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.

We tried the lamb. The wild garlic and potatoe soup. Also the halloumi with extra ham. The soup was incredibly tasty. The salads were very tasty. The homemade apple cake was lovely. We sat in the covered area which protected us from the wind. Highly recommended. Wish I had taken photos for you to see.

Great food, lovely staff and chilled atmosphere. Not one to be missed if you’re in the area! All the cocktails are AMAZING!

A small lively place to eat. Great staff and lots of choice of yummy food. The pirates Brava were great. Cold manzanilla sherry!

A must visit in Fowey! The tapas here is fantastic. The calamari and the croquetas were delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Absolutely terrific restaurant in Carbis Bay very close to St Ives. Visited tonight with my wife and 3 year old son. First impressions were great, they have a lovely outside seating area, and inside the place is adorned with stuff to nail down the fact that you are in a Spanish restaurant. Really nicely done. Service was brilliant, very chatty and friendly, and fast. Food wise: We had bread plate and some anchovies to start, then the lad had chicken strips, chips and salad. Loved it. Well - not the salad but that’s not the fault of the restaurant, he isn’t a fan of green food unless it’s peas or grapes. Then we have various Tapas dishes. Patatas Bravas, Chargrilled Steak, Chicken Panko, Tomato Salad, fried squid. Then we all shared some Churros and that very typical Spanish dessert….Eton Mess! Not that we were complaining, it’s my wife’s favourite dessert. All the food was superb. Brilliant meal. Really enjoyed it.

Food is awful. Zero flavour. Very disappointing. Won’t be back Toilet was dirty. Sink unclean, tap broken and a dirty towel to dry your hands with

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.

Enjoyed the mackerel pate and risotto, both dishes were delicious. Only point of note was the size of the tiny tables in comparison to the enormous plates. Eating was challenging with limited elbow room!

What an amazing place. We were recommended to come here by friends and had to book several months beforehand. Even then we had an outside (terrace) booking. Thankfully we were upgraded due to a cancellation and we were moved inside. what a fabulous meal and the staff were so helpful. Book early!!

The view from the restaurant is stunning and we caught it at sunset. The food is alright and two of the dishes were liked, but I couldn't finish my bbq rib dish (too much of the pico).

Lovely food and excellent customer service. The food was a really decent portion and a reasonable price. The lady that served us was really friendly and efficient. We will definately be returning. Thank you.

Possibly the best pizzas I’ve eaten. And a delicious salad. It was just like sitting in a Mediterranean cafe on an October day. Wish it was nearer home!

Disappointing. The dining room is a little stark but comfortable. A table on the terrace would have given us a lovely view were it not for the chilly wind. Anyhow, what could be helped was that the menu didn't correspond to the website (we were fobbed off on the availability of some fish) and the portions were ridiculously scant considering mains were in access of £40. Had we known about the menu we would have used our 60 mile round trip drive to go to the pricey Rick Stein's in Padstow rather than the pricey Tresanton.

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.
