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

We were passing and came across this lovely beach cafe so decided to stop for a drink, and possibly a light lunch too, if the menu appealed to us. By the time our latte and tea arrived, we’d been seduced by the food that was being served to other diners, particularly the tapas dishes which looked and smelled delicious. We weren’t overly hungry so we opted to share some grilled halloumi, king prawns, rosemary chips and bread, with some lemon polenta to finish. Certainly, we had no complaints about the food which was really tasty and full of flavour. However, it’s not especially cheap here (our bill was just under £50 for what I would call a snacky type of lunch) and we were surprised to find that a 10% service charge had automatically been added to our bill, even though this hadn’t been mentioned to us. Service was okay, but not exceptional by any means, and whilst we would have left a tip, we felt that staff should have been transparent about the service charge. As ‘walk-ins’ during a busy lunchtime, we were seated inside, with no direct view of the sea or beach, which is fair enough, but perhaps if we’d had a lovely view, we might have felt differently about the prices and service charge. All that said, we’d definitely return but would book in advance so that we could take advantage of the amazing views that everybody talks about!

Six members of our family went to Cbay for a pre-Christmas dinner as one would be out of the country on Christmas Day. We had a fabulous meal, everything cooked to perfection, tasty and plenty of everything. It was the first day of the Christmas menu and five of us made our choices from the excellent selection provided apart from one who had the lovely fish and chips. The waiter service was excellent too and that contributed to a brilliant family night out at Cbay.

Disappointing Firstly- part of the experience of eating out is choosing what you want on the night, and more importantly, for some of us, an evening off from cooking or even thinking about cooking- I absolutely do not want to be contacted a fortnight before my booking to be asked to pre order and therefore having to contact all the people I was meeting to ask them.what they wanted.to order. The food was mainly average but prawn dish was overcooked and unpleasant Staff were lovely which helped what was otherwise an underwhelming and expensive meal

Terrible restaurant.Just read it is now up for Sale since January 2024.Thank Goodness He ruined what was a fantastic restaurant

In a town that is pretty runs down, this place is a little diamond in the rough. The service was fantastic (small request to change a meal which was dealt with really well). Staff great and friendly with our kids. Food was excellent and the portions very generous. Would highly recommend this place to eat.
