The best restaurants serving French food in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Nice ambience and decor in the restaurant, my chair was unfortunately a bit sticky on the edge which i felt when pulling chair forward (probably from the previous customer). I wanted to get the waitresses attention but they all seemed busy. Not a problem, I wiped the residue away with a wet wipe. The food which we had was beautifully presented and tasty. I loved the Scallop risotto.. So delicious. Unfortunately my son’s filet steak was well done rather than medium rare which he asked for. He didn't want to make a fuss and said it was fine so he kept it. He said it was still a good piece of meat. There were 2 different lemonaid sold out which i wanted, but the one I had was nice (lime). Despite the experience not being 100%, the quality of the food is what we were there for and we enjoyed it.

Visited on a wednesday evening with husband and two kids. The service was delightful and the food was out of this world! I had salt and pepper squid to start, it was the best I’ve ever had in any country. We also had a scallops started and a smoked mackerel pate starter that were equally delicious. The kids loved the garlic prawns wrapped in a fillet of plaice. Monkfish in a peppercorn sauce was a revelation and the thai red seafood curry was heavenly (just the right side of a chilli kick). Desserts were good too! Highly recommend this charming little place.

This place has fantastic staff and amazing roast lunches. They are dog friendly and human friendly too. I cannot speak more highly of an eatery that serves good wine too. A☆☆☆☆☆

Had seen the restaurant advertised as 3 AA rosette but have since found out that is under review due to change of chef. Restaurant was dimly lit with nearby table resorting to using torch on his phone to read menu. Had the scallops which were average and small . Pork was okay as main course but not a large portion. Cheeseboard was average. Was expecting more from what was a listed restaurant.

Have visited multiple times over the last few years. (Scared wasp lady) Last year we visited Looe just to come to this place. The owner is fantastic and always makes you feel welcome. One holiday we visited everyday for the crepes and affogato (served the Japanese way). I’ve just seen that this place has now closed and we’re deeply saddened. I hope the owner is well and is doing bigger and better things. Thankyou for the crepes and coffee ❤️.

The holiday had not gone well so far. Expectations were low. Delighted to be proved wrong. Welcomed and seated quickly in an interesting building with a history. This well established restaurant is owned and run by husband (Chef) and wife (front of house) team, Mr & Mrs Harris. Starters were Grilled Scallops and Crab Florentine. Perfectly cooked scallops, the Crab Florentine a subtle blend of texture and flavour. A palate cleanser of Thyme sorbet was served, a distinctive but intriguing subtle flavour. (Chef kindly gave me the recipe.) Main courses were Roast Monkfish on a risotto bed and an excellent whole (which was deboned on request) Dover Sole in chive butter sauce. We managed one dessert between us, Treacle Tart, which we enjoyed but perhaps a step too far! Washed down with good reasonably priced Viognier. Simply and classically presented dishes, cooked with professional excellence. Not a tweezer in sight. A most enjoyable and interesting evening.

Brilliant Sunday lunch ..food is amazing on the menu lovely friendly service .Definitely worth a visit folks.

Came with friends for a birthday lunch. Stunning setting and very friendly staff. Food was fairly good, there was a lunch time offer of 2 courses for £19 with a limited choice, but the service was extremely slow, taking almost three quarters of an hour for our cold starters and 2 soups to arrive. The restaurant was extremely quiet. On paying our bill I realised my wine was eye wateringly expensive (my fault I did not look at the drinks menu when ordering ordinary white wine, but if I'd realised I would have just had a single glass!).

As we are in beautiful Cornwall it would be rude not to partake in the traditional "Cream Tea " " Jam First !" But however you like your Jam on your scones, you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, these were the best scones I have tasted. Freshly baked, warm and smelling delicious. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and helpful. The bar is dog friendly too The view of the sea, from our table, was uninterrupted and perfect to have a relaxing afternoon with a friend or friends enjoying some self indulgence. The View Bar Bistro( or Raffles Bar as previously known) is a beautiful spot to while away a few hours Two delicious scones, Jam and cornish clotted cream a couple of fresh strawberries. A freshly brewed pot of Cornish tea or coffee if preferred. £8.50 per person. I consider that very reasonable. What's not to like ! Booking might be advisable.

Excellent brunch, great service, really good VFM and very relaxed atmosphere. We had toasted sourdough French baguette, coffees and teas which were all excellent. I’m a bread lover and try to make my own and have to say the whole meal and white sourdough baguettes here are streets ahead of what I can produce and as good as anything I’ve tasted anywhere. The young team working in the patisserie were very friendly, chatty, efficient and seemed to be very engaged in providing a great service in a very clean and well looked after restaurant. Highly recommended.

Great location, great pub, average food. Small car park but it’s a small Cornish village so narrow roads etc! Good views around the dining area. The food was only average, soggy fish, tasteless chips, hard peas; husband had an ok/average steak n ale pie. It filled a hole as we’d walked all day - but sadly didn’t fill our hearts with joy!

I placed an order online with the intention of these being a present. I placed the order and chose the date for delivery. The recipient waited in all day and no delivery. I have tried calling the land-line and mobile numbers associated to this business but no one has answered. I have also sent an email as well as a message Facebook messenger but they have gone unanswered too. Poor service considering the price they charge.

Great place for quick service bagain meals and pretty good coffeee and deserts. The wraps sweeet chilli are great tasty at a bargain price.

The perfect treat for Mothers' Day. It's always nice to have someone else cook a roast lunch but usually I find I could have done better, or it wasn't worth the money. Not at Buffy's! Everything is beautifully cooked and presented - on hot plates - with a good selection of vegetables, crispy roast potatoes and the tenderest of meat. The staff are lovely, helpful and attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxed, homely and tolerant of children and dogs. Looking forward to trying the weekday menu!
