The best restaurants in Newlyn and Mousehole Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Whilst having a stroll around Mousehole we came upon the Orange Cafe Bar by chance with it being up a lane just away from the harbour. We did not immediately realise it was a vegan cafe but that was not an issue for us. The staff were warm and friendly, explaining the dishes so that we could make an informed choice. We went for the burger (patty) and cake, both of which were delicious. People often shy away from eating this type of food but on this showing they should give it a go, which saw two diners leave very happy.

This a a lovely little cafe in a beautiful setting with very friendly and helpful staff. I’ve given it 5 stars as I could see the quality of the meals coming out but I have to be honest and say that my friend and I had sandwiches, one white and one granary. Both of us, sadly, found the bread very dry with pretty much inedible crusts. The contents were really good but were a bit spoilt by the chef using margarine rather than butter. I do wish this didn’t happen as the sandwiches here and in many other places are quite pricey so you would think we could get butter? Anyway, we would go back but not for the sandwiches

We ordered pizzas for delivery when on holiday in Mousehole and really enjoyed them. The pepperoni was my favourite and the stone baked dough was excellent. The delivery was as promised and the service great. Highly recommended 😊

I was hungry for fish after visiting the fish market with my mate Rick. They didn't do fish. That speaks volumes.

Absolutely delicious food, great venue, lovely staff and excellent value. A hidden gem!! The crab croque (crab toastie) was sooo tasty!! And my mum loved her bacon, Brie and cranberry toastie. Can’t wait to go again - the cakes looked fab!

My friend is vegan and suggested this cafe. Very glad we went there. Good coffee, good cake, good atmosphere, great service!

I cycled to this café, one, day, I ordered, a nice sandwhich with a cup of tea, I would , recommend , this café to anybody, who, want, to eat, alfresco, I even had my very own table, with a nice, comfitable chair, all, the staff, were, so, polite and understanding, even , though, have got a disability

What a super venue, compact for sure but located overlooking the fishing village of Newlyn. 6 of us visited for breakfast. The menu has multiple offerings, proper coffee and the food was home cooked in both style and reality. We sat outside overlooking the 14thC quay with the fishing fleet as backdrop. The food was well cooked and tasty and good value, £40.10 for 8 coffees and 8 breakfast bacon or sausage and egg sandwiches, with choices of bread available. I note a full breakfast was a generous offering. Overall excellent and a great way to enjoy food with a view and help a charity too!

Superb plant based cafe in Mousehole. Amazing range of food and drinks. Good portions and delicious food. I had the sausage and cheese sandwich and shared it with my kids loaded fries. Lovely spot too. Nice indoors and outdoor seating options. There were 8 of us and service was good and all were happy! Even the non vegans among us! Thank you!

Having looked at the menu and not being a massive fan of fish dishes, I have put off eating here, particularly in light of the queues you generally see of people waiting to dine. My wife, on the other hand, does enjoy sea food, and as there was no queue, we gave it a go. The staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. The first waitress who attended us took our drinks order and explained the menu to us. They are small plates but larger than tapas style. Good for someone like me, who has little experience eating fish (other than battered) and might like to try something new. To order, you mark your selection on the menu and hand it over to a waitress. It is a process I hadn't come across before but works very well. I had scallops and mackerel, and my wife tried the battered cod and prawns. We also had sides of chips and new potatoes. All the dishes were nicely presented and very tasty. The staff checked on us several times, and the interactions between themselves and the customers helped to make it a very comfortable and relaxed mid day meal. I will definitely return and would even queue (for a short while) for the same experience. I think I'll try the crab dish next time. It looked very appetising. In summary, it was well prepared, tasty food, served by good staff at a reasonable price.

Delicious vegetable pasties! So nice we came back the second day for two more. Genuine friendly staff too! We can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!

There’s a big difference between an establishment being dog tolerant and one that’s truly dog friendly and Duke Street Cafe is definitely the latter. So welcoming for dogs and humans, lovely coffee and kind staff. Thank you ❤️

This place is amazing. Loved the food and the atmosphere is just so relaxed.

It’s lovely, proper standards of service. Gluten free available, including Fish n Chips. Takeaway lunch’s available.
