Edie's Kitchen in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

What a fantastic place for our celebratory meal. We were on holiday, staying just up the road, and saw this restaurant in a review. I am especially drawn to food flavours, quality and presentation, and Edie's met my need 100%. Service was perfect, thank you nameless person doing up your house, you also helped to make the evening special. I will not recommend a specific dish because when we next pass we will definitely return to eat here and try a different combination. Thoroughly recommend, visit is often as you can.

Excellent food and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We visited Edies while on holiday. We booked it while based on Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. Located in a very ordinary looking local shopping arcade it is nothing ordinary at all. Edie's small team make you feel immediately welcome and the restauraunt is simple but nicely decorated in muted tones. There's a reasonable amount of background noise but conversation is private as a result. The menu is compact - 4-5 choices per course and all cooked to order. Simply put the foof was amazing - it was so difficult to make a chouce we had to come back for a 2nd night to sample other things on the menu :o) For the standard of food, wine and service I would say this is a great value place to eat if compared with many so called gastro pubs! Highly recommended - Twice backed cheese souflee was possibly the best starter I have ever had :o)

I now have to move to Cornwall. The best place I've eaten at in a while. Super relaxed, great space, easy ambiance and food that just thinking about makes me happy. Definite must when in the area.

Second visit 😍 Exceptional dining experience. I dined here for my husband's birthday celebration. Everything from start to finish was impeccable. The service was literally more than I had ever experienced. Cozy ambiance, attentive staff, and delicious food. Beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. A must-visit for any food lover!

One of the best meals we have had in a long time - every dish was flawless! Only giving a 4 due to slow service, otherwise was exceptional!

Best food in Carlyon Bay area and probably Cornwall.

A great first experience all round and the best meal out in a long time Thank you

In my opinion, the best restaurant in Cornwall. And I am lucky enough to live on the doorstep. The quality of the locally-sourced food and drink is sublime, making your senses sing. It is also excellent value, particularly if you dine at lunchtime or before 6.45pm on Wednesday or Thursday when the prix fixe menu is available. Don’t let the location on a ‘service road’ parade of shops fool you; this is the real deal. If it had a sea view as well as exceptional food, it would no doubt be much pricier. Don’t change a thing!

I had a fantastic lunch, three courses for £32. There was real care taken in the dishes presentation and not a scrap was wasted. I personally think that's it's a great price, especially if you consider the cost of food in nearby Charlestown. Just remember to book. Edited: typo.

Beautiful food, wonderful, friendly and attentive staff, great relaxed atmosphere. Did I say beautiful food? Once again, just to be sure.....Beautiful Food!!!! Thank you for another wonderful evening, lovely people.

We had such a delicious lunch. What a gorgeous spot.

How lovely is this restaurant?! 😍 just popt in for lunch and it was one of the best restaurants we‘ve been for some time! Friendly service, perfect kitchen, lovely drinks; what else would you expect?! Well deserved 5 stars! Thank you!

Disappointed with the crab Starter excepting more than a spoonful of crab on a crumpet and a few drips Of shrimp sauce could of been made more exciting Or imaginative but the rest of the meals were top notch

Delightful food and staff. Can't fault.

Stunning good honest food, beautifully presented Michelin standard at a quarter the price by a very relaxed smiling staff. Loved it. Just wished I lived close by . Try it before it gets noticed. I am used to mIchelin restaurants. Wine excellent .

Edie’s is a lovely restaurant and the food is amazing. The service was really good and the staff were very friendly.

Excellent appetizer. the steak, however, unfortunately had too much rib.

The restaurant was so cosy with a great atmosphere. The food was exceptional and was a great price. All the staff were welcoming and improved the experience. Would definitely recommend.

My word. What an amazing place. Superb food, great atmosphere, wonderful service. Best meal I've had in ages - by far! Three of us all shared our starters and desserts and each were fantastic. The negronis were pretty knock out too!

We had a fantastic meal here. The food was delicious - the steak and hake for mains were perfect and the blackberry soufflé desert was amazing. Children's menu was great, our 9 year old loved the kids steak! Service was friendly and attentive and we felt really comfortable with our 2 children even on a busy Saturday evening. Would definitely go again!

Fantastic food, nice atmosphere, photo taken after first mouth full, ' I need to leave a good review '. Hake was fabulous, black current sufle was amazing!

Good food, but not as special as earlier reviews made us believe. So its a nice place but maybe a bit overrated

100% 5 star!!! Awesome good, great cocktails and friendly staff

This is a place where the team have a passion for food and service. Absolutely top notch restaurant which we loved. What an absolute gem. We loved the food and the staff.

Fabulous lunch with great produce. Wonderful hosts! A true gem!

Food was OK - a few crisps put on the table with some balsamic dressing, but the hair in the dressing put us off that. The mustard dressing on the beef croquette was overpowering - more like wasabi, but the beef was nice. Hake was good. The Bakewell desert was dried out and not good. I would have expected better considering the price. The staff were all very pleasant, but looked a bit scruffy for food service - stained T shirts, an assortment of jeans and some generally filthy white trainers. Affordable wine choice limited and served far too warm.

Excellent restaurant just down the road from Carlyon beach. Staff very attentive, food was delicious and reasonably priced Restaurant had a great atmosphere and would definitely recommend eating here

Edie's has an unassuming front outside of St. Austell but the food was fantastic. Classic menu done perfectly. Up there with The Pig In Brokenhurst. We will definitely be back.

My partner and I took Nan here and had the most unforgettable meal. Food 11/10. Atmosphere 11/10. Service 11/10. Everything was perfect. We even had the pure pleasure of being seated next to the kitchen and had a front row seat to watch the chefs work their magic. Every dish was incredible. All the flavours were exquisite and there was not a single dish that was lacking in any way. Even though we were completely stuffed after our starters and mains, we still ordered dessert simply because we didn’t want to miss out on anything. This place is truly spectacular, and you’d be a fool not to try and come here. Special thanks to our waitress Tye (sorry if I spelt it wrong), you were an absolute legend and played a huge part in making it the greatest dinner the three of us have shared together. We can’t wait to come back one day in the future

Have just returned to our holiday accommodation after a wonderful meal at Edie's. I booked it having read about it in a recent article listing 20 restaurants to try in Cornwall from The Times. I had the tomato starter which was so simple yet so delicious with the whipped feta. Hubby had the short rib croquette and said he could happily eat six!! For mains we both had the hake and the combination of pancetta, with the broad beans, salty samphire and the perfectly cooked hake was divine. I passed on pudding. Hubby had the cherry Bakewell tart which he enjoyed but it wasn't as wow as the other two courses. Do go! Mojito was great as was the very friendly front of house staff.

Superb quality food and service 😎

Loved our family meal tonight, wonderful service and the best food we’ve enjoyed in Cornwall so far.

We came here mid week last week. Lots of people locally rave about this place, so I thought I'd better give it a go- I've not been since it changed hands all those years ago! All the staff were lovely, the place itself is really nicely done. It feels lovely and familiar. The bread and garlic was well done. The goats cheese souffle was nice and well cooked. The vegetarian main was alright - although forgettable because I can't even recall what it was exactly! All the food was good, nice, and as you would want from a restaurant. Absolutely no complaints.... however everyone Absolutely raves about edies... so I expected more! I expected my socks to be blown off, I expected to be craving an Edies. Sadly I'm not!

Food was ok but steak was cold, chips weren’t very nice. Expected better with the hype and the cost, it was average food and nothing more. Wife’s desert was more like pub grub desert dressed up with pistachios and white chocolate sauce No draughts, local beers served out of cans with a half pint glass Staff where excellent can’t fault that The restaurant itself is tiny with as many tables rammed into a small space so it’s very loud and you’re practically eating with people sat on the table next to you. Aesthetically inside it’s not much to look at. Looks like it is in dire need of new flooring This is however only my experience, it’s not a bad place I just expected it to be nicer and the food to be better. But the size of the place to how many tables are in there was the biggest let down for me. We went for our anniversary so was a special occasion and it didn’t feel like the place I’d want to celebrate something like that there, more as a quick pit stop to grab a bite if you’re conveniently in the area

Excellent. Fine dining to perfection.

We loved everything about our meal: the delicious and original food, the attentive and efficient service from Edie's team and the atmosphere and presentation of the restaurant. It's a family affair with Edie as manager and her dad cooking. Superb.

Absolutely faultless great food reasonably priced and quality service what more do you want

Excellent food (again) last night, with smiling, attentive staff. The food is worthy of a Michelin star. Thank you team Edie!

Wonderful, delicious meal, great atmosphere, 100% recommend.

Absoultely fabulous meal and staff! :)

Lovely little place, great food, unpretentious and welcoming, lovely staff, thoroughly recommended.

Everything was perfect: the food, the drinks, the service, the decor, atmosphere and playlist! Would highly recommend.

Fabulous atmosphere with fabulous food a truly fabulous dining experience. A true Oasis in the desert.

Mum, Dad and myself had lunch at Edies last Friday. After a rubbish Christmas with colds, my Auntie passing away and other stuff going on. We felt we deserved to treat ourselves at Edies. Really enjoyed it. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Well done guys. Your doing a great job.

Fantastic two course lunch today. Delicious fresh cooked food, drinks selection great and awesome service.

This place is fabulous 👌 service, food and atmosphere definitely worth a visit

The food is fairly average. Large portion sizes. Reminds me of home cooked food. The restaurant itself felt quite cold. The front of house staff are great. Booked to celebrate a special occasion which was in the note section when making the booking, unfortunately wasn’t picked up by anyone in the restaurant.

Fantastic all round - we had a table of 7 every one came away giving 5 stars and can't wait to go back. Really good size portions for high end food and great value for money. I will definitely be back. Service from start to finish was brilliant, couldn't have wished for better.

Beautiful food, honestly stunning! And the service was second to none. Despite being really high end food, great size portions and a really relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back

My husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law all came here for my birthday meal, and what an absolute treat it was! The ambience and service were inviting, friendly, but never fussy; our hostess and server made us feel right at home. We were fortunate enough to have a table with a perfect view into their open plan kitchen, and it was fantastic to watch the chefs at work creating beautiful dishes. As a coeliac, it's easy to feel shortchanged when looking at the menu (same with vegetarian food for my husband), but we felt that each option sounded delicious, instead of a sad afterthought. My husband waxed poetic about his soufflé starter for days afterwards, and I felt just the same about my gorgeous chicken main dish. For the quality of food and service, everything was very fairly priced and truly excellent value for money. Michelin quality food and drink, with the vibe and price tag of your favourite friendly local establishment -- so what's not to love? We will certainly be back, and I couldn't recommend a meal here highly enough. Thank you Edie's!!

Absolutely divine. Service is amazing food as always first class, great atmosphere. Can't speak highly enough of the complete team. Amazing thank you.

Great food, great service and atmosphere

You need to book this in advance but the food service and atmosphere was brill..well worth a visit

As I am fast approaching 52 I was a bit gutted that we had never been here before. All three courses were a delight. Staff were fantastic, nothing was any trouble. Had a great night and will definitely be returning.

I have never ever eaten a steaks like this. 🤩 The atmosphere was fantastic, the food is 5 stars, the serving is amazing . The staff is so friendly. We really recommend.

Interesting menu & flavour combinations. Well cooked and beautifully presented. Great wine list & very hospitable. We will be back.

Wow! The food and service were absolutely fabulous. The restaurant was busy and a little noisy but the food and service far outweighed this. I will definitely be back.

We dined at Edies last night to celebrate a birthday 🎉 We were blown away by the standard of the delicious food! Outstanding. The staff were charming and the atmosphere was unpretentious and friendly. All this and just 20 minutes away! Yippee 🙌 We will certainly be back soon!

We had a wonderful meal here on Friday for our 1st wedding anniversary. Front of house were very attentive and we had a very warm welcome.... that's before we've even eaten! The food was delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed it, especially as we are foodies and very spoilt living in Brighton! What a gem of a find whilst staying in Cornwall. We will definitely return on our next visit, and will recommend to our family and friends when they are visiting Cornwall! Thank you for a lovely experience all round and making our anniversary so special!! Jules and Tee ❤️

It was our first visit to Edie's and we were very impressed with the level of service & the food was excellent. We live in Essex but visit Cornwall 2/3 times a year as my partners father lives there. We will certainly be booking a table at Edie's on our next visit- highly recommended.

Everything we ate was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Our favourites were the soufflé and the chicken cooked in cider.

I'm so glad to have found edie's, we are on holiday in the area and this restaurant is far superior to anywhere else in the area . An exquisite menu and great beers and wine list not forgetting the front of house staff who looked after us , and very reasonable prices for fantastic produce imaginatively presented. A must visit if you are in the area , thanks guys for a memorable evening.

Our first visit and we're already planning a second. Could not fault anything and would absolutely recommend to anyone. The staff were all friendly but not overbearing. We were kept up to date on our food as the kitchen was short staffed but other than a slightly longer wait than you would expect, you wouldn't know from the quality of the food. They've got the balance between fine dining and relaxed atmosphere just right.

This place was excellent. Well done!!!Food was really delicious - cooked by chefs who clearly really care about the dishes. Beautifully presented, and service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. No detractors at all 6 stars out of 5!

Excellent. Really, really excellent. Staff were wonderful. Good value for money. Thank you for a lovely evening

A great find in Cornwall! Truly inventive dishes.

This is a real gem of a restaurant. Staff are delightful and the menu has a small but delicious range of freshly prepared dishes, plus excellent wine list. Considering how expensive it is now to eat out, Edie's is reasonably priced and excellent value for the quality. The fish in the meal I ordered had to be substituted because of the morning's catch, but there were no complaints on my part. Just superb! And don't let the location fool you ... this is worth travelling to, and best to book well ahead.

Fantastic find. Great food and very friendly staff. The three of us had different mains and desserts and loved it all. Music maybe more suited to evening but minor issue.

Fantastic restaurant, I would recommend it to anyone staying in or passing anywhere near St. Austell. The staff were a delight, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very relaxed (with excellent music). The food was stunning, and considering the quality, very reasonably priced. I would recommend the Soufflé, which is possibly one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.

This really was a very special find, often hard to book a restaurant when you’re not from the area, but based on reviews and menu - we were not disappointed, the staff were all so friendly, service was exceptional- why this doesn’t have a Michelin star, I don’t know. Food was exquisite and so reasonably priced - please go if you’re in the area, but make sure you book up! We were celebrating my partners 50th and he had a lovely surprise from them which finished the evening off perfectly - really can’t say enough good things about the staff, food and general ambiance of this little gem, thank you Edie ❤️

Went for food this evening, front of house was warm, welcoming and professional. Service was great, friendly, and accommodating. Food was beautiful, cooked to perfection, clean plates on our table, very , very nice indeed. Drinks flowed, no dramas, nothing was out of place. The bill arrived, would have happily payed 25% more, perfect night, bloody enjoyable, you must go and try for yourself. 10/10 👌👍

Popped in for meal with partner and kids whilst we were on holiday in the area. Team were super friendly and welcoming, food and service fantastic-absolute gem of a restaurant, highly recommended!

I am in love with this place - the food was delicious, the gluten free beer options were plentiful, and the staff were a delight - if you're in the area and looking for a slightly fancy meal then I recommend this place 100%

Had an excellent lunch. Plenty of parking and very friendly and professionally run eatery.

We were treated to an evening out by Kat and Luke, and what a treat it was. We were greeted by Kelly, who was charming and shown to our table. The rest of the staff were amazing too. Polite, informative and very helpful........and then there was the food. WOW. Beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked. I need to go back and work my way through a menu that has something for everyone. Just a tip, it's that good here that I would advise booking in advance to avoid disappointment. Many thanks to all involved. Can't wait to see you all soon.

Delicious food and perfect service. We had the prix fixe lunch menu so it was good value for such good food. All of the staff were friendly and attentive, taking their time to chat with us. Also on it with efficient service. They then recommended going to The Two Beards at the View which is a pop up bar in a hotel at Carlyon Bay. Great to experience two wonderful small businesses.

Had the most incredible meal and experience here! The Sea bream was out of this world amazing as was my husbands chicken. Service and cocktails were excellent and we were generously gifted a bottle of Prosecco when they found out we were on our honeymoon. We will be back and can’t recommend this family run business more!

Went for a birthday dinner and I’ll never forget it. The food was divine an cooked to perfection. Service was on point, was even presented with a card and bottle of Prosecco to celebrate the occasion. Would love to return next time I’m in the area

Lunch last Saturday and as usual the food and service was superb. We love our visits to Edies. The food has always been first class

Phenomenal family business producing fantastic food and the best of restaurant experience.

Such a delicious meal at Edies: fish was cooked perfectly, really tasty accompaniments and the soufflé was just perfect. Friendly, relaxed staff and buzzy atmosphere with good music made for a brilliant night for my birthday, thank you 🙂

Fantastic from start to finish. Impeccable service. The food was stand out amazing. Have eaten in many michelin starred restaurants and this food was on par with them and amazing value too! Really food for gluten free too! The halibut with crab and the fillet steak mains were stand out dishes. The cocktails were fab too. 👌 really friendly service and lovely to speak to Kelly. She was really personable and i love that in small independent restaurants. Will definitely return soon!

Absolutely delicious food in a sixties/modernist style restaurant. Attentive service too. Would definitely recommend.

Unexceptional experience. Adequate food but not up to the hype. Monkfish starter was deep fried with a Green herb mayonnaise which had absolutely no flavour. Very disappointing.

Lovely place for great food. Kelly is very welcoming and a great host. Woukd go back time and time again

Fantastic service and great food. This place is a real gem in the St Austell area and is worth anyone's time seeking it out. The staff could not have been friendly or more attentive, they came over just often enough to check on our needs without being too much. The food was great, easily the best I've had during this visit to the south Cornwall coast. It's definitely one of the highlights of the trip and I'd go out of my way to visit again in the future even if I'm not staying locally

This is a perfect restaurant for great service, great food and a great night out. All the chefs are immaculate in their presentation and delivery! The front of house staff couldn’t be kinder or more helpful *****

The food was ok but expected so much better the service really let's this place down and servers not very attentive either. Don't think I'll ever be back

We stopped by for lunch on the way home from Cornwall > It rounded off a lovely trip perfectly. The team were super friendly and attentive. They anticipated questions we had in advance, the food was fantastic and I feel it was great value for money... or put another way, the quality of the food was better than I expected for the price they charge. I would absolutely go back here again and I definitely recommend you try them out.

Excellent food and service. Nice walk from Carlyon Bay hotel.

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. Really friendly staff and great atmosphere. Definitely book this place if you’re visiting the area.

Just a brilliant place. An unexpected location, it's unassuming but very welcoming and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent, hot and fresh straight out of the kitchen. The rhubarb soufflé was just incredible never had anything like it!

Extremely good food and service in a non over bearing atmosphere and location. Well wort a visit.

We had a great evening at Edie's. It has a lovely balance of informality and excellent food. Will definitely be going back.

Great food at good prices - It deserves the many great reviews it gets.

You can watch the food being cooked. (Too much handling of the food plating it up for my taste.) Result is good.

Incredible! Lovely staff and delicious food

Excellent food. Friendly, unpretentious staff. Nice setting. Excellent drinks selection. Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend enough! Thank you very much for a beautiful 3 course meal 💗
