The Atlantic Cafe Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Um was ok but didn't seem as spick and span as normal staff were very nice

We had take out chips and should have taken them back. They were obviously warmed up but cold to eat. Very disappointed at £5 each portion. Twenty quid wasted

We ordered lunch here, fish and chips and Scampi and chips. Enormous portions as we couldn't finish our meals. Wish we had ordered the smaller plates!

Well cared for flowers always a good sign, and my nose reliably told me this was a good one while cycling past, one of the best I've had, the fish especially, their batter is totally made to perfection with the fish also cooked spot on and very tasty cod. Thankyou, to the fish and Atlantic cafe bar. Plenty bikers love this place too, it's also in a very beautiful location, esp when the sun shines

We went for lunch today 04/05/2025, the fish batter and the chips was very greasy, Bread was not fresh, Also very over priced. We are local and use the Atlantic each time we visit Portreath. We have always been happy with the food quality and value. We ordered fish and chips regular to take away, we were told we couldn't sit in the main cafe while waiting even though we had purchased a drink! We had to wait on the take away side which was quite honestly dirty. We ordered fish and chips regular although delicious the fish was cut in half and was so thin and mostly batter, very disappointed 😞

Superb place to dine in or get fish n chips for taking out to the beautiful beach

After a long coastal walk and a mishap planning lunch, I was very hungry walking into here but luckily the kitchen was still open for a short while so we were very grateful of this and an empty table! I absolutely enjoyed my chilli jam halloumi loaded fries and just what I needed. As my challenge for each day of this holiday was to eat an Easter themed cake each day (and it was Easter Sunday after all) I treated myself to the Creme Egg Caramel slice for dessert. Really good menu and plenty of choice for vegetarians and for children.

Being local I've eaten here a few times but yesterday's visit was great. The food was amazing and the service was great, the staff don't look overly stressed even when it's busy. The food was lovely, had the Fish Board which I can't recommend higher! Bit noisy and echoey, but that's due to hard floors and lack of soft furnishings - can't have either at a beach cafe so totally get it. I'll be back for another Fish Board when I next get an opportunity 🤘

Friendly welcoming staff and a great atmosphere big 👍👍 all round

Me and two other friends visited today, we’ve lived in Cornwall all our lives and we were yet to visit portreath, we chose this cafe after spending the day out and it made our days better. The cafe decor is absolutely beautiful which is always a bonus for us! The food was amazing as well as portion sizes being big. The price is very reasonable and the staff are lovely! No faults!

Came here with my partner this evening and ordered two milkshakes. We both love milkshakes so thought we would try here. They were quite busy as it was a lovely evening. Our milkshakes came and to say they were underwhelming is an understatement. I ordered the kinder bueno milkshake and my parter had a chocolate one. Mine literally just tasted like 'milk' with a slight hint of kinder bueno. It wasn't even cold, it was room temperature and it definitely did not taste like it had any ice cream with it whatsoever and that's what's so disappointing because a good milkshake should absolutely have ice cream in it. If a milkshake doesn't give you brain freeze, I don't think it's been made properly. I got to the bottom of the milkshake and there were just chunks of chocolate at the bottom like it hadn't been blended properly and that's probably why all I could taste was milk. I did explain this to the waitress and she was great and made me another very quickly. I had high hopes for this one. But again, it just tasted like a glass of milk with a hint of chocolate but paying £6.50 for the privilege so I left it. I guess this business can get away with it given the location is right on the beach and tourist love it it but I'm local and their milkshakes suck. Sorry!!!

Thank you so much for the amazing Brownies! They are the best around, massive and sooooo chocolatey! Great service from Holly and Tom as always and such a nice atmosphere! We will be back again soon! Thank you :)

Great setting good service cracking food can't wait to go back 😀

A local coastal gem serving superbly fresh, locally sourced, delicious food, and quality drinks. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby.

Was just looking for a place for lunch. Food was wonderful - massive portions. Froindlu staff too. Would highly recommend.

Tom is a legend and made my pregnant wife the perfect amount of butter she was craving on her toast. Nice one 💪🏻

Lovely little café with excellent food. Popped in on a rainy Thursday lunchtime as we were passing. Place had a couple tables of people in and the menu looked nice so we went in. By the time we left it was full and some people had even reserved tables. Clearly very popular and with good reason. Ill definably come back if I'm nearby.

This is mums favourite place to eat. It’s always the scampi and chips and tbh, it is truly the best we’ve found anywhere. Lovely people and great views at the front.

Food is always perfect, the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and the portions are generous too.

Highly recommend the fish n chips Friday.

Excellent cafe / restaurant. Very clean. Large portions, fair prices and very friendly staff

My eyes have been opened. Best fish and chips. Batter, light and crispy. Chips thick and soft covered in malt vinegar. Top shelf.

Visited on a gloomy January day and had a warm welcome. Food was excellent and cafe was bright, airy and open, no complaints! I assume the gentleman who served us was the owner, he had great menu suggestions. Thank you. The location is perfect right next to the beach.

Scampi & Chips were delicious and nicely cooked. The Scampi was so sweet. The coffees we had tasted nice too. We will be back thank you!

Ordered some Scampi & Chips which were delicious. The scampi was so sweet and nicely cooked. The coffee tasted very nice too. We will be back thank you.

Piping hot, great value hot chocolate and mocha. Well decorated in pastel colours. Feels very appropriate for the location, overlooking the sea.

Genuinely The very best fish and chips we’ve ever had, and all other food was spot on as well!!! I’d say this is a must visit spot for food if anywhere near here with family

Had lunch here but have visited before. Great home-made cakes!

Did not have the food there but is did look nice

Wow! I reckon these were the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The fish was exceptionally fresh. The chips were utter perfection and the service was out of this world. We were really fortunate to visit on a music night which was blissfully entertaining. The staff here really ho out of their way to look out for you and well definitely be back for more!

Great salad and mum had a tasty fish and chip meal. So large the waitress gave her an extra plate. A little slow to take our order initially but the food was great and the atmosphere was friendly if a little noisy at times. Great views too

Amazing coffee and amazing cakes. We come here after our walks and the coffee and cakes are always great. Best around. The staff are so nice really chatty and friendly. Thanks for the recommendation on the Biscoff Brownie, LUSH! See you soon.

Lovely food and huge portions but sooooo expensive. I would suggest buying one portion between two………………………………………..

Lovely food and the portion size of the loaded chips is amazing 😋😍

Well worth a visit we had the cod and chips it was absolutely beautiful freshly cooked the staff were very helpful and friendly and the restaurant was very clean I would definitely recommend The Atlantic cafe

We are always made very welcome, as dog owners and vegans. Today , after a walk around the harbour and across the beach, we went in for cake and oat milk latte. Cake was Biscoff and absolutely yummy (generous portion too!!). The coffee was hot and delicious. We sat in our favourite spot, on the comfy settees at the back. We were served promptly and with friendly, helpful , smiley staff.

Big Servings of fresh tasty food.

Staff member showing to much bad attitude. We want to order take away a fish, but his body and face expression was like we are not welcome. We not planing to back there.

Lovely service, good care of allergies.

Great food. Great coffee. Friendly staff ❤️

Visited here a few years ago and really enjoyed it. This visit however, the fish was really over done and the chips, fish and chicken bites were really greasy sadly. All food is cooked to order so there was quite a wait. For the takeaway 😔 The portions were very generous though!

Lovely place. Hidden Gem in Portreath. The food was super tasty and huge portions! Great for the family too.

Best fish and chips in a long time,we really enjoyed it.

Staying in Porthreath had a takeaway which was amazing , very generous portion sizes, good quality food, good value for money. Having being impressed we decided to eat in the restaurant, although they were extremely busy, the staff were friendly & efficient, special thanks to Chloe for the excellent service she provided to us. Again could not fault the food . Would highly recommend a visit.

We often pop to have dinner from there Amazing chips 😍 and the Curry and sausage together with a beautiful stunning views of portreath you have a winning combination

So came to Portreath Beach for the day for my mums 80th. After reading reviews of this place thought it be ideal as not too far away. The place was lovely and clean. We ordered quite a bit of food most was very good, however, there was a couple of draw backs. Lets start with the pro's: Nachos were fantastic, my wife loved them, the fish and chips were also good my parents enjoyed them, the humous was also very good. Cons: Fish and chips ok its sad that a cafe by the beach uses frozen chps and the price was a bit OTT, i expect to pay a little more at the beach but not that much, the fish tacos, my-self and my brother had these and have to say, these were not good at all. Very greasy and i think the goujons were frozen! Again at the prices they charge i would expect 100 times better than what was served. Sparkling water, served luke warm as they had non in the fridge! Had to ask for ice. All in all was an ok visit, i would go back but wouldn't order the fish and chips nor the fish tacos as they were either overpriced or just not good to eat.

Very helpful. Great awareness of gluten free needs and lots of options.

We stopped by here to catch up with friends. Staff were pleasant. The drinks were good and the cakes were nice. Also dog friendly :)

The food was incredible! We shared the seafood platter which was huge!! My favorite was the warm smoked mackerel. I hadn’t finished my tea yet so I got a to-go cup which was nice.

I love eating fish at this restaurant.. The best cod I've ever eaten, I'll definitely come back there more times😍

absoluletly amazing the food was beautiful i had fish and chips my partner had bacon chicken melted cheese and peppers served on chips and the ladies that served us was so lovely friendly and nothing was too much trouble we are going back tomorrow and we carnt wait 😀

Very tasty fish and chip meal.Good service too ! Thank you x

Take away fish no salt and swimming in smelly oil.

What a view! A lovely finish to the end of a beach day!

Great for fish and chips and a good selection of ice cream.

Lovely food, warmly welcomed by staff and quick service. Really nice atmosphere and lovely chilled vibes with the music

Absolutely excellent, fantastic views of the sea, brilliant accommodating staff and really nice food! Top marks, couldn't find fault with anything.

Great seaside restaurant with the most amazing fresh cod

Quick service, lovely food - enormous portions. But sooo expensive. £31 for two fish and chips with peas and curry sauce!!!

Very nice fish and chips. I would recommend if you're visiting.

Let's have fish and chips for tea we said. What I didn't know was that the fish is actually a whale! Golden crisp delicious fish and chips.

We booked a table for yesterday evening, and just wanted to leave a review of how nice the staff were. Also, Food - was spot on! We’ve had takeaway from here on quite a few occasions, but I’d definitely recommend taking time out of your day to enjoy food in there too! The kids meals are so generous, the salads - oh my goodness, delicious! And the cocktails - perfect! Will certainly be back!

As always lovely service from Tom, he is so friendly and always goes above and beyond to make our visits great. The Twix Brownie was AMAZING (best cakes around). Pots of tea are always massive too. Love it here and will be back soon.

Couldn’t fault the service, very friendly, had the coated calamari and chips and a cup of tea, lovely.👌🏻

Visited on a busy Sunday evening. Generous portions, good service and a nice vibe. Bit of a wait for food but they were busy and did advise us they’d be a wait.

Awesome Cod Fish Fry, amazing taste and so fresh !

Lovely place. The best fish and chips I've had in years!! Lovely milkshakes too! Highly recommend!!!

We had fish and chips with curry sauce. The curry sauce was quite good. The chips were flabby and undercooked. The fish was nicely cooked but it was an inferior piece of fish and there was something odd about the batter. So, altogether a disappointing dinner. I think it was a dinner aimed at visitors who the owners know won’t come again or they are using untrained staff

The food portion is decent and tastes great after a great hike, with Excellent customer service and nice atmosphere which has given me a great impression. I definitely will place a strong recommendation to every hikers and families and friends worldwide.

Delicious food, lovely staff and an overall nice atmosphere. If you're in Portreath and in the mood for a bite to eat, I strongly recommend this.

Nice place where we had a delicious meal for reasonable prices. Cozy atmosphere, you can also have a nice beer there. Later a DJ came with quite loud music; you just have to like that.

Amazing food, great portion size for the money

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Atlantic Cafe Bar in Portreath, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely amazing and warm, thanks to Connie, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to our every need with a genuine smile. The fish and chips were simply gorgeous – fresh and perfectly cooked. My little one was also thoroughly delighted with her hot chocolate and calamari rings, which were crispy, tender, and delicious. Beyond the food, the ambiance of the cafe bar added to our wonderful experience. We loved the gorgeous paintings of the sea and the stunning sunset photographs of Porthreath beach that were framed and displayed around the venue. The addition of fairy lights created a charming and cozy atmosphere. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautiful decor made our visit truly memorable. If you're looking for a fantastic meal with top-notch service in a lovely setting, The Atlantic Cafe Bar is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Nice place , food very good , dog friendly

Beautiful fish and chips, good friendly service

Fish and chips, sat overlooking the gorgeous beach at portreath!

The best fish and chips I have had so far.

Beautiful people, lovely service and the best fish and chips I've ever had! Dragged my partner back for a second time during our 4 night stay in cornwall! Great carrot cake too 😋

Popped in to get out of the rain and absolutely loved it. Food was delicious, huge portions too! Staff were really accommodating and attentive. Decorated lovely and nice and clean. Will 100% be returning!

Good atmosphere, lovely place in an ideal location next to the sea with delicious food and big portions of chips with the meals. They make wonderful milkshakes with locally sourced icecream and very quick service. No complaints

Fantastic fish and chips x 2! It was a superb plate of food. The customer service was not as customer focused as it should've been, but that didn't mar the 3 hours or so we spent meeting friends.

Delicious beer battered fresh fish and chips,honestly best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten,ordered alcohol free lager,didn’t bring a glass,when asked for one took a long time to get it.

Nice fish and chip place by the sea. Good selection of drinks in the bar. Ice creams and food menu ok Seafood platter not fresh all deep fried Baked cod was a good alternative for GF Tables wasn’t cleaned down enough and the wait was quite long with only two staff on the til/bar.

Very generous fish and chips, even said I might have ordered too much, instead of just taking my money (I bought it anyway). Ice cream excellent and very generous portions, vegan too and they helped me with ingredients for my child who has allergies. Friendly and welcoming.

The fish and chips was so tasty 😋

Excellent spot! However, I was very upset with the staff’s handling of the food. One of the ladies checked if my tea was hot by dipping her finger into the water

Fantastic service, there were a couple of small issues but the customer service and thought to put them right was first class. Food fabulous. Will return again.

Fish and chips are absolutely fabulous, some of the best I have had

We tried to get a pre order on the phone so it was ready for us when we get there and they said no it will be fine. When we got here they said that it will be £10 fr two portions of chips and to make it worse made we stand in the rain.

Did not think anything could compare with fish n chips that comes from the Northeast of England, but this place does. Thick white fish with perfect 'crispy on the outside, soft on the inside' batter. Impressive. Went back again and will visit in the near future. AAA+

Does what it says on the tin. Good stodgy fried food.

We came in a large group and our meals were delivered quickly and efficiently.The food was delicious and were very flavourful.The staff were extremely nice as well! The decor is a lovely beach like vibe.

Lovely atmosphere, gorgeous pictures and painting on the wall. They were able to accommodate our large of 10 people and 4 dogs with ease. Food was excellent, fish and chips were well worth the price. Large fish and very tasty chips. Very nice service too.

Nice place but £5 for a portion of takeaway chips is expensive. Not the best chips as well.

I just had fish and chips takeaway the chips were absolutely gorgeous, crispy outside and so tasty and plentiful. The fish was so fresh and I actually squeezed the lemon with parsley garnish over it. It brought out the freshness and flavour of that perfectly cooked fish

We stopped here for fish and chips on our holiday. We were told 25 minute wait which was fine as our little boy had ice cream and we had a drink whilst we waited. However, over an hour and 20 minutes later and no food, even though it was just one portion of fish and chips. People who ordered 40 minutes after us received their food at the same time. It seems they had forgotten our order or someone else had taken it but they wouldn't admit it and no apology whatsoever, even though they were surprised we were waiting so long.Shame as the fish and chips were nice but by the time the food came we had to scoff it down as we had an unhappy newborn and bored toddler. Poor service and a real dampener on our day and experience of Portreath.

We had a really bad experience here. The staff forgot our order and we waited an hour for 1 portion of fish and chips, with not even an apology offered

Portion sizes are mental. No complaints here! Waited for 20 minutes and had the facility to take beer away to enjoy the sunset. Really warm and friendly staff, especially on a Friday night!

We had fish & chips, the piece of fish was so big that I couldn't see the ample chips & plate hidden underneath it. Absolutely delicious. we've here a number of times over the years it just keeps getting better. Well done to all the staff for a friendly welcome & great service.

Right on the bleedy beach bar a few steps, good food, beer, cakes and live bands with a sunset to round it all off. As long as there's no mizzle about
