Bridge Bistro in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited twice during a 6 week period in 2019 and had different meals each time. We returned to see if we had got something wrong however this turned out not to be the case. What food we had was enjoyable however there simply was not enough of it to justify the spend - therefore it can be deemed as expensive for what we had. The staff are nice and the place itself also nice however just wish it was better value for money than was found. Drinks are also overpriced. As an example, a dessert mousse which I though would be quite rich and in abundance left me wanting for more as there was simply an inch in a glass with more oaty toppings than mousse and in a couple of small spoons it was gone. It would have been nice to have more for the money. Maybe the name Bistro gives it away and should have realised that we were only going to get "Pretty food" and not wholesome filling food but we live and learn. Doubt we would return for a third time sadly. UPDATE AUGUST 2022 THE BRIDGE BISTRO IS NO LONGER OPEN OR TRADING

Heart broken to see this closed! Such fond memories, and always such excellent food and service. Review for all the times we neglected to rave about it!

In recent weeks we've eaten at some "exceptional" venues, Steins, The Pig, Ugly Butterfly, all promising a culinary experience and severely under delivering. Bridge Bistro definitely does not fall into this category. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The manageress welcomed us warmly and sat us for drinks before dinner, we had a couple of quite pleasant cocktails! Our server, though young was very friendly and knowledgeable, and she made very good recommendations on the food. Everything arrived in a timely fashion, staff were attentive but not overbearing and we honestly couldn't fault a thing with the food! Absolutely stunning experience! Only thing they're lacking is a Michelin star view apparently.

There is so much that is praiseworthy about the Bridge Bistro. They were helpful when we booked and when we arrived there was a proper welcome. The menu is relatively short but there is something for everybody. Portions are generous. We would strongly recommend the fish cakes, aubergine salad and mussels, the confit duck was fantastic and the puddings were good. We had wine by the glass - there's only a single choice for red, rose and white but having tasted all three they were reliable and well-chosen. The wine by the bottle list looks interesting. How lucky Wadebridge is to have the Bridge and wouldn't it be wonderful if all high streets had something this good?

Had a lovely 3 course meal here Tuesday. Menu was lovely, food fresh and delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff friendly and attentive too. Would definitely go again

The wife and I ate one of the best meals we have ever had, I had the whitebait to start and the wife had prawns followed by two fish dishes and they were both beautifully cooked and so tasty. The staff are lovely and very efficient. The prices are fair for the quality of the food and service, I am sure we will return very soon!

We pre-booked the Bridge Bistro never having visited before and not knowing what to expect. Immediately we were impressed by the friendly courteous staff who made us feel very welcome. The food is excellent by any standards making this place a real gem in Wadebridge. Thoroughly recommended.

Had dinner here. Two courses deal. Between us we had the goats cheese and prawn starters and risotto and rump steak main courses. All four courses were excellent , portion sizes were good, the taste and quality of the ingredients excellent and service also very friendly and efficient. Whilst it’s a personal preference, the decor was not to our taste and had no negative impact on our meal here, in our view it needs ‘ pulling together’ between the different areas of the. Restaurant. Good location and parking about 100 metres away in the Co op car park .

We had booked into this restaurant for 3 nights running based on the reviews and on the basis that if the first night it was not great we could cancel the other 2, but we need not have worried, it was fabulous and we could have eaten every night for a week and still been very happy. The food was excellent and the staff so friendly and welcoming and obviously enjoying their work, even though they were working incredibly hard with lots of areas to cover and steps up from the kitchen. We want the next Bridge Bistro in our home town please? Thank you all for 3 fabulous nights dining.

What a find! We had amazing cocktails, great service & the food was sublime. Really recommend the Cornish Bacchus white wine too! The attention to detail is fabulous & you can tell the chef (also the owner I believe) really cares about the food. I had the best chicken wings I've ever tasted, and the hake main course was perfect. The tables were very well spaced, we felt very comfortable where we were sitting. Make sure you book well in advance as you won't get a table otherwise! My husband said it was one of the best meals he's ever had, and that is high praise from him, who is an excellent cook himself. Just wish we lived closer but we will definitely visit next time we are in Cornwall.

We had an excellent meal that was as tasty as the description on the menu. Service was fantastic with friendly and obliging staff. We shall definitely be returning.

Cannot find fault from original contact to reserve table ,pleasant friendly telephone manner and asked if we had any allergies or dietary needs ,lovely welcome ,greeted at door and showed to table .Good selection of cocktails ! .There were four adults ,we all had three courses as the menu was so delicious and inviting ,with plenty of choice. ,we all had various dishes and not one complaint from any of us ....I think the empty plates returned to the kitchen conveyed how much we enjoyed our meal . The staff were friendly ,attentive and helpful....Can’t wait to visit again .

We were on holiday and booked for dinner. The customer service from the team was spot on. Friendly and attentive, but not overly so. The food was all delicious. Well done to the chef and team. Special mention of the crab bisque and lentil Dahl which were excellent. Great value and generous portions too. Highly recommend and will go again if we get the chance!

Absolutely fantastic food, service, cocktails and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Dogs are allowed too in one area of the restaurant

We tried several restaurants during our stay but this was the best meal we had all week. We had to wait quite a while for it but it was worth it. The pork tenderloin and stone bass with crab bisque were well presented, tasted delicious and were quite filling. The lemon posset was good too. We would certainly recommend this restaurant.

After cycling to Padstow and finding it impossible to find anywhere to eat we cycled back to Wadebridge and stumbled upon this little gem of a place. Don't be fooled by the outside, we almost went somewhere else but were so hungry we decided to give it go. We ordered the Panko chicken wrap and the rump steak wrap, both of which were totally yummy. The customer service was brilliant and the staff were lovely. If we're ever in this neck of the woods again we'll definitely return.

Food was excellent and the staff were lovely. I was impressed that they took the trouble of responding to my phone message to say they were fully booked when other places simply didn’t reply and later got back to me as they’d had a cancellation. Very good service, highly recommended.

I ate here with my wife for dinner whilst on holiday & it is a fabulous place. Deceptive as from the outside doesn't appear particularly large but is very spacious once inside with different levels. Staff were very friendly and our food was faultless. My starter was arancini which I hadn't had before & was delicious, whilst the fish katsu curry was to die for. Highly recommended!

This little restaurant looks pretty basic from the outside but was an incredible spot for a dinner for 10. We had a range of ages, vegetarians and even a severe milk allergy, but everyone was well catered for. The food was beautiful and the drinks were flowing. A perfect way to end our holiday!

Superb, Superb, Superb ! We ate out several times while in Cornwall, The Bridge Bistro was by far the best meal of the week. Everything from start to finish was excellent.

My husband and I had an amazing meal here last night. Excellent menu choice and our food was exceptional. The staff were friendly and made us feel very special. Advise anyone to book well in advance and you won’t be disappointed. I would happily say it was one of the loveliest meals out we’ve had. Can’t wait to come back.

Everything about the evening was brilliant, from the food, to the cocktails, to the staff. They were even kind enough to make us a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu! 10/10 would go back next time.

The food and service in this restaurant is consistently excellent. They kept our spirits up with high quality takeaways during lockdown so it was a pleasure to return to 'eating in'. For anyone concerned about Covid safety, the staff cannot be faulted. All staff wear masks which are tight fitting and substantial. Table spaced despite the rules being relaxed and it was lovely not to be able to hear other people's conversations. Both starters: calamari and goats cheese salad were really tasty and portions were substantial. My burger was made extra delicious by a plummy home made ketchup. The other half's Moroccan chicken was moist and the couscous minty and delicious. Peanut butter and banana blondie for dessert was a revelation - moist and satisfying and went well with the bitter chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. All washed down with a great gin cocktail and a fab bottle of rose d'Anjou whose slightly sweet aftertaste went perfectly with all 3 courses. Service was attentive (checking if diners were warm enough and that they had everything they wanted) and efficient without making us feel rushed. We are very lucky to live nearby as this will always be our fav local restaurant.

Lucky enough to come twice this week - the first time was excellent and we managed to get a cancellation to come again. Fantastic food quality, great drinks and excellent customer service.

Ate here with my wife after reading good reviews on here.The food was superb, we had calamari and pulled pork wrap to start, both were superb.For main I had the beef and my wife had the katsu curry. Mine was very good but I had a taste of my wife’s curry and it was unreal.We shared a sticky toffee pudding for desert and it was superb.We had a gin and tonic each, rubharb and raspberry with ginger ale, a superb combo.Great meal, brilliant staff and a really good evening.Highly recommend.

We came here as a family to celebrate a 4yo birthday with a (relatively) quiet lunch and the experience could not have been better. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was outstandingly friendly... we booked again for a few days later because we had such a good time.The kids had fish n chips and meatball pasta (both received two thumbs up). The adults had the lamb kofte burger, lamb gyros and 2x vegan thai salads, again all were delicious and such good value. Desserts and cheese also hit the mark with great sundaes and brownies. The coffees were also much better than I've had anywhere else in Cornwall.

If you’re after good food, wine and excellent service then this place is for you. The quality of food is first class as is the service. Recommend booking early. Thanks for a lovely evening. We’ll be back!

What a superb experience at Bridge Bistro on 9th July. Booking via e mail was super easy and our table was very quickly confirmed with no fussArrived at the given time and shown to our table. Covid measures in place with relevant social distancing but without feeling remote or cold. A nice buzz and vibe in the restaurant, helped along by extremely friendly staff. Food and drink were sublime - well presented, fresh, tasted good and served in a timely manner (not too fast or too slow). The food itself was outstanding but the highlight was the friendliness of the staff - chatty, relaxed, approachable and funny. We absolutely loved it. Can’t recommend this Bistro highly enough. It’s a real gem in Wadebridge and will now be a yearly visit for us when we are in Cornwall

Wanted a ‘special’ restaurant for my birthday meal whilst visiting Northern Cornwall.The recommendations by our accommodation and locals we were given were mostly upmarket pubs or seafood restaurants but after searching on the internet am SO glad opted for the Bridge Bistro in .wadebridge as this was the most amazing find even though 15 miles from where we were staying - would travel double the distance!The attentiveness from messaging regarding a reservation to checking that we were still requiring booking and post visit was second to none.We eat out a lot and I can honestly say we have not had the quality of food and presentation whIlst also with the most attentive service for as long as I can remember…….total dedication by the owners even more so in these covid times.Cocktails were offered too which have been hard to find in the area we were staying which added to special birthday occasion.We just wish the Bridge Bistro was in our home town of Harrogate as we have so many great restaurants but nothing tops our visit here.

Having visited over the last 5 years it was nice to be able to come back and eat at The Bridge . Really attentive front of house staff and Really good tasty food , good choice of Food , Cooked really well and presented well . Well done everyone at The Bridge Bistro

Excellent from start to finish . Friendly efficient staff, excellent food , so good we went back two days later . You do need to book . Highly recommend.

Our party of 4 have had the most delicious three course meal in the Bridge Bristro. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their starters of prawn, trout pate, park belly and cauliflower tandoori. The mains were chicken and the lamb burger . The most deliciously moist chicken with a beautiful sauce. Followed by the best sticky toffee pudding and pana cotta. My only regret is that we can't return as they are fully booked. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Amazing service from the team. Honestly nothing to fault! Looking forward to another visit :)

Thank you so much for a lovely experience. Your welcome and service to us was spot on. My friends were really impressed with the quality and value of the food.

Food and Service was impeccable!!! Upon arrival we were greeted by Martina who was friendly and professional and couldn't do enough for us. Food was full of flavour and great sized portions. They even catered for the three year old with us. I had the Katsu curry.... all I can say is WOW!!! We will definitely come back

... so i thought i should encourage it :) Yeah. They act civilised and sentiently. Such things seemed once-normal perhaps.. but maybe not so much now. Sorry if i was going on there. Trip advisor wanted a hundred words form me :) Gs

Nice place with very pleasant and helpful staff. Menu had various fresh options. Cocktails were excellent. Certainly worth a visit.

Truly enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. I believe it had only been open for a week when we visited, but had been recommended by a number of people in the hotel and around Wadebridge. We were very lucky to get a table, since they were quite busy and they did not disappoint. The venue is nicely done and the food was delicious. Coupled with friendly and prompt service and it all added to a truly nice and memorable restaurant visit.

Had the most amazing meal, two courses at a very competitive price, food was excellent, and to find out they were a chef down made it even more noteworthy. Would highly recommend. Excellent friendly service.

We visited the Bridge Bistro as two couples one night during our stay in N Cornwall. Nicely located near the centre of town. To start with us men in the party both had mussels mariniere, which were both cooked well and tasty. My wife had the lamb kofte, which looked and tasted amazing. For mains the men had fish , I had the sea bass and my friend had the hake. Both were well received by us and swiftly devoured. The ladies had a steak and burger respectively, my wife said the burger was ok but the rib eye steak looked a bit fatty for my taste and wasn't particularly well received. Puddings were all excellent and between us we pretty much went through the sweet trolley.In hindsight, from my point of view it was great but from the other side of the table it got mixed reviews. Service was spot on, and at £34 for 3 courses I thought fairly good value for money too.

Such a lovely dinner with a friend, I had the mussels to start and then a pork chop with a potato rosti and chimmichurri- was all really delicious including the wine! My friend had the veggie options and loved hers too. Lovely service and a nice atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

I went with 3 friends and we all had absolutely excellent food- great menu choice and the staff were super friendly. Definitely one to recommend- wish I lived closer!

Once again this restaurant is pulling out al the stops to provide high quality takeaway food during lockdown. The menu offered 2 varied choices for each course so we ordered one of each so we could do some swapping. All of the dishes were delicious, including an excellent fish curry with accompaniments and a really well-seasoned, succulent confit du canard with creamy dauphinoise potatoes and a heavenly red wine sauce. The packaging made sure that each item was still the right temperature and there were handy instructions for finishing the desserts so that they would be as good as in the restaurant. Best of all, the food was brought to my car which means an awful lot when you are trying to shield. Thanks again.

This was our first dining out experience in 2020 because of the epidemic. We were concerned about the risks because of elderly grandparents etc. However the social distancing measures, masked people and scrupulously clean restaurant reassured us and once settled we relaxed removed our masks and enjoyed a delightful evening as a family group. The food as always at the bistro was fantastic. I had 3 courses (£30) choosing panko prawns (I only ate 3 of these because the rest of the group liked the look of them so much they helped themselves to mine!). For my main I chose haunch of venison, served pink as it should be, with roasted shallots red cabbage rosemary jus as usual for dessert I chose the chef's award winning sticky toffee pudding. The four adults consumed a bottle of Camel valley Bacchus Dry our local wine which I strongly recommend as it grows just 5 miles away up the Camel valley. With our main courses we chose an excellent Merlot. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough we have dined here for years now and have never been disappointed.

I contacted the Bridge Bistro as it was my birthday and I wanted a good takeaway. The festive takeaway menu was very similar to their eat in one and didn't disappoint. The celeriac soup with truffle oil was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Our mains: one venison and one salmon with hollandaise were also really good as were our desserts. The price and the amount of choice were also very good, especially for a festive menu. The staff could not have been more helpful and we will order from then again.

Went to Bridge Bistro with friends who were visiting and had a fantastic evening meal. Great value for a two or three course meal and a really good menu choice. All of us really enjoyed our meals, the food was excellent. All the staff were so friendly & welcoming and they had all the necessary Covid safe measures in place. Would definitely recommend.

We had a delicious two course set menu at The Bridge Bistro. Great local food and wine! Lovely friendly staff, and good value too.

After being unable to get a table on the Saturday we booked on a wet Tuesday night, our last day in Wadebridge. We were so glad we did, quality food at a reasonable price, dishes we wouldn't normally choose but sometimes you need to challenge the norm and push your boundaries! We could not fault our food and the service was excellent too, highly recommended.

We had a very enjoyable meal in the Bridge Bistro last week. The restaurant was busy but we did not feel crowded or rushed. My wife had the goats cheese to start which was marvellous. Meanwhile I opted for the Plaice Goujons which were tasty. For mains we both went for the Sea Bass risotto which was tasty and filling. We were so full that my wife could not eat desert. I had the Thunder and lighting which was super. Not quite sure why not 5 stars.

Fantastic customer service (and this is really important to me) and this is matched in the quality of the food. Superb. Really happy with our trip to the Bridge. Well worth a visit.

We're isolating at the moment and, among the many limitations to our lives, we are unable to visit our favourite, Bridge bistro.Hearing that they are providing a takeaway service we decided to give it a try and, I must confess, did not expect that the high standards of the experience of dining at Bridge could be matched.Were we wrong! The food was as tasty as we have come to expect from them, the menu was wide and varied (with a choice of starters, mains and desserts) and the presentation was perfect.Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

We had a very pleasant meal with our son here. I think they get booked up as only one time was available when I called up shortly before hand.It felt Covid safe and clean.There was a good range of food options and we all enjoyed our choicesStaff were friendly and helpful. My husband lost his wallet and we thought we could have left it there. I was impressed with the speed with which they returned our call enquiring about this. (It hadn't been left there but at the local co-op who were equally helpful)

My wife and I enjoyed a really tasty and relaxing lunch at Bridge Bistro. Excellent service. Delicious and well prepared food. Great idea to have option of having less carbs on some menu options. Extensive drinks menu, with several locally sourced. Thoroughly recommend!

The team were hugely accommodating when I mentioned a health-related dietary requirement at the time I made my reservation. I’m unable to eat onions & garlic, which can often scupper a nice meal, but the monkfish was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in years.Service was very friendly, there’s a good gin selection, and the atmosphere was easygoing despite social distancing. A lovely evening. Many thanks, Bridge Bistro.

Unsure about many restaurants in social distances this restaurant offers it all. Good layout excellent welcoming staff, dog friendly and most important delicious tasty food with a good variety of Fish and meat on the menu. A family restaurant that everyone is evolved ,well worth a visit. This was the best restaurant that we visited during our week holiday in Cornwall.

a great friendly Restuarant . The menu had a good choice of dishes . The food was very tasty and well presented. I would fully recommend the Bridge Bistro.

Spending a couple of days in the Wadebridge area, this was a great experience with great food, very efficient and friendly service and an overall dinner experience to be remembered. The last time we enjoyed a first time experience as good as this was in Bideford at Number Eight restaurant, a SW RESTAURANT WINNER. Well done also to Amy, our waitress who was perfect.

A friend & I came here last night for dinner which was a first since lockdown & a much needed catch up. We were a bit apprehensive with everything Covid but we didn’t even have to worry. Bridge Bistro have got it so right where social distancing is concerned. We actually felt so welcome & safe from the wonderful staff, that we actually forgot what we were apprehensive about! Felt normal for the first time in ages & it was wonderful to feel so relaxed.Food was absolutely fantastic. In truth it was a delightful evening. Would definitely recommend.Thank you very much x

Had a lovely meal on the last night of our holiday. Beautifully presented and lovely fresh tasty food. Service was excellent and staff made you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

We managed to get a booking due to a cancellation. Vegan starter was superb. Fish mains were exceptional. Vegan desert finished off a perfect evening. Wine and service faultless.

Warmly received on arrival at the bistro and shown to a table in the lower area. Good tasty food well presented. Reasonably priced. Staff very helpful Worth a visit

We were staying at the Premier Inn in Wadebridge & decided to book here about 10 days prior to our arrival, as restaurants were getting booked up. The venue is quiet, charming & in a lovely building. The staff were excellent & the four ladies we dealt with never stopped working all night. Nothing was too much trouble. The service stood out for me as a business owner myself.The COVID precautions were well adhered to & easy to follow, with hand sanitiser available upon arrival, a marked waiting area & very socially distanced tables. The staff also wear face coverings.We had the 3 courses for £30 with drinks. The pea soup was homemade, had a great texture & came with two pieces of bread. The 10oz Sirloin with mushrooms, chips & tomatoes was cooked to a very tasty medium & our puddings/coffee were a lovely end to a great meal.The time between each course was just right & I would highly recommend a meal here. Very enjoyable. Thank you to all those front & back of house!

The building has character with some arch shaped windows, different level flooring and high ceilings etc but has a modern simple understated feel decor. I found this restaurant through tripadvisor and rang and spoke to someone called Vicky who was very helpful and sounded passionate about the restaurant, the history of the business and what was likely to be on the menu and kindly sent me a menu via email a few days later. We were not disappointed as the food and presentation was fantastic. It’s a set menu with either 2 or 3 course with around 6 starters and 6 mains to choose from. We had the crispy Panko king prawns and chilli chicken skewers for starters, we both had pan reared pork fillet which was very soft and tender and melted in your mouth and ice cream sundae for deserts. Our waitress Amy was very professsional, friendly and always had a smile on her face. I would highly recommend and would definitely eat here again.

I feel like this is one of the most underrated restaurants in Cornwall. If you are staying in the Wadbridge area you have to go here I have never had a bad meal! Really lovely staff and fairly priced x

Living Local, however my 1st ever visit to Bridge Bistro. Wow I wish I'd been here before. Table of 4 adults 2 children. Lovely varied menu for all. Most of us had starters and mains and pudding. Great portions, colourful, well presented fresh food. Deserved food selfie for sure. The tastes complemented each other beautifully. I could easily of eaten the childrens food too. Awesome chips,fish fingers and chicken strips. Great service too. Thank you ladies 100% return and recommend

Having visited Wadebridge for a number of years, and never eaten in the Bridge Bistro, we decided to give it a go.We were not disappointed! The starters, mains and puddings were all beautifully fresh, well presented and full of taste. Our teen literally hoovered up the chicken with Mediterranean couscous, broccoli and pomegranate!! I suspect he would have eaten it all over again if given a chance!Definitely recommend- and we won’t leave it as long before visiting again!!

We had been recommended this restaurant many times by locals and living in Wadebridge decided that we would try it. We attended for dinner and were not disappointed! The service was so friendly and welcoming and we ordered bread with dipping oil, starters of mackerel and prawns, mains of sea bass, desserts and a great local wine. The food arrived timely and was excellent quality, fresh and tasty. This is one of the best restaurants we have eaten at in Cornwall! We agree with the locals and would highly recommend also to others.

Managed to get in here thanks to a cancellation. What a result!!All staff extremely friendly and accommodating.Prawn starter light, refreshing and perfectly cooked. Rib-eye steak succulent, tender and full of flavour. Thought that the meal couldn’t get any better and then had the sticky toffee pudding. I always thought that Rick Stein did the best - but this was another step up. Glorious end to a very enjoyable and fattening evening.All this and a well regulated and considerate attention to social distancing.We will definitely be back.

I took my twelve year old grandson to the Bridge Bistro on Saturday night. The staff were very welcoming and I know he immediately felt at ease. Whilst he was given the choice of either menu, William chose the chicken from the mini menu, which he said was delicious and he left a very clean plate! He had just enough room for ice cream. I had the hake, which I seldom actually choose in restaurants but this was absolutely delicious, with plenty of white flesh and it was really juicy. I said we were not in a hurry and we were allowed plenty of time, whilst assuring us that we only had to indicate should we need anything. I also enjoyed both the Prosecco and the large glass of French red wine and William enjoyed his Coca Cola. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will return.

Booked for four on a Saturday night, having been to a fine dining restaurant the previous evening, food superb, had mussels to start, plump , devine, chicken starter and beautiful soups for 2 of our party, mains were succulent chicken, with potato rosti , tenderstem and jus- yummy, plaice with saffron and mussel sauce was amazing and hake with warm tartar sauce , veg etc scrumptious, all cooked beautifully, as good as the fine dining venue, we shared a couple yummy puds, posset and sundaes, lovely service, felt safe under Covid guidelines, very good value, we r local and will be back soon, thank you very much

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior. This is a great restaurant with food that speaks for itself and would surpass many who’ve invested in trendy rebrands. Excellent personable service and exactly the sort of place that needs to supported in the current climate.

We live in Wadebridge and with having 3 young children we don't go out to often. My partner had a week off work and we decided to stay local and try out all our local restaurants. I'm so glad we did. This place was perfect. Not only the yummy food, the staff was so lovely and really accommodated for our little family. Nothing was a problem. Myself and my daughter had the pork meatballs (so yummy and full of flavour) and my twins had the child's chicken and chips (the chicken you could tell was homemade and cooked beautifully) even tho we had this "eat out to help our deal" the quality of the food and atmosphere was definitely worth paying full price. The kids meal was £10 usually which included a proper homemade meal, a drink and also a dessert (usually in these deals it's one scoop of ice cream or a bit of jelly - not here... two of my children had a thunder and lightning ice-cream sundae and my other daughter had sticky toffee pudding - Amazing!) I am not usually a dessert person myself but I had to try the lemon posset (wow I'm so glad I did!) The lady running the restaurant was so welcoming we are returning again next week. I would definitely recommend coming here and I am so proud to have beautiful restaurants like this in our town.

A really great evening, food was excellent with a great choices, though the standout was the sticky toffee pudding. Staff really friendly and helpful nothing is a problem just a great all round evening. Thank you

This was our first restaurant visit since Covid regs and we were apprehensive about how the experience would be. We should not of worried. The food was awesome ... although they say they have reduced their menu, we still had trouble deciding. We were all blown away by what we had and no one was sharing any ... so we’ll definitely have to return to try out other options. The staff were encouraging Covid rules in a subtle way and observing it themselves without it being obstructive. They were very friendly, accommodating and put us at ease. All in all an amazing experience ... THANK YOU GUYS. I’d certainly recommend!! X

We opted for here after drawing a blank on the raved restaurants on Padstein - sorry, Padstow - and landed on our feet. A lovely setting in a modern, chic chapel conversion, we were sat near the wood burner that was going, which added a cosy feel (I'd recommend to ask for a table on the level where the woodburner is located, partly because it adds a nice touch and partly because its at the end of the restaurant and so is less busy and more cosy). The menu was varied without being overwhelming - always a good sign. The service was polite, unobtrusive and was well timed to be not too rushed or too long. I loved my prawn starter, and the main! Parma-ham wrapped pork tenderloin was cooked-to-perfection and was utterly delicious as well as stylishly presented. Delicious and snazzy take on custard tart to finish and it was all done for 52 for a three course for two with soft drinks. Very recommended.

Absolutely superb in every aspect. Would recommend to anyone. Best meal and service we’ve had in a very long time. Staff incredible.

A really enjoyable evening. Food was fantastic as always. Wine and other drinks very reasonably priced. Service much better than this time last year as they had 1 bad egg but he's gone now!

Christmas meal with other traders from Hamiltons Yard ,pre booked .Have to admit didnt hold out much hope for this meal as Christmas fare is usually rubbish .....OMG gorgeous starter ,fab dinner and a kick your granny for xmas dessert .Well cooked ,on time and beautifully presented. Slight muddle up on two orders but as we are all of a certain age probably our fault..Im gluten free and i was completely catered for .We will return.Brilliant

My friend and I had the most delicious Christmas lunch yesterday at this restaurant we both had the turkey escalope and a sumptuous dessert thoroughly recommend it can’t praise the staff or food highly enough

I have eaten here many times and the food, service and atmosphere is always excellent!! So when tasked with organising my work Christmas Dinner it seemed the likely place!! I was nervous as I hadn’t arranged a large group before but the Bistro did us proud and were externally accommodating, even with some quirky requests!! Couldn’t recommend this place high enough for any occasion big group or intimate dinner!!!

Lovely staff, lovely food, quick service and reasonably priced. What more could you want for a local eatery. I tend to visit for lunches and take out drinks and couldn't want for anything better. If you haven't been go, you won't be disappointed!

We love eating here,as always the service and food do not disappoint. Chef and team produce a delicious feast both for the eyes and palate.

Called in with my husband when passing and so glad we did. The food was delicious and well presented. I had warm Panko chicken wrap with amazing bbq dressing and my husband had melt in his mouth rump steak sandwich, with red onion marmalade and feta .There was a nice atmosphere and the young lady had such a sincere friendly manner, she was lovely. Loo facilities clean and well maintained (always a good indicator of standards in my head). We will definitely return when we visit Wadebridge again. In fact, the Bistro is a reason to visit the town.

Went there with some friends on recommendation. Very good friendly service and good food Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant - will go again when in the area and would thoroughly recommend

Just returned home after a delicious meal at this delightful restaurant, everything was absolutely faultless, the food was excellent, staff were extremely curtious and friendly, this was probably the best meal we have had in Cornwall since moving here a year ago, we will definitely be returning very soon. Well done to the whole team.

Popped into this lovely little bistro on a whim. Lovely food & warm friendly service made this a delightful lunch spot. There is also a small deli attached to the bistro too. Well worth a visit.

Excellent food , ambience, service. We were not local and were recommended this place. Well deserved.

I had two really nice grilled makrel filet for starters and grilled plaice fillets for main and both were excellent dishes and served nice and warm. Good selection of wines, also by the glass and a very interesting Gin card. Friendly and efficient service

Had a wonderful family meal, great menu choice and food all beautifully presented. Also tried the cocktails which were amazing!

We enjoyed a lovely meal here with cocktails, great service, well thought out menu and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the chicken burger and pork dish! We were so full after our mains so didn’t try a dessert, they looked great though!

6 of us had a fantastic meal - all dishes were memorable. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. Came back the next morning for brunch - one of the best we have had. Thoroughly recommend this place 👍😃

Went here last night and had a starter and main. The food was amazing, presentation and flavours both incredible. Calamari special to start and hake as a main served with new potatoes and spinach. Staff both very helpful and friendly.

Very good evening meal, reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and attentive to your requirements. Definitely worth a visit but play safe and book in advance. Sticky toffee pudding dessert. Mmm

Good range menu and drinks pleasant ambiance, clean premises, pleasant staff and good service been before will be back

Loved the mussels we had as a starter. Mains were good too and staff friendly. We brought our dog and they have one table reserved for that, near the side entrance, so we weren’t in the main area, but we were okay with that.

The staff were extremely helpful and we managed to have the last table having not booked. Our starters were so amazing we struggled to eat our main courses, but would highly recommend. Excellent selection of gins and some good wines available.

Visited about a week ago, with my girlfriend, we sat down the service was lovely, very polite and accommodating. my girlfriend had the crispy duck, but she has a coriander intolerance, we told the waitress and she informed the chef and he very kindly made a fresh batch for her without any coriander, where as i had the burger, it was lovely and juice and for £14 well worth the price for everything you get with it. over all had a fantastic experience and would go back anytime.

It was a large booking on carnival night so expected it to be busy.

We ate here one evening and it was so good we went back a second time in the week we were in Cornwall. The decor, ambience, friendly and helpful staff and gorgeous food made it a pleasure to dine in. We shall definitely return next time we are in Cornwall.

A real treat to eat here. the staff are lovely and friendly and the food is exceptional. We found it hard to decide what to eat due to the wonderful menu. This isn't to say the menu is vast (it isn't) but it is perfectly put together to tempt all palates. Good idea to book first, as it is obviously one of Wadebridge's gems.
