Juliet's Garden in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My partner and I attended the fabulous wine and food pairing event last night. Thank you to the lovely staff who were super friendly and generous with the wine pouring! The knowledge of Iain who ran the wine tasting was fantastic. Pitched to cover the range of the attendees prior knowledge/experience in wines - but ultimately the priority was that you just had fun and enjoyed some fantastic food and wine. Would be back in a heart beat and hugely recommend this to any visitor or islander!! My only suggestion would be smaller portions of food - was so much! Tasty but a bit overwhelming.

I visited Juliet's in 2022 and it was by far my favourite place on the island, for food, service and views. However, this year 2024, I think it has gone down hill. Service was poor, constantly getting up to ask for things that never came. Ordered the toasties which is my go to for Juliet's and although it was tasty, the price for what it was, was expensive and the menu seems to be smaller, only offering a few toastie fillings. My family had the cream tea, which they said was the worst they have had, dry and small. I would visit again because I love the views and the birds, but I hope next time the menu is improved and service is better.

On a day trip to The island and after looking round St Mary's we went for a walk along the beach and then up the hill to this pub/Restaurant. It has fantastic views,excellent food which came quickly.and very pleasant staff. Highly recommend the trek up there.

On a sunny day, look for the flagpole and follow the coast path to this lovely restaurant. The servings are generous, the crabmeat is some of the freshest I’ve had anywhere. Dog friendly.

I thought I was waiting a little while for my scone to come out to me but when it did it was still warm from the oven definitely worth a little wait

Not what it used to be. Overpriced for mediocre food. The view is as always excellent so will only now go for a drink.

Beautiful place, you have to go there when you are on St. Mary's

The overpriced food might’ve been better if it weren’t for the rats…. Something clearly needs to be done about the rats by the northernmost benches near the path.

Best crab sandwich I've ever had. Brimming full of lovely chunks of crab, very generous. Wonderful gardens with stunning views. Staff need to be trained to clean tables between customers rather than just sweep crumbs onto the floor as we saw them doing when we visited. Nevertheless, I'll be back!

Exceptional service. Lovely food. Superb views of Hugh Town Harbour and Samson.

Love this amazing place and gorgeous views lovely staff and food is delicious, we visit everytime we visit the island

Great food, great service, best in the Scillys. Had a great evening with very friendly staff.

Obligatory cream tea after days walk

Great food with a great view - staff so helpful and professional - highly recommend

We are lucky to have come to ‘Scilly’ over the years and remember Juliet’s Garden soon after it opened, and always come here, because it is simply fabulous. Food and service are excellent and of course the views are a natural delight, daytime or evening. Many of the staff are young, (I’m very old!), but all (whatever age!) are pleasant and helpful. It is also so useful having the ‘shop’ selling available fresh grown produce and bulbs. All in all just a wonderful experience to carry and remember.. until the next time. Cheers!

We had a(nother) fabulous evening at Juliet's this week. The food was fantastic, the views are to die for and the mostly-very-young staff did a BRILLIANT job, remaining helpful, friendly and professional despite receiving awful abuse from another table of rude, over-entitled diners to whom I can only say: shame on you. We did have to wait a little while for our meal, but when you're sitting in the evening sunshine, a drink in hand, in great company, with a stunning view of sea, sky, boats and harbour...why on earth would anyone mind?! A member of staff had been unexpectedly called away to a family emergency, but despite this, the rest of the team did a great job. The food was WELL worth waiting for and communication from staff was excellent. The signature fish stew is delicious and excellent veggie options too. 10/10. Bravo! We will of course be back as soon as possible. 🙂

Terrible experience- had to wait nearly 2 hours. Staff badly trained. Had to wait an hour before the order was taken. Was told they were a chef down. Should have told us it would be 1.5 hrs. Others around us had the same delays. Offered free wine- and a discount. Would have preferred to have been told the length of delays and gone elsewhere. Awful experience- never going back. The owners are responsible and need to sort out decent management. Food was distinctly average.

Glorious weather too for the end of March 23 update July 24 great service again and lovely weather for outdoor lunch with a lovely view

Wonderful little cafe, lovely views even on a rainy day. We only had the toasties, but they were delicious

We have been going to Juliet's for years but we were quite disappointed on this occasion. It wasn't particularly busy but we had to wait half an hour for a cup of coffee and a toasted teacake.

I had the pleasure of eating at Juliets Garden last night (28/6/24). From the first moment I stepped through the door the customer service was good. When I was shown to my table as a lone traveller, a magical moment happened. I had been given the best table in the room, with stunning views. This is the first time this has happened during my 8 years traveling solo. The team at Juliets Garden gave me the same amazing service as the couples and families in the restaurant . I had the asparagus with poached egg with grapefruit hollandaise, the asparagus had the right amount of crunch and the flavours worked well together. For the main I had the lobster, my fave seafood which was a good portion and was delish. To the team at Juliets Garden, thank you for shaking up the rule book and prioritising a solo traveller, as the saying goes nobody puts baby in the corner'

Great place Great value and outstanding land scape

Great place for a lunch stop off on a walk. Friendly team, good service.

Beautiful place, wonderful views and food too. Highly recommend

Great place to visit on my last day before I got the boat back to Penzance - had a pleasant lunch - sadly a bit too chilly to sit out side for any length of time - but found a window with a good view over the harbour and boats - and was able to buy something to take with me for the boat journey - had plenty to eat and drink to sustain me for the rest of the day

The view & food was good . Service was very slow considering the restaurant wasn’t full. Ian the wine sommelier was knowledgeable & helpful.

Lovely place to stop for a drink or food, with great views of Hugh town harbour, town beach, Samson and Tresco. Indoor and outdoor seating

Walked round the entire island to get here. Got in in time for lunch to be told no longer serving. In fairness chap saved the day with complimentary drinks and nibbles. Would have liked food!

Great lunch stop on a lovely afternoon in the IOS. Highly recommend 👍

Very disappointed with our evening meal, waiter informed us there was no fish of the day as the chef was not happy with the look of it? Starters terrible £9 for 4 x limp warm asparagus with balsamic glaze overkill and £24 seafood sorry amend Prawn! linguine as barely no other fish involved again Luke warm.

BRILLIANT stop after the coastal path Had to share our food with the resident thrush and a small flock of sparrows. They will take crumbs directly off your palm.........marvelous!!! Food was pretty good too!!

Stunning views but the scone and fruit cake left a lot to be desired. Scone was miniscule and rock hard and fruit cake was just on the dry side.Two cakes and 2 brews came to 25 quid. I left feeling ripped off. Style over substance.

Great on a sunny day, we got there early, later people were turned away, staff shortages and supply problems, the latter not being uncommon on the island.

Has to be one of the best views in the UK at Juliet's Garden. They sell lovely food and good beer too!

We’ve been here for years but a really disappointing lunch today, dry bread, un inspiring salads, and just generally a bit underwhelming. Especially with the price. Shame

Treating people badly! Food not that good

Lovely place, friendly staff and beautiful view. Got very busy on a Thursday night at the beginning of the season, so I recommend you book ahead.

Stunning views and excellent service.

A perfectly fine and orderly cafe on the lovely Isles of Scilly, with a phenomenal view.

Delicious crab sandwich and gin, beautiful view and delightful staff!

Very nice place to eat. Light with spectacular views. Wide ranging menu & specials. Decent wine list.

Great food with great views and the service just about matches both

Wet day when we visited but a warm and friendly greetings from the local staff. Views fantastic, plenty seating in and outside. Comprehensive menu plus cakes etc. Definitely worth a visit, just a short walk along the coastline or road from harbour area.

Had a lovely lunch here staff were friendly and the view from the outside seating area was very good

Decent food. Not restaurant quality but good enough for a café. Great range of food too, spoilt for choice! Service was enthusiastic and pleasant and the place is just lovely. Great views all round and an incredible location. Recommended and would come back!

Lovely ice cream in a picturesque location

Food is so expensive. Won’t be visiting again. Meals used to be so good and reasonable but daytime and evening meal prices are just taking the michael. How families afford these extortionate prices, i do not know. We arn’t first time visitors either, we have been coming to these lovely islands for 40 yrs.

Charlotte looked after us very well. Very busy but food came amazingly quickly. Fab setting

The service was truly appalling. We never got to place an order. Walked out after four requests.

Always a lovely place with great food. However this year size of portions were reduced which is a shame. Apart fro. That well worth visiting

I was recommended this restaurant by a kind taxi driver. I had trouble finding it at first, but after some looking, I found it and I was surprised at the location & how busy it was. The service is fantastic. The staff are quick and are always taking orders. Food comes out quite quick. I tried the crab light meal. It was my first time trying crab and it was a nice taste. I enjoyed the freshness of the whole meal. Definitely a must visit if you're on St Mary's.

Stunning location and friendly, helpful staff. Cakes, coffee and drinks very good.

Great views, tasty food and friendly staff. First stop in our scilly cart tour.

Veel keuze (ook vega!), prachtige locatie/uitzicht, eerlijke prijzen en heerlijke toetjes! Veel restaurants in Engeland zijn ons qua prijs-kwaliteit wat tegen gevallen afgelopen weken, maar dit is een topper! Geschikt voor families, kinderstoelen aanwezig.

Chocolate ice cream was outstanding. The tea was also very well made. Lovely atmosphere with great views. Dog friendly with water bowl.

Lovely place for a garden meal when the weather is nice but keep an eye on the sparrows.

Top Destination with a great view and good food. Very friendly and helpful staff! Thanks

wonderful view. good food and llovely friendly people.

Friendly staff, delicious food and stunning views

Excellent food, lots of choice. Great views and atmosphere.

Great food, great views and dog friendly too.

Food was standard at best. Wouldn’t eat here again. But the views are five star.

Great place to visit for a spot of lunch if you're on St. Mary's with great views across the harbour

Tonight's meal was due to be the last dinner out for our family holiday. We had saved the venue till our last evening out and were expecting special food, especially considering the prices. The first issue was an aubergine burger priced at over £16. When it came it was literally a slice of aubergine fried with crumbs, served with ordinary fries and a small salad. We did return this and the replacement, which was an alternative dish was acceptable. We also ordered a red Thai Seafood curry. As I am gluten free I was offered fries rather than the couscous ( couscous?) When it arrived it actually looked like a tomato soup with Seafood. I asked to send it back too but my family were finding the whole situation embarrassing, so I kept it and was disappointed as I knew I would be from the first look of it. It tasted like tinned soup and I was charged £23.50 for this pitiful dish. (I'm ashamed to say I payed for it ,as my family were becoming stressed with the situation.) These prices may seem reasonable to some people, but for us it was expensive and supposed to be a highlight meal for our holiday. I am looking for a helpful response from Juliet.

Excellent service, good food, generous portions. Nice walk along the coast to get to the restaurant

Always a pleasure to dine here. Great food with thoughtful service. A bit of a walk from Hugh Town but well worth it.

Always a friendly welcome at this 'must visit' tea rooms on the hill overlooking Porthloo beach and the bay. Nice range of food, sweet and savoury, and hot drinks as well as wine, gin, beer etc. Worth the walk up the short steep hill!

Lovely setting, and amazing food - thank you!

Always love Juliet's. Great food, great service, best views.

Lovely location and scones were very tasty. Shame about the service level though as our waiter did not chase up our drinks order for us after 30 minutes of waiting even after I asked her to. Was told they had a backlog for drinks even though when I went into the bar they were surprised about my dissatisfaction as they were not busy. Real shame

Food and views are both magnificent

Fine place with excellent views over the bay.

I came here for an early lunch and was not disappointed. All staff members were friendly and attentive. A varied menu from a simple sandwich to a seafood platter were available. Prices were reasonable inline with the rest of the island. Most importantly the food tasted fantastic and was presented well. If you've the weather to enjoy it there's a fantastic view of the harbour to boot. Dogs welcomed.

Delightful cafe and restaurant with an extensive menu including several local specialities. The Cornish brie and caramelised onion quiche is to die for! Well worth making the short trek from Hugh Town. Friendly and efficient service helps all go towards making this a great destination!

Beautiful food with a beautiful view

One of a few on islands to recommend

Fabulous location, food, drinks and service. Can’t recommend highly enough for all aspects.

Lovely location shame about the food. Thai fish curry more like a soup, the fish and prawns were ok but the curry was definitely not anything like a Thai . Not impressed

Lovely food, perfect views and friendly staff

Ordered the Salt & Pepper squid - very generous portions and really tasty. Efficient and friendly service during a very busy period with the IOS WPGC 2023.

Friendly crew serving tasty food on a place with great views. What else do you need..

Really enjoyed our lunch there.

Very slow service. and expensive for what you get.

Had a small bite after our walk. Juliet’s Garden was very busy but staff and also Juliet herself tried their hardest to attend to every need. Amazing views and great food - thanks for having us

Best cafe on St Mary's Delicious crab sandwiches Perfect coffee and yummy brownies

Big, big, larger than big, thank you for the lovely short but very enjoyable stops off at this great place. The walk from where we were staying "Aldersyde" in St. Mary's was past three beautiful beaches where the path was bristling with gorgeous flowers, plants, birdlife and sea views not to be missed. Once we got there we put in our standard order of two glasses of Champagne accompanied by one Jumbleberry Sundae for myself as my wife favours cheese. All of the staff were attentive, friendly, quick and very smiley. We came here on a recommendation and we in turn reccomended the place to other people, one of whom took our advice and pushed the sales of said Champagne up. The seating outside was plentiful but on all our visits we opted for a table indoors with beautiful views. On our weeks holiday we came here four times and it would have been more apart from being restricted by trips to the other islands. So big (again, I know) thank you to everyone for making our visits so wonderful.

Found on a coastal walk, popped in for a coffee. Excellent views and staff. Went back at the end of the walk to find superb food. Returned before the end of our stay for a hearties lunch. Customer service was excellent and food top notch. Will return next year!!

We had a nice lunch and the views are beautiful. Large seating area inside also in the garden which is lovely. A bar and conservatory too. You can even buy a variety of bulbs to plant which I bought 3 bags of them for my garden.

Nice place good service . Best views over St. marys.

The food was really good as it has always been and the view is magnificent. A must visit venue to eat.

Fabulous views and food was good. Friendly staff

Super views over lunch. Friendly attentive staff. Good lunch menu. Great desserts. There is parking just opposite the entrance. Check as currently lunch only.

Really superb setting. Great choices for lunch. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff

We found it to be a great place to visit for a lovely lunch. Excellent location overlooking the harbour. It was very busy when we arrived but staff were pleasant, friendly and efficient. Food was plentiful and very enjoyable. Easy to recommend you pay it a visit.

Brilliant again, can't wait for next year.

Fantastic food. Good service. Amazing views. Portions generous and well presented. The young staff were polite and organised. Lovely walk from the port to Juliet's Garden. Will return

Excellent service, crab salad was minute for the price. Cheese chips delicious 😋 Fantastic views. Would I go back, Absolutely

Stunning location. Would have got 4 stars, if portions of food are addressed. Pretty mean for what we paid for.

2021: Always a nice meal, nice ambiance and nice friendly staff. 2022: Perfect location and reasonable food that is what the 3 stars is based upon, however going downhill IMO. Poor service, staff either too rushed off their feet or do not care and the state of the toilets is a disgrace, it doesn't take much to use some bleach twice a day...

Not what it was. Edit: even worse. Staffed by children supervised by a person that seems to be permanently hung over (or maybe lobotomised)
