2 Fore Street in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

DOG FRIENDLY YAY. in the garden out back which is a lovely setting. And the best cake I've had in Cornwall so far. Try rhe Lemon drizzle. Chocolate cake was also divine.

It was one of our best meals during 10 days holiday in Cornwall All the dishes were fine dinning , cooked well and reasonably priced The Fettuccini with lemon and crab sauce was the best dish I had in Cornwell

Can’t fault it. Went for lunch on Sunday at around 3. Wife and I had Mussels and fries, which were great(surprisingly large portions). Son had burger which he liked too. Nice to see them serving local wine. A winner.

Just wow, they did it again! Last night we had an amazing dinner at No 2 with some friends. I started with a special of mackerel served with beetroot on a slice of bruschetta it was fabulous. Then I had, also from the specials board, the hake with prawns and samphire, honestly it was exceptional, this kitchen can really cook fish. Finished off with their crime brûlée. If you haven’t been go! We will certainly be back. Thank you to the lovely staff too xxxx

Delicious and flavoursome food. Booked a large table for a joint belated birthday celebration. All the mains and deserts were delicious and a great choice of drinks too.

We stepped into this warm, inviting restaurant to escape a cold, breezy fall day. Everything was delicious, but we especially enjoyed the pan fried John Dory on a bed of celeriac puree.

Food was excellent. I had the seafood platter, can highly recommend it. Service was informal, which isn't bad per se but there were three members of staff who frequently seemed to stand at the bar chatting loudly, bit to relaxed. Also an excellent rose.

A delicious meal with lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere - will definitely come again when next staying in Mousehole.

Superb, best in town, easily. Unpretentious, just excellent food, beautifully presented by pleasant efficient staff.

On arrival in Mousehole, the restaurant was packed, therefore booked in the next day for our first evening. The menu looked interesting and varied, I had the scallops as a main, they were presented well in their shells and delicious, my partner had the burger which looked amazing. Deserts we had croissant bread and butter sauce and the rice pudding and soaked prunes in Armagnac… both beautiful. If you’re in the area, worth a visit but would call and book to be certain of a table. A wonderful evening…

Lovely cream tea and veggie cooked breakfast.

We had lunch here today in a very pleasant setting. My partner enjoyed a BLT and I was looking forward to the ‘Hand Dressed Newlyn Crab sandwich.’ However, it was most disappointing at £19.50! The bread was easily 1 cm thick with rather challenging ‘crusts’ … and the crab meat was mixed with so much mayonnaise and rocket that it was almost indistinguishable! Disappointing!

Lovely terrace dinner with fresh fish and sea food, I definitely recommend the scallops! Just make sure to book in advance for a delicious meal in Cornwall!

Excellent restaurant. Very tasty food. We had an extraordinarily tasty risotto (one of the best I have ever tasted) and some fresh mussels in an abundant quantity. Recommended restaurant if you are in Mousehole.

Stylish seafood restaurant with excellent cuisine. Try the mussels, absolutely delicious!

I looked this restaurant up on Google as we wanted some good seafood and 2 Fore Street did not disappoint. Fantastic restaurant very rustic yet modern and the outside area is lovely. We ordered Crab Souffle and BBQ pork belly to start and then Mussels and the Sea Bass fillets from the specials board it was all amazing. I had the rice pudding for afters, absolutely lovely. Only 1 small gripe, We didn't think the mussels needed a side of fries, would've been better if they came with bread.

Pretty busy usually, and you gotta book in advance. We came in at 4, and came back later for a 5 PM table. I was there at 4:50 PM. They informed me they have a table outside. I had a stroller with me for my nephew, and I was asked to see them again in 10 minutes so I had to take the stroller out. Service generally could use some work. They could've had me leave the stroller inside, or seat me and wait for them to open for service, instead of just waiting by the door... Coming in, the menus are pretty simple and easy to understand. There is also a special menu, but it's not on paper. It's written on a board. I ordered the sea food platter, and a few other things. The food generally tasted good, but I wouldn't say it's flavorful nor worthy of the price. It's overly priced, and the service isn't over the top. Overall, I'd say overpriced and not the most welcoming restaurant. If there are other places open, go there.

Dinner in the garden was fantastic!! We were slightly apprehensive about eating outdoors having not visited before but it’s a really lovely little space. The food was delicious, the fillet steak perfect and the sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve had! Service was great for the most part, the staff are all really friendly and create a lovely relaxed atmosphere!

A busy spot for a delicious dinner! While they specialize in the abundant local seafood, we opted for the beef and mushroom ragu and the burger, both were excellent. Definitely make a reservation.

We wouldn’t recommend it! Poor service, unfriendly staff who ignored us every time we wanted something. The food was tasty, but there was a huge gap between the starter and main course. I have never written a bad review, but was very disappointed with this restaurant.

We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant in Mousehole, definitely the best since we’ve been in Cornwall. Delicious, fresh grilled lemon sole with a combination of ingredients to delight the palate. Highly recommend dining here. We were blessed with great weather too so we did Alfresco dining in the lovely garden.

Nice coffee and a delicious cream tea

Walked in to this lovely restaurant/cafe for a coffee. It was empty so ordered a cappuccino and sat down. Coffee arrived, it was not a cappuccino more like a flat white. They certainly don’t know how to make Barista coffee here yet they know how to charge for it. Milk was over heated, it was so hot. Two other people arrived and sat for ages before being asked if they were being served! A disappointing visit for what looked like a smart place to eat!

The restaurant is light and airy. The menu is good and varied. I ordered scallops for my main and they were well overdone but my wife had the pasta and whilst a little heavy on the sauce it was nice. The problem the owner has is the staff. There were 6 waitresses on shift way too many for a restaurant that size.All of them struggled to smile at the customers. There was no interaction when bringing drinks or food and we just got the feeling we were interrupting their day. Note to owner,when serving drinks it looks better and is safer when served from a tray not grasped between various fingers and tell the waitress with the random tattoos that constantly chewing gum is not a good look. She reminded me of a Highland cow chewing the cud.

Great place with great fresh local food! Would definitely recommend and I look forward to returning

Amazing food and venue, lovely evening. Would eat here again

Totalement surévalué. Contenu des assiettes décevants. Les St Jacques annoncées avec un spiced lobster butter ressemblent plus à des noix de pétoncles panées dans du beurre nature. Et le service ne permet pas de rectifier le tir. L’apéritif est à peine servi que les entrées arrivent… De plus, pas un sourire. Addition de plus de 250£ pour 3… À ce prix-là, on va manger chez Gordon Ramsey à Londres…et on n’est pas déçus…

Such a beautiful little restaurant in the heart of little Mousehole. Food was delicious and the staff are very kind. Chefs work hard to create a lovely menu, and it is worth every penny. Thank to both FOH and BOH teams for such a lovely welcome.

Excellent food and great views. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

Phenomenal food and lovely outside area. Very dog friendly.

My aunt and I had a lovely lunch here a couple of weeks ago. The scallops were the best I have ever had. The service was second to none and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. No one rushed us. You have to try this restaurant.

We had lunch here and decided to try the fixed menu option. It was value for money, and the food was excellent. The service was great, and our waitress was very friendly. This is also a dog friendly restaurant. We sat in the courtyard at the back, which was lovely as it was a sunny day. It's definitely a great place to eat.

Absolutely stunning place to eat and dog friendly if you sit on terrace. The food was brilliant, with a fantastic menu and daily specials. We were only in Mousehole for a week, but we ended up going twice because it was so good the first time. The marinated anchovies even converted my partner, who isn't usually a fan! Twice baked crab souffle was sublime, as was the really smooth chicken liver parfait.

We didn’t book and the accommodating staff managed to find a table for us in the garden. The food was stunning. Fresh and cooked beautifully. The crème brûlée was the best I have had. The drinks were locally sourced as were the ingredients we ate. The atmosphere was calm and efficient but the staff were so friendly and professional it really made our last night in Cornwall very special.

On recent visit to Mousehole Cornwall we were located close to 2 Fore St Restaurant. We pre booked a table for 2 it was comfortably busy for late May but if they have space they would have fit us in on the night. Very welcoming and friendly front of house made a great first impression which good start, this trend did not faulter. The std menu is good with something for all and children. Not a stuffy Restaurant welcoming familys young and old. The specials menu was actually special i chose the cod from this menu which was the best meal i have had in recent memory. My wife and i had a terrific meal and made a lasting memory i'm sure. Dont expect pub price this is a cut above after all it is a restaurant. Priced fairly i would say for the art that arrives on your plate. If i'm ever in Mousehole again 100% will go back.

Visited on off chance, whilst on holiday. We sat outside with our little, dog.. The garden area is really cute.. Don't think all the staff are over friendly which is a shame really.. Only one young girl had a, smile on her face.. Super nice she was.. Had her hair tied back too and was main server.. Never mind we all have bad days I guess.. But 1st impressions really do count!! Having been in customer service all my life.. Rule no 1 smile and interact..

Perfunctory service let the whole dining experience down.

Recently had another visit to my favourite restaurant. They have a new menu and I had the “Hot Cornish Seafood Plate with Crab Mayonnaise” Stunning meal as ever and this was one of the best!

Just returned from an evening meal at Two Fore Street, Mousehole, and would highly recommend. We had the Lemon Sole and Sweet Potato burger and they were both delicious. The service was relaxed and friendly, and the restaurant had a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who clearly knew the menu inside out. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable meal and we will definitely return. First class.

Delicious I recommend the mussels and crab soup

Casual but still feels quite fancy, simple food but absolutely delicious and great service. Lovely evening meal for two - bit more of an expensive treat for ourselves but well worth it for the quality of the food. Prawns in the linguine and again with the garlic and chilli were sublime. Highly recommend

Wow, What an amazing experience. I was taken here by my fiancee for my birthday. I love fishy things which she knows. We have a small dog which can cause a problem, but not here. We sat in the garden with a heater above the table which kept us warm. The food was amazing.

If you are in Mousehole go to this restaurant. Sea creatures in all shapes and deliciously prepared. The whole thing is crowned by a beautiful view of the street/bay.

Genuinely excellent. Set price lunch was incredible value. No dogs inside but they are allowed in the cute courtyard that has blankets you can borrow.

Excellent food, a great Sunday set menu, wide variety of drinks, service and atmosphere great. Book well in advance!

Lovely meal - great place to sit and watch the world go by. Food was tasty and the service was wonderful, would definitely go back if in the area again - thank you

This is a superb little restaurant, serving delicious fresh fish and seafood dishes (meat and vegetarian options also available); but my husband and I come here when we’re on our annual visit to Mousehole for the fish and seafood. Think this was our 8th visit and we were not disappointed. Never have been. Excellent, imaginative dishes, using the finest & freshest local ingredients, well Newlyn fish market is just up the road!, served by friendly, cheerful, helpful young staff. Another enjoyable evening. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, same time next year.

This place was incredible, lovely unexpected find. We shared a seafood plate which was all very tasty and had some nice local sparkling wine from Penzance. Would definitely come back here. Took one picture, excuse my husband being odd.

Really lovely place, good service and delicious fresh food!

An absolute gem. We visited twice during our five day trip to Cornwall. The cooking is imaginative, exemplary and everything is just 'right' (including the delicious St Ives bakery bread). You feel that everything is considered and is on the plate for a purpose. The staff are charming and helpful. Highly recommended

Excellent meal. Very Tasty and attentive staff. We had a fabulous time. Thank you 👍

Don’t hesitate! Book a table & prepare your tastebuds for a proper treat! Scallops followed by battered monkfish, fries, pea purée & a little jug of creamy curry sauce! (If you don’t like fish, there are always yummy options on the menu!) Casual & relaxed, some tables with harbour views, a wine list to suit most wallets & friendly staff! GO!

Wonderful little restaurant is always busy a must if you're visiting Mousehole. Book in advance as it's a small venue. The food is so fresh and cooked perfectly. I always have the most fantastic meal here, and so does any guest I bring. The dinner menu is full of tasty fish so much choice. Even a takeaway coffee in the day is delightful!

I’ve seen a few recent reviews commenting on the staff at 2FS in a negative way. Absolutely not reflective of our experience in any way, shape, or form. We were welcomed, felt welcome and looked after well throughout. While we’ve been here for coffees and meals on many occasions over the years tonights was especially good. My partner commented that the seafood dish (pan fried sea bream and spiced lobster arancini with saffron cream) was the best seafood she’d had anywhere ever. I’m not a seafood fan, plenty of choice though, and the McFaddens steak was done beautifully. We’ll be back again for sure.

The sardines with beetroot cream fresh was excellent and the staff were great, definitely going again next time we are In Cornwall

5 stars for a service, atmosphere, food and vibe. Amazing place.

We have stayed in Mousehole over 2 New Years now ,and love it . Thought we would try this place out as a change from our hotel . So glad we did , it was wonderful ! The John Dory main course was exceptional. Good wine list at sensible prices . Staff were good and atmosphere pleasant . If I had one tiny criticism ,the place was too brightly lit....but I'm being picky and would certainly return.

The food and wine are really good but some of the people serving behave as though if the world were put to rights you would be serving them It’s such a shame that surly service let’s down a potential gem

Excellent food and great service

My wife took me here for my birthday as she had been there for lunches and rated the restaurant. On arrival, staff were very young females, who seemed to be very unhappy in their work and no one obviously in charge. Scallop starter was nice and well cooked, but still attached to shell making it fiddly to eat. Hake main, fish well cooked, but Mushroom sauce almost cold, and mash had no taste of truffle. Greens side was not cooked at all and over seasoned with raw garlic.

Just the most beautiful restaurant. Obviously seafood is abundant, so the menu reflects this. However, if you want a perfect beef steak, you got that too! Blue cheese souffle, scallops, chicken liver parfait, incredible prawns. Just a perfect celebration meal for Mums 80th and my 60th. Lovely staff. Thank you X

Best meal in a long time - absolutely delicious! Lovely little spot in Mousehole, polite, friendly service - attentive but not intrusive. I had the crab souffle to start and hake with truffle mash and mushroom fricassee - amazing! Nicest fish I've eaten in a long time.

Oh dear, ill prepared menu, sub standard food and staff with attitude . It's rumoured that if the owner Joe isn't in the kitchen then consider booking elsewhere. On this experience, good advice.

Simply the best Restaurant in Cornwall

We visited here today on a recommendation and it certainly lived up to its great reputation. Our food was amazing, I had lemon sole which was the best fish I’ve ever tasted and I’m pretty old. We will definitely return when back in Cornwall.

I had my birthday dinner there unplanned and ngl it’s one of the best dinners I’ve had in the UK, especially for seafood. We ordered the scallops and prawns for starter and a fish stew the share; the scallops are amazingly fresh, sweet and the seasoning is just perfect. The fish stew has a bit of everything, all very fresh and the fish is cooked beautifully. My partner and I were so full n happy! The drinks we ordered were a warm spiced cider n a hot toddy, both were super delicious ☺️ Will 100% come back in the future!

Great food. Always look forward to visiting. Found it a bit expensive this time … but perhaps that is just the world at the moment 🤷‍♀️ (think the prawns should have been deveined).

Ate here twice in one day on our trip to Mousehole, absolute perfection.

Highly recommended.  Two Fore Street is an incredible restaurant that keeps exceeding our expectations year after year. This was our fourth annual visit to celebrate a friend's birthday, & it just keeps getting better. The food they serve is nothing short of fantastic & the presentation is impeccable. Two Fore Street consistently delivers great food & brilliant service every time.

Always love 2 Fore Street. Have so many fabulous memories of this place. Please call and book to make sure u get a table :)

We have eaten breakfast here a few times and the food is really lovely but the service is usually hit and miss! We arrived at 11.30am on the 10th of October for breakfast or lunch. Only one customer was in there drinking coffee. We asked if they were serving breakfast and were abruptly told 'no it's finished and lunch isn't for half an hour' They then carried on putting cutlery on tables. We walked straight back out and went to the gorgeous Deli on the harbour where we had a fantastic meal and experience. Won't set foot in No.2 Fore Street again!

Lovely restaurant, very friendly.

We had a great lunch in the courtyard at the back of the restaurant on a beautiful sunny day in October. The food was delicious and beautifully cooked. The makeral pâté starter was tasty, creamy and without any bones. It was lovely. The seafood Thai curry with mussels prawns and fish was delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was attentive and very friendly. Thoroughly recommend this place, and we will be back!

We had dinner and afternoon tea here. A very good place to eat. The dinner was top class I had panko sole.My son had a whole lemon sole. For dessert, son had the creme brulee and I had the steamed pudding with ice cream. Drank the local sparkling Pol. It was the best food I've eaten since I last ate here six years ago. Good to see the standard has held. Afternoon tea was a real treat. Food presented well. Waitresses were lovely. Thank you.

Great food and fab service definitely recommended

We made advance reservations, even for lunch it is recommended. So happy we did as it was packed. We luckily arrived early and managed to get seated in the bay window at the front with a bit of a view of the harbor. Everything we had was outstanding. I still dream of the monkfish, delicious. Highly recommend this place!

This is the place for great seafood when staying in Mousehole. We had to eat early because the restaurant is small and busy. Good service from pleasant staff. Not the cheapest but worth it!

We booked this restaurant having looked at reviews on Trip Advisor and enjoyed our lunch with a great view of the harbour. My husband chose the Scallops starter which comprised of 3 scallops for £12.75 which when you include service is £14 for 3 scallops! I chose the butterflied sardines with toasted almonds which were really good. Mains, my husband chose the seafood curry and I chose the seabass off the specials board. My seabass fillets were excellent however the veg was a bit soggy. My husband did say his curry was lacking in variety although it tasted good. We had a bottle of vinho verde and a couple of drinks before lunch, our total bill was £128.15 including service.

Whilst the food and restaurant itself was lovely, very rude staff and poor service, which I can see other diners have commented on. Would not go back, which is shame as location and food was excellent.

Perfect, fresh, delicious, why isn't it in Michelin yet?

Wanted a light lunch and were lucky enough to get a table. The village was jam packed. Guy behind the counter was really friendly as was the waitress. We had pasties which were absolutely delicious. Main meals were served upstairs and the menu looked wonderful. If we are ever in the area again we will be making a bee line for the place.

Wir fanden das Essen nicht sehr gut. Das Curry war mehr eine Suppe, das Steak war zäh. Insgesamt okay, aber für den Preis nicht sehr gut.

Have visited this place before and wanted to come back. Excellent seafood here and lovely staff. Decided to splash out and had the whole dressed crab, which was very good. A little pricey at £24; but then crab is never cheap.

Absolutely fantastic meal in the wonderful restaurant. Top class service and great atmosphere. . I cannot recommend this place enough, without a doubt the best place to eat in Mousehole

Best lunch we’ve had in ages. Beautifully cooked and presented sea bass and dressed crab main dishes; superb dark chocolate mousse with coconut sorbet. Well curated wine list. We couldn’t fault it and will certainly return next time we are in Cornwall.

We booked 2 Fore Street as we were staying in Mousehole and could see how popular and well regarded it was. Booking I think is essential. We arrived and the whole evening was a pleasure. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff unhurried but very efficient service and incredible food using local ingredients. We both had scallops delicious then a fish curry and pan fried hake. All with local fish and both beautifully presented and tasty. Followed by ice cream and a lovely baked cheesecake with p-x soaked raisins. A very high quality meal and would recommend very highly. Thanks guys.

The restaurant is situated right on the harbour front. If you love fish you will love 2 Fore Street! . We had the crab soup and fish curry it was fabulous but there was so much to choose from with a specials board too. They certainly know how to serve fish with a difference. It gets very busy so would suggest booking.

What a lovely restaurant. The vibe is quaint calm and professional. The smell as you walk inside screams “This is going to be a fantastic meal” the waitress was very prompt, thoughtful and attentive too - even as they were really busy. This is 100% a must go when in or around Mouse Hole. I only wish there would have been an explanation of the dish and it’s ingredients as the food was being presented at the table as the food was just so good it deserved more attention.

This was our anniversary meal, so we decided to go to 2 Fore Street as we always enjoyed. For starters we had sardines and garlicky prawns, both delicious. We both had the grilled sole for mains. Absolutely incredible! And cheesecake and sticky toffee pub for...

Great food great service and value for money - what else could you ask for Exceptional menu for such a small restaurant

Thank you 2 Fore street your food was fabulous, the ambience was lovely and above all that your staff were outstanding. Having staffing that you should hold on to them. We ate there 3 times and easch time our meals were wonderful!

This is a restaurant specialising in seafood right by the harbour in Mousehole. We managed to get a table outside which, with a pleasant evening, kept everything cool for us and the walled back area was sheltered. The food itself was very good with a number of specials. A very pleasant meal and the bonus is you can get there and back easily on the bus from Penzance.

Situated close to the harbour 2 Fore Street was well placed offering great views to those diners lucky enough to have a window table. There were four in our party all of whom enjoyed their meals. My starter was shell roasted scallops; delicious but the...

Scallops were beautiful, but a little bread to go with them for the sumptuous sauce would have made them perfect

Comida rica, platos bien cocinados. Si el tiempo lo permite mejor en una mesa de su patio trasero.

Lovely setting in Mousehole Restaurant and Garden, catering for the woofer in the garden area is lovely (weather pending) Food is 5 Star, professional service from start to finish, great selection of local produce presented to a 5 star standard. Good value for the standard...

Have been to this restaurant many times before. We ALWAYS return. The staff, food and atmosphere are fantastic. The garden is a haven and Dog Friendly. The lunch today was magnificent. The Scallops are amazing and locally sourced. Thankyou for looking after us and our pooch...very hard times, but your business is a treasure. Thankyou!

Fantastic location in Mousehole, genuinely friendly staff and magnificent food, showcasing beautiful quality local ingredient that was prepared by passionate and highly skilled artisans. Thank you for a very memorable night!

Do not miss this place - book ahead to avoid disappointment literally- right by the habour - inside seating but the secluded garden seating area lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. The staff all just lovely and attentive- the food - well … just stunning -...

Absolutely 💯 recommend 👌 stopped here for lunch and had the best experience, the surroundings in the garden, the food, the service. Everything was spot on.
