The best restaurants in Padstow Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Lovely creamy ice cream. Big portions for the money as well, great selection of flavours. Staff helpful just watch out for the seagulls!!

We had a family celebration party nearby and first got to taste the pasties at Constantine Bay café the day before the party, then at the party itself ( several varieties, including vegetarian, chicken and meat) and then again the next day when we bought more to take home away from Cornwall. Superb tasting fillings, and pastry, just no comparison with supermarket offerings.

Lovely spot to stop, shop and refuel! Great coffee and gorgeous cakes! You can just about get away from the crowds here, worth venturing away from the middle of Padstow, just on edge of shop area, perfect for walkers coming off coast path at Padstow from Hawkers Cove!

Sat out on the deck with great views out to the headland to have a late lunch. Staff very helpful and friendly. 'Dog friendly' outside on the deck (not inside, which is understandable). Service excellent, food quick and of good quality. Will definitely return! Absolutely no complaints!!!

Second year at the Venue. Good value food. Amazing friendly staff who remembered us from last year. Thank you Gary, Aaron and Sam for looking after us and making our holiday enjoyable. Extremely dog friendly could recommend it enough!! See you next year!!

Busy pub on harbour front. Inside and outside seating available.

Best, fist sized scones in Cornwall! Ideal temperature of clotted cream melting into your jam. Eat two, I dare you!

It’s worth browsing the reviews of Embers before placing an order—not because they’re wildly inconsistent, but because a clear pattern emerges. And it’s not one the place seems eager to correct. There are, to be fair, plenty of people who’ve had a good experience. When it works, it works, artisan bases, decent toppings, the kind of pizza that scratches the right itch. But what stands out, time and again, is the front of house. Not rude exactly, but distinctly uninterested, as though they’re doing you a favour by taking your takeaway order. And the hour-long wait for three pizzas? Apparently fine. Normal, even. What tips that from forgivable to frustrating is what happens when something goes wrong. One of our pizzas was supposed to come with a soft-boiled egg. It arrived with no egg at all. After returning to point it out, the pizza was taken back, only to re-emerge minutes later with a refrigerated hard-boiled egg dumped on top. Stone cold. By that point, so was the pizza. When I mentioned it, the response was a casual “That’s the best we can do.” No apology, no fix, no sense that anyone cared. And that, really, is the issue. Not the mistake, but the indifference. So yes, plenty of people enjoy Embers when all goes to plan. But if it doesn’t, don’t expect much in the way of care or correction. Just a cold egg on a cold pizza—and a shrug.

Stopped for afternoon cake and cuppa. I always like doggy friendly scoff shops but this one has really nice staff, the cakes are very nice so what else can you ask for. Next time I'll be there for breakfast.

Nice evening, friendly staff food good and inexpensive Wigwams for bad weather but warm evening so dined outdoors Great

Used to be a great cafe within a local garden centre where you could guarantee a well cooked, reasonably priced meal. Not anymore!. Just paid £15.00 for undercooked approx 4 ounce burger with a slice of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of gherkin plus 'chips'. All food lukewarm. This is Cornwall, not Fitzrovia, and even though Mr Ramsay lives here for some of the year no excuse for charging same amount as we pay for a decent burger in his latest restaurant venture. I did ask the waitress to mention my complaints to the 'chef' but this fell on deaf ears. Will not be returning. You have been warned!

Such lovely food in a relaxed atmosphere. The majority of the food has a beautiful Spanish twist and is wonderful, the service is very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Some starters can be a little large so if you are aiming to get through to a sweet, be careful. Drinks are very reasonably priced.

Highly recommend the Bacon and egg sandwich with Rojano's own brown sauce and the avocado, egg and trout on granary. Messy but so worth it! The coffee was great too.

We stayed here for two nights over Easter. The hotel is well looked after and the design is really nice. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The location is fantastic. The only thing that I found a bit annoying is that they charge their hotel guests extra £10/night for parking.

Just had the most amazing meal at Reggie’s. The four of us had the small plates which are authentic Mumbai street food. Everything is based on home cooking not restaurant cooking and the dips/sauces are all home made with spices made by the owner’s Mother in India and shipped over. Everything is organic. We have Indian but nothing has been as good as this. Can’t wait to go back.
