We enjoyed a memorable and delicious meal at Roovrays. The service was first class. The restaurant was fully booked and we saw many disappointed people turned away. My advice is to book ahead and look forward to your evening. You will not be disappointed.

We came in and were welcomed like old friends, a very unpretentious place. We had the muscles and monkfish and both were excellent. The only thing that was missing was an espresso martini to finish (I was told they were going to be doing them soon!)

Enjoyed a lovely meal on our first night in Mevagissey. Our hostess was friendly and we had a lovely meal. Didn't see the chef but he should be congratulated on his delicious food. My Husband had monkfish which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had a lovely Caesar Salad, possibly the nicest I have ever had. We finished with Coffee cake served with coffee sauce and clotted cream, it was gorgeous. Thoroughly recommend.

We booked a table for a family meal for the afternoon after we had read the great reviews. We were not disappointed. We were greeted by an awesome lady (I didnt catch her name) who was super friendly and made us feel very welcoming. She also had good banter and we all enjoyed a good laugh. The food was amazing!!! between us we had steak, cod burger, mussels, jerk chicken and cajun chicken burger and all were delicious the plates went back empty. They also allowed us to bring a birthday cake which was greatly appreciated !!! Will defo return on our next trip to mevagissey !!! Jan x

This restaurant has been recently redecorated and was bright and welcoming on a wet day. Very welcoming owner. The hake with wild mushrooms was lovely. I don’t usually eat pudding but couldn’t resist the coffee cake with clotted cream.

This is our first visit to Mevagissey and were recommended this restaurant by a family member. We booked before we left home and pleased that we did. I would recommend other travellers consider doing the same so not to be disappointed.There is a good selection of specials to supplement the standard menu. These are very popular and even though we had a table at 7.45 some of them were sold out. So earlier time slot means greater choice.Having said that we were delighted with our choices - Rattler Mussels and Scallops as starters followed by Bouillabaisse and Jerk Chicken. A nice Sauvignon Blanc was the perfect accompaniment. Good covid protocols and friendly staff. Would certainly eat here again.

We eat here every time we come to Mevagissey (which is often) - the last time being in October just before the second lockdown. Every time we are greeted with a big smile (even behind the mask!) and great service. The food is amazing every single time and menus and specials change regularly so you can always try something different. No visit to Mevagissey is complete without a visit to Roovrays!

Went here while on holiday in Mevagissey We walked in and were welcomed with a smile . Then a joke was made about my husband not needing to move his hair out of the way for his temperature check ( my husband is bald ) which my son had had to do . We all laughed as we love a bit of banter but the joke on my husband didn’t stop there ! We sat at the table and were brought the menus ,where the lady continued to laugh at my husband every time she looked at him ,she then told him she found him funny but he’d not said a word . This continued while she took our order and after a while it became quite embarrassing. On to the food ,myself and husband ordered the fish chowder which was really disappointing,it had some white fish with skin on some leeks and lots of cream . There was no smoked pancetta no potato no prawns no herbs no sweet corn . I definitely make a better one myself . The chicken my son had was ok the chips were good but nothing to write home about . My daughter had a risotto which wasn’t the best . All in all I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. The are some really lovely restaurants in Mevagissey this isn’t one of them .

We ( Mal and Janet ) have just returned from a great week in Mevagissey. We ate in 4 of the restaurants there but by far our favourite was Roovrays. The food is fantastic and the hosts Elisha ( may have mispealt this ) and Thierry were really friendly too. The restaurant had a good ambiance without which some restaurants can fall down but not this one. We would definitely have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to future visitors of Mevagissey.

This is the first review I have ever written. It may be the last. I have had the privilege of spending my life in restaurants, both as a guest and as a worker. These are challenging times for both. Rooveys is an ode to the wonderful British restaurants of a bygone age. Family run, hardworking and honest, the food and reception were the absolute highlight of this trip around Cornwall. Having spent far too much time in London I had gotten used to overly contrived menus and the airs and graces that are so forgettable in most venues. I would highly reccomend Rooveys to anyone willing to challenge their perceptions of what a restaurant should be, take advice and take advantage of amazing local specials cooked with love and passion by good people, and to challenge modern perceptions of hospitality. Amazing meal, amazing people, amazing evening.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Mevagissy. Run by a husband and wife team who have combined charm with excellent food/drink, this establishment got the thumbs up from everyone.Fantastic fish is, in Mevagissey, a bit of ‘a given’ – but excellent starters, deserts and a good, reasonably priced house wine, are harder to find. Roovrays scores on all fronts. Highly recommended.

Visited at the weekend for dinner. Food was o-so but they were having trouble with their oven so there was a bit of a delay but we weren’t too bothered as we were enjoying our wine and chatting to the owners. Only real criticism is the smoked fish platter and my pasta were both on the small side for the price- especially as the fish platter was to share- and the garlic bread looked like the pre diced frozen stuff rather than homemade- I wouldn’t have ordered it if I’d known. I don’t t think we’ll be back as £56 was a lot for one starter to share, one starter of mussels as a main, a small portion of pasta ( it was the same size as my husbands starter of mussels so I should have just ordered them too and saved money) and shop bought garlic bread.

We had a nice meal but I was a little disappointed, that may have been our choice of meal. I had the special of monk fish wrapped in Parma ham and my husband had the fish chowder. They were good but lacked seasoning. The service was very good and the attention to the current COVID issue was excellent. Worth a try, if you can get booked.

We have just enjoyed our second wonderful meal at Roovrays in Mevagissey. We first visited at the start of our holiday on 11August. Never been there before but we had booked it in advance as the menu sounded nice and we wanted to guarantee finding somewhere to eat when we visited the harbour. The owners/hosts were so friendly and welcoming despite having to adhere to the COVID procedures and restrictions. The food was delivered to us quickly and was prepared to perfection. My wife's vegetarian selection of a doubled up starter was just right. My son opted for the evening's special of crab claws. Again, prepared perfectly and beautifully cooked and presented. I had the ribs which were delicious and simply fell off the bone. Wonderful. After we left we decided we needed to eat there again so I ran back to book again. They were, not surprisingly, fully booked till this evening, Saturday 15th. As it would be the last evening of our holiday in Cornwall, it would end this lovely holiday perfectly. If anything, this evening's meal was even more enjoyable. The hosts treated us like returning friends and were laughing, chatting and joking with us. It was their son's birthday and he is the chef and had to work on his birthday for the first time. Well, he did a superb job again. My wife had the same dish again, not because there wasn't anything else for vegetarians but because she had enjoyed it so much. My son and I both went for the kebab of monkfish, king prawn and scallops with saffron sauce and rice. Absolutely delightful, the saffron sauce was delicate and delicious and the scallops were cooked to perfection. All of it was.This is a true gem of a restaurant in Mevagissey. Wonderful food. Wonderful hosts. Wonderful chef. Wonderful menu. Wonderful value for money. Wonderful location. My only suggestion would be to get some no or low alcohol beers or lagers for the drivers. I know some can be a bit yucky but Beck's Blue is a really good one. (In my opinion). Thank you for two lovely, enjoyable evening's

Booked a table for 4 friends, we had Steak, Carbonara and Ribs.. all of which were just okay. Carbonara was not very tasty but had lots of bacon, ribs were tough and steak was a bit bland and required sauce for taste. My dad has takeout Caribbean chicken which tasted just like lime and my moms takeout Beef Bourguignon was tasty. Portions were a good size, atmosphere was nice and service was good but it feels like just mediocre food in a atmospheric setting. The picture on the website shows homemade golden brown chips.. they were bog standard theme park chips - very disappointing.

We had hoped to eat at Roovrays on previous visits but had not managed to and so this year we pre-booked a table before our visit.The food was very good, poached egg and salmon for her and goats cheese for me as starters, followed by both of us having the symphony of fish. The vegetables were cooked as we like them, still crisp and not at all mushy.The restaurant is not large but was busy and service was very friendly, and although the mains were a little slow we were advised of this and so it was not a problem. Especially as this gave us more time to make room for it as we both were sufficiently full to make us not opt for a pudding, although the choices were very enticing.The atmosphere in the restaurant was good.Overall a very pleasant evening.

My husband and I had an anniversary meal here, having booked online based on previous Trip Advisor reviews, and were delighted with our decision. We both majored on the seafood options, which were all as delicious as you would expect in Cornwall, and my husband also had lamb shanks, which melted in the mouth. The atmosphere and service were friendly and could not be faulted. Definitely the restaurant of choice in Mevagissey.

My wife and I have just had dinner at Roovrays tonight and we have enjoyed every last bit of it! The moment we stepped into the restaurant we were greeted with a war⁹in pancetta and the seafood pasta. Again these were a taste sensation delivering great texture and taste. We couldn't help but order dessert so we got the creme brulee and the chocolate mousse cake. My god these were good! The mousse cake was especially good with the passionfruit sauce and icecream on top! Along with the great wine selection the two hosts Alycia and Leyanda were a perfect accompaniment to the food! There humor and friendliness made us wish we were staying in Mevagissey for another night so we could¹ go back there and experience it all again! Thank you both once more for being delightful hosts!

So glad we booked an evening meal here, the best if our holiday. The starter scallops were huge and seafood platter starter really flavoursome. We both followed with monkfish special, happy to mix up the menu so I could have salad with mine rather than recommended sautéed potatoes and vegetables with garlic butter which my husband equally enjoyed. We managed to stretch to a dessertand so glad we did, the carrot cake special was the best I have ever tasted. Staff super friendly and attentive, will definitely return on our next trip to Cornwall, wherever we base this restaurant is worth a drive.

We visited this restaurant for our wedding anniversary, something which the staff made sure to congratulate us on during the evening, which was a nice touch to show that they had remembered from the booking. Staff were very friendly and approachable and the food was extremely good. Atmosphere was relaxed and informal. We will certainly be eating here again when we return

Serving fresh quality product, service & food selection was amazing. Was ideal as we were only a couple of houses away. Wine selection was lovely, and they don’t over book, so no pressure for table turning. A lovely chilled holiday night with family. Highly recommended

What a wonderful find, a gorgeous little place full of freindly ambience, great service and wonderful food. The well constructed menu had something for everyone in our party. Lovely all round and very reasonably priced.

This restaurant has a great location in the centre of Mevagissey, the staff are very welcoming and attentive. The menu has a good selection of dishes my only complaint was that the mussel starters and the fish main dishes were in the same cream sauce, this took away the fresh flavor of the fish. But definitely worth a visit.

One of our local restaurants, we've been to several times. Always a great meal and tonight was our good friends birthday. The whole night was exceptional, the food beautiful and the staff amazing again. Can't wait to go back. Fun, friendly and we'll worth a visit.

Have visited multiple times over the last few years. (Scared wasp lady) Last year we visited Looe just to come to this place. The owner is fantastic and always makes you feel welcome. One holiday we visited everyday for the crepes and affogato (served the Japanese way). I’ve just seen that this place has now closed and we’re deeply saddened. I hope the owner is well and is doing bigger and better things. Thankyou for the crepes and coffee ❤️.

I used to like going here for Sunday Lunch, but on my last visit i felt that the place had gone downhill. I don't know whether there has been a change in management, but the quality of the food did not reach the standard it once was. It was noticeable too that the were far fewer people there! Problem is that once people move on, it's hard to get them back! We have now moved on to the much superior Golf Club at Holsworthy, where the food is excellent and this is reflected in the amount of people that go there! So come on Bude, it's time to get back on track but as for now, three stars are generous!

Had seen the restaurant advertised as 3 AA rosette but have since found out that is under review due to change of chef. Restaurant was dimly lit with nearby table resorting to using torch on his phone to read menu. Had the scallops which were average and small . Pork was okay as main course but not a large portion. Cheeseboard was average. Was expecting more from what was a listed restaurant.
