The Greenhouse in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely outstanding meal. Seasonal and delicious. Good selection of wine, but note that you can also bring your own bottle(s) for a reasonable corkage.

Every now and then we are lucky enough to eat somewhere where the food transcends the ordinary, because of the care with which ingredients are chosen, the cleverness with which they are matched and then the skill with which they are prepared and cooked. The Greenhouse is such a place. The six dishes ordered by us were all fabulous; layered with flavour and textures, based I think on locally sourced ingredients. The atmosphere is easy going and places must be at a premium. If you can get a table then you are in for a treat.

I received a warm welcome upon arrival at this tiny bistro. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The scallops were the best I’ve ever tasted. Service was great given this a small operation. I enjoyed it so much, I dined there twice during my stay in the area.

A very special restaurant- superb evening with fantastic imaginative dishes, especially the scallops and cauliflower cheese soufflé.

Whilst on holiday in Cornwall we were fortunate to book the last table available during our stay. Not only was this the best meal we had in Cornwall, it’s the best meal we’ve eaten out in a long time! My husband is a very good cook and becomes frustrated by the usual fare served at many restaurants as he thinks he can produce better food at home, although I enjoy eating out for the ambiance. We were both rewarded at The Greenhouse. It is a small, friendly and unpretentious place which is obviously very popular so book ahead. Both Leonie and Neil made us feel welcome. The menu changes depending on what is available I assume and has limited choice, which we think is a good sign. My husband and I had scallops to start with which had a slightly Asian flavour and were delicious. Our friends both had haddock soufflé with a carrot sauce which was tasty but quite large helpings. To follow, my husband had monkfish which was perfectly cooked. I had venison which was tender and delicious although I didn’t manage to finish the dish. We all had different flavours of the excellent homemade ice creams or sorbets. Neil was very happy to chat about how he makes them and even produced a sample of the beetroot sorbet for us to try which we all enjoyed. We took our own wine for which we paid corkage. As we left the restaurant and headed into the pictures square of St. Keverne, the church bells were chiming which was a perfect end to the evening.

We turned up and were welcomed by Neil who explained there were running a little late so could we delay by about 20 mins. His polite manner and way of talking to us as people meant that this was not a chore in anyway. He took our bottle of champagne and placed it in the freezer so that it was deliciously cold when we got back. The menu was easy to read and follow, and we enjoyed some complimentary bread and olive oil as we tried to decide on what choices to make from the menu. What made this difficult was not the endless choice of options, but the fact they all looked so delicious. The food when it was delivered was simply AWESOME, and we cannot praise the chef enough. All three courses we requested were cooked expertly, presented brilliantly, and tasted delicious. Neil was attentive when he needed to be, but left us alone to enjoy our evening together, thank you. We were so impressed that we have re-booked for the near future when we have friends coming down from Portsmouth.

What a wonderful find! A friendly welcome from the host and good efficient service throughout. Food is fantastic - expect top-class ingredients perfectly cooked. We both had scallops to start followed by beautiful pieces of turbot. Excellent desserts followed to complete the meal. Prices for food and wine are quite reasonable for the quality provided. The venue is quite small and obviously very popular so do book ahead. Well worth a detour if you’re staying anywhere near.

An evening in this small restaurant is the highlight of our annual trip to Cornwall. The food and the welcome is exceptional and we could not recommend it more highly. Book ahead

We are occasional visitors to the area and have visited before. Last Thursday was excellent. The menu was so tempting and whatever we had chosen would have been good. My cured trout starter was amazing followed by a loin of cod cooked perfectly finished off with home made peach ice cream. The lovely couple who run this place offer perfect service I can't wait to go back. It's relaxed and wonderful.

Excellent food in a cosy, intimate village restaurant. Delicious fish dishes and unusual desserts. Very good value for money and you can bring your own wine.We managed to get the last table available on Saturday evening and went back on Friday. I only wish that they were open more often!

We booked before we came down to Cornwall for our holiday, and were so glad that we did. The Greenhouse is very small, but every place was taken on a Friday evening in November. Most of the others seemed to be regulars, which is always a good sign. The food was delicious, especially the furiyaki beef. An interesting range of natural wines too.

We restaurant is normally closed on a Wednesday evening, so we had the Restautant to ourselves. Leonie and Neil could not have done anything else for us. We had Scallops, Sardine, souffle and gravlax as starters. Our main course we had bass, Scallops, Duck, Italian burrata. The Quality of the food, the service and atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. We had guest from London and their comment was ' We could not get better in London'. Thank you, Leonie and Neil for making our evening so perfect.

Found this restaurant by chance, having visited the area for many years, but wanting somewhere special to celebrate 2 birthdays and a retirement. Wasn't sure what to expect, being in such a small village, but we were all totally won over by the amazing food and personal service. There was a wide range of dietary requirements in the group, but all catered for with no fuss. Everyone loved their food, but the cheese soufflé and hake were particular favourites. Thank you so much for making it such a special evening - we look forward to visiting again next year!

We chose Scallops, duck, Cauliflower Cheese Souffle, Hake and Kahlua Baba, the quality of the ingredients and the preparation absolutely perfect. The flavour of the food was also stunning. I would also like to add that they had to apologise for the fact that the souffle failed the first time around and apologised for the slight delay, worth the wait! We have never been able to book here in all the years of visiting, but this year we managed and it was not a disappointment at all, will definitely return and highly recommend. Such fabulous, informed and passionate hosts.

Superb, totally recommend. We had a wonderful dinner. Food and wine excellent. I wish we had eaten here every night of our week’s holiday and do close to Coverack where we stayed.

Outstanding. If you are lucky enough to get a table, go!! The seabass was exquisite, the maitre d charming and the chocolate nemesis was incredible. Thank you.

A wonderful eating experience every time we've been. Leonie produces fresh, clean, wonderfully flavoured food and Neil serves it with charm and efficiency. Would eat there regularly if we lived closer.

What a superb restaurant...we had a wonderful meal at The Greenhouse tonight. Leonie is a terrific chef and Neil is a terrific host, all of which guarantees a dining experience to remember. Can't wait to visit next summer!

We love good food and this wonderful small restaurant delivers every time.Quality ingredients good with great imagination and flair.Unusual combinations that work every time.As soon as we book accomodation in Cornwall I book a table here.Often months ahead but that's because it's a real highlight.We are both keen cooks but the Greenhouse surpasses our efforts by a mile.Jane Borrows

Just top class small bistro. First class service with imaginative and delicious food cooked within sight of our table. Ours was a return visit and we will return again.

My 2 daughters and I had the most wonderful experience at The Greenhouse. Just one chef and one waiting, perfect greeting and perfect timing of dishes. So very polite and all with a smile. The food was amazing. We took our own wine which made the evening very affordable, hoping to go back very soon.

A great little restaurant with a concise but imaginative menu that changes daily. The flavours were lovely and the food beautifully prepared and presented. Well worth bookimg ahead for.

Far and away the best place to eat on The Lizard or Helford. Husband and wife team, everything prepared and cooked on site, from the starter bread through to the ice creams. Small number of tables, loyal following, so book well in advance.

What a gem this restaurant is! Intimate surroundings, exquisitely cooked and presented meals, and a host who enjoys talking about food. I hope we'll get the chance to visit Cornwall again: if we do we'll certainly return here.

The beloved booked us a table at this outwardly unprepossessing premises.It's a small venue but didn't feel crowded. The Maitre'd was friendly and attentive and our food arrived in good time. What good food it was, too!My gruyere and leek souffle was a masterpiece and the chocolate nemesis dessert was phenomenal - who would have thought that liquorice ice cream would partner chocolate mousse so well!Do visit this place. The treasures within belie the building's outer appearance!

We had a fantastic meal at The Greenhouse last night, we were lucky enough to get a cancellation while staying nearby. The restaurant is small and intimate and had a lovely atmosphere....it was buzzing with conversation. The food was delightful; cooked to perfection, spot on flavours and the portions were very generous. The kitchen was open and we could see in from our table, the team made the whole thing look effortless. I would highly recommend a visit.

We have been going to Coverack each summer for a week in July for years and chanced into the Green House year ago. Each week we try to visit them a minimum of two times. As a seasoned business traveler with a generous expense account,

This is obviously a very unique restaurant entirely staffed at every level by a husband and wife team.You feel you are in some one's home in the front living room.The food is not fine dining but wholesome homely food,generous in portion and reasonably pricedSt Ives smoked haddock souffle watercress and lemon sauce parmeson crisp and fresh crab was top notch succulent and full of lingering flavour - the dish that stood out even though starterUnfortunately the tenderloin pork was quite firm and not all that flavoursome and the accompanying pork belly was far too fatty - it was a heavy dish in many waysUnfortunately the red mullet a notorious fish to get right - that is tender and moist - unfortunately was overcooked and dry although accompanying crab croquettes were deliciousMaybe food has moved on and cooking methods have changed but you cannot deny that the menu choices are eclectic and creative and not standard fare

It is not very often that I write reviews but this place is so exceptional that I need to.We only managed to get a table because of a cancellation such are th demand for tables. But I was so pleased that someone cancelled. The food is simply exquisite in quality, flavour and presentation. You cn tel that both Neil and Leonie (both qualified chefs) take real care in everything to make your dining experience one that you will remember and remember for all the good reasons, Faultless. Thank you. Jay CEE & T

I booked this restaurant well in advance as I knew we where going to the Lizard and what a great find.We had the Scallops and cod to start with. The scallops where something else, I truly never taste something so good. If you go they are a must. After we had the duck and the monkfish both of which where so tasty. The restaurant is small and you could easily miss it from the outside. The staff are helpful and friendly. Such a shame we couldn’t have deserts as my partner want to rush off for the football. I highly recommend a visit but do book well in advance.

Great flavourful, feasts for the eyes and the tummy. Generous portions of fresh and delicious local ingredients. Small but perfectly formed menu that manages to have something for everyone. If you can get a table here you really must grab it! Amazing scallops, smoked salmon was almost like tuna carpaccio, lamb cooked beautifully, monk fish was meaty and tasty. My husband managed a pudding but I was too full so I had a glass of their rhubarb kombucha which was a perfect end to the meal for me. If ever I’m back in this area I will most definitely be booking a table. It was like being cooked for in a friends house but a friend that was a professional, talented and generous chef laid back and eat.

Delicious food, really interesting options on the menu and perfect service. The evening was an absolute treat.

Everything about the Greenhouse was absolutely superb. We had initially hoped to boook for my actual birthday but the restaurant was shut that day and so we had to go the day after which was no bother to me. We arrived about five minutes before our booking time but we were immediately seated and shown the menu. I will point out here that the restaurant does offer a wine list but they also offer BYOB for £5.50 corkage so you can have the chance to have one of their wines or one of your own if you have an absolutely favourite wine. I opted to buy from the menu and my parent chose to use their own wine that they enjoy themselves. I would highly recommend their glass of Prosecco if you are a fan of sparkling wines. The menu isn’t a large menu but I honestly don’t think it needs to be as the food on offer is outstanding. There is an option of fish, meat or vegetarian. I chose a fish starter and a meat main (pork belly and pork medallions ~ and to say I am not a massive fan of pork and chose this and enjoyed it definitely says something!). The food was outstanding and it’s easy to see why this place is so popular. The restaurant is quite small too, so please make sure you do book to avoid disappointment. I don’t believe the restaurant does offer walk in service as they did seem to be full every night they were open during the week. That being said, it was also very socially distanced and felt very safe to eat there with the ongoing pandemic. It has actually been one of my first meals out since last year. They made me feel very safe and like there was some normality again which was just what I needed after a year of working none stop. They made the night wonderful and I am honestly not able to thank them enough for their hospitality. I was shocked at the price because usually for that kind of service, food quality and portions you would expect to pay quite a lot, but this was so reasonably priced too! Definitely worth the money. There were x3 starters, mains and desserts, x3 glasses of wine from the menu x2 drinks from the board, x2 corkage wine bottles and it was cheaper than I expected. As I said, that kind of food quality and service etc in London you’d be paying over the top so it was a nice surprise. I will definitely book to eat here again when we next visit St Kerverne, make sure you get yourself booked if you are down there at any time.Thank you again for a wonderful night

This was our second visit to The Greenhouse and, if anything, it was even better than our first (in October 2020). The quality of the cooking, the service, the value for money and the ambience were all outstanding. By far the best food we ate in our week on The Lizard. The only “issue” was in deciding what to have. Everything on the menu caught my eye and the dishes I saw being served to other diners confirmed that I would have been very happy with absolutely everything on the menu. I eventually opted for seafood both as starter and main. Scallops followed by monkfish to be precise. High quality ingredients, superbly cooked, generously portioned and very fairly priced. I was literally too full to have a pudding, but I’m determined not to make that mistake next time, and there will definitely be a next time!

We chose this restaurant after reading reviews that were glowing & we were so glad we did. We were staying in St Keverne for a long weekend & went here on the Friday night. You must book in advance as they were full. We started with goose liver parfait which was delicious. My husband had pork belly for main & I had skate. All of which was perfectly cooked & the presentation was also beautiful. We shared a dessert as the portions are Not skimpy for a bistro ! Lemoncello & elderflower rum baba. The lady chef has an amazing talent & the gentleman serving was friendly & chatty. We had a wonderful evening here & would highly recommend it.

The couple who together run this bistro deserve National Treasure recognition. in what looks like it was a front room in out-of-the way St Keverne, they invent, cook and serve the most lovely dinners. Everything that can be is hand-made, from the bread, the gravadlax, the pate, the souffles, the mains, the puddings, including always all the ice creams. This time, we enjoyed duck liver pâté, smoked beetroot and burrito, salmon, local lamb and a spectacular fig sticky pudding with hazelnut ice cream and poached pears. There are lots of awards of course. Even in the lockdowns and Tiers, they have served their local community and turned their hand to take-aways and bakery. Tables are even fewer in these times, but book if you possibly can.

Our second visit to this little gem! The food is so imaginative, beautifully prepared and tastes divine. Every course was greeted with a ‘wow’. Friendly, attentive service. We can’t wait to go back.

A lovely restaurant in a very picturesque village with a lot of history.Really friendly welcome, lovely relaxed atmosphere. The scallops were excellent!! Followed by monkfish/ crab risotto beautifully presented with plenty of time between courses. A popular place with locals you will need to book well in advance.

This place is fantastic, the food was delicious, you can taste how fresh all the ingredients are. The service was warm and friendly and the wine was sublime. If you have the opportunity to visit, you will not be disappointed.

Honestly I can't recommend this place highly enough.......after dropping the news of my dairy allergy there was a fleeting moment of panic in the eyes, quickly replaced by the most fantastic menu amendments!I started with Monkfish which with the mango was stunning. For main I had scallops with a switch of the usual butter to an onion, pine nut & olive oil sauce, which was anything but disappointing. The cherry on the top was a vegan chocolate tart with pineapple sorbet, never tried by another guest which was possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had!If you are anywhere near St Keverne - this is a must do!!

The food was incredibly delicious, the music & ambiance was lovely and the service from Neil was excellent. Would love to come back!

This was our second visit to this hidden gem in St Keverne. The welcome we received was wonderful and the food exquisite and all locally sourced. The owners could not be more friendly and it’s set up is such that everyone gets personal attention.The Greenhouse St Keverne is a must visit and we cannot wait to return!!

If you are in the area you must go for a visit! The food is incredible, locally sourced and so much care goes into it. Really friendly and welcoming staff, you can bring your own wine for a corkage fee too.

I can recommend this high quality, small restaurant. Everything we had was delicious. Lots of local ingredients. Generous portions. We spent £50 per head, for three courses and a glass of wine each. Really good value for money.

You are made to feel so welcome the minute you step through the door. The food is so tasty and comforting. So reasonably priced amazing for the amount and quality you get. We ordered the pineapple upside down cake for pudding and when we complimented the chef on it he said it was both vegan and gluten free we would never have known. We had 3 children with us ages 9 13 15 they also loved the food not a scrap left on everyone’s plate can’t wait to go again.

If you are in Cornwall then don’t bother with the celebrity chefs on the north coast. Head south, about as far as you can go, to The Greenhouse in St Keverne. You will not be disappointed. This restaurant is right up there with the best, anywhere. Make sure though you book in advance.

Great little restaurant, food and service superb. Make sure you book in advance, they were full when we were there in october.

One thing is clear, you do have to book well in advance even in October. The little restaurant was full when we visited and not just with holiday makers but many locals too. There are local artworks adorning the walls, all for sale, it is a buzzing environment owned and worked by a lovely couple who work like clockwork together. The menu choices are limited but excellent and Neil’s sourdough is to die for. Our food was excellent and they make every effort to source produce as local as possible. You can bring your own wine ( corkage at the time was £5.50 ) but the wine list although restrictive was good. We will definitely return in 2020 and be booking the service they offer to cooking for a special occasion at your holiday home!

Really enjoyed our wedding anniversary at this first rate restaurant. All food freshly cooked and beautifully presented, and served efficiently with careful attention to detail . We would certainly recommend this restaurant and return in the near future.

This is our 3rd year visiting the Greenhouse. We book 2weeks before we go to Cornwall. Food is fabulous we're never rushed but sometimes feel they could maybe do with another member of staff to help with service as potatoes came 5mins after main meal but food is second to none.

Tucked away in the quiet village if St Keverne is an unassuming house converted into a small restaurant and kitchen which hides a fine dining experience that would normally be seen in a high end Michelin restaurant. The photos speak for themselves but cannot get across the the amazing flavours. Book a few weeks in advance though-the secret is out!

The Greenhouse was the best meal of our stay10 day stay in The Lizard! The owners are Neil, a wonderful host and Leonie, the magical chef. The seasonal menu changes weekly. Book ahead and be wow'd.

The Greenhouse might be the best restaurant in Cornwall - I don’t know, but as a visitor from London I can say this was one of the most enjoyable meals I’ve had anywhere. The scallops were perfect and the liquorice ice cream is to die for. Plus, The Greenhouse is so friendly and unpretentious. Eat here if you can.

Very friendly service, so difficult to choose! Smoked salmon and chive soufflé in spinach and sorrel sauce as starter and a very large Newlyn bream fillet with fresh crab risotto were the common choice and were full of flavour besides being good to look at. Argued the toss as to whether authentic carnaroli rice was used for the risotto, and decided probably, it was so creamy. One person opted for two starters, rather than starter and main, no problem. Desserts good on the eye if not the waistline, but then, only on holiday once! Take your own wine corkage £3, we opted for local An Hof beer which is both fine and educational. Prices well down for first class food, family run, not too many tables.

We come back every time we come to the Lizard and make sure we book before we leave home. Otherwise, we might not have got in. Run by the nicest couple you could meet, the menu is inspired, the cooking and presentation exquisite. We opted to bring our own wine for a £3 corkage but they have a modest wine list if you forget. A delightful and memorable evening, we were the last to leave and enjoyed talking about our experiences with them before we said goodnight. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We are Australian and staying for five nights in an Airbnb nearby. Our host recommended this restaurant and managed to get us a table at the last minute and it was a highlight. The food was innovative and the service seamless,they were fully booked but everything flowed. Very grateful to have eaten here, it's advisable to book ahead online

We have tried to get in before. You won't get in without booking a table. This place is rather small, so seating is limited. The menu is limited, but superb, creative, and beautiful. I had a crab paté as a starter that was fantastic and beautiful. My main was broiled sea scallops that were perfectly cooked. We splurged and split a dessert consisting of rhubarb, Chantilly cream, custard, meringue, and ginger. How eye-catching. I want to go again!

Recommended to us and we tried to book a table two years ago, they were full. This time we got one! Lovely people running a great little restaurant. We loved the food, service and will come back again next time we visit The Lizard.

The Greenhouse is a small restaurant near the square in St Keverne. It is open for dinner on 3 nights, Thursday to Saturday. The room can be a little noisy. The menu is not extensive, however, there is something for all. You are asked if you have any allergies. The starter, main and dessert ( and cheeses) were all excellent and the portions we not small. You can also take your own wine with a format of £3, but they have a good wine list.

Visited whilst on holiday staying in the village. Relaxed, informal , friendly and attentive. Really good food , great selection of starters and puddings, slightly restricted in mains if you don't like fish, not a problem in my case, delicious scallops! Took our daughter with us, who declared it was the best meal she'd ever had, so much for my cooking! Highly recommended.

Another visit to St Keverne to see family and an evening meal at the Greenhouse.

A lovely cosy restaurant, everything about it was very good, Ambience, Service, Food. Good size portions, everything very fresh, well cooked and very well presented.

This was our first ever visit to The Greenhouse. We had previously heard great things about the restaurant, but the reality was even more wonderful than we were expecting. Beautiful food with great attention to detail and fabulous customer service. We will definitely be visiting again. A thousand thank yous for a wonderful evening.

Wow! We went here whilst staying in the village as it was recommended by our hosts. We were blown away by the quality of the food and we were made to feel very welcome, even though it felt the restaurant was full of regular locals...which is not at all surprising. You are welcome to take your own drink which we didn't, but another time we would. The food was excellent, cooked by someone who knew exactly what they were doing and you could tell it was with first class local ingredients. It was a special place to go and a memory that will stay with us for a very long time and when we visit that way again we will be sure to return.

The best meal we have had for AGES ...it was seriously excellent. The service was impeccable and everything we ate was so delicious, beautiful ingredients, sauces, purée, fish, pork made 3 ways and the most mouthwatering cheeses and marinated raisins. Thanks and we will be back ASAP.

Booked this restaurant for my 60th Birthday Dinner as the food is always lush.

My husband and I visited this restaurant last night for the first time. We both had the same food, squid to start ( amazing ) and the fillet of beef ( gorgeous ). Thereafter we had a sweet of coffee creme brule which had a sort of Bonfire toffee glaze on the top and was served with a shortbread biscuit ( amazing ) taste. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and it was all cooked to perfection, we're still talking about the quality of the food today! What an amazing find and such nice people too, we'll be back ..

My husband and I returned to the Greenhouse for another wonderful meal. We were greeted like old friends and made to feel very welcome. The food was outstanding. I had a Hake dish and my husband had the steak. The desserts were also wonderful. Chocolate nemesis and liquorice ice cream a perfect combination.

On the positive side, the service is friendly.

Our party of 4 had the most delicious three course meal complete with 2 excellent bottles of wine. Unassuming from the street but once inside the room was bustling with atmosphere and everyone in there was clearly enjoying their meal as much as we were! A must visit if you are anywhere near- or even if your not! Will definitely be returning here when we visit again.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal here this evening. A small little restaurant run by a friendly couple. Fresh local food homemade bread and ice cream. Good selection of wine although you can BYO wine too. Would highly recommend.

Mum lives locally and we’ve visited multiple times and not once has it failed to excite. We have tried various dishes but the last time we went we had the haddock soufflé, which was so light but packed with original tastes. We loved the mains, particularly the aubergine cannelloni with the sea bass. However the highlight for our party this time had to be the sorbets and ice creams. They are perfectly balanced and packed with unique flavours. An amazing little spot off the beaten track. I would definitely recommend The Greenhouse to all in the area.

Have been here many times, and had many memorable meals. It's not just that it's one of the most southerly restaurants in Britain, which you approach across wild moorland: everything about the experience feels personal. The food, which is not only inventively devised, but really feels like it's been prepared just for you, by Leonie, while Neil's service is caring without being intrusive. The treacle-cured gravalax is exquisite, the cheese souffle has to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. I once had a whole hen crab - an experience I hope to repeat. Hard to put into words exactly why this place feels magical.

We returned to this beautiful restaurant as we were on holiday again in the area. Neil and Leonie continue to serve delicious food in an intimate relaxed setting. Every dish was cooked to perfection- the menu is always inventive with local seasonal produce. We can’t wait to return when next in Cornwall.

Had a lovely meal at The Greenhouse. Even though we were a large group taking up the whole restaurant, our food all arrived together. Staff couldn't have been nicer would highly recommend.

The greenhouse is a hidden gem in the beautiful village of st Keverne. The restaurant prides itself on using organic local ingredients, organic wines and local beers. If you enjoy fine dining and are looking for a restaurant that captures the Essence of Cornwall this is the place to go. Well done to the greenhouse and we will definitely recommend you to our friends.

We’ve been a few times over the years as we holida in the area annually. This time, we made not one but two reservations to eat at the Greenhouse - why traipse somewhere else when you have somewhere so wonderful within staggering distance ?! The food once again was perfect - a haddock soufflé with a curry sauce and Parmesan crisp was light but full of flavour, and the squash fritters for my main - just a gorgeous option for a non meat eater. The owners deserve success and whilst I’d love for Michelin to come knocking with a star equally I don’t - I wouldn’t the lengthy wait to book a table and so on that comes with it!

Great ingredients beautifully combined with pride but without pretention. Service was friendly and professional and the evening was wonderful. I’ve paid a lot more for less. It is a shame we live hundreds of miles away but if you’re anywhere near then I recommend you go.

Amazing place, best food ever and at normal prices. Not up it's own arsenal like some restaurants in the Michelin Guide. Just the best food I've ever eaten out. No attention to detail missed and friendly enviroment. You can even take your own wine for only £3.00 corkage per bottle. Please go and eat here you will not be disappointed !

We didn't think we'd manage to get a table on a Saturday in the peak holiday season just a few days ahead - we got very lucky! The small but airy dining room was buzzing by the time we arrived - and to my delight there were some locals there as well as holidaymakers. People were waving to their friends walking by in the (almost traffic-free) village street, and conversing with the proprietors and even people at adjacent tables. The best of a 'proper local' atmosphere combined with stunningly good food that would outdo many a 'gastropub' and was served without pretentious song-and-dance, just good old-fashioned politeness. The local scallops and hake were deliciously fresh and perfectly cooked; my sister enjoyed a very generous helping of tasty pork, and neither of us could resist the crème brulee with roast peach (though we were also tempted by the Roskilly's ice cream, which we've been fans of for years. There is also a good wine list, so we left our BYO bottle in its bag and enjoyed the ones on offer. The whole evening was most enjoyable and also very good value - right down to the free parking on the town square or the £1 honesty box outside the village band room. I hope to come back again soon.

An excellent day at the restaurant learning how to make and bake the perfect loaf! An awesome introduction and so simple I can hardly believe we did it

Superb food. The service was excellent, the scallops starter, hake main and chocolate nemesis dessert ...... go to St Keverne for this alone.

Another visit to Cornwall to see family and friends and a visit to this treat of a restaurant in the village. We went for an evening meal with friends and were treated to a fantastic meal. Service was as always very good and friendly.

Lovely menu beautifully cooked and presented a perfect evening with friends . The village of St Keverne should be proud to have such a good restaurant.

We paid a return visit to our favourite restaurant bar none whilst in Cornwall last week and found it to be as wonderful as ever, the culinary high spot of our annual family holiday! I only wish it were our local restaurant. A friendly and truly inviting place and just the absolute best cooking with fresh high quality ingredients turned into masterpieces by the talented Léonie. For starters my husband had geavlax which he pronounced excellent and my daughters enthused about their wonderful wild garlic soufflé with celeriac velouté and Parmesan crisp. For mains we all demolished generous portions of perfectly cooked hake on an onion purée with greens served on a dreamy lightly spiced sauce and, being very greedy we also enjoyed bowls of the crispest most delicious chips imaginable...Puddings were similarly delicious: coffee crème brûlée with almond shortbread and a chocolate truffle, and a chocolate nemesis with peanut butter ice cream were both greatly enjoyed. We also had a delicious organic white wine and home made bread! Lovely friendly efficient service by Neil. He and Léonie are such a nice couple : warm genuine and welcoming.This is cooking of an exceptional quality by someone who understands flavour combinations and feeds everyone with love and generosity- the appreciation from all the other contented diners in the restaurant was very evident from the enthusiastic remarks I overheard. A happy convivial place obviously much loved by locals and visitors. I am already looking forward to next year's visit to The Greenhouse!

I make point of eating at the Greenhouse at least once whenever I'm in Cornwall. It has to be the best restaurant on the Lizard and probably beyond. You really get the impression that the owners have a real respect for food. They are very friendly and very professional. It is incredible value for money for such a high standard.

Everything about this restaurant is Stunning! Superb food brilliantly presented,wonderful genuinely friendly service, has to be the best eating establishment in Cornwall !! Paul and Diane,St Stephen Cornwall.

This is in our view the finest restaurant in Cornwall and we have eaten in many of them over the years. Neil and Leonie are lovely people; in this small, unpretentious restaurant Neil looks after you so effortlessly and Leonie is a culinary genius who exudes calm whilst producing such original combinations of flavours that surprise and delight. In the foulest of weathers we were confident it would be worth the effort and we were not disappointed! We were very satisfied!

We love everything about this tiny restaurant, in an unspoilt small village, but above all the owners' dedication to fresh and interesting food; influenced by world cuisines while relying on great local ingredients. Short menus, including their own superb smoked salmon and breads, are very fairly priced and accompanied by good wine suggestions. Lovely welcome, thoughtful service, and stand out desserts made our New Year's Day visit a very special one.

Ate here again twice in November and Neil and Leonie continue to maintain such really high standards. Do not be deterred from the outside appearance of the bistro as from start to finish everything that is served up is just a joy and so lovingly prepared and served. Your hosts quietly go about their work in a very understated way but provide you a most memorable evening out. Thanks again N & L.

We are hardly regulars - this was only our third visit to the Greenhouse over a period of a few years. But, it never disappoints. This is a restaurant where the quality of the food is high (the provenance of it, too) and everything seems to be under-stated. What a treat it is to sit down and enjoy a carefully-cooked, well-presented meal, prepared and served by people who use no unnecessary adjectives on the menu, nor unnecessary styling on the plate or at the table. Everything on the short, three-course menu looked good and proved to be delicious - my wife particularly enjoyed her venison and I loved the whole plaice. On a Saturday evening in early December, the restaurant was busy, but, certainly not packed out - not bad, though, for remote little St Keverne at that time of year. There would probably have been more had the proprietor's wife not been unwell - she could not work that evening, so, he did the cooking and the waiting. It was a remarkable achievement. Nothing went wrong with the food or service (nothing that we were aware of, anyway!) and we had an extremely enjoyable meal. In an earlier review, I wrote that other restaurants could learn a lot from The Greenhouse. That is still the case.

Another fantastic meal at The Greenhouse. Many of our party chose squid as a starter and it was utterly delicious, a slightly sweet pumpkin houmous complimenting the perfectly charred squid, wish I could recreate it at home! Good selection of starters/Mains/Dessert- Menu was 3 courses for £25 and the portion sizes were spot on. My youngest son actually asks if it is 'Greenhouse day' on holiday- Leonie and Neil are culinary heroes in the eyes of our kids!

Slightly retro bistro feel with a relatively small number of tables, so it can be a bit low on atmosphere. The quality of ingredients and cooking make this a great foodie experience. The cheese souffle was outstanding - the taste of the cheese really came through. The portion size is generous and there are some interesting, creative flavour combinations, with local fish always on the menu/specials. With the option of paying corkage to bring your own wine, this was a reasonably priced place for dinner. If you are a complete glutton the rum baba is not to be missed. If you are not staying in the village, you can park in the village square (out of high season).

We decided to try The Greenhouse after many years of driving past.

We have eaten here several times. Each time we return to Coverack we come here to eat. Wonderful at all times of the year. The food is seasonal and locally sourced. Fish dishes great and my husband loves the meat dishes. Puddings delicious especially the liquorice ice cream when on the menu. Lovely local beers and soft drinks. Can't wait to return to what is our favourite restaurant.

Small, cosy restaurant in St Keverne. The menu is interesting with some good fish dishes and nice that it is a BYO, the owner is also very friendly and welcoming. The food was of a good quality, just quite large portion sizes. The restaurant is a little dated on the outside and tables are quite close together but there is a buzzy atmosphere in the restaurant.

Team of 2 run this fabulous restaurant where the meals are to die for. Friends we were staying with took us there one evening and what a lovely evening it was. Excellent service, friendly welcome and adieu, some of the best belly pork I have ever had (I have had a lot!) My wife had a souffle that was apparently amazing, wine I am informed = good (I don't drink) puddings mouth watering. Third time I have been and it never fails. One of my favourite restaurants. Thank you both for creating such magic.

Our second visit here and just as wonderful as before. Beautifully cooked sea bream and a tarragon soufflé to die for, followed by a delightful mango pavlova and strawberry cheesacake. The descriptions do not do justice to how good these dishes were. It's cooking of high class in unpretentious surroundings, worth a 500 mile round trip.

Having both worked in a hotel and restaurant we are generally fairly critical when we eat out. In this case however there was very little if anything to complain about. We choose something different for all three courses and found that all the dishes were well presented, tasty and the right size, neither too big nor too large. We are not big eaters but managed (just about) three courses. Our food had a slight Mediterranean twist with some Asian thrown in and was all the better for it in our opinion. If you are down here on holiday and can only find the time to eat out once then this is a safe bet and will not let you down. The owners seem to have the machine well oiled, the service was not quick (or slow) but then why should it be. Good food takes time to prepare. We will definitely go back, but will have to book, this is not the sort of place where you can just turn up and expect to find a table, at least not in the busy season. It appears to have a good local following as well as us tourists. In summary we have eaten at several Michelin starred placed in the past (more by luck than design), and this matches up in terms of food and probably excels in terms of satisfaction at the end of the night.

We were staying nearby in Porthoustock and happened upon the Greenhouse and the word Wow says it all. We were a party of five and wanted somewhere special for our last night away, the food was simply divine. Four of us could not resist the Ruby Red Devon beef skirt plate and the other dish was a spring onion and cheddar souffle. My description will not do any justice but my recommendation will - if you are looking for a warm welcome with great hosts and stunning food you must try and get a table here.
