The best restaurants in Truro Boscawen Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Amazing service and food. They were able to adapt the menu for my wife's allergies with ease, sign, of a very good restaurant..

I was looking for a lunch that wasn't crimped. Don't get me wrong, I love a good pasty and Truro has plenty of them on offer but I just fancied something different. Saw someone else eating a burrito and that was it. A quick Google search and a short walk and I found myself in Habaneros, a quirky little Mexican takeaway on Kenwyn Street. Not overly Mexican themed but you know what's on offer. The menu was easy to navigate, the décor was clean and functional, the music was more Aphex Twin than mariachi. The staff were friendly and welcoming without being "a bit much". I had a veggie burrito with habanero sauce. It was reasonably priced for a "treat lunch" but I couldn't justify going every day. There were about 8 people already waiting but I received my freshly made burrito within 10 minutes. It was big, healthy, substantial and bloody lovely! All the flavours and textures were perfectly balanced. My only criticism is that I needed more napkins than they provided. I will definitely be going back.

Mockingbird Mimosa Lounge visit on 19th October 2024 This review has only just been posted as we have been waiting 3 weeks for our refunds. This is for the deposits paid and not taken off our bill and failure to provide tea or coffee. I have previously visited The Mockingbird and have always enjoyed my visit. We booked a colleagues 'leaving do' and decided on ‘Afternoon High Tea’. Unfortunately, there was nothing ‘High’ about it! I was presented with a wooden board containing a mish mash of food, just piled up. Both meat and veggie sandwiches touching and also cakes all on the same board, buried under each other. Quality was cheap, with weird combo of plastic ham and chicken mayo in the same huge thrown together sandwich. The cakes were cheap and shop bought; certainly nothing fancy or enjoyable. Website says £17.50. We had all previously paid a £5 deposit; so I was expecting to pay £12.50. On paying, an incredibly rude woman (Louise) demanded to know who had paid and who had not. I felt like saying ‘’I don’t work here’’ but took the bill to my friends, who settled it immediately. We had spent in the region of £600+ between us. We even paid for a couple of colleagues ‘High Teas’ who had to cancel short notice due to illness, as it was pre-booked. We were not offered any tea or coffee; I did not realise this was actually supposed to be included. On reviewing my bill, the deposit had not been deducted and the charge was £22.50 per person, making my not so fancy tea £27.50. The website also says £14 for 2 cocktails, we were charged £18 for 2, hardly a ‘Happy Hour’. The ‘Gold Star’ goes to the toilet. Unclean and the towel that was hanging on the back of the door was filthy and wet – this had obviously not been changed for some time. Trying to sort this out has been interesting as Louise, who comes over as aggressive and rude, has yet to offer any apology. She even had the cheek to say "I had to turn people away because of you"! We spent a lot of money and had pre-booked! As we all work in the NHS and work to a high standard, I do not expect to be treated like this and will not be returning - You do not deserve our custom, I only hope that this will give you an opportunity to improve things.

Expensive but a nice atmosphere and staff We had fun there

Lovely store that is clean and well laid out. Staff were friendly and helpful with some great ideas on what is best to have. Toilet was clean and regularly checked. Prices are reasonable and the various options means that everyone is allocated for. Highly recommend.

The food was disgusting. No atmosphere over priced. Should be inspected by health inspectors Sept. 2023.

ignore every bad review this place has!! i was hesitant to go because of the negative feedback but i’m so glad i went anyway. me and my friends got quite a lot of sushi and all of it was amazing and the best i’ve ever had. wait time was a little long but it was so worth it for such good quality food. the pricing was so good as well, had 4 different portions and only paid £25. staff were nice and the menu has so many options and presentation was also cute. everything was just incredible and i could not recommend this place enough. will definitely be back here as i’ve found a new favourite restaurant.

Love this place. We eat here regularly as it never fails to disappoint. All the food and service is amazing. We have just had a Sunday roast today and it was one of the best roasts we've ever eaten anywhere. Very generous portions and cooked to perfection. Thank you

We were looking for a coffee shop in Truro and stumbled across this place. What a great find. The staff are absolute diamonds, ever so helpful and friendly and after a short time in there came over with treats for our dog and made a real fuss of her which was lovely. We had some delicious sandwiches in there plus cake and the coffee was excellent. However, the real surprise was the cup of tea!! Loose-leaf’s in a pot and according to my wife, one of the best cups of tea she’s ever had….a blow to my ego as I’ve spent years making her tea, but hey ho. Would thoroughly recommend this place, it’s absolutely fantastic and well worth a visit.

Lovely authentic and flavourful food, would thrloroyhly recommend

Avoid if you are gluten free. The only thing on the menu for Sunday lunch that is gluten free was an olive starter. The waitress was rude and disinterested, and when I asked for the manager another waiter came to our table. There was obviously no one in charge. I’ve been previously for Sunday lunch and was served a roast lunch but today only offered olives. It must be the new chef who just couldn’t give a fig. I will never be backz

Excellent location. Disabled access and toilets with a lift. Excellent coffee and food. Easy location to meet friends.

Really delicious food and coffee with a well-stocked shop downstairs packed out with vegan treats. Such a lovely little place to visit.

Good gluten free pasty cooked to order in 1 hour. Friendly service and plenty of parking in the car park for Wickes.

We were there with the Triumph Stag owners club (Cornwall) a party of 9 with our cars. We were royally looked after with freshly cooked breakfast with lots of toast and teas with homemade sausages, fried eggs mushrooms hash browns and homemade marmalade and brown sauce “ , what a treat. Brilliant service from Anne and Howard , they really couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you both on behalf of us all . Looking forward to our next visit and no hesitation to recommend them.
