The best restaurants in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

We were really impressed! Very tasty food and really chilled and friendly service. We’ll be back later this week and we’d highly recommend you doing the same :)

Sunday lunch for a meat eater and a veggie. Absolutely bloody fantastic. We haven’t had a better Sunday roast, ever. Total credit to this place for the food, service, atmosphere, decor and location. But the food… we will be talking and raving about this place for a long time. Bravo.

Whenever I'm working in Fowey, I make a point to visit Quay Bakery and stock up with their baguettes, sourdough, Gouda pasties and treacle tart. This month I discovered their Eccles cakes - the best I've ever had. Everything's good, a lot of it's sublime, the staff are lovely* and the prices are fair. Faultless. *The other day I didn't have time to wait while they cut the new treacle tart, so on their suggestion I paid while I was there and went back after work when they were shut; but they came to the door with tart bagged, and a smile. Brilliant service.

It was a dark and stormy night in Penzance. Luckily, intrepid diners that we are, we ventured out. What good luck should befall us! The Singing Rooster. Vegan pierogis and vegan bigosi. Outstanding! Tasty Polish beer, and house-baked desserts: a light chocolate cake with raisins infused with cherry vodka and a berry tart. Lovely atmosphere and decor and a delightful host. 5 starts.

Called in here spontaneously while on a loop expedition around the lower half of east Cornwall looking for some new stretches to exercise the dog. Mid-afternoon, mid-September and we were soon hungry. This is a pleasant cafe but we came over ten minutes after lunch ended so we resorted to tea and cake. Quite a selection, fairly priced and OK portions. Better for sitting on the outside benches in the surprisingly hot sun. Bit fiddly to drive down here by the lanes from the A30, easy to get get back south to Liskeard and the A38. We’d probably come again but in time for lunch.

Great service and food, I wanted to treat my daughter to a breakfast and had been told the pancakes are amazing, her eyes lit up when she saw the menu and we agreed they are the best pancakes

Another superb meal at Asquiths - wonderful from start to finish. The plum tarte tatin with rosemary ice cream was inspired! We are very lucky to have this first class restaurant in Lostwithiel! Thank you from Mike & Lisa

Amazing food, decor, and atmosphere. Packed on a Tuesday evening. Food came out in good time; looked and tasted amazing. We sat in the bar afterwards and enjoyed some cocktails.

So sad to hear that our favourite tea rooms has closed. Thank you to Suzy, Dave, Ryan and Teresa for being so friendly and welcoming to our family over the past few years. As mentioned by others your scones were simply the best and all food, cakes and drinks so lovingly prepared. We were so glad to have been able to make one last visit during October. There was nowhere else we would have made a 180 mile round trip to visit for sure. Wishing you all the very best for the future.

A fantastic spot down the steps and right on the sea front, a warm welcome and quickly seated outside. A nice friendly place, service was quick. I had a latte and breakfast, both superb! Will be coming back!

The food was AMAZING also the milkshakes are good as well, really enjoyed our visit to here, the ladies was lovey in there, only us in there but was lovey and relaxed 🩷

Found this little gem of a place today on our second visit to Bude whilst staying in Crawford Lakes. My husband had the Vegan pie with roast seasonal veg & gravy & I had the Traditional Cornish Pastie with Fries & Gravy. Honestly The Best meal we have had since we have been in Devon & Cornwall. If you want to try a Cornish Pastie in Cornwall then this is the place to come. The coffee was also amazing. The Owner was so friendly & welcoming. Will definitely be coming here again when we return in a few months.

Four of us came here in early November to celebrate my birthday. From the booking through to actual service it was wonderful. You can bring your own wine and pay corkage which we did but ended up just having some of the excellent organic wine from the wine list. There was lovely bread and olive oil on the table which disappeared quickly. I had cured trout for starter, hake for main and a posh Eton mess (my best description anyway). All the food was fresh local produce, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The most surprising and very pleasing thing was the bill. At around £55 per head including wine and service it was extremely good value for money in this day and age. I would most definitely look to book again when we come to Cornwall next.

Overall, we enjoyed our time here for Sunday lunch. We think it's fair value and appreciate that they do not add service although we did. We appreciate having the choice. The service was good. Our hostess/waitress who did not introduce herself is very efficient. Service was unhurried but not too drawn out and attentive without being intrusive Our first two courses were good, particularly the mushroom course. It was beautifully creamy, and the Polenta crout was excellent What let the meal down was the beef main. We found the beef too stringy, and although the roast potatoes were good, the boiled carrots and white cabbage veggies were rather dismal. My partner called the mushroom duxelle pointless, I just found it tasteless . Overall, it was very disappointing. We had expected it to be the highlight As I have said, our first two courses were good and our pudding was enjoyable too. I loved the vanilla cream. Though my partner said it would have been nice to have a biscuity thing with it. I think that would work The decor is quite simple which we liked. It's a relaxing place to eat. The tables are a good size and the chairs are comfortable. I hate having to sit on poor quality ones. I would recommend this restaurant, but not sure we would return. Perhaps I am a philistine when it comes to beef as I am not keen on it being rare, especially when it's difficult to cut as it was here. Having a sharper knife would have helped

Cannot fault the homemade cakes at the Peppercorn. Absolutely delicious, fresh and good sized portions. The vegan lime, courgette and pistachio was out of this world. Lovely people and a smashing garden area. Will definitely visit again.
