The food is SO SO good here! I had a veggie dish (cannot remember the name) and absolutely loved it. The steaks and fish is always cooked perfectly. My son had a pizza that was bigger than his head!! The staff always go above and beyond, so friendly and attentive.

Asistieron a una fiesta para mis tíos 90 cumpleaños. El servicio es razonable para un grupo grande. La comida era buena.

Muy decepcionado, ensalada, no hay mucho triste nada. No volveré. Necesitarán su juego si quieren que la gente vuelva.

Large menu, with loads if fish/seafood dishes and several steak options. Will also let you order off the bencoolen bar menu if you prefer. Have been here several times, most recently with some friends. Food is very good, with some different/more unusual dishes that are really worth trying. Delicious Spanish style seafood dishes. Relaxed friendly pub atmosphere, ideal if you want a restaurant quality meal, without any of the stuffiness of an upmarket restaurant.

Went to the El Barco restaurant. Had a meal from their menu and I wasnt disappointed. The food was tasty and filling. I returned the following sunday and had their sunday roast. It was delicious :) would recommend for both food and hospitality. The bloke behind the bar with a foreign accent went out his way to make us feel welcome.

We came across El Barco wile driving around the Bude area trying to find a restaurant that was not fully booked. We were made very welcome and the waitress was very friendly and courteous. I ordered a medium/rare steak with some trepidation as my experiences in the past with other restaurants have been less than satisfactory when it comes to steak being cooked to my liking. This was SPOT ON - nicely cooked on the outside and a lovely shade of red in the middle. It was absolutely amazing. My wife enjoyed her meal also (a chicken dish), The starters were excellent and generous without being over filling, so the main could be enjoyed. We went for ice cream as dessert but 3 scoops proved too much for both of us. The co-owner, Lorraine, spent some time chatting with us and made us feel very welcome. The price was definitely VFM. We would recommend this restaurant and will be more than happy to go there again if we are in the area.

The food was amazing, absolutely no complaints there. Service was lacking.. husband had to go over to the bar and ask for another drink as no attention paid to the tables by the waitress. (Not an issue, we have legs!! Just not what we expected from a restaurant). Tables are very close together so expect to be touching shoulders with the couple next to you and hear their conversation!

When holidaying in Cornwall the bush pepper should be a top tier priority your list. There are many things to enjoy on the menu but in my opinion you must always try something new. For example their kangaro was such a unusual but delicious dish. It doesn't have that gamey beefy iron taste to it, so you really can season it however you like. The menu said it was Cajun but I felt it lacked that spicy element. The port and red wine reduction was lovely. And the sweet potato wedges really complimented the kangaroo. My wings were fall apart melt in your mouth. However, it said it was BBQ flavour I think it needed a bit more of a smokey depth to it. The sauce felt a little confused. But still delicious. The people who served us were a delight Jasmine and Sian. Two sweet & Stella servers who make all the correct check backs at the appointed time. They had great banter. They really did look after us. Check backs really mean alot to me as a customer and you can always tell if they are genuine. The portion sizes as you can see are spot on. Just an all round amazing time. The owner must be proud.

This is a must if you are ever in St Ives. We were staying at the Gannet (also lovely) and The Bean was in walking distance. I love vegetarian food but my partner doesn’t and always laughs at the weird dishes I order. He found it by the reviews and was willing to try it although a bit skeptical! Well he was converted and we both absolutely loved it! Amazing, friendly and personal service. It’s small so it feels like intimate fine dining and they can be attentive to all diners. They only do a few dishes but they have clearly perfected them. The flavours were amazing. We will definitely be back when next in the area. Thanks again.
