sample another superb meal!

We have eaten here several times and found it excellent, overlooking the harbour at St ives this is a fantastic place to eat, if you are going at the weekend its best to book as its always full, there is also another in the same chain as this in St Ives called Peppers further up the main street , also excellent.

This has to be the best-kept "secret" in the Cornwall. I have eaten here so many times because the Blackboard specials change daily and the Steaks and portion sizes are legendary. Chef, Gary and all the staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely outside seating area in olde worlde courtyard.

we were really glad we found this great spot. well cooked local food with a really laid back atmosphere

fantastic location with the food and atmosphere to match

It is a lovely little place situated in a Cornish fishing village. The food was great, the menu had a good selection and the friendly helpful staff made it a great place to eat out with the whole family.

The Garrack Hotel sits atop St Ives, where Phil Thomas served his scallops on a very unusual black olive mash, with Sakura leaves and grain mustard dressing. No time for a lengthy engagement, this combination rushed straight into marriage! The taste of the mash and the texture of the scallops caused a gleeful conversation in my mouth which hadn? anticipated such a happy blend. The purple leaves, like clover tasting of rocket, with the mustard dressing beautifully complimented the perfectly succulent seafood.

I can thoroughly recommend Coffee Traders in Truro. Great choice of hot and cold food, all freshly prepared and cooked to order; ranging from a toasted teacake right up to a cooked meal. Items include cakes and pastries, toasted sandwiches, home-made soups, baguettes and wraps, plus lots more, offering great value for money. The café has bright, airy surroundings, and the staff members are both friendly and willing to accommodate. A baby change facility is available on the first floor. If the aroma of freshly perked coffee doesn? tempt you, then nothing will!

A wonderful meal and children made to feel very welcome. Great atmosphere, we will be returning soon!!

A beautiful meal with starter and main cooked to perfection and a wonderful dessert. After eating in the pricier Restaurants in Padstow we decided that we liked the experience every bit as much in No6 if not more. The quality was every bit as good as the top end Restaurants; that? not to say that the food is cheap, it isn? its mid range. Definitely good value for money. We also found that many diners were local people which is good testament to the quality of the food, decor & service.

Always love going to the Bash Baagan - there is a lovely friendly atmosphere and the food is excellent.

Relaxed and informal. Had a private feel which would be welcome come high season. Beautiful food - fresh produce from the surrounding area (both land and sea). Absolutely delicious. Good service. Well recommended! I plan on returning this year whilst holidaying down that way. After two weeks away and not eating how you'd like, Sophia's was a God send. Thank you!

Very pleased to have experienced such a memorable meal at Sagor. The food was exquisite and the staff were very friendly. I had visited Sagor during my holidays in Launceston, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a restaurant that offers both traditional & contemporary indian food.

One of the best meals I have had here, perfectly cooked, tender, salt & pepper squid followed by an awesome fillet steak. Great puddings, dessert wine and a superb bottle of Burgundy. Perfect food on a wet night.

I enjoyed a fantastic New Year's Ve here and want to go back for every celebration on the calendar.

Ate there on a cold February Saturday-had to book they turned lots of people away. Excellent food had a mix of early evening menu and a la carte, very good rose half bottle of wine. Ask for one of the tables in the window upstairs, for a stunning view of the harbour.
