Outlaw's New Road in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The food was very good - an excellent showcase of high quality local ingredients. As you would expect, the portion sizes are very small for a fine dining experience but we expected them to get somewhat bigger as you go down the menu towards the last couple of dishes. This was not the case. We didn’t leave hungry but we weren’t full. For the price, you would expect to receive somewhat more. The Bluefin Tuna with mint on the 12th of Oct was disappointing on taste. Nice experience but not the sort where you would return without hesitation.

Lovely place! Food was immaculate and freshly caught bass fish was a hilight. Service was lovely too!

A lifetime highlight. Excellence in every respect.

We had an amazing lunch here last November. The food was superb and the staff lovely. The setting was so beautiful overlooking the sea at port Isaac. We would highly recommend and give our experience 5*

From the minute we in, the welcome was so very warm and friendly without any grandeur. The food, I regret I cannot describe my vocabulary has not got the just word of superlative to describe the menu. Taste, presentation, the complete visit was such a pleasure, I would love to come back and do it all over again. Rest me to leave a Comment to the staff. Their sense of humour and rapport with us at the table was at times hilarious but still very professional able to explain the next course in fine detail. We have a special respect for Janni who is a volunteer RNLI launcher. Thank you all for making this a special lunch very special.

Very underwhelming. My wife and I are huge seafood lovers, we thought outlaw new road would be right up our street. However, we left disappointed with the food. Sure the emphasis is on the seafood, but to have 2 thin slices of beetroot, 3 baby cherry tomatoes, half an olive and a teaspoon of squash in 8 courses was measly. Most seafood doesn’t need much with being so delicate in flavour, sadly 3 of the 8 were totally spoilt with having pickled shallots covering them. I’ve never eaten lobster and not been able to taste the juicy sweet meat, until I ate here. You guessed it, covered with shallots. I had to ask the waitress if anymore courses were in fact going to have shallots on as that’s all I could taste in my mouth. The worst course was poached tuna in a herb infused oil. Talk about ruin something, it looked like something out of a tin, and sadly just tasted of herb oil. It could have been anything I was eating, and guess what, covered with some shallots. Also the total lack of carbs/veg meant despite paying £175 each we came out hungry. On the plus, staff were lovely, the room was nice and the view lovely. Would I return, sadly not. I’ve been to many far better Michelin restaurants, that have provided a real experience, more beautiful decorated creations for a lot less. £175 is only £5 less than a 4 course silver service dinner at the Ritz.

Amazing restaurant, we come back every year to Outlaws. The food is fantastic, service is wonderful, and the views from the upstairs dining room are soulful.

Nestled within the picturesque village of Port Isaac, this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you step in, you are greeted by a wonderfully friendly and welcoming team that sets the tone for an exquisite dining experience. The attention to every detail is impeccable, from the simple, but stylish decor to the quality of the food, which is nothing short of exceptional. The ambience is lovely, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. And the view? Simply gorgeous. Overlooking the cliffs and the sea, it adds a magical touch to the entire experience. The visit leaves you with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return soon. And return we will, without a doubt!

Absolutely outstanding ! Food fantastic service excellent. What a menu ! I cannot recommend it enough !

Visited with my wife for our anniversary whilst in Cornwall. Truly amazing evening with wonderful food, top class service and a beautiful setting. Couldn’t fault a thing. Definitely worth a visit for any fish/seafood fans.

Stunning views, tasty food, warm and welcoming staff, would love to come back

A marvelous way to be spoilt, in a lovely comfortable room with atmospheric views on a cloudy drizzly day. The understated but totally efficient service was delightful, especially how each dish was explained, making the anticipation even more sweet. My recommendation of the Taste Menu is: Simply superb....well done all, and my thanks to my family for the experience .

Sublime fish dishes, the lobster and tomato starter was heavenly. Turbot with watercress sauce delicious. Beautiful spot overlooking the port Isaac/gaverne bay.

Was sooo looking forward to this but sadly let down. Had lobster to start and it doesn't say on the menu but this is a lobster salad, so it was cold. Possibly our fault for not asking first... Main was good, Turbot on the bone, but lacked a bit of wow factor. Veggies were just courgettes and salad leaves.... Maybe should have pushed the boat out and had the tasting menu. At those prices I expected more. Sadly will not be coming back. On a more positive note, the staff are great

We had a wonderful lunch of delicious food and wine, made even more special with the amazing views. The front of house staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Would certainly recommend a visit for a memorable experience.

Dinner seafood restaurant. With a disappointing end to the evening. For anyone who likes their seafood,this has to be on your bucket list. But it comes at a price of £175 a head for the tasting menu,which is the only choice. There's a handy car park at the back of the restaurant. As you step through the door,you are warmly greeted and shown upstairs to your table with stunning views. The food as you would expect, is fresh and locally sourced depending on daily supplies. You start with a couple of snacks. Followed by a Crab cider jelly pate served with bread to spread it on. Then,this is going to sound super critical, the next courses although intentionally are cold and raw. The scallop gazpacho and bass tartare were a little underwelming. After those dishes there was the Dover sole and Lobster & tomato salad. By this time we were wondering if they had forgot to put on the gas? Not to worry,there soon arrived a delightful peice of Bass with bread to soak up the Lobster sauce. The final fish dish was a steaming hot Monkfish coated in black pepper which was the star of the show. There was a palate cleanser of strawberry & elderflower granita and a chocolate dessert with cherries & kirsch. If we were to chose, Fish kitchen is the one to go for,it's easier on the pocket and just as good.

Best food in Cornwall. Thank you to the brilliant chefs.

My partner is not a big fish fan due to its often very fishy flavour. There was not a single dish she tasted she did not devour the lot and even try some of mine. I love fish and I would say hands down this is the freshest and most imaginative I have had. The view out onto the bay, friendly staff and food to die for made the experience relaxing and very memorable.

Great service but food was mediocre. Scallop was great, but other was just disappointing, including desserts. Was expecting more flavor and more exciting uses of ingredients to bring the experience to another level. Cocktails were lacking balance as well. We came here to celebrate special occasion but it felt short, also given the higher price end, the experience was disappointing.

The best restaurant and the best team in Cornwall

Oh wow! This restaurant is most likely the best fish restaurant in the world. It’s run by Nathan Outlaw. Unbelievably good restaurant. If you get a table you’re in business…

Excellent food, warm service, and excellent cocktails and wine. The best fish and seafood in Britain

Absolutely insane dinner at Outlaw’s whilst on a break from London. The staff was so relaxed but efficient, each member made us feel so welcomed and chilled but also their knowledge of the food menu and wine was very impressive. Each dish was so delicious, I didn’t want it to end. I would like to take a vat of the mussel parfait home and spread it on bread for the rest of my life. Perfect amount of food, we certainly weren’t left hungry with the number of courses. Standard price for a 2 Michelin star, you definitely get what you pay for. Was surprised to see they don’t include service despite the service being so top notch so was very happy to add on 10% for the amazing staff. Loved to hear that Nathan himself was downstairs in the kitchen cooking our dinner which isn’t something you often get with a resterant of this level. Very happy customers !

Has always been excellent but the move to a single sitting and the tasting menu has raised their game. I’d go as far to say it’s the best fish eating experience in the UK.

This was our third time to a lunch at one of Nathan Outlaws restaurants, along with friends. Every time we have been we have tried completely different dishes (18 now) and we have loved them all. I’d suggest for 4 people to eat 18 dishes and not dislike one of them is an achievement ! Whilst the lunches might be a little expensive, the standard of food and service is excellent and we will certainly be back again soon.

Lovely evening, great food, great service, and great wine.

What a brilliant restaurant Nathan Outlaw has here. Brilliant service from the time we walked in. So welcoming. The spectacular view over the sea is a wonderful setting for the meal to come. My wife had the Mackerel to start. Perfectly cooked with fennel, gherkin and caper salad with smoked pate. I hade the bluefin tuna fishcake with paprika mayonnaise and pickled veg. (See picture). Both incredibly delicious. For mains we had grey mullet and brill respectively. Who could have beloved that fish could be raised to such a level of taste? Fantastic. Thank you to all involved. Made a lunch time in Cornwall very special.

Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon. The food and service were exceptional! We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and we can thank you all enough for a wonderful day and experience. Thank you from the both of us!

Perfectly prepared, inventive dishes with great cocktails and an excellent wine list. Superb staff all around. What a great night.

We were visiting from Chicago and came for a birthday lunch. We had one afternoon in Port Isaac, and this meal made for a perfect day. Everything about it was relaxed and delicious. The servers were so helpful and friendly and accommodated my gluten-free diet with no fuss at all. The view of the sea is stunning. I can't praise it enough and would come back in a heartbeat!

Just come back from a weekend at Nathan’s guest house and restaurants ,fabulously relaxing place .top notch food and wine ,we were made to feel very special,lovely touches everywhere you look , will definitely be going back 🙂👍

Had the taster menu recently. These are my honest thoughts! Firstly, we absolutely loved the whole experience, are very glad we did it, and would recommend it to those that can afford such luxury eating. The welcome, organisation, friendliness & general 'niceness' of the staff is top drawer, making the whole experience really enjoyable. The menu is really exciting, and every course is delicious. We found the amount of food just about perfect over the whole evening, it took about 3 hours which flew by. My only real slight issue with the evening, is that everything is over-priced to a certain degree. Of course, price & value is a very personal thing, we're all different, but while we both loved the evening & have no regret about it at all, being honest - we have had better value for money, and equally good food, at other similar style taster menu meals. So for us, this was a once in a lifetime experience, which I would recommend others to try, if they can afford it.

Today's catch served in tiny portions that encourage you to savour every mouthful, paired with amazing and unusual wines. Fabulous staff, lovely ambience, this place lives up to the hype.

Nice place with a good atmosphere. Service was excellent, attentive but not over the top. We were in a hurry so they brought all our food out really quickly. Disappointingly they had no fish other than cod and chips. The 'fish of the day' was just moules mariniere. I was expecting there would be other fresh fish. The portions are really small so you need to order two meals to make a regular main meal size, but it's not expensive there.

Fantastic food and exemplary service in a stunning location, what more is there to say? Probably the best meal I have ever eaten. Seafood at its best!

The 12 dishes are all small and exquisite. They are all seafood. The dishes are pickled and cooked slowly. There are different cooking methods such as roasting, grilling, freezing, and boiling, but I think the overall taste is too salty. The restaurant is on a hillside facing the sea, with large glass windows and open views. The sunset is beautiful! Plenty of space, you can choose your own seats The service attitude is friendly. There is no service except for serving food. No one pours water or clears the table. The serving pace is slow. There is only one round for dinner. The parking lot is next to the restaurant Overall it was a good dinner

Highly recommended, we will be returning,

A beautiful restaurant with sea views just outside picturesque Port Isaac. The staff were very engaging, not stuffy at all (thank God) and also helpful with directions, I get lost, alot! I was presented with a complimentary dish of fresh pate with bread, I forget which fish but it was delicious. I washed this down with a very refreshing apple and ginger non-alcoholic drink. I wasn't too hungry as my hotel's breakfast was huge, therefore I opted for the lobster risotto starter as my main. The presentation was beautiful. The texture and cooking of the lobster was perfect. The taste, amazing. I could easily taste the freshness of the lobster and all the fresh ingredients. The risotto was also cooked beautifully. I would definitely return for more.

We had an amazing view of the coast and an entire room to ourselves, we could even peak into the kitchen and saw Nathan Outlaw himself. The food was amazing, I highly recommend the raw & cured starter and the dover sole.

Wow. Wow. The views of tintagel. The ESP of staff to greet you outside as you arrive. The menu prepared daily with each fisherman or boat named that caught your catch today. The personalised wine pairing. None of this is as good as the mackerel we ate, the lobster risotto with orange and basil... Or the best main I have had for years... Turbot with mint and hollandaise. Wonderful! The service is intimate and informal and the people who work there are clearly in love with their craft.

An unforgettable seafood culinary experience. My fiance and I dined here for dinner only two days after eating at Outlaw's other Michelin restaurant in Port Isaac (also amazing!) so had a very high bar to surpass. The staff were outstanding from our welcome to the attentive service and knowledge of the dishes. We were also given complimentary champagne as we were celebrating our engagement - a really nice touch. The restaurant has amazing views over the coast so id recommend sitting upstairs and booking an earlier reservation to get a choice of table. The seafood tasting menu was sublime, a true appreciation of quality, locally sourced produce which was completely different to the Fish Kitchen set menu (which was one of our concerns having only dined there a few days earlier!). Special shout outs to the baked brill and grilled turbot dishes - absolutely divine. If you are serious about great seafood then you cannot pass up an opportunity to eat here! 6*s if i could.

Disappointing. To think proximity to an ocean environment would have been a great opportunity to showcase decent seafood tasting dishes- this was not the case. Truly lacklustre dishes. Amiable team but felt like a canteen. Outrageously expensive for what it was. Mediocre. Perplexed by the one star.

Giving 5* as I understand the detriment lower ratings can have on a business. Want to leave some feedback nonetheless, came here over Easter, Food was good but to be honest I wasn’t massively impressed for what you’re paying. I’d say the fish was a bit too salty, bit too buttery- maybe a bit more care into ratios & everything would have been better. Service was ok, and surprising considering the tip option is entirely variable. Would love to see more of a champagne selection (aside from Camel Valley) Negroni was great!

The Michelin guide book described it as "potentially the best fish restaurant in England". It is quite a statement, but after having enjoyed the lunch a la carte menu there, I can only concur. Simple, but absolutely delicious. And the South African wine was amazing as well. Great!

Outlaw is right because it’s highway robbery. Tiny portions of average tasting food at ridiculous prices. Never ever again.

First class! Monkfish was delicious

My husband and I were treated to the tasting menu by a family member. It had been a dream of mine to visit one of Nathan’s restaurants for a while. The experience was nothing short of perfect, the view from the restaurant is simply stunning. We were lucky to have the most popular table, but I honestly don’t think anyone would be disappointed by the view, no matter where you sit. I think it’s natural to feel anxious in a Michelin restaurant if it’s not something you do often, however Anna and Damon couldn’t have made us feel more relaxed. It was great chatting to them both and it felt like they were interested in us as people - it wasn’t a transactional service at all. The food is simply outstanding, I could attempt to comment on every course but I won’t, because it doesn’t need any further explanation. If you’re questioning whether to go here, stop right now and just book a table. It’ll be one of the best things you ever do in your lifetime.

Fabulous experience. Every course was a new taste experience. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

Food was tasty well presented Timing was perfect Staff was very pleasant

Fantastic food . Simply fantastic

What can I say… a faultless experience. Literally perfect - the dishes, the service (from our Capetonian head of house, who knew everything about the dishes and the ingredients), the wine (including a wonderful Sancerre and an amazing Cornish dessert wine), the dramatic view across the bay, the artwork… everything was meticulously considered and yet the atmosphere was relaxed and informal: it was like being welcomed into their home. But the food - oh wow - each dish was delicious and a delicate taste experience - from the cured monkfish and the dover sole to the lobster bisque, the lobster salad and the John Dory and the wonderful raspberry granita and chocolate “bomb” - it was a taste sensation. 100% recommend.

Stunning seafood-based tasting menu along with friendly and attentive service from Damon and the team. The lobster bisque low-key stole the show, though the lobster salad, bass, and chocolate dessert were also amazing! A wonderfully curated dining experience.

A lovely meal, lots of flavour and a lovely wine recommendation too. Highly recommend a trip to Outlaws New Road

Wonderful experience, even better food

exceptional, worth the trip from over 100 miles, thought Rick steins couldn't be bettered for an out and out fish restaurant, but this pushes him no doubt about it..and in the same neck of the woods..do the double you choose

Unbelievably good fish-based tasting menu. Get a window seat if you can - the view over the sea is fantastic. The highlight for me was the sea bass with ricotta dumplings. Never something you'd think to put together and like experiencing an entirely new flavour profile. The chocolate pudding was mind-blowingly good.

We decided to opt for the New Road establishment rather than the central Kitchen one because of the views. Depending on what you’re after the two do offer slightly something different, New Road being a little less rustic in a way. The whole seating was a very relaxed and casual affair. We went for the 7 course taster menu each and didn’t regret it. It is refreshing to have a taster menu that is all seafood focused, and oh boy it was delightful. If you are visiting Cornwall, whether it’s north or south, I highly recommend making a trip out to Port Isaac to try one of the two Outlaw’s restaurants. My only tip is that the parking near the restaurant is small and can fill up very quickly. You’re better off parking at the main car park on the outskirts which is a short 15 minute walk into the Port.

Great location, superb food and service

Set seafood tasting menu celebrating sustainable Cornish produce! Grey and rainy late June lunch but each dish amazed; cured & smoked trout, raw bass, raw scallops, gurnard fish soup with John Dory, mackerel, bass, the most delicious flourless chocolate fondant served with a yoghurt sorbet & cocoa brandy snap 😋 Maître d' and waitresses flawless and great to hear about young Cornish kitchen staff straight out of local college. £95 pp

Fantastic fresh and seasonal fish dishes, great service and beautiful views!

Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere. Fantastic service and very friendly and efficient staff. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would be happy to go back as often as I could.

What's to review, it's owned and run by Nathan Outlaw - of course its going to be brilliant food.

Great restaurant in an amazing location. Absolutely flawless service and food. Wonderful from start to finish.

Fabulous experience. Lovely location and wonderful staff/service!

The most amazing sea / fish food I’ve ever eaten…. I’ve wanted to come here for years and it was better than I could of hoped

Delightful meal. Very delicate. Unique. Everything we hoped it would be.

Great experience. Staff were fantastic and the food and views were excellent.

Booked in advance. Set taster menu with local lobster and first bass of the season. Food was delicious and the knowledgeable waitress chosse my wines, which were lovely. We both thoroughly enjoyed are meal and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely out of this world! Amazing food, showcasing the best of Cornish Seafood and produce, expertly cooked. Lovely views, amazing and really welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

Our second time to NONR as part of the voucher scheme for Save Our Breakwater campaign. The service and food was out of this world. (Our first trip 5 years ago is the best meal I’ve ever had!!) and this was just as amazing. The view, wine and friendly staff are a class apart. Can’t wait for the guest house to open to sample yet more amazing food and wine list!!

Wonder dinning experience, tiny portions of amazingly tasty fish cooked to perfection. Set menu same for everyone. Even though tiny portions I was full by dessert and couldn't finish it.

Five stars without doubt. This was my first Michelin star restaurant experience and it didn't disappoint. Not only was the food fantastic, but it was an incredibly nice atmosphere, with fantastic views, and excellent service. One more note on the food - after each course we were certain that the next course wouldn't beat it for taste, but each dish got better and better. 🥇

Lovely food , excellent service ,friendly and helpful staff,. Enjoy a wonderful view from the upstairs window seats whilst eating a delicious lunch.

Birthday treat for me. Beautiful setting, stunning views. Portions small but perfectly formed - still daydream about the incredible Lobster Salad. Fantastic service and perfect food - resonably priced too considering the high standards.

Great place to go for a special meal or even just because! Delicious perfectly cooked fish, as you’d expect, the buttery prawn sauce being my personal highlight and the ricotta dumplings are to die for

Once again a fabulous meal and a wonderful surprise for my husband's birthday.

From the minute you walk in. Pure perfection food service value for money. We can only dream about serving food on a plate! Perfect experience Thank you ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came here for lunch and it was outstanding. The service was on the next level and we were impressed by the menu (which changes daily depending on what the fisherman has caught). The cured fish in particular is really impressive. If you know in advance you are going to be in the area, this place is really worth booking!

Excellent food, just a little rushed with the time limit on the table.

Fantastic food and great staff in a spectacular location

Had a lunch tasting menu. Great service, nice decor, and well lit. Wished the menu had more than just fish, as in other seafood. Would visit again.

Beautiful food, experience, service and views - couldn’t fault it for a special meal.

Balance of innovative cuisine with fabulous flavours. I can't recommend highly enough. If you love seafood, try it

Wow fantastic. An experience we'll never forget and will definitely being coming back over and over again. Service was superb, being able to watch the kitchen staff at work, the information about the food and wine was faultless and the food was out out of this world. Thank you.

Nathan Outlaw has absolutely got this right. We haven't stopped talking about the experience since we finished lunch - hours ago. It's not cheap but worth every penny...

Lovely experience - the staff is amazing, I'm gluten free and they made every meal on the menu gf for me. The food was excellent and I especially enjoyed the view of the sea.

Amazing place. The staff is great and the food is excellent.

We were taken there as a surprise treat by our three 'children's. And what a treat. It was sublime. Admittedly one of them suggested after the first course that we might need a bowl of cereal when we got home, but the courses got slightly larger and more delicious as we progressed through the meal (and the first course was superb). The Uruguayan red dessert wine polished off a wonderful evening.

Fantastic service, you can really see there’s a relaxed control to all sides of the restaurant. The food was a really beautiful experience and it all tied nicely together. Becky our server was wonderful and spoke very highly of her work which is nice to hear it’s not just good food but a good place to work. Thankyou very much to the whole team it was quite an emotional experience for us as we just love food and don’t do this sort of thing often 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🥳

This was my second visit ot Outlaw's New Road and once again the food was absolutely amazing. Worth every penny

Amazing experience topped off the the man himself in the kitchen, highly recommend

Outstanding food and service whilst looking at one of the best views going.

Delicious food in a beautiful and relaxed setting. The restaurant has lovely views over the water , and it’s a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything was wonderfully presented , and was so fresh and tasty. The wine list had some excellent local and unusual options. It was well worth the visit.

Excllent as always. Food is beautifully presented and doesn't disappoint. Service is relaxed and professional. Always worth a visit

Superb food and excellent ambiance.

Had an exceptional dinner here, everything was super fresh and exquisite. The restaurant overlooks the sea and has a calming and beautiful view. Highly recommended

Delicious tasting menu, John Dory was exceptional and service was good

Fantastic food, fantastic service and the recommended wine worked so well with the menu. Well done everyone.

Had an amazing dining experience at Nathan's with lovely staff taking care of us. Exquisitely prepared food a real treat and the set menu gets you into things you would not normally consider. Cannot recommended it highly enough

A memorable experience from start to finish! Every mouthful packed with flavour. Service excellent! We will be back.
