The best restaurants in Roseland Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

We were very warmly welcomed into this lovely restaurant and made to feel welcome & valued from start to finish. This feels like an authentic Italian experience right here in Cornwall. The food is exceptional and Ugo and his staff make great efforts to ensure you enjoy yourself. The menu offered a limited but ample selection and we were not disappointed. Generous portions and incredibly tasty food. The lemon Tiramisu was the best dessert we have ever tasted! Along with lovely wine and topped off with a beautiful Limoncello. We will definitely be back. Grazie mille.

We thought this bakery provided one of the best coffees we have ever tasted. Very popular with visitors you can spot it easily as you arrive off the Falmouth ferry.

Lovely little Store . Great selection you are bound to find what you’re looking for. Very friendly people. Thanks 😊

Quality service. Friendly staff and very nice rustic vibe to the place, along with appropriate music. Had a lovely dinner at a very well done event “bike bight”. Lovely atmosphere.

Enjoyed a lovely visit today and was not disappointed, we usually travel to Cornwall every year to holiday and normally stop at Jamaica inn, we decided to stop at Miss V's today. Was sorry we missed out on the soup as we were a little early, but the savoury cream tea was lovely, the best cream cheese we have ever tasted, the tea was a lovely big pot with a generous jug of milk, not the small thimble we sometimes get. We took a couple cakes away with us, the pistachio & Orange was delicious, you can tell that high quality ingredients are used. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Such a shame closed to non residents for coffee or lunches

Lovely casual beach cafe. Nice ambience. Friendly staff. Good coffee, cakes and lunches available. Just above beautiful Towan beach. Dog friendly 👍🐶😊

We had another super evening here this year - great crowd pleasing food (18 of us) fab wine and wonderful to be able to sit outside and enjoy the 'Scatho sunset.

Good food at a fair price, the scampi wraps and the scampi and chips were well cooked, a good portion and very tasty with particularly good coffee.

The best! Always just so good every time you go there. Delicious, imaginative food, great variety and knowledgable staff serving. Fabulous location, good prices, if you don’t want to go to a pub this is the best food around to eat on the hillside next to it or down on the beach.

First class in every way. Lovely customer service, absolutely delicious bread rolls, yummy breakfast filling and delicious coffee. Perfect. Going back tomorrow!

The cinnamon buns are good, the danish rye bread is amazing. Easy ordering, excellent packing, simple delivery. Yummy.

Stopped here as part of a cycling group doing a bit of a tour round. Good choice of simple food and snacks. Nice seating area overlooking the beach. Quick service...with a smile, was nice too.

We were really looking forward to our stay at The Lugger Hotel, having visited back in 2006 and being thoroughly impressed with the food, service, and beautiful location. Based on that fond memory, I booked a two-night stay as a Christmas present for my partner, expecting the same level of excellence. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, it became clear that The Lugger no longer lives up to its 5-star reputation. First Impressions & Accommodation: Upon arrival, the receptionist gave the impression that she was disinterested and unwelcoming—a stark contrast to the warm hospitality we expected. While the room was clean, it lacked basic amenities like hotel information, brochures, or instructions for using the facilities. The TV wasn’t working at all, and the WiFi was weak and kept disconnecting. Though there were some complimentary items, they did not reflect the luxury standards one would expect from a 5-star hotel. Additionally, the stairs leading to our building were covered in rubbish and debris, again falling short of even basic hospitality standards. The Dining Experience: The most disappointing part of our stay, however, was the dining experience, which we had eagerly anticipated as a key highlight of our visit. Breakfast: My partner ordered the Full Cornish Breakfast, but it was far from “full.” Not only were standard items missing, but the portion was surprisingly small. The taste was mediocre at best—certainly not what you’d expect from a luxury establishment. Dinner: We chose to dine at the hotel to treat ourselves to what we thought would be an exceptional culinary experience. The menu sounded promising, and while the staff were polite and helpful, the service felt disjointed, with multiple mistakes occurring around us. For starters, my dish was fine, but my partner’s included granola crumbs that were toasted to the point of being rock-hard—so much so that he genuinely feared he had broken a tooth. It was unpleasant and should never have been served in that condition. The main course was even more disappointing. We both ordered the same fish dish, which turned out to be bland, overcooked, and entirely devoid of flavor. While British politeness kept us from speaking up immediately, we did write a discreet note on my phone and shared it with the front-of-house manager after the main course. She acknowledged our concerns and assured us she would discuss it with us later. Sadly, the dessert continued the trend of underwhelming flavors, though I will say the presentation of all the dishes was beautiful—it’s just unfortunate the taste didn’t match the aesthetics. Post-Dinner & Final Impressions: After dinner, the manager asked us to move to a quieter area of the restaurant and offered us tea. Given the poor dining experience, we assumed this was a complimentary gesture. To our surprise, we were charged for it, and no one ever followed up with us regarding our feedback—despite sitting there for over an hour. When we checked out the next day, we expected some form of acknowledgment—whether a reduction in the food bill or a simple apology. Instead, the receptionist seemed unaware of the situation and showed no interest in finding out more. Her passive-aggressive response, “You ate your food, and we can’t do anything about it,” was not only dismissive but deeply unprofessional. Hotel’s Lack of Cooperation: Following our stay, we reached out directly to the hotel in an attempt to resolve the matter privately. We provided detailed feedback and requested a partial refund, given the premium we paid for what was advertised as a luxury experience. The hotel acknowledged our concerns but refused to offer a fair resolution, only refunding us for the tea that was incorrectly charged. Despite multiple follow-ups, they stopped responding entirely, leaving us no choice but to escalate the matter through our credit card provider and share our experience publicly.

A very warm welcome and the most generous hosts. Walking the Southwest Coast path and leaving before breakfast so were given dinner on the house instead, a very kind touch, and totally delicious food! Thank you!
