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.

Ced’s Bagels Porthleven. Salmon & cream cheese bagel better than Brick Lane. Reuben's bagel better than Katz Deli NYC. So glad we found it !!

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

Went last night for dinner at 6pm, already 3 tables seated. We sharedgarl8cbread to start which was delicious. Hubby had the Hake and said it was delicious, I had the chicken breast which was divine. Only downside was the noise level.

We’re visiting Cornwall for a week in November and discovered this little gem on our first day. Located just 10 minutes from where we’re staying, we will definitely be back every day for the rest of our trip. The staff were friendly, cheerful, and so very helpful, and the food was outstanding. We tried the “Crabby Crab and Scallop Bollocks,” which was absolutely delicious with a perfect little kick! The scallops were fresh, cooked just right and full of flavor. The setting, right by the harbour, was just gorgeous. We enjoyed our meal by the bar, surrounded by the sounds of birds, the fresh sea air, the warmth from the wood-burning stoves and the smell of burning logs. Eating our food whilst looking out to the harbour and the blue sky made the experience even more special. They also have outdoor heating too, for those who like a bit of extra warmth. If you love seafood like I do, this place is a MUST-VISIT! Just across the road from the car park, you can’t miss it :)

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 🥰

A fantastic experience! Lovely views of the harbour with a very modern and fresh interior. We had two small plates plus one main, which were all served nice and quick. The Kai Fried Chicken was delicious with lots of sauce, the Pork Belly Bao Bun had a tasty char-grilled flavour and finally the Crab Roll was fresh and full of flavour. The coffee was also well presented and of a high quality. Super friendly and accommodating staff rounded the experience off perfectly, highly recommended!

The cafe is situated on the far side of the harbour, close to the Ship Inn. The view from our window table was lovely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had a slice of the lemon drizzle cake which delicious, and big! We will visit again for lunch when the reopen after some decoration. Check the internet for opening times.

Brilliant fish and chips shop, consistently delicious, lovely friendly staff, great chilled atmosphere. Always our go to 😊

3 of us had a different pizza each All enjoyed and what I left was booked up to take home Reasonably priced and they also do takeaway

I visited this lovely little cafe whilst on a family holiday, where we treated ourselves to a cake and coffee. Being gluten free it can be very difficult to find cafes that cater for dietary requirements however this cafe was a delight! They had a variety of delicious cakes that were gluten free and also offered a range of gluten free cream teas! So if you’re like me and have a sweet tooth, I highly recommended this quaint little cafe. I will be definitely making another trip back!

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.

Had a takeaway pizza whilst on holiday…. OMG! Not just the best pizza ever but the whole experience…. Gorgeous friendly staff, exceptional service, totally affordable & perfect in every way…. These guys have got it right! We loved it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
