The best restaurants in Penryn East and Mylor Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Had the most amazing trip for my 70th birthday. A real treat from my children. We had afternoon tea which was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for the girls. Even the weather was on our side. Would have no hesitation in recommending this boat to everyone.

We visited on Monday 12th August. Before setting out I checked their website which said opens at 11.30. We arrived 12.15 only to find it was all shut up. We weren't the only ones to arrive and be disappointed. Not a good way to run a business.

Really lovely food … friendly staff .. tucked away restaurant treat . Had kofte meatballs in a rich spicy tomato sauce .. absolutely beautiful.. amazing flavour … others had prawn curry with tasty rice & flat bread .

This place never disappoints! I love the interesting pizza choices and starters. The staff are wonderful and bend over backwards to be helpful. This is a real gem!

Lovingly prepared heritage food from Sham and Alexa. A fusion of flavours from Gujarati, Ugandan and Western family recipes, beautifully presented. I urge anybody in the Falmouth / Penryn locality and beyond to delight and mesmerise their tastebuds. Excellent pricing and wonderfully friendly hosts.

I love this place. The staff are super friendly, the cafe is really chilled and the food is great. Hands down best avo on toast I’ve ever had and the burritos are EPIC!

What a find! We will be going again as food and service were excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice to see something a little different on the menu. 10 out of 10.

Very disappointed with vegetarian breakfast - greasy and far too expensive - will not visit this cafe again.

Excellent food with reasonable prices lovely pub and garden.

Traditional Fish and Chip shop that serve a wide range of fried fish and other seafood, burgers, chicken, etc.

We took friends who are on holiday here. The service was excellent. The staff were fun and so efficient. Seating was brilliant. The food absolutely fantastic. Can't recommend the restaurant enough. Rosie and Rolly Hallett

Delicious dinner at the Waterside this evening. The food was spectacular and the service wonderfully friendly and attentive (as always!) Thank you!

Excellent Sunday lunch - third time we’ve been now and cannot recommend highly enough. Fabulous food, excellent setting and the staff are great! Will be back again!!

A proper Sunday roast with a view—what more could you want? Castaways at Mylor Harbour delivered on all fronts this weekend. The roast beef was beautifully cooked, served with all the trimmings, and the service was warm and friendly. My husband was equally delighted with his mussels—fresh, full of flavour, and a real treat. To top it off, I indulged in a delicious French red, served at just the right temperature—a rare but thoroughly enjoyable treat. With such a lovely setting and something for everyone on the menu, it’s no surprise we couldn’t fit in a pudding (next time - because they looked lovely!). Highly recommend for a relaxed meal with great food, great service, and stunning harbour views.

Disappointing food from what is usually served. Felt like corners had been cut. My halloumi wrap was mostly lettuce with one very small slice of stone cold straight from the fridge halloumi. Family member had a chicken ceasar wrap with the tiniest bit of chicken and a LOT of lettuce. It wasn't good. A few crisps on the side. Other family member had a breakfast and items were missing! I have eaten here many times over the years and have never had a bad meal. I always recommend to everyone. Times are really hard for hospitality but customers going away feeling short changed is not the answer. Hoping this was just a one off bad day.
