Belle Vue in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Small venue, with beautifully cooked, flavoursome food. We had hake, duck and steak, and everyone very happy with their choice. Deserts delicious too.

Visited for a birthday meal whilst in Bude. Friendly service and excellent food, would highly recommend a visit

Really delicious food - all of the starters and mains we ordered were great and easily could have eaten anything on the menu. Would definitely go back if I was in Bude again.

Great service, delicious food (good generous portions) and a warm ambience completes. All food cooked on the premises by owner and chef. Recommend the specials. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Excellent meal, very helpful staff. All in all a wonderful evening. The menu choice was difficult to make, which means we will be coming back on a regular basis.

Another fantastic meal , great flavours, well presented & good value , from the calamari, fried hallumi, locally produced steak to the duck confit - sensational. Friendly & humorous waitress & a fab chef, in a cozy setting. Thanks guys.

What a wonderful bistro! The food was excellent - each element of our meal was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented - and with only 16 covers in the restaurant, there was a cosy, intimate ambience. The friendliness and attention to detail of the young lady serving us was a joy. It was so good that we tried to book again for the following evening, but, unsurprisingly, it was fully booked. We would highly recommend this place. It made our short stay in Bude memorable.

Went for dinner booked for 7.45, took about half an hour to get our drink and an hour and ten minutes to get our dinner. I wouldn't mind if the food had been really nice but the food was very average and the restaurant only had 16 people in it.

Amazing food, every dish was a hit. - best meal out in a long time. V friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Only negative this was our last night and we would have loved to rebook.

Arrived in Bude Fri evening. Looked for a place to eat. 1st pick was 2 Belle Vue Avenue on the strength of previous reviews. Luckily there was a space for 2 with no booking (but this was indeed lucky - book ahead). This is a small venue with maybe 7 tables. 1 server who was fantastic, and is pretty intimate all round. And the food? Top class. It's a small menu, but it's all you need. We had seabass (both if us) which were 2 x fillets and came with 2 king prawns on brilliant mash with a drizzle of sauce to die for. Absolutely mouth-watering and deeply saddened when it was finished! How do you follow that up? Pudding!! Mrs had custard tarts - decadent pastry and creamy custard filling with an exquisite small glass of cherry liqueur. I ended up going for the brownie with clotted cream. Both were terrific quality. Top drawer. So glad we got a table on the hoof, and if we get the chance we'll book on and be back to try more off the menu. One of the best meals I've had anywhere in Cornwall. High praise indeed.

We visited 2 Belle Vue Avenue with friends as we were staying nearby in Widemouth Bay, wanted a nice meal out to celebrate a birthday in our party and had read good things about this restaurant. We were not disappointed. The food was AMAZING, everything cooked to perfection and portion sizes just right. Absolutely fantastic value for money. We had the squid and lamb for starters, sea bass, hake and duck as mains and the little Portuguese custard tarts for dessert. My favourite was the squid as so often it can be done badly but this was melt in the mouth good. Service was great and friendly. Only two people working managing the kitchen and front of house but still super attentive. You do need to book ahead as the place is tiny and only has about 20 covers of that. We initially wanted to visit earlier in the week but couldn’t get a table. They do two sittings one at 6pm and one at 8pm. On this occasion we were the only 6pm booking but that didn’t matter at all as the place is small enough for it not to ruin the atmosphere. If you get a chance to go here please do. These guys are doing a great job at creating some truly beautiful food.

2 Belle Vue Avenue is a very discreet restaurant in a Bude side street. Probably only about 20 covers but very popular and booking is essential, My wife and I decided to order 4 starters (Tapas style) rather than the standard starter/main course. This didn't phase the kitchen at all and we were really pleased with our decision. The food was excellent as was the service. Highly recommended

Lovely small restaurant, very knowledgable waiter now the food. Delicious homemade mackerel pate, my husband had the calamari he said it was very fresh and perfectly cooked. The hake with champ and broccoli was very good indeed. My husbands steak was cooked exactly as he asked. No room for a desert but the selection was tempting. Next time I’m back in Bude there will be a repeat visit,

Myself and daughter had a beautiful meal last night. Everything was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed each course and the service was outstanding. Can highly recommend everything. We had Calamari, Prawns, Hake, Brownie and Pastel del nata Such great value and we will very much look...

Service and food are totally spot on. We had the Calamari and Pulled Lamb to start followed by the Confit Duck and Hake with a gorgeous Viognier. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. Result! Highly recommended.

Great little place hiding down a side street. We didn’t know what to expect, but we’re very pleasantly surprised. Fantastic food and very welcoming friendly service. We’ll be back.

We booked this place after some research and reading such good reviews, you could easily miss this place if you haven’t done your online research. The waitress was so lovely, friendly and attentive and really made the experience. The food was absolutely perfect and so...

Small cozy bistro where you have plenty of time to enjoy a quality, excellent value meal with your friends or loved one.

We had a lovely evening in this cosy restaurant. The waitress was really friendly and attentive, but didn’t hassle us at all. The star of the evening was the food, potted crab to start along with cocktails. Highly recommend

Came here for dinner one night whilst in bude. We pre booked a table for 6pm but the restaurant wasn’t busy. The service was quite slow, our drinks and starters took a while to come out. The food was really nice though so can’t complain,...

I'd never been before but it was chosen for a work meal. it was incredible. I had Camembert cheese for start, the BEST chicken I've ever had for main and sticky toffee sponge for dessert. The food was amazing and all fancied up, all the...

Really nice, intimate and romantic space. The food was well worth the price and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, Would certainly recommend,

A really nice bistro, well cooked fresh food. Really enjoyed the evening and the moules were wonderful. A gem of a place for Bude and well with seeking out

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here :) the environment was relaxed, warm, welcoming, low key and personal. They've really got it right prioritising quality over quantity when it comes to the number of options on their menu. A great selection though, and I was well catered...

Small and intimate with menu that showcases seafood. Portions are ample and offer great value for money. If you like fish cooked to perfection then this is the place to go. Friendly service.

We recently had a meal here during a one night stay in Bude after finding it on Tripadvisor. Its a lovely little place, although as someone else mentioned its very quiet and a little lacking in atmosphere - we felt we had to keep our...

We booked to eat here weeks ago having read such glowing reviews. After a mid-afternoon recce and a browse of the impressive menu we couldn’t wait…. However, we would be fibbing if we weren’t filled with some trepidation with our beautiful little girl in tow....

Unless I had done my research, we would never have found this hidden gem. Beautiful food and service was great. Atmosphere is super cosy and relaxed and the young girl front of house was so lovely and so accommodating. Food was absolutely fresh to order...

This is a little gem of a restaurant, food was amazing, staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, would 100% recommend, if we lived here we would be visiting every week

Yet again another excellent meal !! Beautifully cooked..great service Specials were fantastic... Truly a must visit!!

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant for couples and families

This is a lovely little bistro in Bude, and a bit of a hidden gem. The waitress was really nice and made us feel very welcome, but due to restricted numbers because of Covid - the atmosphere was a little lacking. It was very quiet...

We absolutely loved this hidden gem. Food was delicious, the atmosphere small and personal and they didn't rush you which led to a really nice chilled evening. Will definitely be back when we are back in Bude

Excellent food supported by attentive, friendly service. 3 of us dined here last night and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the dining experience-even the wine was reasonably priced. The plaice was cooked perfectly and the calamari a real treat. We will return soon when...

My partner and I had a wonderful meal here tonight. We ordered the chorizo and the prawns to start. They were amazing! We then ordered the paella (which was delicious and huge too) and the chicken. To finish we ordered the wrong mess to share....

Fantastic meal at Belle Vue last night. Lovely intimate bistro with high quality food and drinks. A must go place to eat if you are in Bude.

Had the best night here. The food is superb, with a feeling of proper high class cooking about it. I’ve eaten in some top places (Rick Stein, Nathan Outlaws etc etc) and this little bistro is as good as any of them. Friendly staff, a...

Food was amazing, and catered for all dietary requirements. Service was lovely, and very welcoming. Cosy and cute, would 100% recommend.

Wonderful dining experience with lovely bistro ambience. We shared a lovely bottle of malbec from the specials and they bought out some freshly baked focaccia with pesto and oil on the house whilst we perused the menu. Wide variety of choice, from meat to steak...

We are here on both nights we were in Bude. The food was absolutely outstanding. The arancini was the best we have ever had and the atmosphere was lovely, when we come back to Bude we know where we will be booking in for dinner!

Booked our table (specifically requesting an outside table and we were assured we could have the only outside table). Booked four days in advance. Got to the restaurant tonight and there was a couple at our table in the middle of their main course. We...

My wife and I had a great evening meal at Bel Vue. We booked in advance, which is a must. The restaurant is small with only a small number of tables and is cosy and welcoming. The food was delicious, we both had scallops to...

The hosting is as good as can be here our lovely waitress was attentive and helpful. Very nice vibe in the restaurant, relaxed and the music is perfect for that of a restaurant. Calamari was perfect and well crisped perfectly seasoned. Prawns conveniently pealed where...

We had dinner at 2 Belle Vue whilst on holiday. What a little gem of a place. Service excellent, food deliscious. Highly recommend the fish and confit duck.

Amazing food and great customer service 100% would recommend The steak here was honestly sooo good, very juicy and tasty. Just wanted to write a special thank you to the young waitress with the long brown hair (didn’t quite catch her name) but she was...

I've lived in Cornwall all my life and can safely say that this is the best food I've ever eaten out in the South West. I had the mussels which were think and juicy. Everything we ate was delicious. Only thing we would suggest is...

I only write reviews when i hate something or i love something. Today was love, love, love 2BVA has a beautifully balanced menu, cooked to perfection and looked great. Has starters and main, no room for a desert... book early as covid restricts the number...

Amazing chilled out gem of a restaurant. Fantastic wine and tapas and super service! We had the prawns and calamari. Out of this world.

We had our dinner at 2 Belle View and whole experience was very good. Service was first class, food delicious at very good value. Would highly recommend

Fabulous flavours, presentation, quality & quantity - really good value. Lovely ambience - friendly but professional - attention to detail - such good service. Will be returning soon!

Would just like people to know what a great place this is. Food was outstanding, lovely ambience. Really worth a visit

Very large plate of Olives and some Dolmades to start.Went for the rib eye steaks, extremely tender, well cooked. Very good fries for me and spicy new potatoes for my wife. Sweets excellent too. Leah front of house very friendly attentive and knowledgeable about the...

Small bistro in Bude. Wonderful quality authentic tapas dishes. Generous, value for money servings and very tasty, especially the meatballs, garlic mushrooms, mackerel and tempura vegetables. One if our party had the hake dish, which was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended if you visit Bude.

Superb genuine tasting tapas Really good Super value Great service We loved it!!!! Every dish..and we had a few were excellent

We have had 4 takeaways this year and they have all beem absolutely amazing. The food tasted out of this world, portion size was very generous amd the proces extremely reasonable. Best restaurant in bude.

Amazing. We ordered takeaway from 2 Belle Vue last night for an early valentines meal and it was incredible. The philly cheese steak sandwich was a particular favourite and the crispy onions are out of this world. Cannot wait to order again soon.

Please visit this lovely gem of a restaurant in the heart of Bude! Friendly with amazing food led to a perfect evening (can’t really add to this). Only 3 tables so book in advance to secure your spot!!

We were lucky when we rang as someone had just cancelled so we got one of the 3 tables in this small intimate restaurant. We had an absolutely delicious meal. Freshly cooked and homemade dishes which were all divine - tasty and perfect We had...

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we were very impressed with the food and the overall atmosphere and service. The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance. The lovely lady who served us was really friendly and helpful....

Great food great service would go again, but couldn’t get in again as fully booked all week! It’s a small restaurant but nicely presented

What a little gem of a restaurant. Great service and stunning, freshly prepared food. Can’t fault it.

This really was a delightful experience. All the food was cooked to a high standard. We had three courses each. There really was nothing to criticise. The wine was excellent too. The waitress was lovely.

Superb lunch, the best Greek salad outside of Crete, fantastic. Hallouni chips with tsatziki , calamari and shrimps. You could almost be somewhere hot and fabulous, even if you are in Bude.

My husband and I had the most amazing meal here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I often get made to feel like a burden at restaurants when I request gluten and dairy free and get offered meals with bits missing but both my starter and main course were tweaked by the incredible chef to create a delicious and rounded meal with absolutely no problems. We had the king prawns with garlic and herbs and paprika dusted calamari for starters followed by seabass with a really delicious homemade pesto, capers and slow roasted tomatoes. Social distancing meant that there were only 6 other people in the restaurant so service was attentive but not overbearing. We also shared a bottle of Malbec which was very smooth and full. I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely, small restaurant.

What more is there to say - this was a fantastic find - really wonderful food and service - this restaurant pretty much salvaged a diabolical trip to Cornwall and made a birthday celebration really special. Big thanks.

We got lucky last Fri eve, and had the last table in this cosy place. Welcomed with warm (homemade?) bread, then chose from a small but perfectly formed menu. Wine is fine, and well priced. Excellent value and top- notch nosh; really happy to recommend a meal here. Looking forward to returning!

As per previous review... A hidden gem!!!....super food and service ...with friends that loved it also!! Book in advance as small and cozy...but well worth it!!... Every time we come here the food is excellent

I'm not sure I want to leave this review as it's hard enough to get a table as it is. I have eaten in most places in bude and I can honestly say that this little tucked away restaurant is the hidden gem of bude. Every single thing is sublime, from when you first walk through the door, your host and owner makes you feel like family. Nothing is too much trouble, I genuinely felt everything was done to make us feel as welcome & as comfortable as possible and as for the food well 5* top notch freshly cooked delicious food. How we have managed to be lucky enough to have a chef like this in our little town is heaven. What a lovely couple and so fantastic to see them working together to give us a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back.

2 Belle Vue was our New Year's Eve venue for 2019, and came very much recommended by our local hosts. It is a small restaurant operated by a team of no more than three where the emphasis is totally on creating and presenting the excellent cuisine.For New Year's Eve, there was an extremely competitive three course £50 fixed price menu with some fine delicacies to enjoy. The kidney starter was memorable and was not so rich as to detract from the more subtle flavours of the duck main course. Other members of the group were equally impressed by the steaks.This was a fantastic dinner to end the year and we hope to return and enjoy dining from the normal menu some time in 2020. The wine list is not extensive but is reasonably priced. Whilst the facade and interior of the restaurant may not match the excitement of the cuisine.....do not judge a book by its cover!!

Absolutely stunning home cooked food, a small eatery but by far the best restaurant in bude, the food is outstanding and the cocktails are fantastic, we will be back

Visited early on a Saturday evening. Received a lovely welcome and the ambience in this small bistro/restaurant was fine even though there was only 2 of us until some other diners arrived a little bit later. All the food we had was excellent - lovely bread and dips to share while we perused the menu and had a drink. We chose the Whalesborough Ribeye Steak and Sea Bass which were beautifully presented and tasted superb. Will definitely be visitng again.

A friend recommended 2 Belle Vue Avenue as the best restaurant for good food in Bude. They said it always had a good gluten free menu, and that the staff are very attentive and friendly so we knew this was the right place to take our guests one of whom is gluten free. We were so delighted with our choice. It is a small restaurant with lovely relaxed and cosy atmosphere and our guest was very pleased with the gluten free options, particularly impressed with the gluten free bread and lovely fish dish. We love good, homecooked food and excellent personal service so this was a hit with all four of us.

2nd visit to this lovely tapas & more, style bistro - lovely low key decor, great welcome from friendly but unobtrusive owner.Food again was flavoursome & generous sized portions. good range of dishes, presented beautifully.Great ambience & able to settle in for the evening, looking forwards to a return visit.

Lovely meal here to catch up with friends, being gluten free was not a problem. My Hake was absolutely delicious, will defiantly return next time we are in Bude.

Looking for somewhere to eat one evening in Bude we came across this little Bistro run by a young couple and enjoyed a superb meal. My wife had sea bass and said it was the best she'd ever tasted and she is very fussy! I had a 10oz rump steak which was delicious. One of the best if not the best places to eat in Bude.You won't be disappointed.We were lucky to get a table best to book.

Had another lovely meal here with the family all dietary problems dealt with can not fault cannot wait to go back

A great find in Bude and well worth booking for. A small independent restaurant that helped us celebrate our anniversary. Great to have the opportunity to chat to the owners and be recommended dishes. Excellent quality food with great service, well worth a visit. Probably need to book in advance.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Have visited Bude for the last few years, this is by far the best meal we have had in Bude. Probably the best meal and ambience I’ve had for quite some time

Brilliant food, nicely presented, great service, very warm and friendly. Would recommend everyone to try this quiet place. Set back in a side street but worth looking out for.

Ate here the other night - wow! Wonderful food, lovely service, great ambiance - Nuf said really Book to avoid disappointment as iti is small and cosy

Tucked away, but definitely worth finding. From the minute we arrived (just before close too I might add), we were welcomed by Georgina with a friendly smile and a chat. We chose the calamari, souvlaki chicken and mussels, all absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.

Found this restaurant whilst walking the back streets of Bude. It’s small, friendly with delicious food. We had cocktails to start with the complimentary bread. Then chose 4 tapas between the two of us. All superb. Finished off with a Jamaican coffee. Made with Kraken rum. The line between the coffee and the cream was distinct to the last drop. Delicious. We visited again the next day to take advantage of free nibbles with a drink. Couldn’t resist having another coffee. Well worth a visit.

Had a beautiful meal here small restaurant quite unique all food freshly cooked and lovely home made bread the service spot on will definitely be going back shame it took us so long to go there.The only minus point was the bottle beer at 4 £ a bottle a little expensive apart from that fabulous

Who knew a spotaneous birthday treat would lead us to this hidden delight?!I don't know about you but I find it harder and harder to find places to eat on special occassions that really tick all the boxes for myself and the family.This place does just that....Cozy, excellent service, delicious food (quite honestly the best Calamari we've ever had), resonable portion sizes and every one of us absolutely loved it.Highly rated Restaurant is small with limited tables so recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment.

This is possibly the best meal we’ve had in a long time. I found this restaurant after seeing it on Facebook. Didn’t know what to expect, but oh my goodness... we were so well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble, and the children even behaved themselves!! Going to a restaurant in the evening with two young children, can often be a challenge and I’ve found we are sometimes not overly welcomed. Here though, the food was adapted for them, the waitress was so lovely, and they girls loved being there. (Thank you!). Our food was absolutely delicious! Crisp calamari and the best cooked lamb I’ve ever had! I even took photos! It tasted as amazing as it looked! A small but brilliant menu for a small but brilliant restaurant. Next time we come to Bude - we’ll definitely be back.

A nice different menu to the norm... Really well done and tasty...restaurant is small but very nice ambiance.. Good service,excellent food what more can you want Give it a try.. You will not be disappointed

Absolutely delicious food and friendly service. Definitely will return...and probably eat the same #yum

My husband and I stopped in here after dropping some end of life inflatables into Zuma Jays for Wyatt & Jack - a little gem! First of all they do Chai lattes!! It was the best I have had for a long long time. I need their milk frother in my life! The creamy and dreamy. We both had the croquet monsieur - a gamble when you are used to the Alps ones but I have to say one of the best we have had. They make you feel so welcome and if we are in Nude again we will definately be back. The cocktails sound great too. It is a lovely fresh, calm place with tasteful but simple decor. Our furniture was fine. No creaking as mentioned above. Thank you. P.s Sorry no food photos it was too good to wait! :-)X

The food was excellent, the choice varied enough and the service faultless. Our only criticism is the furniture- the table was wobbly and continually creaked. The owners are clearly trying very hard so perhaps a little more investment would help create perfect atmosphere.

Popped in here to this trendy little gem for a quick coffee, which was excellent. In the same week, I took a friend back for brunch which was amazing !!! Then back in the same week to try the evening menu which also did not disappoint. Lovely vegan options (although I’m not vegan) were delicious and healthy. Beautifully decorated, cool trendy music vibes and lovely staff. My one suggestion would be to open until 5pm so I can take my older kids after school for a treat or crepe on the days they do these. Well done guys, keep up the great vibes xx

I’ve eaten here on 3 occasions and the food has always been fantastic. I would highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Just what bude needs

I added 2 Belle Vue because it's nestled in the back streets of the town centre, not easily found. Quite small, it is delightful & you must visit & try it out. The food & service was excellent, I do know that they use the excellent Red Dog bread, infact it was the owners of the bakery who we saw go. They are obviously not skimping on the quality of their ingredients.Best of luck to them, but I hope it doesn't get too popular that we can't get a table when we want!
