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.

Fantastic fresh seafood served with passion and fun. Zephyr was great as we're the ladies cooking. Well be back.

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 🥰

It’s just too expensive to be this average. The food was fine but we seriously considered paying less than the exorbitant prices. There were also minor issues front of house like not having a table cloth, having paper napkins, not having our unnecessary cutlery cleared away once we’d ordered. I didn’t get a steak knife with my steak, but as it turned out, it was tender enough not to need one and delicious. It’s just a bit weirdly off the mark somehow. There is kind of a half open kitchen area and I saw the chief sniffing the raw steaks before deciding which one to give me, which is weird to see. The balance of protein, vegetables and carbohydrates on the dishes we had was all over the place. I think they’re probably very skilled chiefs but they’re maybe too innovative? I’d give it a wide berth, at those prices, until they’ve got more feedback and honed it more. I apologise to the owner for this review. I’m sure you crave potential to be a lot better. Go and visit some really well renowned restaurants; keep your menu simple; reduce your prices or make the front of house match the expectation. Sorry.

Really great food and the service was excellenf too. The laksa and massaman curry were particularly good.

A superb, friendly and relaxed cafe situated in the lovely harbour area of Porthleven. In the summer lots of outdoor seating us available. Inside it's cosy with a good range of hot food available. Good service, friendly staff and dog friendly.

Managed to catch them tonight before they closed. The lovely staff couldn’t be nicer…One lady came in on closing and had a right flouncy strop due to them closing and not having any chips left…They were polite and recommended their competitors up the road…off she stormed! People are just so rude!….Anyway, the Fish, chips, sausage, peas and curry sauce were all top grade! The curry sauce was the best I’ve tried locally! I’ll be back, great staff, good product!

Brilliant venue for breakfast. Staff very helpful with gluten free vegan options. Excellent location with a lovely view too!!

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

Overpriced for tiny sized drinks, £3.70 for a minuscule latte and very very unfriendly. Croissants nice but again massively overpriced. Caters only for trendy affluent types only.

A wonderful place! We found this place on the last day of our holiday, which was such a shame as we would have loved to go back! The pizza (which was the special that day) was amazing (we had the BBQ pulled pork). They were happy to make a slightly smaller one for my son to have by himself, which was lovely too. The fresh produce looked really good, there was so much to choose from. All the tables were occupied at the time, so we got our food to go, but nevertheless, the service was fantastic and the staff were ever so friendly. Would absolutely recommend!

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.
