Blue Bistro in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic food, wonderful service and lovely people. I would definitely take the poorer reviews with a jug of salt.

Small establishment but welcoming. I believe the staff are the owners and nice ppl. BLT baguette was really nice with thick, fresh cooked bacon and real coffee.

We found this place by chance and enjoyed a lovely pot of tea and toasted teacakes. The interior is quirky and homely and we enjoyed a very enjoyable chat with Linda.

This is a small,quaint restaurant which caters from sandwiches,toasted or not to 3 coarse meals too. The service was lovely and friendly with a relaxed atmosphere, whilst the food was hot and beautifully cooked. A little gem !!

We both had a lovely vegetarian evening meal here. Traditional menu and calm and polite service. Good dogs welcome, that was a plus. I feel reading a lot of the other reviews people have been very unfairly judgmental. This venue a small and independently run establishment and therefore that has to be taken into consideration. Unlike ‘Table-Table/beefeater’ style restaurants where they have 10s of staff members, the venues are big and spacious and everything is cheap and microwaved - independent restaurants, cafes & shops cannot be compared too. The service was friendly and accommodating considering we hadn’t booked, we had a dog and it was Friday night. YOU, are welcome to read the menu from outside and make your choice, or you could eat at home and make it yourself! We had two very clean plates and left happy to be fed and watered and having not had to do the dishes! I feel people who have perhaps not owned or run a business themselves, are VERY quick to judge. Thank you for your meal.

Small bistro in meviguessey a disappointing toastie asked for ham and tomato on brown bread served white toastie with cheese and tomato no garnish to speak of 5.95 .Again asked for 175mls of sauvignon blanc instead of 250mls total bill £17+ felt not worth the money

Avoid, as we're are staying in looe we pooped along to mevagissy as they had a fete going on and we love the place visit every year spend a few hours wondering around hubby likes to do some fishing. When we fancied some lunch and came across this lovely looking little place. However when you walk in there is no warm welcome or even a hello, we sat down and waited eventually I went to the counter to order my husband had a sandwich which when arrived i could of got better from a petrol station very basic, I had a cream tea which was OK. Again waitress never spoke a word. We could then hear the waitress and I guess some one else who worked there just behind counter saying smile and stop looking miserable remember to smile and to stop talking so loudly. That conversation should of been out of ear shot for customers. After a little while we decided to leave the atmosphere was certainly BLUE. When I went up to pay the person behind counter was bad mouthing the table next to us cause apparently they ordered wrong and it wasn't her fault as she had asked them a question 3 times. It certainly is not a friendly place to go it needs new staff or just management needs some training ect. I never leave a bad review I only ever leave good ones but this place needs avoiding. A warm welcome would make all the difference and apparently its not because they wrrr having a bad day as when we came out another holiday maker stopped us and asked what we thought of it in there we replied ok to which this total stranger told us about hes experience and that he would never spend another penny in there the first time was enough and I had to agree. It also states dog welcome but they don't even get a welcome and made to feel the dogs in the way. I certainly can't see this being here next year when we visit. If you guys are I will be surprised maybe give staff some training.... also smile and greet your paying customers.

Slow service. Waited an hour for food. Drinks only bit that was ok. 4 of us. Tuna mayo on brown bread was cheap bread that was dry. Tasteless. Prawn sandwich on white again dry bread and too much sauce. Ham, egg and chips that was only hot meal was cheap packet ham. Paid over the odds for food. Get better food and faster service in a greasy spoon cafe. Will not be recommending to anyone and won’t go back. My husband did complain politely and l think the lady was shocked. Oh and not impressed that the waitress stood with her shoes on on a chair from restaurant to reach up and turn fan on! Really!

What a brilliant wee restaurant 😊 ate here 5 times in a week had a different meal every night and all were awesome . There are only 6 tables so best book in advance . Lovely couple run it, Anne is the chef and Linda serves . Well worth a visit 😊

Wonderful place to eat and very friendly highly recommend

Very poor service no atmosphere below average food Very disappointing

What just ok.Tea cake was rather small.

Was going in for a meal ordered pot of tea asked if there was a toilet heard member of staff make remark bout only came in to use toilet which thought was very unprofessional hence after few words left.

Just had a brilliant cream tea here, no idea why the place was empty! Don't be fooled if it's quiet, fab scones we won't be needing dinner. Thanks for the lovely welcome & service. Dog & child friendly too, which made our life considerably easy.

Do not recommend. My family of 4 visited during the Easter holidays and unfortunately we had to send one of the dishes back, as it wasn't as advertised and poorly cooked. Despite owners being friendly enough the food just isn't up to standard and wouldn't return.

Tiny place, yet allows dogs. Apart from the hygiene issues, with one of off us being asthmatic and potentially hospitalised or worse by dog skin and fur, we couldn't eat there. Disappointing that so many restaurant and cafe owners are insensitive.

Food nice, freshly prepared dog friendly

The Blue Bistro fit us in as a party of 6 + dog into their 4 table restaurant at the last minute. Their drinks selection is limited but the wine was really nice! They accommodated to dietary requirements (vegan, GF, DF). Our mains were 6\10, generally underseasoned but generous portions. Mussels were overcooked with watery sauce. Despite this, we enjoyed our evening with the place to ourselves and prices were not extortionate. Would recommend some better background music to create an ambience.

Worst chips ever... Expensive too... Must be a better tea shop in this place.

Scallops and goats cheese starters followed by beef bourguignon and rabbit pie for mains. All lovely

Spotted this place when we were collecting some fish from the excellent fishmonger on the quayside and decided to give it a go. Friendly service, interesting menu and good prices. We both had scallops to start which were very tasty and cheaper than many places locally. Mains were a grilled fish platter - pollock, plaice, sardine, salmon and prawns- nicely cooked with a side salad and they kindly supplied new potatoes as opposed to chips. My partner opted for the grilled tuna steak with prawns and chips - very tasty but she felt a little overcooked. Dog friendly as well. Very much worth considering

Quality food. Cooked to order. Be patient you are on holiday and you won't be disappointed.

Amazing personal service, great food, even gave birthday cards and a cake for someone in our party’s birthday - definitely recommend

So good! Love the family feel and the birthday pair were spoilt, excellent!!!!!!

We really enjoyed this little bistro unfortunately we weren't looking for a main meal because the choice of dishes was amazing, but we did have a savoury cheese tea served with warm scones and 2 types of cheese and a side dish of pickle absolutely beautiful 👌

Small friendly bistro good food well done Ladies. Recommend

Very nice place polite friendly staff very nice food

Amazing place & awesome location.Food is great, these ladies have worked really hard to achieve such success hats off to them, Definitely recommend & will be returning in future

Great attention and the food was delicious, recommended

Lovely warm scones and a big pot of tea What more could you ask for.!

Nice place for lunch. Dog friendly.

Had the caramelised sausage baguette which was good.

Lovely home cooked food and fresh veg very tasty small cosy feel inside it pays to eat away from the harbour front

Cosy place. We were served in a welcoming and relaxed way. Service was excellent. Recommendable anytime.

A very nice place to have a light bite.

Home cooked food in a pleasant atmosphere. Good value, comfortable with an eclectic decor and good selection of wines.

Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Quaint! A bit stuck in a time warp but can't fault the cream tea or the service.

Freshly made scones, lovely service

We went in as the menu was inviting, it says they serve local seafood. What a disappointment! The place stinks of smoke and there is no customer service. The seafood platter we ordered took forever to arrive and it was the most disgusting fish I have ever tasted. As we complained about the speed of their service, chief woman came out and gave some random comments about we ruined her day when chatting to their friends without the face mask on. Restaurant like this deserve to be shut. Now I am crossing my fingers not to have a diarrhea later on. What a shythole, I wish I can give them zero scores.

No welcome on entry , staff not wearing face coverings , everything seemed an effort ! No QR check in , I had to ask what their Covid protocol was. Staff member said " Oh I thought you had done it ! "I had to ask what she meant and she told me " there's a form over there " . Ordered Jacket potato and it had been microwave d and was hard on the bottom with hardly any filling . The side salad had been chopped up and looked like it had been thrown on the plate. Very unappetising! I wouldn't recommend Blue Bistro !

Excellent rabbit pie! and good service.

Well, as soon as we walked out both me and my partner looked at each other and said “what a weird place”. It has lots of potential but ultimately it feels like two people awkwardly having a go, reading the trip advisor reviews (worth a look, but they don’t take criticism well!) they both have plenty experience but it hasn’t translated here. Also if your waist is more than a 38 you probably won’t get past the sink to the toilet, which is accessed sideways to get to the steep stairs. Originally I was going to give a generous 2/5 review but down another on account of leaving everyone’s personal details from track and trace laying about fit all and sundry to see / serious GDPR issue. Try teacup tearoom instead, or anywhere!

Very strange "spacey" type atmosphere but not unpleasant. Felt like I was entering a Victoria Wood comedy sketch. When I went in to see if they had a table the place was empty and the lady looked at me as if to say what are you doing. When I asked if she had a table for 2, baring in mind it was empty, she stood there puzzled as if to say where am I going to sit them!!!!! The food was OK lots of pinging coming from the kitchen the sound of the microwave. Needed a little more atmosphere maybe a little quiet background music of some sort so that you didn't feel like you had to talk in a real hushed whisper as if you were sharing secrets.

Lovely little place, dogs allowed 😊 and great food for big appetites 😀

Lovely food well set up for COVID

Staff were very friendly and the food was cooked to order and delicious! Would highly recommend for a lovely home cooked meal

Poor atmosphere, not very welcoming at all. Very small food portion, member of staff was very put out because I paid with cash, and she had no money in her till. Even though they accepted cash. She had to send another staff member out for change. Then she short changed me, while tutting n huffing under her breath. Very poor service. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

The slow disorganised service was only matched by the tasteless microwaved meals. Home cooking at its worst, reheated lacking in flavour and poorly presented. Such a shame, the place could easily be amazing with a little love and attention.

This place is definitely worth a visit homemade scones were very tasty not overpriced an all round pleasent experience

Excellent food . Would recommend

Small restaurant with very good service and well-cooked food. Pleasant atmosphere without crowds. 😋😋

Visiting Mevagissey most years for nearly 25 years we have often walked past Blue and never actually eaten. Last weekend we decided we would. We were a large party, of 6, for the intimate space but were made welcomed. The food was delicious, service a little slow but with one chef and all food freshly cooked, I would rather that. My rabbit pie was first class, all our party throughly enjoyed our food, even my fussy 15 year old, who although not vegan, opted for the butternut squash and mushrooms vegan option and came out a mushroom convert. Thank you ladies for a lovely meal. If I was to say one thing, perhaps think about some low background music. It was a quiet night and this would have added a bit more atmosphere. We will be back again.

Friendly and quiet (no loud music) good food.

Loved it. Was a bit quiet at first but came alive when a few other guests arrived. The lady serving us was very pleasant and you can see she works hard, so fair play to her. Food was excellent too. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, I highly recommend visiting for a meal, excellent food, good size portions and all freshly made to order, amazing value for money. I really liked the two ladies who worked there, they were very friendly, helpful, polite and talkative, which made me feel very welcome.

Odd little place that you shouldn't dismiss. It looks more like a cafe however the food was good, just not quite worthy of 5 stars. Slightly overcooked fish and reticent service (felt like the waitress was embarrassed that we were in her home) not helped by a lack of background music means only 4 stars. Definitely worth a visit though over places like the sharkskin which offer the inevitable list of burgers, this was real local food and dishes with a good varied menu.

Interesting place, appears a bit seedy and questionable hygiene but food was very nice and freshly cooked

Small bistro with good food and reasonable prices. Helpful Staff. We really enjoyed our meal in the evening.

Not the best quality. Scones small and hard. Funny smell inside.

Fantastic, We can't wait to go back again next week.

Gteat food not exprnsivr sre you nexy year

Fantastic eating place, it has to be experienced to fully understand the quality of the dishes served. Run by quietly spoken mature sisters. We were 5 in our party, each having something different. Beautifully presented. Flavours normally the province of a Micheline starred Restaurant, this understated eating place should not be missed

So glad we found this little place - stayed in Mevagissey for two weeks and visited here four times as the food really was amazing 😘 small but quaint - it really was spot on - we enjoyed every meal !!!!! Thank you both !! So worth a visit 👌👌

Although it isn't very large ,( about 6 tables) the bistro is full of character. The food was wonderful, beautifully presented & delicious to eat. Best place to eat in Mevagissey.

Very outdated, cold atmosphere and the food was expensive for what it was.

Lovely place to eat. Very nice staff. Great food.

don't be fooled...fantastic home cooked food..have the trout and fresh veg...you'd pay 50% more elsewhere and it wouldnt be as good. And at last wine without the ridiculous restaurant mark up. Loved it

Lovely food and good service. Vegan and vegetarian options. Good value for money!

Excellent menu which is value for money. Freshly cooked on the spot. Good sized generous honest portions. Friendly engaging open aspect. Easy to chat with other holidaymakers. Regularly meet satisfied customers who return annually Staff will often stay open for late arrivals, very accommodating and friendly. Toilet facilities are on a top landing access upstairs. Family and dog friendly.

Small and cosy, food is all cooked fresh, and is good value for money.

Good coffee! Excellent cream tea! No gluten free but have tried but had no demand.

Four of us visited this place and to be honest, we wish we hadn't. Our visit started with the waitress moaning about cleaning tables. We then ordered a sandwich each, which took nearly 20 minutes to serve. (Two of the sandwiches were toasted, but there wasn't anyone waiting for their order). When the food was served we were appalled. The toasted sandwiches looked like they had been screwed up and thrown in a toaster. The other sandwiches just looked looked like the filling had been thrown in. All the sandwiches were garnished with an eighth of a tomato and a small piece of parsley. The atmosphere in the Bistro seemed strained although there was only a total of eight people in there. I wouldnt normally complain, but this was poor.

Inexpensive, solid staples. Vegetarian options!

How do you score zero? Place was empty even though town was busy, Funny smell like burnt chip fat and to have the menu taken from my better half by the owner to show us where the drinks were was just rude. Drinks served in dirty school glasses. Couldn't get out fast enough.

St Mawes is a beautiful, up market place to visit. Spectacular views from this eatery. Great place to stop off for a snack!

quality food and nice atmosphere + reasonable prices.
