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

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Almond Tree CafeBritish

The Almond Tree has plenty of potential with an attractive rural setting, but on our visit it was badly let down by the lady running the cafe. She was seated at a table using a laptop (the cable was across the floor by the entrance so potentially a hazard) when we arrived and she did not bother to acknowledge us until we said hello. Dirty plates were meanwhile left on another table and were not cleared until some time later. When we asked to see the menu, she just pointed in the direction of the counter and said we would find them there. She made no effort to be helpful or engage in conversation and other than getting our drinks and food, she spent all the time on her laptop. We are locals, and we felt ashamed that holidaymakers to Cornwall could also be treated in this offhand way. Food was okay but nothing spectacular. With the right person in charge of the cafe, plus a cleaner and brighter environment, the Almond Tree could be a very attractive eating place like Fat Apples cafe at nearby Porthallow is. In the meantime, it is not worth visiting.
