Tapenades in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We read the reviews and decided to arrange for a takeaway to be delivered. We were 5 miles from Liskeard but there was no extra charge for delivery. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, even though it was a takeaway. Because there was a slight delay we were called to advise what time the delivery would be made. Would recommend this service for a fine dining experience.

We used Tapanades for a family funeral wake The service from Sue and Mike was fantastic and professional right from the start,they done a buffet meal for 100 people and the food was 100% excellent as was the service,thank you for making a emotional day bearable.

Thank you and the team for the splendid meal yesterday for my brother's golden. It was amazing and enjoyed and by all. Kindest regards Mark (elder brother)

First class takeaway meal we had this evening for our sons 40th birthday meal. Absolutely fantastic thank you will definitely be back

I have had the pleasure of numerous dining experiences with Tapenades over many years. Unlike so many restaurants, standards have never been allowed to slip - even when having to adapt the business due to the covid pandemic, well done! The local community rightly continue to support this jewel in our midst.

The home delivery from Tapenades is just fabulous! Food is stunningly good and is delivered piping hot, the menu is wonderful and we always enjoy it enormously

Loved the Venison with red wine and chocolate sauce, delicious

Can't fault any aspect of our meals. We booked a delivery slot about a week ago, and the night before, advised them of our choices . All our meals were delicious, generous portions and delivered right on time, highly recommended!!

Thoroughly enjoyed another meal from Tapenades. It was delivered on time, ready to eat and we all agreed that it was delicious! Loved the starters, then the sea bass with paella, the duck, the pork, mint choc cheesecake, creme brulee … all FABULOUS! Thank you.

Mike & Sue you provided a wonderful buffet spread for mum’s funeral. The quality of food was spot on and most valuably was the wonderful personal touch you provided - yet again!!

This was the second time we had indulged ourselves in the takeaway service from Tapenades, the first being my husbands birthday in December and of course Valentines Day. Yes, its lovely to go out for a meal but this really is the next best thing, quality and value for money are certainly not compromised and the food, simply gorgeous. If you have never enjoyed the fayre at Tapenades either eating in or the takeaway, then you really are missing out on a gastronomic treat. Thank you Mike & Sue, we are already looking forward to our next meal.

Wow wow wow! Had a takeaway yesterday, lamb shank with steamed vegetables, absolutely gorgeous meal as I would expect from such a great restaurant, food 10/10, highly recommend tapenades if you want quality and a touch of fine dining. Well done tapenades, we will be back.

We had a dinner party last evening for four people and decided we would enjoy the delicious food of this restaurant. We were not disappointed. Gorgeous food, tip top dinner party standard cuisine. Our guests were just so impressed and they too can't wait to order, Thankyou !

For being a real "foody couple, we appreciate good food and Tapenades doesn't disappoint. Whilst its gastro dining to your doorstep, everything is piping hot on arrival, flavoursome and good sized portions. What a great experience to have quality cooked food in the comfort of our home. This is our go to place when family and friends come to stay.

Four of us had three courses delivered to our holiday residence. Great choice, great ingredients and well cooked. Arrived hot and ready to eat. Gourmet standard.

Great veggie options. No skimping on quality ingredients. Delivered on time and pipping hot. Worth moving to Liskaerd for

Absolutely, hands down, the best food I've ever had delivered.

On the last day of our holiday in Cornwall we decided to order a takeaway from Tapenades and we were so glad we did. Mark was incredibly polite on the phone when taking our order, it arrived on time and still piping hot. Between my family we ordered 3 different main dishes and deserts and all tasted amazing, so much so I actually phoned up after to compliment the chef. If we were staying longer we would definitely be ordering again. If you’d like a high quality meal at a very reasonable price you will not be disappointed, this restaurant deserves to do well.

Fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough. Delicious and appetising food delivered hot and on time right into our holiday cottage kitchen. The restaurant owners were friendly and helpful. Scallops , monkfish, lamb, sea bass and other dishes all cooked to perfection. A wonderful treat while on holiday. Thanks 😊

Thermistor,filo mushroom, monkfishx2 and chocolate pudding x2 arrived spot on time all hot straight to table. This isn't takeaway food, this is gourmet food delivered to your door, good sized portion at an excellent price.

We had 2 courses delivered to our holiday accommodation. All meals were outstanding and there was plenty to eat. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Tapenades.

We had a 3 course meal for 4 delivered to our holiday accommodation. We couldn’t fault the food, it was absolutely outstanding. What a treat, thank you Tapenades! We’ll be back :))

Fantastic! I cannot recommend the food and service enough! We ordered from the online menu and the food was delivered at an agreed time to our holiday lodge. The food was hot upon arrival and they even managed to maintain the presentation in the serving pots which we could put straight on our plates which we had kept warm in the oven. The food was absolutely delicious, home cooked with lovely flavours. This was by far the best meal we have had all holiday - fine dining and delivered to your doorstep. I would thoroughly recommend!

I contacted Mike at Tapenades to see if they could accommodate us for a take away on our trip away in Doublebois, he came back with a range of times available and the menu. The menu look super and it absolutely didn't disappoint! Mike was...

Used this twice on our week’s holiday, and on both occasions the quality of the food was outstanding. The summer puddings alone were worthy of a Michelin star. We only wish they could open a branch in Farnham.

Best food in this area Can't wait for it to reopen soon I hope

Delicious food delivered to our holiday cottage during COVID restrictions. Great range of menu options. We ordered multiple times during our holiday because it was so good. Hearty portion sizes. Run by a really friendly team. Strong recommendation 👍🏻

Thank you so very much for another superb take away. We had the lamb,pork, duck, beef stroganoff and salmon followed by crime brûlée, lemon tart, Guinness pudding and bread and butter pudding. The food arrived on time, was piping hot, presented beautifully and tasted amazing....

Another fabulous meal thanks guys, can’t wait until we can share it with you x

Just had a meal delivered from Tapenades. It was the best we have received. We had heard it was good and it lived up to its reputation. The starters were great but the main course of sea bass with risotto rice, potatoes and vegetables was simply scrumpscious. We could not manage any desert. We will certainly be back there when lockdown is over.

Three of us ordered take-away twice recently - for my friend's 60th birthday and for Valentine's Day. We each ordered a starter and main course. We were blown away by how tasty the food is. Two of us "live to eat" while the other "eats to live." She said both meals were the best she's ever had. I think she is finally understanding "live to eat," as she said she wants to order again before my friend and I had back to the States.Between the three of us, we've had the fresh baked bread, chicken liver pate, tomato and basil soup, Cornish crab pot, and scallops florentine for starters and seabass fillets, confit duck, monkfish, and rack of lamb for our mains. All were sooooo good, we'd have them again! Also, the mains are so large, you can make two meals out of them. If I could only have two items to chose from, it would be the scallops florentine and monkfish in sweet thai chilli sauce, as I love Cornish scallops and monkfish. But after saying this, if you aren't a fish fan, you can't lose as there are plenty of other choices.I want to also note that my friend is dairy-allergic and the restaurant did a wonderful job of providing alternatives. Oh, and the guy who delivered our meals was delightful and charming, despite the horrible rainy weather. I rated the service "excellent" due to him.I've eaten at many great restaurants in the U.S. and Europe. This one ranks right up there in the "best" restaurants category. Oh, and I almost forgot, it is extremely reasonably priced. We would pay double for those meals at other "best" restaurants.

Not bad! The takeaway meal today wasn’t bad. The takeaway meal today wasn’t good either. The takeaway meal today was excellent! For our lockdown wedding anniversary meal, she started with bread variety and I with crab. She had duck and I lamb. She had lemon tart and I apple crumble. Common sense. Get the oven warm in advance. Heat your plates. Put the following courses in to keep warm while you enjoy the starter experience. Want a change from Chinese and Indian? Look no further. Thank you Tapenades 😃

This really is the best takeaway. The food is amazing! We’ve had a few deliveries now and love trying different things here because we know it’ll be good. I agree with others about the lamb needing a gravy or sauce though. Looking forward to ordering again soon :)

We ordered a takeaway as my Birthday treat and it was the most delicious take away we have had. It was piping hot, beautifully presented, delivered on time and tasted amazing. Thank you so much.

We ordered a meal to be delivered to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. It was delicious, cooked to perfection and a real treat for us all. Thank you to all at Tapenades 😊

WOW, what a meal, we had a takeaway meal delivered by Mike for my Birthday, It was Hot, tasty, delicious, everything you could ever want in a meal. Faultless. Thank you

We have just finished a take away meal from this lovely restaurant in Liskeard and it was great. It was a French themed dinner, delivered on time with a selection of starters and deserts and a wonderful main course. Excellent meal thank you!

You could pass the restaurant a hundred times and dismiss it, we did!Eventually someone convinced us it was something special, how right they were.How exactly they can produce such mouth watering food via DELIVERY ONLY is testament to the profound skills in the kitchen and the first class customer service/speedy delivery operation.We cannot wait to order again and when circumstances allow, visit the restaurant.Do yourself a favour, call them, unless of course you don't love top quality, fine dining goodness. x

Ordered the take away service ( delivered to our campsite) as the restaurant is closed due to COVID. I highly recommend this place. We had devilled kidneys, roast pork belly, asparagus pancake, and for sweets we had banana toffee pie. I have no idea how they manage to make it taste so good from take away cartons but they did. Ordering Sunday lunch next - will review on Sunday

Well done to all at Tepenades on providing a delivery service in these difficult times. We always call here on our holidays to Cornwall(5 times now). The food was fantastic and hot, even for a takeaway delivery.They always look after there customers needs to make sure they enjoy there meal.If your in the Liskeard area this is a must, you wont regret it.Neil M

We always have our anniversary meal at tappenades, but because of covid, we decided to try the delivery service, wow it was delivered piping hot and tasted delicious as always, well done for still being there at these uncertain times,

We booked meal delivery whilst away on holiday. Fantastic friendly service and delicious food! Thank you to all at Tapenades! We can highly recommend...

We tried to book a table here, but were told due to Covid and being such a small place they had adapted and were doing local deliveries. Unable to book for Saturday on the day, we opted for a Monday evening delivery to our holiday cottage not far from their base. We ordered the chicken liver pate and roasted dates wrapped in parma ham. I'd highly recommend the pate but the dates were not to my taste. Followed by the rack of lamb x 2 and the monkfish in sweet thai chilly cream sauce.The food was lovely but I'd suggest the lamb needed some gravy or sauce of some kind to top the dish of well. The potato dauphinoise was delicious and for us the extra potatoes were excess to requirements. The curry went down well but did need warming up, glad we had a microwave.All in all a lovely service and a great way of adapting to keep the business love. thank you

Discovered the absolute delights of Tapenades whilst on a short break. I won't beat around the bush so I will just say it is the best food I have ever tasted - and I like my food 😂 Had 2 out of the 3 evening meals delivered from them but I wish now we had done all 3! Arrived exactly on time and so friendly. DO NOT MISS OUT - Utterly fantastic 👍

We were staying at Holiday Property Bond Duloe Manor. We didn’t want to cook, or drive, so we asked for recommendations from the property manager, Michelle. Tapenades was the top one. We were not disappointed. We should say that we are inexperienced home delivery diners, so we rang the day before to place our order. This was at the restaurant’s busiest time, so the person we spoke to promised to ring us back later.This he did, so we placed our order, which arrived at Duloe Manor at exactly the time we requested, preceded by a phone call from Tapenades to say dinner was en route.The food was packed in thermal packaging, all recyclable, so was piping hot as we placed it on the plates. A delicious meal. Great vegetarian choice - the risotto and pancake are highly recommended.Highly recommended, with thanks to everyone at Tapenades.

Dinner for four was delicious. Presentation is excellent, food is amazing - risotto, beef wellington, Salmon, moules, cheesecake, bread and butter pudding .. all fabulous! So lovely to have a three course dinner delivered to the door at the time booked.Homemade breads are so good and flavoured butters great too.We’ll see you again, it is almost as good as going to the restaurant!We even dressed for dinner!

Our wedding anniversary meal, was delivered by Mike piping hot and ready to eat. As we can't visit the Restaurant because of COVID, it was the next best thing. The presented meal was garnished and finished to perfection, We thoroughly enjoyed out 'take away meal' courtesy of Mike & the very talented Sue.

A very big thank you to Mike,Sue and the team for our Anniversary meal,the food was outstanding!The restaurant is closed at the moment due to covid 19 but they deliver,you can browse the takeaway menu either on the website or Facebook page.We had the fresh breads and butters and chicken liver pate followed by the Hake and rack of lamb and dessert was fruit crumble and chocolate orange cheesecake,each course was hansom!The food arrived hot and was delivered in oven proof containers,so you could place them into the oven to keep warm whilst you had starters.The only thing was missing was the ambience of the restaurant.Give it a go,you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I had been booked in here by our B&B hosts at Nebula, and this was last July before the Covid situation. It was our first meal out in Cornwall and we did not know quite what to expect, in a somewhat small town. As soon as we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. We've eaten in some very fine restaurants all over the world, but this place certainly ticked a lot of boxes. My first impression was that there were no customers in scruffy clothes, caps or being noisy. This gave the indication that people came here out of respect for a refined establishment and for an exquisite dining experience. We weren't wrong. Everything about Tapanades was top quality, the staff, the food and drinks and the ambience. Something we were to think back on during the rest of our trip, when we found British food to be basically unimaginative and with repeatative menus.Thanks Tapanade for a delightful experience.

We were lucky enough to have a delivery even though we’d missed the deadline. It was our wedding anniversary so this meant a lot. The food was amazing and made our evening very special. Thank you

we had a delivery meal for our birthdays last week and the food was superb. Delivery service excellent. 5 star.

Mike, Sue and their team have always rated customer service and satisfaction above all else. With covid-19 restricting their business to delivery only, they still have managed to provide a top quality meal at a competitive price with all requests always being answered with a "yes, of course". Never disappointed, thanks Tapenades!

The best takeaway I have ever tasted, just found out we could have had free truffles for being NHS but didn’t mention it, never mind, highly recommend 😁

What a treat. They can't open but have quickly turned over to a high quality home delivery service . Great food great service great price.

As always the food and service was great only this time and during these difficult times Tapenades DELIVERED the food to us at home. All the while, we were Social Distancing.The food was great, hot and in containers inside a paper carrier bag. Chicken Breasts wrapped in proscuitto, Confit Duck, Chocolate and Orange Cheesecake & Vanilla Creme Brulle. Sauces divine.Top Nosh food but at home this time. You really should try this, it is great.Well done Sue and Mike.Of course our answers to the questions are based on this delivery.

Outstanding! Service and food. Don’t miss this. After a few visits I highly recommend this Restauant.

Fantastic food and excellent service definitely will return

Tapenades restaurant is a most excellent place to have a top of the range full meal with a range of wines to be had.

Great food and a friendly reception.

We had an excellent meal here. The food is imaginative and high quality and the wine was very reasonably priced. It’s a small place so there is a cosy, intimate feel and the owners are very welcoming. Parking was easy in the evening and in the daytime there’s a big car park a few yards away.

As Tina Turner said - Simply the Best! I cannot fault Sue's cooking or Mike's hospitality. We always have an excellent evening, unhurried, lovely food and a lovely welcome.

A couple of friends, my wife and I attended last evening. Coats taken. Drinks served. Relaxed in the settees over a drink and a chat whilst perusing the menu. Well laid table. Relaxed, friendly Mike and later on his lovely wife Sue. Attentive waitress. Excellent food. I had super soup and rack of lamb; my wife had beef fillet steak stroganoff. Lovely breads and butters. Lovely olives. Lovely amuse bouche. Excellent service. Highly recommended little gem here.

1st time visit definitely not the last cannot fault the food, service or ambiance and reasonable prices too.

Excellent food in a really nice informal and relaxed atmosphere.

Tapenads recently hosted a buffet for a funeral and provided an excellent service. The staff were friendly but professional and the whole event ran very smoothly. Food quality was excellent and there was a great selection to choose from.

We enjoy everything from food the atmosphere,!!!!! It's just great ! Must make sure we go again soon Magic

As always spot on. Perfect evening. Perfect food. Mike and Sue as always you make our evening very special. Thank you.

We have been to Tapenades several times over the years and it never disappoints. Excellent food, very friendly staff and plenty of parking in the old cattle market nearby. A little gem in the heart of Liskeard.

Tapenades had very good reviews from locals so we tried it on our first time staying in the town to visit family. On a windy, wet evening we were welcomed cheerfully and all enjoyed an outstanding meal, with wine for one, mocktail and sparkling water for the others, all very good value.

We have wanted to visit tapenades for ages so our friends arranged it for my birthday.

Had the best evening meal in a very long time ( and I've eaten in a few places, here & abroad!)

A***** Everything was amazing, from front of house, to the food that was cooked well and presented well. Homemade rolls and butter to start, time between meals to appreciate everything, friendly owner, chef and waitress. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

We visited Tapenade three years ago and had a very good meal. This visit was even better with a very comfortable dining room, very good menu and wine list and the food was excellent and very good value. The chef proprietor and her front of house husband must be congratulated on providing a very good dining experience.

After being away for a few years and recently returning we decided to revisit one of our favourite restaurants from the past. We weren't disappointed because the food was outstanding, the service impeccable and the ambience was perfect. So pleased to see Tapenades so successful because it's truly well deserved.

The food is absolutely fantastic. We ate every morsel and washed it down with some delicious wines. If you drive here you really should get a taxi home :)

I absolutely love coming hee and cannot recommend it enough.

I ate at Tapenades 15 years ago when it first opened and thought it was great then, Fifteen years later the only thing that has changed is that it has gotten better. I had the best rack of lamb I have ever had. It was locally sourced, fresh and done to perfection. My wife had the fresh Dover sole and our guests had gnocchi and roasted veg respectively. This is a must visit if you are anywhere near Plymouth or north Cornwall. The food is just too good to pass up.

We were celebrating the final evening of our honeymoon with dinner at tampenades and we were blown away! We were so impressed from start to finish! The service was second to none and the food was delicious and very local produce! We were glad we chose to come here! Will defiantly be back!

We have been in Cornwall for a weeks holiday and this was by far the best meal we have had.

We have eaten at Tapenades on 3 different occasions, each time was a real treat. This evening, we took my mother and her sister(auntie Jean) along with us, they absolutely loved their evening and so did we.

An enjoyable evening out with friends. There were 6 of us so we had a table at the back in basically our own room. The food was absolutely superb, there were no complaints. A varied menu with a couple of specials offered. I had one of the specials ... Halibut with white wine, salmon and cream sauce ... absolutely delicious. Can honestly say, this is the best Halibut I’ve ever had. The service was brilliant and attentive, Mike and Sue are wonderful hosts. Looking forward to our next visit!

Fabulous food, wonderful, friendly efficient service,, can’t wait to go back, this was a Birthday meal, can’t wait to be a year older

Lovely friendly and efficient service with superb food. I won't hesitate to recommend.

What can I say, every single course was exquisite and the service from the team was fabulous! Mike & Sue made organising my sisters hen do evening as painless as possible, chaos free!

OMG a wonderful meal tonight. Attentive service but unobtrusive, fantastic food that was a delight on the pallet. We will definitely be back !!!!

Found this lovely restaurant after asking a local "where can we get good food" This was such a delight as Liskeard was looking very tired and empty of nice places to eat. Myself and two friends were made to feel very welcome and there was a great deal of attention to detail throughout the evening from all the staff.We would highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly repeat our visit when travelling in Cornwall again

Been here a number of times, comfortable surroundings and food has been consistently excellent. Highly recommended!

Yet another beautiful meal at Tapenades, food was delicious and staff attentive, what more could you ask for...

Liskeard isn’t really know for it’s fine dinning, however this restaurant is definitely the exception. Welcomed with a warm greeting, our evening was perfect. Fantastic thoughtful service, with perfectly prepared fresh ingredients all wonderfully served. Definitely definitely recommend.

What a wonderful find, we had a meal twice whilst in the area and couldn’t fault anything. I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants and this is up there with them. Lovely cozy atmosphere superb food, home baked bread with flavoured butters. Everything was well presented and the service was excellent, given time between courses so you didn’t feel rushed. Well done to you all. The toilets were outstanding. We will be back. Thankyou Mike, Sue and Abbey.
