The Black Winebar & Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Super friendly and chilled atmosphere, booked our table a month ago luckily as super busy. We popped in for cocktails before going to Outlaws and felt so welcomed. Then we had food 2 nights later.. crab fritters, scallops, oysters , sole and beef skewers. All were sheer perfection, the tastes and quality of produce provided superb.

A fantastic meal on a rainy day in Port Isaac. Popped in without a booking on a very wet day but they had no problem seating us. We ordered a number of small plates from the main menu and a couple from the specials board. Nothing disappointed. The scallops and mussels were highlights but every dish was fantastic. Service friendly but not overbearing. Nothing in this area is cheap but we found prices very reasonable considering the quality. We will be back!

Simply prepared fish that speaks for itself, friendly and chilled staff, consistently good. Why spend an Outlaw-fortune when this is just as lovely.

Michelin 5 stars! Simply excellent. The fish was prepared exactly as I would dream it should be prepared. The Service was very good.

Amazing. We had a mixture of starters / small plates and then larger dishes. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. The kids food was also of a much better standard than most.

What a great place to eat. Everything ticks the box. Food is delicious - great variety of everything. The chef is clearly very talented which reflects in the amazing menu. High quality food, at a reasonable price. The whole place has a relaxed local friendly vibe. Would suit any occasion.

Superb quality sole, perfectly cooked with just enough capers in the butter to enhance, not drown. The beef cheek was so tender that it fell apart with a fork and the horseradish was subtle but perfect. The bread with the olives was delicious. The sides are expensive, £6.50 for new potatoes but are tasty. One is coming to a high quality restaurant with high quality food, this is not a wine bar with casual eats. The setting also allows for a drink outside if the sun is shining. There is wide variety of fresh fish dishes, including oysters. Highly recommend.

Intimate restaurant. Literally 2 staff including the chef! But still a great menu selection Crab fishcakes and the sole were amazing. Would recommend the Cornish potatoes too. Good service and nice food.

Delicious on both occasions! We were staying in PI for a week and ate here twice, once for lunch and again for dinner. The food was fresh and beautiful prepared, wine and service was also excellent!

Popped in for lunch, really good cooking, the family enjoyed the scallops and mussels. Wine was great too! We will pop in there again when in the area.

Wow, a new place in Port Isaac and it is incredible. Friendly welcoming staff, and dog friendly. The food is tremendous and cooked in an open kitchen by a brilliant young chef. My daughter and I sheared the seafood platter and my wife had the crab linguine and as said it was amazing and great value. I would highly recommend a visit to The Black Wine Bar and Cafe.

Back in beautiful Port Isaac for Christmas. Stopped in our new favourite place here The Black Winebar... sooo... Whispering Angel, Dover Sole, seafood platter and the freshest Port Isaac crab and lobster ..absolutely love this place.. the team here is friendly and professional.. Great food, cosy atmosphere...Great service as usual... so happy you're open this Christmas into January holidays🤶 🧑‍🎄 Booked for New Years Eve too!!@ Thank you

Welcoming, accepted our dog too who sat quietly under our table (May be with the occasional chip), lovely atmosphere, tremendous good, great service. Relaxed and cosy, especially on the autumn. We had the Seafood platter, fantastic, really fresh and plenty of it. Shared a starter which was great, and likewise desert then a lovely coffee. Lovely evening, highly recommend. Will do back!

What a lovely evening! Super friendly hosts & the chef is a Wolves supporter 🐺 The lobster risotto & steak frites were sublime & very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Loved the vibe & relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for welcoming Toby the dog too. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

Had the daily special, lobster sandwich with fries, which was lovely and fresh. Washed down with a nice glass of wine. Cute little place. Would call here again.

The Black is a super little wine bar and restaurant innPort Issac. It has a buzzy relaxed ambience, but with circa 30 covers you do need to make a reservation. Chef Ryan’s and front of house “Wu-Tang” Padraic do a sterling job, offering help and direction if needed. We tried the monkfish scampi starter which was delightful… fresh monkfish in a light batter. For our main course we shared the “Surf & Turf” platter….super fresh lobster, a well cooked steak and a surprise crab sale and on the side. All accompanied with some well made fries. We would certainly order this again. Wine selections are good and not too expensive and there were some lovely cocktails on offer… I really should have ordered the Orange Negroni! Book early and you will not be disappointed.

An amazing evening out! Extraordinary food with an incredible attention to detail. The service was genuine and welcoming making for a wonderful atmosphere

We LOVE The Black - we waited with baited breath for The Black to open and haven't been disappointed - I've been 3 times - the best value for money in Port Isaac with Ryan's original and delicious food - Paraic warm and welcoming service - between them they have a winning combination. Our most recent visit we had the full set of starters between 3 of us which was yummy, filling and so well presented. Thanks guys - keep up the good work Philippa & friends :)

Absolutely fantastic food in an intimate setting with great service. The seafood was off-the-boat fresh - no airs and graces here but simple, flavoursome and respectfully cooked fare. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Very friendly winebar bistro. This was recommended to us by our hotel on a day trip to Port Isaac. We had the freshest crab and Dover sole on the bone and our friends had a seafood platter. Tom Brown has one of only 2 boats left in the village of Port Isaac and he dropped off crab and lobster for our lunch while we were there! Great selection of wines and really well priced food and drinks. Don't miss this one, very busy so book it in advance

So nice went twice. Both times had seafood platter with sides. Absolutely gorgeous. Small so would recommend booking. Lovely wine but a bit pricey

Quite a new place I think and definitely worth a visit. We choose the lobster with a wonderful tasty salad and lovely perfectly cooked new potatoes. Hubby had fries which he said were some of the best he had eaten. Lovely service. Decent wine list and beer on tap. It’s only small and so make sure you book. Dog friendly too. Would even consider driving here just for lunch it was that good.

Has great potential. food was really fresh and tasty, however they run a takeaway service at the same time so for such a small kitchen it was too much and one of our party’s meals arrived so late we were almost finished eating, and they had ran out of coke during the day and didn’t restock for the evening. And they had not kept the wine re stocked in the fridge so had to buy a cheaper option. They will do well if they scale back on the takeaways and keep the drinks stocked.

Incredibly impressed with all aspects of our meal. Friendly and very hard working staff. Cocktails to start were prepared very well. Great choice of local food on the menu. We had the prawns, tomato and mozzarella salad, then, surf and turf and cod. Everything was clearly very fresh and portion sizes good. A lot of care was taken both in presentation and overall taste of the meals. The wine selection was also very good. Would thoroughly recommend booking to visit if you are in the area.

We booked as a family of 4 for an evening meal whilst staying in Port Isaac and very glad we did. The menu offers multiple appealing options, we went with a few small plates to share and a childrens meal for my youngest. The food was very good and the service was friendly. We would recommend

After being rudely refused service next door we popped in here for tea and coffee and staff on duty where super friendly and attentive and though only tea and coffee it was lovely.

Food was lovely and fresh Drinks on offer are well chosen Service was excellent As I understand it, they have only been open since late spring/early summer - they have a great offering on the menu the hummus and chorizo was very very nice indeed.

Excellent small wine cafe, I had the Surf n Turf which was excellent and well worth the money, the rest of my party had different dishes (all of which were great), friendly staff and an amazing chef

Popped in with our pooches to shelter from the baking hot sun and tucked into some fish taco’s and a buttermilk chicken baguette. Both were bliss! We were shocked at how reasonably priced the food was. Excellent eatery and would recommend! If we weren’t passing...

Absolutely fantastic food at The Black last week, really accommodating to our (GF) dietary requirements and the quality, service and atmosphere spot on. Imagine it’ll be impossible to get a table here soon so book now!

Absolutely stunning atmosphere, food and wine. We were truly blown away by our meal (charcuterie board + fish platter), one of the best dinners i’ve had out in a while. Lovely service too. Would highly recommend to anyone, you will not be disappointed 😊

Amazing food, great service and relaxed atmosphere. Phenomenal value for the price point, would definitely recommend.

Amazing food, great vibe. Seriously great food, creative flavours using all local produce from Port Isaac and surrounds. Great tapas style dishes with fine dining flair. Fabulous service laid back atmosphere
