Another excellent evening at Austells. We were so touched that they remembered us (thank you Emma) even though we can only visit when we are down in Cornwall for a holiday/short break. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for value, service, and above all, excellent food. Look forward to seeing you all again in July!

We have been visiting Brett and Emma at Austells for many years and it just seems to get better every time and considering our first meal was excellent you wonder how it can improve. The service is second to none, all staff very helpful with a warm smile and Brett does what he does best in the kitchen. A1**

Austell's has been through some hard times recently, with changes of ownership and staff. If you feel uncertain, be reassured that all is in running order once again. Brett is back at the helm in the kitchen, and there you may see him turning out a sequence of great dishes of unfailingly high standard. Emma, at front of house, welcomes you and attends to your every need. All the former little touches of elegance are back.And for dining out of this quality the prices are very moderate.You don't believe everything you read in recommendations? Well, don't miss the chance to go and check this one!

We went to Austells for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary recently; I have never left a review before but I feel compelled to support a fabulous local Cornish restaurant. Seated at the bar for a pre-dinner drink the friendly staff picked up we were celebrating a special occasion. The two glasses of bubbly were then made "on the house" and when we were shown to our table it had been discretely decorated! A really nice touch! The food itself was fabulous with the rissoto and confit of pork particularly good. Although we ate from the al a carte they are currently providing a "Pot Luck" menu which offers a cut down version of the main menu with a 3 course meal cost for £20. Given the quality of the food that is great value and is obviously popular given how busy the place was for a Thursday evening. The staff were great and with an open kitchen you can watch the Chef prepare your food. We went to Fifteen about 6 weeks ago for my wife's birthday and I can safely say Austells is twice as good and half the price!!

Visited Austells Restaurant Wednesday 17th March 2010 for a quiet Birthday meal for two. Greeted with a complimentary glass of Champagne and it only got better from there on. The food was excellent the staff were very pleasant and attentive and the owner 'Brett' was very welcoming and concerned your food was perfect. This Restaurant is a journey worth the visit and I will be returning again. Highly recommended for adults

Wow! This restaurant is what St. Austell has been waiting for - a Fine Dining experience directed and created by Brett, the Chef-Proprietor. We had the best seats in the house and watched in awe as Brett created dish after mouth-watering dish. It was like watching an artist producing a masterpiece. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. The staff are friendly, efficient and professional in every way. The food is to die for and I can honestly say that this was one of if not the best meal I have ever had - and I am not easy to please! The extensive and moderately priced wine list offers something for everyone from a delicious Chilean Merlot to a crisp Chardonnay and for those with a nose for something a little special, there is plenty of choice. Nothing is too much trouble here and Brett and his team are clearly passionate about their work. It was an absolute pleasure chatting to the man himself after the meal. If you plan to eat out in St. Austell, do not miss this experience!!!

Sunday September9th, 2007, what a great place to find really decent cooking in the St Austell area. This part of Cornwall has been something of desert when it comes to good places to eat and in this new venue, what is guaranteed is very good raw materials which are then turned into really great food. Extremely good service and a good international wine list ensured we had a fantastic dinner. Strongly recommended if you are looking for serious food near St Austell.

We were looking for somewhere within walking distance of our hotel to eat on the first evening of our holiday. We decided to try Austells and were amazed. Food, ambience and service outstanding. We only stayed in Cornwall for 4 nights but two of them were spent at Austells. On the second night we asked to be seated next to the kitchen and watching the food being prepared was an experience in itself. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic food & surroundings, plus excellent service. The desserts particularly are to die for! Well worth a visit.
