The Courtyard in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Popped in this afternoon for a cream tea and I must say these are some of the best scones I’ve ever had! They are made fresh every day and are partnered with some delicious jam too! Lovely outdoor seating areas for you and your dogs. Super reasonably priced as well! The members of staff working were so friendly and hard working! Definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Looe 🍓

Excellent food and service. The food was delicious, really tasty and good portion size. We are a family of 7 and there was ample space for us to sit in the lovely courtyard. It was a welcome quiet space off the main busy street in the height of summer.

Lovely, friendly and fresh - what more could you ask for? Food was tasty and full of fresh flavours, cafe was spotless and the staff absolutely lovely.

While the shop offers gluten free options, these are not suitable for coeliacs. The gf bread is frozen and has to be cooked in the toaster where the normal bread is cooked! Not an option to use a grill (they don't have one), or microwave the bread to defrost it. Having said that, the chilli nachos I did have were nice.

On a busy summer’s day we strolled down to The Courtyard and had such an amazing lunch. The team were lovely and friendly and catered to our Gluten Free and Dairy Free needs for two of our family. With three fussy boys it’s often hard to go somewhere different, but all three are everything! Beautifully presented dishes and the beans were next level! Well worth adding to your plans in Looe!

This is one of our fave spots for lunch in Looe - and we’re not even vegetarian! The mushrooms on toast is super tasty, and my husband enjoyed his beans on toast. Can’t wait for our next visit!

This lovely hidden gem in the centre of looe is just delightful, in and outdoor seating with lovely decor. The staff are welcoming and attentive the food was lovely. I had avocado and poached eggs on toast and the wife had the cauliflower soul food bowl, both were really nice and good value for money.

I visited the Courtyard with my sisters and we started with coffees which were the best we have had in Looe, made even better by the friendly, caring and relaxed atmosphere. We stayed on for lunch and each had a Soul Bowl. It was fantastic, really tasty fresh veg with loads of tastes and textures. We will definitely make this a regular visit. Really recommend for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten free and even if you are a meat eater and want to try something different..

We’ve been here a few times. It’s nicely decorated with plants, and is a calm space. The menu is vegetarian, I’m not veggie but happy to eat some beans. I had the soul bowl which was tasty. It’s a light lunch option. They offer either soup or dahl on the noticeboard but I’ve not managed to be there when the dahl was on and think that would fill me up more, so I’m looking forward to going back and trying that.

Absolutely brilliant food and service. Had Dahl and loaded chilli nachos both of which were perfect and would strongly recommend

Stopped for breakfast on the off-chance. Fantastic. Really quick service and beautifully-presented food. Other half is a carnivore so didn’t think it would work but he was impressed so will definitely go back.

Thank you for a delicious plant based lunch. My friends and I had a relaxed and pleasant dining experience. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

If you are in Looe you must visit this place. The cafe is modern, fresh and clean. The staff are excellent, very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food and beverages on offer are excellent, I guarantee you won't be dissapointed!

Excellent find only had a quick lunch cream tea for wife myself nachos and chilli fantastic food loverly people

We were ready for breakfast & looking for somewhere just a little cut above the norm - we struck gold. Anne had the poached eggs & avocado on sour dough toast & I had the wild mushrooms on focaccia - both meals were superb. Nikki & Katie were wonderfully attentive & we were so blown away, we called-in on as we were leaving Looe to purchase a couple of slices of cake to take-away - lemon drizzle for Anne & courgette & pistachio for me - both delicious! Thank you ladies for your welcome, your amazing fare & for the oasis you’ve created in one of our favourite places in the UK. 🙏😁

Great find - new owners were very attentive and service excellent, lots of choice and coffee wax wonderful. Scone cake was very good never had that before. Will book for dinner next time we’re there.

This is a really peaceful green oasis in the centre of a very busy Looe. We sat outside in the courtyard, and had coffee and lunch - the food was served promptly and was excellent. The wild mushrooms on focaccia were beautifully presented, as was the delicious and imaginative soul bowl - all ingredients fresh and locally sourced, and cooked to order. The menu is strictly veggie and vegan, perfect for me and very much enjoyed by the meat eaters amongst us. The staff were friendly and efficient, the ambience lovely, and the food brilliant. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we returned later for tea and cake - a great selection of cakes, all vegan and home made by Shaun the chef. Do visit if you can.

When planning our day trip to Looe we had already resigned ourselves to having to eat vegan food that was mediocre and overpriced - you can’t expect everywhere to cater for us herbivores! It was with a small thrill of delight that we saw the A frame advertising vegan food just off the Main Street. We were absolutely in heaven when we saw the menu, the decor and the very helpful and friendly staff in the restaurant itself. The food was excellent! Carefully considered menu and food beautifully presented. Really well balanced flavours which was clearly all freshly prepared. Thank you for making our day that little bit more special.

Such a delight - charming staff, lovely vibe, chilled music and excellent quality food and tea. Highly recommended at any time of the day!

This was my first visit to Looe and I came upon this gem by accident. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Like a previous reviewer I also chose the poached eggs and avocado and it was scrumpy!!

I stumbled upon this delightful cafe whilst looking for somewhere for lunch on my own. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a lovely relaxing atmosphere and the decor was beautiful. I ordered avocado and poached egg on sourdough toast. It was beautifully presented and tasted great! I returned later on in the afternoon for a drink and a slice of pistachio and courgette cake which was delicious! Highly recommended 😊

From the moment you walk into this little gem, it is an oasis of calm in busy Looe. We sat outside in the courtyard in the sunshine. The staff were all friendly, and the good was delicious, using local produce.

An amazing find walking the streets of Looe - A little oasis of a court yard Delicious food and amazingly friendly staff A lovely place to chill

The Courtyard is a hidden gem down a side passage. It’s so peaceful and pretty and you can sit inside or out. They do a fabulous cream tea but their lunch menu is even better. All home made and fresh that day. We shared a Mediterranean Platter with homemade bread and probably the best salad I have ever had. Dog friendly too.

What a find beautiful decor very friendly and great coffee. Just popped in and made to feel very welcome. First oat milk flat white really enjoyed it and salty caramel shortbread to die for.

Such a wonderful atmosphere sitting in the sun drinking a lovely coffee - the staff were so amazing! Came here on my last trip into town on my holiday was so so worth it

Lovely cafe. Sat in the courtyard enjoying the sun and service. Wife rated the coffee the best she had during our weeks stay in Cornwall. I enjoyed the scone of course. Wife went back for a second visit when taking in the shops.

What a wonderful surprise in the streets of Looe. Have spent many many days wandering the towns and villages of Devon and Cornwall and vegetarian pickings are always slim. This fabulous new vegetarian cafe is a delight. My wild mushrooms brunch was perfect. Loved the...

Wow, what a refreshing change from the usual Pasties, Cornish teas and Fish and Chips!. Nothing wrong with them of course, but it was delightful to have something fresh tasty and something that does'nt bloat you out. I had Poached egg with Avacado on sourdough...

This lovely cafe/restaurant is a welcome escape from the busy streets of Looe. Sitting in the outside courtyard we could have been in the Mediterranean. Great food and friendly staff.

We are a family of five two vegan and the rest vegetarian. We came across this little gem at the side of the high street and was delighted to find it’s a fully vegetarian cafe. The food was top quality and so many options which...

We were delighted to find this hidden tranquil gem in Looe where we had a delicious cream tea. The cafe is under new ownership and the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

As mentioned by the last reviewer, The Courtyard is now under new ownership. When we went towards the end of May, it had only been reopened a couple of weeks. Don’t let that put you off though as it looks fantastic and the food is...

This a a delightful spot just off a busy road which is calm and tranquil and obviously dog friendly We had coffee and cake which was very enjoyable. The staff were very nice and everything was clean and well maintained.

The Courtyard is now under new ownership. It is a lovely centre of town cafe, about halfway along Fore street in Looe. As the name suggests, it comprises a quiet courtyard with tables outside and a spacious indoor dining area, too. Despite being right next...

Ummmm …… My mussels where delicious and the coffee lovely can not fault those . However we picked this place due to the gluten free options , my partner was very upset to find that he couldn’t eat any of the options ( other than...

Small cosy place on a rainy day, cafe like (in a French way) with simple but great menu Service was not fab, checking on customers don't seems to be a thing; no arrogance in it just hasn't happened once in the last 7 days. Mussels...

I’d been wanting to visit for ages after buying several of their excellent wine cases as the photos and menus looked great. We absolutely loved it here, the setting is beautiful especially all the planting outside and a welcome quiet spot away from the August...

Looking for something to eat on Looe you could do worse than go here. There is some nice food, but… The service was great and the ladies were smiley and friendly! The cost for what you get is not value for money - particularly the...

My son in particular loves seafood. On the Main Street in Looe, very much tucked away was The Courtyard with a great menu with crab sandwiches, fish and chips and fish finger sandwiches. The servers were young ladies who provided super service, nothing too much...

Quiet and beautiful courtyard, staff were friendly and nothing was too much bother for them. Food was amazing - squid was perfect and the child sized meals were large. Not just dog friendly, they really welcome them. Don’t eat out often but I’ll definitely be...

Could not fault the meal my husband had (fish & chips) However was disappointed at the lack of customer service with regards to my dietary requirements. Due to a health condition I can only eat small meals. Rather than waste food I usually enquire if...

Ate twice here during our short break to Looe. Both occasions the service was great, staff friendly and food delicious! I tried the vegan fish and chips (banana blossom) and it was surprisingly tasty. Would definitely recommend and return.

Myself and my husband ordered a ploughman's, it was absolutely disgusting what was served to us. A tiny piece of plastic shiny fatty ham, a slither of cheese and fell apart as you lifted it as it was so thin....lots of coleslaw which was OK,...

We visit looe every year and always visit the courtyard I looked through the menu crab sandwich my favourite but at £16.50 very expensive as other outlets were priced from £7.95 to £10

We had a cream tea here with our toddler back in June. It was busy, but we managed to get a table. It was very good, but there was too much jam!

My wife arrived shortly after its opening time and were shown to an outside table but because smoking is no longer allowed indoors those of us who do not want to partake in passive smoking we asked to be seated inside. We were the only...

I started using The Courtyard for wine delivery during lockdown and have not been disappointed, efficient friendly service

I have for nearly a year had wine from yourselves and have not been disappointed. Just about to order again.

I rang 4 times left 2 messages and also filled out the online contact us form but had no response. So I went in person yesterday 9/9/21 to be told they close at 3pm despite it saying on a sign on their gate they were...

Best chowder ever, we didn’t expect this find, definitely a highly recommended hidden gem, don’t just choose pasty or fish and chips, this is a great kitchen

Great Food , very fresh and value for money, friendly staff and great location, I would really recommend it . Child friendly.

Really nice food! The boyfriend had whitebait to start and it was a massive portion and he really enjoyed it! He also said that his fish finger sandwich was really nice too! I had chips and bread and butter which was also really nice! (I’m...

My family and I went into Looe to get dinner. Hoping on the change to get a place at one of the many restaurants in the town (no reservation made). This turned out to be a mission walking around East Looe without any success. We...

Fantastic spot for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff, great food and we enjoyed trying the Cornish wine too! Children declared it was the best fish and chips of our holiday. So good we went back again.

Lovely food but definitely on the expensive side. Extortionate drink prices so don’t go thirsty. Staff were good & the choice is good

Excellent mussels. Nice setting. Dog friendly. No need to book. Friendly staff. Relaxed dining experience. Highly recommended.

My family had 2 amazing lunches at the courtyard. The staff were attentive and friendly. The menu was varied and had a good selection for my kids (1 is autistic and fussy!) Would defiantly recommend the restaurant to fellow diners.

Had a cream tea served by friendly staff in nice surroundings. Lovely and cool on a hot day. Could have been a little more generous with the cream but it gave us a good excuse to have another later in the week.

Stopped here for lunch, a lovely little restaurant with a great menu selection. I had the crab sandwich and my wife had the crab bruchetta both of which were very good. Washed down with a nice local Cornish ale and glass of wine. I appreciate...

We visited here in summer 2020 for the first time, and both my boyfriend and i were absolutely obsessed with the quality of the food!!! We came back this year for dinner and then for lunch the day after to have the amazing

Hidden away off the road it has a nice courtyard and inside is comfy and looks good which is why we chose it over the pub across the road. Much more expensive than others in the street but we thought lets treat ourselves as happy...

Visited with my wife and two boys. We all enjoyed our food. Lovely seafood dishes and great selection of Cornish wines and beers. We will hopefully visit again soon.

Fantastic——-staff very friendly and efficient, food top notch: We dined as a family of five, the staff could not have been more attentive, the food was amazing , bit pricey but well worth it , great change from pub grub!

Amazing food in a relaxed environment! We had the chowder and crab to start and then catch of the day ! Fabulous food . Very friendly staff

Lovely courtyard cafe with lots of local produce available on the menu. Food and drink of a great standard with very friendly staff

This is a lovely little courtyard restaurant situated in Looe. We arrived for cream teas on a Friday afternoon. I was disappointed with our service upon arrival, we were left waiting for 10 minutes for someone to greet us or even just to let us...

Friendly staff, nice courtyard but food was terrible. Could not eat my salad as dripping with oil and very bland! Trout fish bland and tasteless! Definitely won’t be going back🤢

We recently had lunch here on a busy Saturday. The reviews were good so we headed straight there early as they didn’t take reservations. We sat outside through choice in a small courtyard. It was very shabby with a sticky table. The waitress got our...

This little restaurant is tucked away just off the high street. It is dog friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly and the food was good and reasonably priced.

Lovely lunch on a drizzly Saturday in Looe. Restaurant was busy, however service was prompt. Lots of choice. Great location.

Delicious food, we had catch of the day, fish finger ( homemade) sandwich and my little one had children ham Sandwich ( delicious home cooked chunky ham) and chips, they where all a good size and very tasty. Friendly service and nice surroundings.

Great lunch on our first proper day. We all had different sandwiches and they were all fantastic! They were huge - lots of filling so you do get what you pay for.

We hadn't booked but stopped by on the off chance having seen the good reviews. We opted for outdoor seating as it was a fine day but there is seating indoors too. We ordered a sandwich and shared a side of chips, plus a glass...

During lockdown I ordered wine from here so was keen to try for food and it did not disappoint! A good variety of options on the menu and I went for the chowder which was stunning! Lots of mussels, calamari, white fish and prawns in...

We stopped off as our son had not had lunch so we ordered a ham sandwich for him and this was very well presented with side salad we ordered two afternoon teas the scene was warm and the jam and cream were in a small...

Had a fab cream tea, lovely friendly staff in a lovely court yard setting. One very large scone, amounted to at least 2, warm and served with a generous pot of clotted cream and jam.

We chose this place as there was a different choice for the vegans in the family from the usual chilli, curry, burger options found elsewhere. It was dog friendly and had a nice courtyard for eating out and a few indoor tables. The inside decor...

Nice friendly cafe which was great for a light lunch. Good crab sandwich and pleasant decor and atmosphere.

We’d missed our lunch on a warm late October Thursday afternoon so we called in here and opted for the tables in the yard rather than inside. Quick friendly service from a helpful lad. We had a large white doorstep sandwich filled with Looe Fish...

We ordered the fish finger sandwich and a fish and chips. The sandwich was the best I have had. Light and crispy batter, bread thick and fresh. Hubby had fish and chips. Fish was also amazing and chips were amazing. Would have pictures but started...

We were looking for somewhere that did cream teas and decided to try The Courtyard. A very quaint building and a really nice private courtyard which would be wonderful on a warm summer's day. Being early October it was damp and breezy, so we sat...

When we visit Looe we always look forward to going to The Courtyard. Such a Covid aware,family friendly place with very tasty, great priced meals.

dropped in here one lunchtime and had an excellent meal sitting outside in the courtyard. service was prompt and efficient. food was well cooked

We were lucky enough to find this tucked away restaurant last year and were pleased to find them open for business when returned during our holiday this year. Lovely food and great staff who always try to accommodate where possible.We will definitely go there again next year.Thanks to the staff for adding to the fantastic experience of our holiday In Cornwall.
