The best restaurants in Porthleven and Helston South Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Popped in for breakfast this morning, coffee excellent, teacake superb, granola and yoghurt with fruit incredibly generous, toast perfect. We will be back. Thankyou.

3 of us had a different bagel for lunch and we all thought they were amazing, only wish we’d found them earlier on our hols!!

Visited in July and again at the end of September. Had the curry box and the wife had the Buddha box Both times a really good mix of flavours in each . Will definitely be back next time we are down in Cornwall

Ahh what a lovely place to go for a last day breakfast. Hot tasty locally sourced food and very reasonably priced👍 Hubby & eldest had a full English, the other son had huge bacon bap whilst l plumped for mushrooms/beans on brown toast all 👍👍👍. Lots of choice and takeaway offered can't wait to return for our May visit.

Called in for dinner tonight - had the meat pizza and the minced beef and red onion. Beautiful, two of the best pizzas we have had. Very well cooked, nice crunchy base and tasty toppings. Had butter and garlic dip along with chilli oil. Would definitely recommend!

It's really simple: don't waste your time or money on those 'celeb' restaurants in Porthleven. Go straight to the Mussel Shoal, order loads of mussels and beer, and sit outside in the sunshine. Beautiful views of the harbour for free... 😎🌞♥️

Ate here when on a week's holiday in Cornwall. The food was excellent. They do small plates here as well as normally sized mains, this suited me well as I usually can't eat a full sized dish. I thought the wine was expensive for what it was. The vineyards were less common than the usual ones we see here and that may be the reason.

Came down from London with my husband on holiday. Discovered this little gem! Geo was very friendly, informational and a delight. His coffee was excellent and a pleasure to be served by. Thank you Geo

What a fabulous hidden gem! Food was so tasty and served really quickly and massive portions… it’s a shame we’re leaving for home today as would absolutely eat here again and again! Everything on the menu sounds delicious. I had nachos with pulled pork and my partner had the nacho burger. 10/10 🥰

Had a fabulous meal here. It's was the last meal of our week in Cornwall and definitely the best meal out!

THE best cakes full stop! Dropped in late afternoon Wednesday 23/4/25 for tea and cake. Attentive and happy staff, great music along with a good welcome. Nice atmosphere.

Always been best fish and chips and lovely eat outside if guard from the seagulls lol

We had a very enjoyable meal here. The pizzas were delicious and a good size. The service provided by Fred and the team was exceptional - we were made to feel very welcome and the birthday 'extras' were greatly appreciated. Thank you! We can thoroughly recommend the pizza restaurant :-)

Wow ! A lovely meal and plenty of it . Absolutely delicious. And the staff were lovely .. having a laugh and doing their job ! Impressed with porthleven .. friendly staff ! Rare these days

End of lockdown, so everywhere was rammed or had huge queues. We waited about 20 mins for this and it was really unusual and absolutely delicious! We had a large Fishermans Basket and dirty fries to share, plenty of food for two.
