Windjammer Cafe & Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

This place was very busy considering it was nearly 2p, which I always think is a good sign. The scallops were amazing but the salad was a letdown. The dressing or whatever it was, was unpleasantly sour. I don't know what it was so it's hard to describe but when you order a side salad I didn't expect it to be tainted with something so weird. Please serve it plain, or at least ask the customer if they want to try something unusual.

Had a delicious and fantastically presented captains breakfast with waffles for the lad, and it was all lovely. There was a great buzz about the place too on a Sunday morning with lots of folk and families all enjoying a cuppa or a bite to eat. Staff were great too, very attentive and on it, will defo return in future.

Cheery staff good helpings great location food was fresh and plentiful great view from balcony would certainly recommend to friends if visiting

Great service, good food and coffee - and the bonus of a pretty decent outside view on a surprisingly warm and sunny November breakfast visit. Bacon ciabatta was really good - surprisingly so. The cinnamon French toast was a little bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise no complaints .

Excellent breakfast, lovely views and very good service.

We visit Falmouth from East Sussex on a regular basis and always ensure we drop in here for a meal or two during our stay. In October we had dinner on a couple of occasions and have to say everything was excellent. The cleanliness of the venue, staff welcome, food & drink superb plus the menu is excellent. Windjammer in Falmouth goes from strength to strength and it is one of the best dinning establishments you can visit, be it breakfast lunch, dinner or a snack. On both our visits, we were served by Ellie who was brilliant and has excellent customer interaction; a real ambassador for the restaurant. We are visiting again in December and have already booked a dinner reservation. See you then :-)

The view is amazing . Very dog inclusive . Quick getting things out . Would recommend

We had breakfast here yesterday, it was absolutely yummy and I’m a harsh critic so for me to say that is a real compliment. In fact the standard breakfast was actually too much for my son in law to finish and he has an extremely hearty appetite, I’ve never seen him leave something on his plate in about 10 years! My granddaughter (6) polished off her huge pancake with gusto. All ingredients were top quality.

Nice, friendly staff, and early evening, it was quiet. The reserved tables were obviously for later diners. The food is okay (Windjammer burger) albeit very smokey.

Nice place, love the lights and feel. Food is great for price point. Cocktails are very reasonable.

We have been there many times it's always friendly and you get served very quickly. The staff go out of they to make you feel welcome.

Amazing food never had better 5 stars

Great breakfast a good deal too

Great place for a quiet drink and to watch the boats come and go. We sat on the balcony overlooking the port, an afternoon with the last of the September sun. They do have heaters out there as well for the evenings. Just a nice place to be with good service

Disappointed after hearing and reading good reviews. Had to wait a long time for our drinks, and they arrived the same time as our food. I thought that the menu was limited and not good value for money. In effect we paid £130 for 4 meals and 4 drinks. I wouldn't go again.

The food was great, we had the Windjammer burgers, jummy! Cocktails were really good, and the staff was extremely friendly. We were in Falmouth for 4 days and ate here twice. If we were to return one day, this would be our OG 😊

Lovely place, great staff, food is excellent, served by Fay, a lovely girl who is just right for the job. family friendly and dog friendly, good atmsophere.

I always come here for the windjammer brunch, with pancakes and fried eggs. The seats on the balcony overlooking the harbour are the best spots to sit rain or shine.

All very nice and great views of harbour

Just called on the of chance and got a dog friendly table inside. The food was really good and service excellent.

Great place, Except,s dogs. Been here many times and can't fault it. 👍 Still a Great Place had breakfast today ☺️

Captains breakfast more like Admiral buffet, nice touches on the sausage and hog pudding. All very good quality and plentiful

I’m 51 and have had a few breakfasts in my time and therefore feel qualified to say the Windjammer Brunch was the best restaurant breakfast I have had (full stop) Everything was perfect- well done

Lovely little cafe, food and staff were excellent. Great with kids and large groups we were 8 persons. Seafood platter is beautiful as are the mussels! The kids loved the Oreo Donut sandwich! Fresh and Friendly!

Got the captain's breakfast, was absolutely amazing, huge portions and friendly staff and good atmosphere and view, hogs pudding was also great!

Great restaurant and bar overlooking the harbour. Menu has a great selection, food was delicious and prices weren't too high. Service was fast and staff were friendly. Dog friendly.

Had some lovely meals here, the smoked chicken and brisket are great

Visited 08.24, really good establishment, very friendly staff with great customer service and dog friendly, we had a pint of Korev lager, ice cream and a cream tea, all good quality, we sat on the balcony overlooking the harbour, will visit again 😀

Hands down some of the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had. Rest of the food was also good but the tenders with the Cajun mayo was fantastic. Staff were really nice, and were accommodating of us being an indecisive yet needy group.

We had our wedding meal with our families here. The food was delicious as usual. The staff were amazing serving 20 people all at the same time. They used our decorations to make it look beautiful and it certainly did. Couldn't thank them enough for all of their hard work. Highly recommend The Windjammer 😁😍

Visited a few times over three days, all at different times of day and were always met with friendly staff and good service. We had a lovely bottle of wine on the terrace at the back, overlooking the harbour. We also had a fantastic breakfast. I branched out and went for the huevos rancheros and was very happy that I did.

Good service, poor quality food, beer halls surroundings, low value

Really excellent place to go. Delicious food and the service was wonderful....really looked after us. Will definitely be back

Fist time we went was excellent. Second time we came took an eternity to be given a menu, for drinks order to be taken, for drinks to be brought to us - we could see them on the bar waiting and I was very tempted to go and get them myself but my teenagers persuaded me not to- and ages to get our food order taken. Quite a wait for good to be brought out. Third time we went was very much a repeat of the previous time, sadly, as the food is very nice. We were seated, had drinks order taken (eventually) and the drinks delivered to our table before we were told it’s a 40 min wait on food. By which time we were all getting hangry and it was lunchtime rush everywhere do we just stayed put. Unfortunately, having given them a second chance to be quicker at serving and it being the same pace, we won’t be going back. Staff are very friendly but too few of them. Food is lovely just takes too long to get it. Views are gorgeous. If you have plenty of time on your side, give it a try. If not, avoid.

Mixed review on food. My chicken was slightly dry but other 2 meals were spot on. Service was good and fast decent price for what we had

Very tasty burgers, the Guinness was also tasty. The view of the harbor is great.

A lovely cafe. Bubble & squeak with eggs Benedictine very scrummy Great menu , reasonable prices excellent chef

I went to The Winjammer four times in one week , once either a friend for lunch once for evening meal. Once for breakfast and once.for coffee, staff ate friendly food is good and lovely views across the water The place is kept very clean and I am looking forward on coming back in 2025. Thank You Winjammer for an amazing experience

My husband and l had breakfast was delicious staff were fantastic very clean was our fourth visit still as good as first time well done to all your staff they are a credit to you mr & Mrs Rose

Very nice staff, attentive and quick service. They accommodated our request for no yolk in our eggs which was appreciated. Great breakfast venue!

Chose to eat at this restaurant on our final night in Cornwall/England before heading back to the States. A wonderful meal, complemented by a beautiful harbor view on a lovely summer evening in July. What a way to close out a once-in-a-lifetime vacation!

We have had a lovely dinner with nice view! I want to say huge thanks to the manager. She is a star! I left my vanity bag in the restaurant on my way back to Exeter. I realised it when I arrived in Exeter and it was late night. Obviously there is no one at the restaurant. I have my valuable things in it. But the manager found my details and texted me back that they keep it safe❤️ Would recommend 10/10!

We ate in the Windjammer twice on our recent holiday of Cornwall and would highly recommend the food, drink & service. The Windjammer burger meal was delicious and a large portion with beef, pulled pork, southern fried chicken and bacon The cocktails I am told were very good and the draught beer was on point Worth a visit

After many a time of walking past this wonderful cafe, we at last went in to try it and were not disappointed. We only wanted something light, so my friends ordered a bacon and sausage ciabatta and I ordered the small portion of mussels with a side dish of fries. All the food was absolutely delicious and good portion sizes. The cafe has great views overlooking the harbour and if you want, you can sit on stools at a bar outside. A good choice of alcohol and soft drinks. The staff were efficient and friendly. Thank you so much Freya for being a thoughtful and amiable server. Will definitely return!

Fabulous food, great views and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Never been to this place all the time coming to Falmouth. Took a look and was very surprised, great service and food. Place was nice, simple but interesting decor, good views of harbour.

The most amazing french toast with a stunning view of the harbour! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Came for lunch - service was good and food was very nice. Good number of options on the menu. Only criticism is that the burgers (6oz) come slightly pink in the middle, not an issue if you're expecting it and don't mind, but I didn't see anything on the menu about it nor asked if I'd like it that way by the waiter. Minor thing is that the burger buns were a bit crumbley so made it a rather messy eat!

We had a lovely lunch! My boyfriend had the chicken burger and I had the pulled brisket tacos which were amazing! I will definitely be having these again! My boyfriend enjoyed his burger and said the chips were great! The staff were very friendly and we were served quickly!

Had a yummy burger that had awesome brisket on it. We came back the next night just for the brisket but after the busy sea shanty weekend it wasn’t available. Had chicken wings instead and they were so good we ordered another lot. Good beer, great service, lovely outdoor seating options and good music. If we lived in Falmouth this would be our local.

We were there for the Sea Shanty, and the food was excellent.

Really enjoyed our meal here - all of the meals we had were great and the service was excellent. Very friendly and welcoming staff and really nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Great food and reasonably priced

Had great cake and beers there. Lunch time great atmosphere. The food in evening not so dynamic I've had better ready meals 😔

Ordered the chicken thighs, they were horrible, dry, burnt and tough pretty inedible and at £17 not cheap. I was shocked anyone would serve such poor quality food. Other food we ordered was ok fish and chips, burger and breakfast average. The atmosphere was good and service friendly. If I came again I would just have a drink overlooking the harbour and not bother with the food.

Burgers to die for. Absolutely delicious. Sat outside watching harbour . Lovely

Great food, large portions and great service 👍

Only had a coffee, but the food looked amazing, and we will be going back to try it one day soon.

Always good, always a friendly welcome.

Great view of the marina. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We had good service during our visit

Sat on the balcony watching the sunset over the harbour... Had the loaded fries with chilli beef 😋 but why wasn't I warned it was a massive serving .... I was so stuffed ...

Food not great. Girl who served us was friendly. Breakfast was ok but the half a chicken was awful- strange flavour on it that covered the chips too. No one came to see if anything was ok so didn’t have an opportunity to let them know. When we mentioned it when paying they didn’t seem to care and said ‘well let them know’ (whoever they are?). The chicken didn’t get eaten. They were pretty stingy with the extra sad sausage- £2 extra for the smallest bit. The waitress said that’s how it comes when I questioned it. Would maybe go back for drinks as nice views out the back but food was overpriced for what it is and I would avoid the chicken.

Amazing French toast and wonderful views!

Very good. Food and service excellent

Great food, great view, great staff! Will defo go again

Really amazing service here from Lauren: she immediately welcomed us as we came through the door, took a booking, gave us a lovely table with a good view and bought 2 water bowls for our dogs: she could not have been more attentive.

service can be a bit slow on busy days but that’s no fault of the servers, the food is delicious and the sea front views are amazing.

Awful! This is the third (and last) visit. Mid Saturday morning, only six other people there. We waited 17 minutes for tea/coffees. When we finally got our brunch orders they were luke warm to say the least. My friend has poached egg on avo, which was so strongly flavoured with chilli it was inedible. Never Again!

Lovely place, great service and very relaxed.

Really good laid back atmosphere and fab views. Really lovely salads and smoked meats. Light and tasty local ales.

We had a booking last evening 2nd April 24. The staff where very friendly, however when we asked if we could have a desert no the kitchen closed. Very disappointing and that's 4 deserts you didn't sell Having been given our main courses the next time anyone came over was to say last orders at the bar . 9pm ?? Disappointing service and not the service we have had in the past. We left and when for drinks elsewhere feeling we probably will not return.

Enjoyed my first visit to Windjammer cafe and have to say my food was outstanding, lovely staff as well. Thought service was a bit slow, but it was all worth it as my ribs were fantastic,the smell and taste were amazing. I will be back.

Amazing, friendly staff. It’s in a good location with a stunning view out the back. Food was delicious and even the dogs were fed! Will certainly be returning :)

Excellent food and pleasant service. Daughter loved the churros. Lovely view of the harbour side will return in summer

We went to the Windjammer last Summer and it was great. The food was nice and it was an all round amazing place to dine. The staff were amazing and even offered some water and treats for our dog.

Fantastic place, nice little patio over looking the harbour. Food and service was A1 Thanks

Quicky seated by friendly staff. Great views over the harbour. Menu has a good selection, and some different dishes to the normal standard. Had the Windjammer Brunch with pancakes. It was delicious, high quality food, and filled me up nicely.

Fantastic food complimented with excellent and friendly service from Jess. I ordered the chicken burger. Would eat here again!

We went to Falmouth for a day trip. We called in to Windjammer for lunch. I am allergic to garlic and mushrooms, having explained this the staff they went out of their way to check everything to make sure I could eat safely. The rest of our group really enjoyed their burgers and fish and chips too. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Windjammer team.

Fantastic food! The ultimate burger really lived up to its name! Jess’ service was fantastic. Always had a smile and was up for a giggle :) thank you!

Had a lovely first visit. Great service and yummy, freshly cooked food. Portion size very good. Enjoyed a lovely berry mocktail too. Great view of the harbour in a chilled, airy space. Will be back🤗

Warm friendly greetings, an extensive menu with so many choices but truly excellent food, combined with fabulous views across the harbour, the Windjammer has it all.

Lovely food Very friendly staff Thank you we will be back xx

Recently went to this restaurant after being a few times before, i ordered ribs as previously i ordered a burger and wanted something different. I ordered the bbq ribs (assuming they would be tender, saucy and fall off the bone) but no, they was the complete opposite, they was the most dry, unflavoured and non meaty ribs i have ever had. id say there was more bone than actual meat. the staff was also very quiet and they seemed to be under staffed. I would not recommend this restaurant as a whole as it also had a weird atmosphere all together.

Amazing Team Great Value, Great Food. We booked only 2 days before for 16 people They were so accommodating, helpful, friendly Food was amazing, big portions, well worth a visit

I Ordered the chicken burger Disappointing! The brioche bun was burnt The bacon, potato rosti and cheese were all stuck together and rock hard Chips were underwhelming The chicken and slaw was nice enough but nothing special I can't fault the portion as it was very generous but I ended up leaving alot as it just wasn't very nice. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I've eaten twice before and the food was much better on those previous visits

Great little place a friendly efficient hard working people. Portions big and very tasty. Thank you guy . Excellent 👍🏻

We only stopped for a coffee and sat out on the covered balcony to take in the sea air harbour view. Friendly and efficient service at a reasonable price.

What a little gem of a place! The food was out of this world. We had the mussels and salt and pepper squid for starter. Mouthwatering!! The mains were also delicious with the smoked brisket and the vegan option of beetroot and mushroom wellington. Blown away! Not had such a lovely meal in a long time! Valentine's day too! Delicious food! The service was great. Freya, the waitress was really attentive. Many thanks.

Booked into the Windjammer for Valentine's night as a treat for the wife. Have never been here before and was a little nervous but how wrong was I! Fantastic cocktails and food was out of this world - really tasty and reasonably priced given the occasion. Main take away though was the attitude of the staff - really impressed with the attention that our waitress Freya gave to make sure that our evening was just perfect. Was blown away that they also has a dog menu so our pooch could eat with us too! In Falmouth for a few nights so aiming to come back for the Friday night cocktails special - this place is not to be missed!!

Had the loveliest time today for pancake day, had a special pancake menu with a huge variety of different things we could have. They were still serving regular meals so some of us didn’t have pancakes. They waitress was so accommodating and anything she didn’t know she told us and checked with the kitchen if she had the slightest doubt. She was more than happy to sort out lemon and sugar for my pancakes as they weren’t on the menu and was really nice to the baby. The portion sizes are generous and the food was all great. Definitely will be coming back next time we go to Cornwall!

Great food , lovely staff. Will return 👍

Called in for a coffee and drinks but stayed for the Wednesday Burger and a Pint for £12 offer. Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff. Fay was the main one who served us. Attentive without being in your face all the time, so a nice relaxed meal. Cheeseburgers, chips and slaw excellent as was the vegan burger. Our son is vegetarian, not vegan, so had real cheese added to his burger. Cheesy garlic bread very nice to. Would also like to recommend the St Ives Brewery Meor ale served with the meal. Delicious. Can also have soft drink with burgers.

Popped in for brunch and had a lovely bacon ciabatta. Requested the bacon to be extra crispy and it was stunning. Sat outside over looking the water with the heater on. Soo nice. Attentive waitress too, nothing was too much trouble and food and drinks were fab. Thank you! 🥓

got a brunch burger and a double espresso. the service was TOP NOTCH, when i say top notch i mean top notch. my servers i think gina and lauren they were called? went above and beyond for me and my friends. the quality of the food was impeccable and you can tell it was made with love and care. will definitely be returning! thank you windjammer for your memorable food and environment!

Really good food at a reasonable price. Grab a window seat for a fabulous view over to Flushing.

Our favourite restaurant when visiting Falmouth. Their full Cornish Breakfast is the best I have had, and very good value for money. It does get busy, so at busy times or a large party, it’s best to book ahead. Good customer service.

A brilliant location, great service and amazing food. Can't wait to go back!

Could not fault the meal. Chips were lovely. Mussels t really good. Macaroni cheese yummy. Very friendly staff. Smiling and helpful. Proactive. We will be back.

Nice place not too pricey. Had breakfast on a busy Saturday service was a little slow you definitely had to make a lot of effort to catch waitresses eyes but would go back.
