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

On a particularly crowded and noisy day today in Newquay, we just needed somewhere quiet to rest our feet and get a bite to eat. My teenage daughter and her friend loved their toasted sandwiches, while my wife and I both opted for Cheddar Baps. We were both astonished with just how delicious and awesomely good the chef here could make of something as potentially mundane as a cheese bap. Each of our baps were made from a light homemade bread rolls and filled with a perfect combination of chutney, rocket, lambs lettuce, pickle and melted cheese. Plus a side of perfectly made creamy coleslaw too. Absolutely ten out of ten for such a perfect lunchtime meal plus most friendly and helpful service too. Especial thanks to the proprietor who readily understood our teenage daughter’s sensory processing disorder and turned down the volume of music while we were there. This was a special and memorable stop for us today.

Pleased to find three Vegetarian options on the menu. Ellie went the extra mile to adapt the menu to cater to the likes of our American friends. We all had Falafel Salads and they were absolutely delicious. We only lacked the weather to sit outside with a wonderful view, but that was beyond everyone’s control. Thank you Ellie, good luck with your business you deserve every success! Have a great time in India.

Lovely little place. Food was delicious.

What a fabulous spot , lovely tapas and the staff were so helpful friendly and attentive ( a rarity these days ) really enjoyable eve

Delicious food and a lovely cosy restaurant

Without a doubt the best place to go for cocktails, food, and coffee in Truro. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Though not the cheapest it's still great value for that authentic Spanish Tapas

We were on the waiting list for 4 months!It was raining on the evening we dined there but we were offered a table inside.The interior is tired and well worn. Two of the items on our chosen set meal were unavailable but substitutes were OK Not as good as our previous experience 2 years ago

We came for the excellent set lunch at £12.50 pp (Lots of other customers as well!) Very good choice of Menu and good quality. Excellent service and nice atmosphere.

DOG FRIENDLY YAY. in the garden out back which is a lovely setting. And the best cake I've had in Cornwall so far. Try rhe Lemon drizzle. Chocolate cake was also divine.

We loved the summer house, and had such a relaxing stay! Delicious breakfasts, a spotless and comfortable room, lovely garden and amazing hosts Kirsten and Trevor! They were so welcoming and we felt at ease straight away. Tea/coffee and snacks available at the larder were a great touch too - especially enjoyed in the garden! Having evening drinks available was wonderful too. The summer house is perfectly situated too to either stroll into penzance or explore newlyn/mousehold on foot. Really recommend! Photo of the beach taken a one minute stroll from the house.

Good selection on the menu. Food was always served hot and correctly. Very good quality of meals. Can be quite nosey as open plan, but they have a covered outside area too if you want to bring your dog.

Best pizza I’ve had in a long while. Staff were very friendly. Based in an amazing setting - in the Mediterranean biome. Good selection of lunch options. Calmer than the larger main restaurant.

Waited ages to take an order and waited an hour for our food in a half empty restaurant. Started taking our order then left to take another order halfway through. However food was really good.

We are locals, have been here a few times before and always had an excellent meal and service. This time however, it wasn’t great. Our waiter was doing her last shift before heading back to uni, and I don’t think she could really be bothered with us. Food was pricey and unexceptional. Felt like the chef had decided to move to the autumn menu - squash soup? Asparagus being offered well out of season. My Dover sole was ok, wife and daughter had John Dory, which was ok. Coffee was the teeniest tiniest espresso that I have ever seen. When you are dropping nearly 400 pounds on a meal, you expect it to be memorable, but on this occasion it wasn’t (or rather it was, but for the wrong reason). St mawes is lovely, but I’ll be giving Tresanton a swerve for the foreseeable.
