The best restaurants in Lelant and Carbis Bay Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Incredible. My wife and I shared our wedding anniversary dinner here, simply excellent. The mushroom Gnocchi and short rib / hake tacos were highlights

Good choice of drinks, excellent pizza!

First night of holiday we decided on Becks for takeaway fish and chips. We made a good choice. Haddock and cod were wonderful. Not greasy, perfect amount of batter and cooked to order. Chips were also very nice. Great service by friendly people too. Highly recommend.

Oh wow the food just kept on coming. This was absolutely stunning. Every mouthful exploding with flavours. The pea soup and the lamb were my favourite. Stunning setting, beautiful surroundings. We also paired with the wine tasting course and it did not disappoint. Lovely flavours to compliment each course. This evening was a real treat and if your able to book a table you will not be disappointed

Love this place. Always visit whenever in Cornwall. Can be busy but this is a good sign. If eating in be sure to write your name in the book on far side of the bar, this will ensure speedy service (they do not take bookings). This is truly a family run business with the head of house taking pride even though she is in her golden years. Best fish and chips in Cornwall

An excellent choice for our lunch with friends. Beautifully appointed and a lovely lounge area on arrival which is ideal for pre-lunch drinks and menu browsing. The menu was excellent and we were able to have some starters as mains and vice versa to accommodate our appetites. The food was fantastic and very good quality. One of our group commented that the mussels were possibly the best he had ever tasted. A good selection of beers, wines and spirits accompanied the menu perfectly and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

Fabulous vegetarian restaurant. Even my hubby who eats meat was a bit reticent about coming here… however he loved the food and revisited with me. Lovely menu, food is delicious and service is good .

Though not the cheapest it's still great value for that authentic Spanish Tapas

As we were staying in Carbis Bay (and having already really enjoyed The Ugly Butterfly) we chose to visit Walter's as well. Booking by telephone was easy and I was impressed that the person taking our booking asked about dietary requirements. We were, however, less impressed when we arrived at the restaurant and the staff appeared both disinterested to see us AND confused by being asked what for a gluten free menu for my wife. It took several minutes for them to manually mark up a menu with a pen to indicate what was gluten free, something we would expect to be ready at a venue in this price range. The food itself was very nice, which is the rescuing factor for this review, but when we pay this sort of price for food we also expect a nice ambience and friendly welcome. This contrast is made especially clear by our having eaten at both adjacent restaurants during the same stay (Beach Club and Ugly Butterfly) where both the staff and the vibes could not have been more friendly, welcoming and fun. We would not choose to return to this restaurant with both these alternatives being only a matter of metres away.

A lovely cafe on the beach at Carbis Bay. Excellent flat white and lovely choice of cakes, we enjoyed the cinnamon bun - delicious. The staff were very friendly and the music inside is good. We sat outside where there is loads of seating and great views. The beach parking is £10, but it’s cheaper up the hill. Easy to get here by train. Very hilly back to the top car parks.

Absolutely delicious food, terrible customer service. Found plastic in a sandwich on one occasion, multiple egg shells in a breakfast sandwich on another occasion. Then on another business lunch a colleague had a tomato and basil sandwich that turned out to be tomato and mint. Was told to “come back on Saturday for replacement” when the cafe closed for the forseeable future that very saturday. Plastic and eggshells in sandwich never addressed in comminication. Such a shame the service standards were so poor. One lady was absolutely brilliant and was let down by the other staff members. Either way would love to see the Cafe open for food soon. Not least for a replacement sandwich for my colleague!

We held our wedding reception here on Tuesday 25th June. We were a small Wedding party of 14 people and I am pleased to say that the food was of excellent quality. Quantities were also substantial - steaks, fish, vegetables, dessert... and accompanying sauces were delicious. I am a Coeliac and they were able to accommodate me and provide me with plenty of choice. I cannot recommend this restaurant any more than by saying it offers as good a dining experience as you will find in the St Ives, Carbis Bay, Penzance area. To be rated number 3 in Lelant is ridiculous. I would put it at number 1 in the whole area. You can check some of my other reviews in this area for good comparison.

We booked our table in advance which seemed wise as the place was fairly busy - we ate at 6:45 and so at that time there were a few families around with children. Everything was lovely and we enjoyed delicious pizzas, an exquisite desert, lovely coffee…the wood fired oven is of course a great asset as everything tastes and smells great. We also felt certain that we were eating good quality food made from wholesome ingredients. The whole facility was spotlessly clean and the staff paid attention to detail. We encountered three different waitresses who were all polite, friendly and welcoming. We were glad we chose to eat here and will come back!

Usually stay in the Gannet Inn, sea view upgrade for the Gannet House became available - so glad we took it. The room, views, and service were all outstanding.

very average food which is very highly priced. Its not casual dining of nice food or casual dining of good food. Its casual dining of moderate food without much atmosphere and only a couple of tables have a good view
