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.

We’ve visited the Ugly Butterfly three times now over the past four years with the latest visit in November 2024. The food was stunning and the service excellent every time … which has kept us coming back, and we’ll be back again! We’ve enjoyed their vegan version of their Chef’s menu and on one occasion, dined with another couple who were having the standard option (so they’ll mix and match dietary requirements on the table). Lovely setting and the restaurant is very spacious. We even took the dog on the latest visit and she was welcomed. A great place for a treat or to celebrate something special. Highly recommend it!

Take away only this time of year. Legendary fish and chips! One minor grumble this visit, batter a bit soggy.

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 .

Great food and staff, shame several things were missing from the menu as they were closing the next day.

Superb food and excellent service for a special occasion dinner thank you. We would definitely recommend visiting if staying in Carbis Bay or near by

After a november walk with the dogs on the beach , we popped into the deli. We were welcomed Into this beautiful Cafe by a lady called maxine. I would like to say a special thank you to her for making us so welcome. And spoiling the dogs. We, were lucky enough to be renting a house close by, And this beautiful coffee shop was our go to after a cold walk on the beach. Looks great smells great and has fantastic coffee and hot chocolate. See you again next year!!!!!

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
