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.

Situated in a great spot next to The Shipyard Market, which is great for people watching. People may look at the prices and think it’s too expensive for a bagel but they are rammed with fillings. We opted for 2 different flavours and had half each - both absolutely delicious and surprising filling. They are fantastic!

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

The cafe had a wonderfully varied menu, with all tastes and food needs catered for. The seating area was cheerful, clean and comfortable and seating was also available outside. We had stopped for a tasty lunch as we had skipped breakfast and opted for the Bubble and Sqeak with bacon, poached eggs and a side of avocado. Only downside was we were too full for cake. IT WAS SO GOOD 🥰. Will definitely visit again.

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!

Haven’t made it to Porthleven for a couple of years, but overjoyed to visit yesterday and grab lunch at The Mussel Shoal. You wait a while for your food, but it’s always worth it. I opted the Crispy Chilli Squid with Fries and a nice, locally brewed IPA. Absolutely amazing. Fresh, hot and full of flavour. Wonderful. I’ll try to get back before heading home on Friday. Need to have the Prawns. You will not be disappointed.

Delicious meal. New owner brings a new, interesting and very good menu. Will be going back for more

The best crab 🦀 sandwich I've ever eaten, staff are very friendly, lovely atmosphere. 🤩

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 🥰

We were quite a large party, 9 of us. Seating was quick. Service was good, the waitress admitted they were slightly understaffed which did show but this was not their fault and they were working extremely hard, so maybe an issue on managements part. The food was delicious, the Asian seafood fusion did work very well. The pork belly for main was delicious. The cocktails were lovely but would be nice to see more mocktails for the non drinkers. Toilets were slightly messy and not clean hence the slight drop, especially for price you are paying per head you expect a cleaner toilet. Views were lovely at sunset.

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.
