Restaurant Reviews

What a find! Sea Drift Kitchen is a fabulous place - great choice of food, superb quality and service and they are properly dog friendly - our bearded collie was offered a snack before we were!!

Visited for dinner on our last eve at St Ives Holiday village 13th May 2012. Booked table in bar earlier that day which was all reserved and staff very welcoming. price was extremely reasonable and food gorgeous. definately worth a visit . 10/10

I took my parents, wife and nephew to Odds on Friday 11th May 2012. The unusual entrance and location of Odds is amazing, the overall look and feel and views of this wonderful restaurant is truly spectacular. We received a wonderful welcome and the staff and service throughout was very good indeed. All this and I haven't even got started on the food, its hard to explain how really amazing the quality, presentation and wonderful use of local produce was. Odds is an amazing eating experience, a real gem of a place of great quality. This was a perfect start to our weekend break and somewhere we can't wait to come back to on our next visit. Well-done guys, loving your work ;o) Mark and Family from West Midlands.

As you can either eat in or take away this was a great find when we stayed at the Travelodge a few miles away. The variety and quality of the fish was excellent and our whole party would recommend. The staff were friendly and we partook on more than one occasion during our stay

The food was very good and the aervice was excelent. The people were very attentive to your needs and happy to accomadate your needs. The atmostpher was very plesent and fitting with the italinian feel. I do hope people will enjoy there experience as much as i did. I wish them all the best for the future.

despite not having an alcohol licence this restaurant still manages to create a lovely ambiance and the food is delicious, so give it a try!

What a find! I have lived in Cornwall for many years and never been so delighted as to find such a fantastic restaurant, the Greek food was full of flavour, very tender meats and a delight, the decor is modern, light and airy and the staff first class this is one of my favourite restaurants in Cornwall, your reviews were definitely right.

Have now had several lunches and evening meals since the launch of the restaurant. The décor is opulent with the leather and wood giving it a cosy feel. The food is excellent with a varied menu and prices are good for the quality served.

Highly recommend this restaurant!

We had 2 takeaways during our time in Newquay in April and the food was delicious & hot. The service was excellent and friendly. We will definately be back for more in June on our next visit & hope to have a meal at the restaurant

Brilliant restaurant with wonderful food and a great relaxed atmosphere. We are lucky enough to live nearby and can visit often. Every meal is special.

AMAZING! We celebrated our wedding at Schooners last wk and we cant put into words what an amazing time we had. The venue was priceless, the food absolutely excellent, but most importantly were Ben, Jess, Hayley & Mark. Every single one of them worked so hard to make sure we had a fab day. Noting AT ALL was too much trouble. You will never find a more memorable venue or more helpful people. They created a very special event for us. Thank you so so much all. X

A lovely local restaurant nice decor great service and excellent food cooked to perfection. And complimentry drinks to finish
We highly recommend a visit

Probably the most consistently good Indian quisine restaurant I have ever experienced. Allways good!

I have been to this restaurant on many an occasion. I have never had a bad meal or time at the restaurant. All of the staff are very polite, and the restaurant is always clean and tidy. Well worth a visit if you are ever this direction. Booking is adviseable during the summer.

My husband and I visited the Real Greek for our anniversary and were delighted with the tasty Greek food my husband had the kleftico and it was so tender and a very large portion I had chicken souvlaki and enjoyed the flavours very much we ended with a desser platter the owner looked after us and offered complimentary ouzo a lovely end to a great night, we will definitely be back

Dinedc at the Carn Brea Castle last evening, it was amazing! The building itself is wonderful and cleverly arranged to accommodate diners! Mr Sawalha is an excellent host and table server. The food was out of this world. Very good portions beautiful tastes. We had friends over from Poland and they were blown away by the setting and food. Thank you so much.

I love this small Italian restaurant. We went last night and the restaurant was not so busy, maybe because it just opened. I am glad to find this restaurant. The food was cooked from fresh, very tasty and could find no fault. We would very much recommend to all our friends. A very good dining experience indeed.

After visiting the castle for my first time back in 2009 i was hooked. It really is a resturant with a difference. From its hilltop views, to the candle lite corridoors, Carne Brea castle is as inviting as its hosts. The food is amazing and pleantyful at that. With its family run atmosphere and great food and prices, Carne Brea Castle is place you`ll want to visit again and again....I do

Great evening, last night of my holiday and couldn't have wished for a nicer place. Extremely friendly staff, a menu to die for and excellent location. Would love to be local and visit more often! Great experience

"So good, I ate here twice" - twice each time I have visited Mevagissey over the last four years or so, that is.

As someone else here has writen - Yorkshire's loss is definitely Cornwall's gain!

I visited the Real Greek on Saturday evening with ten friends and was delighted with the delicious Greek food, the service was first class and the atmosphere vibrant a definite must.

Have visited this restaurant on a couple of occasions and experienced excellent food both times. Well worth a visit if you're in the area..Worth pre booking and requesting a table in the room next to the river which is gorgeous. Highly recommended.

If you have not yet visited Bistro Da Giovanni get yourself along there and support this new culinary venture. Bistro Da Giovani would be an asset to any town but in Camborne is little short of a miracle. I have eaten there twice and on both occasions the food has been delicious. Giovani is a delightful and charming host and, for added authenticity, will chat to you in Italian. We will be regulars, I think. Already I am brushing up on my Italian. :0)

We searched the internet whilst on our holiday for a nice country restaurant & came across the watermill inn. As soon as we entered the car park we felt the warmth & atmosphere we were greeted so warmly we didn't feel like outcasts & was accomadated very well indeed we had our son with us & even when we asked for smaller portions for him they done this with no fuss or problem the food was lovely worth every penny we all had starters, main & 2 of us had desserts & drinks it was fairly priced we were very happy indeed & if we visit cornwall again or know anyone that is visiting we will definatly recommend the watermill inn.
if there was any faults the only fault I would say was that as the weather warms up & you are eating upstairs the heating needs to be turned down a bit as it gets very very warm other than that sublime!! thank you so much for topping our holiday with a lovely meal!

Amazing, Brillliant service, And the food is to die for! my fav plave to eat out in the whole of Cornwall :)

Having recently spent a few weeks exploring the Cornwall coastline and
marveling at some of the remarkably unspoilt hideaways still lingering
there, we (my wife Val and I) so enjoyed a most splendid seafood dinner
in Porthleven that we agreed that the restaurant and its
owner-chef-host merited mention to other foodies. The Blue Haze
restaurant and its owner-chef Sat Bajway were a find indeed. The
restaurant is a small converted quay-side cottage, wood shingle white
painted, the inside akin to a 60's café décor for those old enough to
recall, with friendly and unassuming attendant staff. We had spotted
'the place' earlier that day and popped in to check it out, to be
promptly introduced to the owner-chef Sat Bajway who was called from
his kitchen. Sat and our meeting impressed us sufficiently to book for
dinner that evening; the meal will rank highly amongst the best seafood
I have eaten (including… Alaskan crab in South Carolina, black peppered
crab in downtown Singapore, Hong Kong sole in Jimmy’s Kitchen,
langoustines and squid in Sintra, monkfish in New Zealand, lobster and
scallops in Skye. simply to suggest that I am no stranger to seafood ).
Wonderful little place – why not check it out yourself? The attached
snap of unspoilt Porthleven may offer some inducement; the restaurant is the
little white building with gable windows to the right of the church in the
centre of the picture. Bit deceptive since the church stands on the eastern
side of the harbour entrance and the restaurant stands on the opposite western side.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Absolutely wonderful. I have never tasted such a wonderful curry.

We had 3 wonderful nights en famille at The Old Coastguard and their food and drink,if aything, just got better and better as the bank holiday weekend progressed. A simplicity of style and application in the kitchen matched with superb, original skills delivered wonderful breakfasts and dinners three times in a row !! Vegetables are inventively prepared and served in a manner not encountered elsewhere. The wine list has big bargains and good choices from unusual places. We'll be back !

UNTITLED hits all the right spots. The ambience as you arrive for a drink at the bar surrounded by carefully chosen local art is sensational and it gets better ! The food is world class and attention is paid to every detail. My middle east inspired lamb dish was perfectly cooked and my guests - all 3 had fish - were delighted with the freshness and quality. We drank reasonably proced delightful new world wines and sampled a couple of their superb desserts. Can only get better !

"Great..."

Customer service to die for.
Excellent food, served with a smile always.

I have been here several times and the food is excellent. Real Greek have introduced a new menu with a lot more choice, and the prices are very reasonable. We received a very warm welcome and the staff were friendly and attentive. I have been to Greece and the food is just as good as it was there! Highly recommended

Visited the restaurant for their superb monthly Mexican night.The warm welcome from the management and staff was only surpassed by the quality of the food.A great atmosphere stunning food and a warm welcome you can not ask for better.I would recommend it highly thanks to phil,geri and all the team.

If you enjoy food cooked with a passsion then don't leave Porthleven without having dined in the Blue Haze Restauant

Ate here one lunchtime and had to keep coming back.The lunchtime fish menu was reasonably priced and also delicious and the service wa excellent. Their home made bread was light and tasty and their cakes...very moreish. Some of the best food I have ever eaten and also pleased a picky 9 year old!

Yet again another great meal!

We book our Anniversary meal every year at, Life's a Beach and it always delivers.
Thank you!

MUCH better than Rodda's.

Highly recomended, superb meal, cooked to perfection,pleasent staff with great service.

On our walk form Tintagel to Boscastle we decided that a light lunch and a little drink would be in order, lucky for us we happened upon the Riverside Restaurant and since they have a dog friendly policy we went in for their “Soup and a Sandwich” deal for £6….. there is no way I can compliment the establishment enough on their absolutely delicious soup and sandwich. To top this off the service was with a genuine smile.

I had dinner at the Riverside Inn on Saturday 24 March 2012 and I was so impressed by the place that I thought I'd write a review.

When I phoned to book, I mentioned that I would be dining on my own and asked if that would be a problem, but the lady I spoke to assured me that would be fine. That was commendable as it was a Saturday night and some restaurants prefer not to accept bookings for one diner over weekends, so I was very impressed, especially as it's not a large restaurant .

It's not always fun eating out on one's own but I was given a discreet table for two and was well looked after by the friendly staff from the moment I walked in.

I had a starter followed by a fish dish for my main course and both were delicious. The meal was complemented by a glass of nice crisp muscadet. It's not often restaurants sell muscadet by the glass so that was a bonus as it really does go so well with fish!

The brown meringue dessert looked absolutely yummy and I was sorely tempted, but my starter and fish course were more than enough for me to cope with so I'm afraid that I had to decline when the dessert menu was offered to me, although it did take a lot of willpower to say no.

The Riverside Inn is a lovely place to eat and I would definitely recommend it if you are staying in the area and fancy a good meal at a fair price (and particularly if you like fish as that's their speciality). It offers tasty, fresh, locally sourced food, good ambience and it's not at all ostentatious.

The only thing I would suggest is that you book in advance as the restaurant is not huge and it's very popular, and rightly so.

Guess where I'll be eating next time I visit the area - the Riverside Inn of course!

We just returned from spending 4 days in Porthleven over Easter, and we ate in Kota Kai for 3 of them! The first day we went in for a coffee and decided to stay for some lunch because the view was beautiful from our seats. Coffee was very good, we shared some olives and other small plates and I had a caesar salad which was lovely. We returned the next day with some family and had a full lunch. I had the veggie plate, which was a good mix of choices, my husband had the burger which was well cooked (i.e. not over cooked) and he was very impressed. Between us we also had the thai green curry and the thai mussels which were both described as delicious. I booked again for the following evening as I wanted to try the green curry myself, it smelt amazing. The next evening was horrible weather so I expected the restaurant to be empty, however it was still fully booked and had a good vibe, it’s just as beautiful watching the harbour in sunshine as is it enchanting watching waves break over the gaps. I had my green curry which came with jasmine rice. It was very good; it had a kick to it and was well flavoured. I particularly liked the pea shoots they dressed it with, along with the baby leaf coriander. We also had the fish and chips which wasn’t greasy at all and was a very generous portion and the crab linguini which looked and apparently tasted very good. I would recommend you try the chips, they are really good! Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, it’s a fantastic addition to Porthleven’s restaurant scene and is helping put the village on the culinary map. Very good value too.

Excelent food and wonderful service.
Sea Bass special was to die for, as was the Salmon and Creamed Leeks.
Perfect puddings.
Service was excellent, friendly staff that made sure that I had everything I could possibly want for a comfortable and nice dining experience, including reserving me a pudding that they knew I would enjoy.

By far the best pub in the area :-)

I visited the Journeyman for the first time on Sunday. I ate a lamb curry with nan bread, rice and a couple of side dishes. without a doubt this was the best curry, by far, that I have had outside India. All the food is cooked to order and we were asked what strength we liked the curry, and it appeared as ordered.
The use of spice was superb, producing a wonderful experience.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes curry.

Excellent food which was incredibly tasty and brilliant value for money. The service was superb, with every request carried out quickly and efficiently. I will definitely be going back to the Thai Chef again.

I had a very warm welcome by the manager and the whole stuff. They all helped me as a tourist to explain me the local dishes. So I had a delicious 3 course menu.

We were visiting Truro for the Easter Break and fell upon this restaurant when touring Truro, we didn't book but was allocated a nice table near the window, the restaurant has a "posh" Greek feel, but the prices are very reasonable. We eat out at the Real Greek in London regularly and the food in this restaurant is the best Greek food we have ever had, worth a visit to Cornwall just for the food! Well done Truro for such a high standard of Greek food.

Thank you Eat out Cornwall for your positive reviews, we sampled the Real Greek last night and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the atmosphere and modern but classy restaurant is definitely an asset to Truro's dining out experience.

Excellent food. Scallops were well cooked and tender. Good service and nice atmosphere. Will go back again next time I am in Looe.

I visited the restaurant with some business colleagues, and I have to say it is the best Greek food I have ever eaten. The wine list if exceptional, and the Chicken Yemista was very succulent and tasty. All my colleagues enjoyed their food, we were made to feel very welcome and although we spent time over our meal with a meeting, were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely be back

brilliant food carvery a good deal,puddings scrumptious would happily recomend the lemon cheesecake with double cream of course

An excellent evening, very good service and a nice well balanced menu in a really good setting. Menu was very well put together and cooked. Many Thanks

My husband and I have been many times often without booking.We have always been seated even when the restaurant appeared full.We have nothing but high praise for the food and service.We can't speak highly enough for this welcome addition to the Truro dining scene.

we came to your restaurant on 28/03/12 for my husbands birthday as we were staying at a local holiday park, the atmosphere was so welcoming and staff were so friendly, we were left alone to enjoy our meals which were AMAZING . compliments to the chef.... if we are ever in perranporth again we will definatley stop in for the most wonderful meal and desserts were awsome too..

Fabulous tapas lunch with great flavours and choice of dishes: especially the smoked sardines with aioli, chilli garlic prawns, marinated olives & meltingly good Imam bayaldi with a delicious cool glass of rose in a relaxing environment - excellent quality and value - will definitely go back

We enjoyed some innovative and interesting flavours with alexanders soup & an oyster rissole, but the portions were meagre in relation to the prices, luckily our friends saw the funny side and we made a joke of looking for the promised elements of each dish. The passionfuit mousse was lovely but on our second visit inside a week we were advised that it was not suitable for vegetarians, having already ordered and eaten it once. I was disappointed by the acidic white wine; not good value as I didn't finish my glass - a first I think. Fine selection of rum though. Real ale was very average.

I wasn't sure when i booked whether this was part of the chain in London, where i have visited on numerous occasions, i was soon put to right by the owner who said it was a family business, i was very impressed, this is one of the best Greek restaurants I have visited, and I have been to a lot on my travels, I was told the chef was from a five star restaurant in kos that explains the exceptional taste and splendid cooking. Will be back

I visited the Real Greek with a large party 25 of my family, we had read the reviews previously, and everything lived up to our expectations. Although the party was quick the food came out altogether, hot and absolutely superb. I enjoyed the kleftico, which was so tender it fell off the bone, what a good addition to Truro, I am going to recommend to all my friends, a return visit is for sure.

What a splendid find, after reading the excellent reviews for this restaurant couldn't wait to try, and it definitely lives up to its reviews. The modern fresh decor is excellent the atmosphere superb and the food out of this world. A must for anyone who has a passion for Greek food i will definitely be back.

always wanted a proper lobster meal,it was everything i hoped and more, amazing. will deffinately go again, god bless the chef with his butter and cream

i took my grandmother to this truly wonderful restaurant the music was just right as my nan cant stand loud music!the food was amazing and and the wine was lush ! i couldnt see any rose wine on the menu and when i asked she said its not yet on the menu but we do have have 1 greek rose which was very nice! i cant wait to go back there again

We would like to thank the serving staff for a good night on 22 Mar 2012. We researched this restaurant before we went along for a good meal, unfortunately we were disappointed with the dessert which had not been cooked correctly.Hopefully the chef that was on duty got the message! No knives needed for Caramelised Nectarines next time please.

This restaurant is a superb example of Greek food in the UK, we visited family in Truro and booked for 15 of us to visit the restaurant, the decor is modern and contemporary and the food first class, we ordered a platter for starter, and enjoyed pasturma, boreki cheese, halloumi and a selection of dips, it was very enjoyable, I had the beef stifado, which was delicately spiced and very tender, my wife being a vegetarian had yemista and ate every mouthful, All the family enjoyed the Real Greek we will definitely be back when we visit cornwall again.

We went on a Friday night, very friendly lively pub it was steak night so I had a yummy steak for £6 couldnt beat that price, we have a little baby and they were very helpful. Would definelty recommend to families and couples. Thank you for a yummy meal.

my family come to cornwall several times a year and always make sure we visit during our stay, love the food and the atmosphere, we will be back this summer xxx

An amazing eating out experience from the moment we arrived through to leaving we were made to feel very special by all the staff.The taster menu is exquisite and the presentation by Nathan and his team fully deserve their 2 stars and another one soon I suspect

Cornwall's hidden secret. A little gem of a sea food restaurant overlooking the tall ships in Charlestown Harbour.Fresh locally cooked fish, excellently cooked and presented an d not over priced. But don't tell anyone about it - keep it a secret!!

What a wonderful find, great food, great setting and friendly staff. The gardens are beautiful complete with its own stream, big hit with the kids

The Prix Fixe menu was fantastic, only choice of two starters,mains & desets but all of the highest quality for the great price of £20.00

We had a wonderful Mother's day lunch here The staff and food were excellent Thank you

I took my sister and her new fiance (and their 2 children) to the Miners Arms to celebrate their engagement. It was mothers day and the pub was very busy. But customer service was still excellent. We had a fantastic meal, the staff were friendly, the fire was cosy, the food was excellent. Great choice of beers too! Thank you for making a special celebration more special

Whist holidaying in Haylewe tried a couple of curry houses.The food here was good and with pleasant surroundings,a little expensive which i wouldnt have minded if the waiter with the glasses flying round at warp speed had time to serve you with a smile.loved the food but it would have been nice if the sevice had matched !

Fantastic tasty food,excellent service and friendly staff.Certainly worth 5 star rating thank you for a lovely evening
L & C Truro

Light & relaxed atmosphere. Amazing home cooked, fresh food with a varied and interesting selection. Reasonable price Service prompt and pleasant. Good access for disabled. Toilets clean and nice. What a treasure in Hayle.

I travelled from York for a holiday in Cornwall, and fell upon this restaurant by chance, and what a splendid find it was. My husband and I visit Greece regularly and to sample some delightful Greek Cuisine in Cornwall was a treat. The waiter or I think possibly the owner, gave us first class service and made our visit very enjoyable. Being a vegetarian I had the Vegetarian Yemista, and it was tasty, and a more than ample portion. My husband being a big meat fan had kleftico, this he said was very tender a dropped of the bone, he had chips and salad. Unfortunately we were too full for a dessert but enjoyed a couple of complimentary ouzo shots after our meal. A good find, a remarkably smart restaurant, excellent service and superb food.

I visited The Real Greek for my birthday last Saturday evening, there was fifteen of us in the party, and the service, food and the whole experience made my birthday one to remember. I ordered the mixed souvlaki, which was lamb, chicken and koftethes grilled, with salad pitta bread and chips, I have a large appetite, but struggled to finish the plate. All the meat was very tender and cooked perfectly. We finished the night of with a few shots of ouzo on the house with the owner, a fun night one i will definitely be repeating.

Three years ago I invited friends out to a surprise dinner. Living in Redruth had never visited the restaurant. Excellent meal, congenial host, interesting setting, especially as one of my photos shows an apparition wearing a blue and white shirt ( the owner wore a white and red shirt)

Due to our winter refurbishment we have been closed from September 2011 and only re-opend March 2012. Hence no reviews during this period.

After holidaying on a regular basis in Greece, it was wonderful to come across this superbly presented Greek Restaurant, the decor is very modern my friend described it to me as the "posh" Greek and it sure lives up to its name. The wine list was extensive and the house wine was truly delightful. We shared a meze platter, which was more than enough for my husband and myself, following my lamb souvlaki, which was tender and mildly spiced. I couldn't manage a dessert but my husband has the baklava with ice cream, which he said was an excellent finish to a very enjoyable meal. We will definitely put this on our favourites list.

I visited the Real Greek on Tuesday evening and enjoyed a tasty selection of starters, and kleftico with roast potatoes, the food was delightful, the lamb so tender. My partner had beef stifado and thoroughly enjoyed the tasty meat and spices. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Stayed in Praa Sands for the 1st time last year and visited the cafe many times. What a fabulous location to have morning coffee!! The food was lovely and the staff very friendly and welcoming. We are returning to Praa Sands this year for 2 weeks staying in a cottage just behind the cafe so do not expect to be cooking much.

Love Greece and its food and therefore to us the Real Greek is well worth the drive from Helston. Been there twice and its become one of our favourites with good food, Greek wine and pleasant staff - already looking forward to going again

OMG Ive just had the most amazing evening ever! Drove up to Carn Brea Castle for an evening meal... As you negotiate the windy bumpy path up towards the Castle all of a sudden the views either side hit you!!!! Its like Fairy Land and the Castle itself is stunning! We were greeted at the door by the owner Mounir Sawalha who showed us up to our table. Mounir made us feel extremely welcome and asked us whether or not we were adventurous in our taste of cuisine to which he was so happy that we said we were. We said we would love to try Jordanian dishes and he did us proud. Stuffed Vine leaves, Pickled baby aubergines and the Hummus ALL made freshly on the premises were mouthwateringly delicious and the Lamb Kebab was to die for!!! Mounir really made us feel welcome and spent quality time with us. We finished the evening with a coffee Jordanian style which was perfect. Both of us cant wait to go again and try more of these delightful dishes and will recommend their cuisine to everyone. Thank you Mounir, Anne & family for a fantastic evening. 5* Chrissy & Mark

20 of us celebrated with our colleague Lynne this afternoon and enjoyed a suberb lunch"


Well done!

The food was excellent. The staff was attentive, it was a wonderful experience. Had the surf and turf and highly recommend it.

Wreckers served the best fish I have ever tasted! My cod was superlative: it was fresh, perfectly cooked and the dish was well balanced. The calamari starter was in the lightest of batters and again - just perfect! The restaurant lacks a pre and post meal lounge seating - that's the only very slight negative. We will go back - definitely.

Such a fantastic meal at the White Hart Inn, Ludgvan. The fish and chips were truely amazing. I highly recommend their very high quality food and welcoming atmosphere.

Having passed many times when travelling have started to stop for a break and have been pleasantly surprised especially how the staff welcome you like one of the family! the food has always been great value for money and there is always nearly something new to try on the specials board and they have a New exciting Menu starting soon which looks really Good.

This was our best dining experience while visiting Cornwall. The setting is amazing; the house is exquisite, and the meal was top drawer...lovely presentations and delicious foods. Everyone must try the "very Chocolately pudding cake" My husband and I had a wonderful experience.

Would higly recommend this restaurant. The food was great!! I had a chicken dopiaza which was one of the best ive ever eaten. quick and friendly service and free WIFI too. Great if your on an over night business trip and need to access your emails like i did!

We chose Amethyst for valentines night. It was a risk because we hadn't been there before. What a find! We were greeted at the door and served by the same very helpful waitress all evening. Food was fabulous and a fair price. I love the decor; very stylish indeed and my wife was given a rose as we left which made up for the fact that I hadn't! We will certainly be going there again.

Amazing italian restaurant. Really good food, tidy servings. All staff are friendly and the place has a warm lovely ambience. : )

We stayed at Smeatons View, St.Ives during the February 2012 half term break... what can I say? An absolutely stunning cottage/ apartment located centrally in the busy Fire Street area and within 2 mins walk to the harbour. The quality and standard of the accomodation was second to none, with every concievable gadget or device - like being home from home. The whole family now have post holiday blues.... thanks for a truely wonderful experience.

we visited country skittles over last weekend and i must say it was a great night out the children were happy and kept entertained throughout the evening food was really good i had the grill stones the first time i have ever had one and it is a great experience everyone must try.will definitely be back again.

the meals are very nice especially there sunday carvery.the staff are very friendly and helpfull.ill recommend it to anyone who would like a family meal

Very good , I had the 21 day rump steak and it was fault less . The ale is great too

Excellent food, friendly and efficient service, good value for money.
I came upon this restaurant by accident and found a little jewel in Charlestown.
I will definitely eat here again.

Carn brea castle is fab ,we have been now half a dozen times and it gets better every time. I am a local and can see it from my back garden . Any one who wants something a bit differant or a special night out Its fab the steak cooked in whisky is awsom. The owner alwase makes us smile and if your lucky will play his drum . Igot taken for valantines day and it was realy loverly . Its quite rustic food and may not be to everyones taste but you realy should give it a go .

Have never been to the Thai Orchid before and was not dissapointed. I booked a table for 2 on Valentines night where a set meal was in place and the food was amazing, the atmosphere was so relaxed and the staff was very helpful, would strongly recommened and will return to try move of the courses

Just had lunch and it was absolutely delicious really nice flavours and great service,i was a head chef for many years and they are doing something right in this restaurant.5 stars

WE MOVED TO CORNWALL 2 YEARS AGO AND TRIED SO MANY INDIAN RETAURANTS ROUND AND ABOUT THE AREA.WE ENDED UP BEING DISAPPOINTED SO MANY TIMES AS THE FOOD SEEMED TO BE SO ANGLICISED NO MATTER WHERE WE TRIED.THAT WAS UNTIL WE FOUND SAGOR BY ACCIDENT.PERCHED AT ONE END OF THE "SHEEPS BRIDGE"AND OVERLOOKING THE CAMEL ESTUARY THIS INDIAN LOOKS UNREMARKABLE FROM OUTSIDE.ONE COULD VERY EASILY MISS IT ALTOGETHER!INSIDE,IT HAS RECENTLY BEEN REFURBISHED AND LOOKS CLEAN AND BRIGHT.STAFF ARE POLITE AND ANXIOUS TO GET IT RIGHT.IF IT'S NOT ON THE MENU THEY WILL MAKE IT ANYWAY.THE FOOD IS JUST THE BEST WE'VE TASTED IN THE LOCALITY.THIS FOLKS IS THE REAL DEAL FOR INDIAN CUISINE AT IT'S TIP TOP BEST.DO'NT MISS OUT!

I went to the Greek restaurant last Saturday and had a fantastic meal, the food was the best Greek food I have ever eaten, the atmosphere was superb, and I will definitely be visiting again very soon

Went here for Lunch in January. Nice bright eating area with friendly staff. Menu offered a carvery and typical pub grub which erred on the side of generousity in regard to portion size. Food was good and served within 15-20 mins of ordering. Will go there again. Car park was rather full, but parking on the road outside was possible.

Superb food & wine and excellent service. This is our second visit and will keep coming back.

Beautiful hidden gem, full of character. A lovely cosy place for couples. I thoroughly enjoyed my oriental meal and my typically Cornish boyfriend loved the steak!

Me and my husband just celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary at Camelot Castle Hotel and had our breakfast and lunch here at Irina Restaurant. The food is delicious and cook to perfection. Superb! All the staff are friendly and hospitable. The atmosphere and ambiance is just fabulous. And the paintings of Ted Stourton adds glamour to the place. With Valentines on the way, Irina Restaurant is the perfect place to go for a meal coz it'a a place for Fine Dining, Elegance, Good Food, a clear view of Tintagel Island and this price is affordable.

We've been here twice now to this traditional pub. Warm and cosy with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As for the ale - served to the perfect temperature. The Thai food is second to none. We've eaten in the premises and used the take away services. Very traditional food,packed full of flavour. It's become a personal favourite of ours.

After traipsing around Newquay looking for somewhere to eat - we stumbled on The Fort Inn. The menu was very good and the specials board was impressive. The portions were good value for money and the real ale was served to a perfect temperature. The place was spotless with friendly staff. To top it all the views were awesome. We will definitely be back.

dont think twice this is a lovely pub great service great food.

i visited the riverbank on three occasions since christmas one for a anniversary meal, one for a family birthday and the other with clients i cannot fault the establishment at all the level og service we recieved on these occasions was second to none. I really enjoyed my food and the way the chef changes the menu weekly and according to what is in season and what is locally avaliable i must admit the level of food i received was like a rossete standard (shame they do not go for some rossettes)i will under no hesistation be visiting there again

Four of us visited Henleys 21/01/12.
The decor and ambiance was perfect and the service was first class. We all had starters and main course which were well cooked and the pork belly was to die for, but, there is always a but,I suppose.
The menu was very limited and as my wife is a veggie, really not much at all and my main course was small and only a bit of sea kelp, gravy, apple and pureed potato. I asked for a bottle of house red and received a nice Shiraz at £14.95, a bit steep for down here. The desert menu was very sparse and no one bothered. We lived in St. Ives, Cornwall for many years and were spoilt with excellent restaurants with reasonable prices. On that score, Henley,s has some way to go, but with a bit more imagination spent on the menu,portions and the prices, I am sure that this could be achievable.
I did mention the desert menu to one of the staff.

Visited Amelies for the first time last week with some friends who have dined here many times, We are so glad they introduced us to Amelies as the food, service and general feel of the place was very good, can't wait to return, we will tell our friends in Falmouth about it.

We have been visiting the Fowey Hotel for about 15 years and in all that time we have found the food to be totally delicious. The menu is varied and we never get fed up with the wide choice. The presentation is also superb. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We have come to think of them as our extended family. We have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for a wonderful dining experience.

You can't beat this good, wholesome, value for money venue if you love fish n chips as much as we do. The taste and quality is always excellent, served by happy, friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere.

Always eat here when on holiday,food and staff are second to none.When we visited this year we were a little dissapointed to see that the fillet steak was no longer on the menu so i requested that they could get some in for us and it was done.no bother!!

For staff to maintain excellent service on a very slow night shows how good this place is. High quality food, competently prepared, well presented and good value. Highly recommended

Thanks for the recommendation. Our gamble to book a new years event at this small restaurant (we've never visited before) paid off. What a smashing evening we had. Food was very good, entertainment (Slinky Minskies) was brilliant and the staff were very attentive. At £40 a head it was great value for NYE and was very well organised. Coffee was excellent too. Look forward to visiting again soon and will certainly recommend to friends and family. Great start to 2012!

If you want some real quality food at a local Inn this is the place to go. There is a specials board to tempt you and lots of options for the Rocks if you haven't had the Rock experience I reccomend you give it a go it is fabulous there are also lots of other options on the lovely menu The chef at the Manor has got alot of experience and it certainly shows in the food he presents you with.

Just a brief message to express our thanks for a wonderful Christmas Lunch yesterday, nothing to fault but all to praise.
John & Sue

Had another fantastic Christmas day at Rosewarne with the family - thank you :)

Thank you for a fabulous meal last night (14th Dec), the food and service was excellent. We all enjoyed ourselves, the balloons were a great idea.

Apart from my husband and I the other members had not been to Rosewarne Manor before but I think you will be seeing them again soon as many said to me it was the best meal they had had.
Many thanks again,Regards
Penny

I just wanted to thank everyone there for a wonderful Christmas lunch - we had a lovely time, the food was superb, service very friendly and I would certainly recommend you to friends and colleagues.

Thank you once again and a Happy Christmas!

Looking for a restaurant to eat during a quick visit and came across Stavros. Turned out to be brilliant, service and food excellent, I would recommend to anyone.

What a great restaurant! We had lovely pizzas in a lovly quiet atmosphere. Service was a little slow but we will deffintly return when we return to Falmouth!! :)

went tonight for meal with family. Wonderful atmosphere and lilliana is lovely you should give it a go the food is fantastic and i promise you wont be dissapointed shall definately be returning to this little gem.

Another enjoyable evening with excellent food, in a very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. A full range of menu options for "Italian" and "non-Italian" dining.

Great little place for a bite to eat whilst out shopping. Food is freshly made and tasty and staff very friendly. Highly recommended, we'll visit again.

TIP TOP for all Coeliac requirements. We have 2 chippies closer to us (1 also being Gluten Free), but prefer to travel the extra distance for freshly prepared Gluten free FISH & CHIPS, well done to Lester and his friendly staff, for making us feel so Welcome - no longer a stranger!
See you all soon
regards Debs & Nigel (St Columb Rd)

Lovely family run business. Traditional food and atmosphere. Large portions reasonable priced and authentically cooked. Would love to see more tapas style dishes, although I guess thats more spanish.
We had the bbq sardines and Feijao a hot bean mix. A one woman kitchen and what a job she does.
Very friendly.
Will visit again.

My husband and i enjoyed a sunday lunch,which was excellent quality,large portions,well served by friendly staff.
Reasonable cost,like the choice of plate size to match your appetite.
Nice extras would be a realfire in the woodburner to warm the ambience and a residents discount.
Great overall-well done.

We had a lovely lunch at the Glasshouse today. Good value for money, food and service really good and a lovely friendly ambiance. We will be eating there again very soon.

Stay with this guys, you're helping a lot of poelpe.

Great meal wonderful staff but when i had the Corish cheese board i expected some cornish cheese but it was brie stilton and chedder.

Having just stayed at The Ivory for 3 nights, we have to say we really feel part of the family. Jackie and Sammy looked after us wonderfully, lovely comfy bed, fantastic luxury bathroom and gorgeous breakfast, what more could you want. Can't wait to go back in Feb.

My husband and I have just stayed at The Ivory for a long weekend, eating twice in the restaurant, and have to say that both nights we were truly spoiled, with excellent attention from staff, fantastic menu and wine list, lovely homely atmosphere, the chips are to die for. We can't wait to go back for Valentines!!

Lovely meal - we had the meze which was fab. I asked to be told which of the dishes contained fish so that I could avoid them as I dont like fish and the owner made this clear each time. I was pleasantly surprised to be given my own special dish instead of the fish course which was a very nice touch. Would have liked more Stifado as this portion was small compared to the others and it was completely delicious, although there was certainly enough food. A really lovely, memorable meal.

Wir waren eine der ersten Gäste im "Ivory" für Bed & Breakfast. Wir waren überaus angetan von dem liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichteten Zimmer und dem luxuriösen Bad. Nach einer 14 tägigen Rundreise war dies für uns mit Abstand die beste Unterkunft. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen.

Fabulous food served by enthusiastic and welcoming staff. Will definately go again, and encourage others to visit and enjoy it too!

We had a fabulous evening with friends in relaxed surroundings and with some very special food. Would recommend'steak on the stone', cooking itself as you eat and also the piri-piri chicken which was moist and succulant - yum. Couldn't fault a thing on our first visit and would definitely be back!

wonderful food ,
lovely staff,
small building so not much space to move around ..but perfect for a intimate dinner

My father recommended this restaurant so I took my husband there for his birthday. The food was outstanding and a great variety to choose from at very reasonable prices. We will definately be returning and recommending to our friends. Thank you very much for a lovely evening.

Wow what a fantastic meal,one of the best we had in Newquay. Restaurant is beautful inside and the food is amazing.Would recommend the ice cream with clotted cream,fudge and a shot of Todka, yummy!

FANTASTIC is all i can say over this tapas restaurant the service is quick the food is to die for and i would recommend it to anybody for a great relaxing evening out without the children

After discovering this place after driving through Porth for many years, we stopped here and had the most amazing Tapas.
The service was friendly and excellent, the decor and atmosphere is tops, and the prices are very reasonable.
Recommend you try the Rum Mousse cake for dessert!

We have visited this restaurant many times over the years and have always found it to be excellent value with a friendly host and great food. This was our first visit since it has been a Tapas bar but the dishes were all very fresh and tasty and, if only we didn't live so far away, we would be regular visitors! Looking forward to our next visit!

What a great restaurant, after finding it we ate there three times. Great food, reasonably priced and good service. We will definately be going back when we are next in cornwall.

Been to this Tapas Bar Restaurant twice now and both times the meal has been great. A mixture of spanish and Greek/Cypriot dishes which you pick as many or few as you like. A nice relaxed atmosphere and Scrummy Choc and Rum Gateau Dessert. We will definately be back.

Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere, lovely host, stunning views across the beach and the best tapas ive ever eaten! It definately deserves a mention!

An excellent restaurant near to Porth Beach with an intimate atmosphere serving a good range of tasty tapas. Wine by the glass was also appreciated.

We had a fab meal with great service. A great venue with a relaxed feeling.
We will be back!

Fantastic restaurant! Brilliant service, amazing food, amazing service, oh and the pudding....oh the pudding, chocolate and rum moussecake! Definately revisiting this one when we next go there on holiday. A lot more than I expected from looking at the outside. Oh and it has fantastic views over porth beach if you sit in the window!

The best meal we had while in cornwall, nice fresh food, perfect view!!! thanks

We have visited this Tapas bar twice in a week, firstly for the location, over looking the sea and been able to sit outside in the sunshine and eat delicious food. The food is fresh and healthy, no chips in sight, also very reasonably priced. In the past when we have visited Tapas bars the dishes have been so small that you need 6-8 to have a decent meal. I have a feta cheese salad at £4.00 and Moroccan chicken at £4.50 which was very substantial. My husband feasted on the complimentary pitta bread to soak up the lovely garlic olive oil on his king prawns at £5.50 and wonderful meditarrean potatoes at £4.00 plus of course his favourite Choirzo sausage, we came over full with a bill just over £30 including drinks. In this day and age where can you find a great setting with healthy food, that gives you an evening to remember. So I recommend that you visit for yourselves and just relax and chill over a fab meal. For Debbie and Phil offer great service and value for money.

A real little gem in a very pebbly town.

We visited the Rock Island Bistro Tuesday 26th May to celebrate a birthday. We found the decor, service & food to be EXCELLANT, we will be returning again next year during our holday and will definatly recomending to family and friends. Thank you to all the staff for a very enjoyable evening.

We tried this restaurant because it was close to our hotel and we all enjoy Tapas. Its bigger inside than it looks and the decor is v nicely done with a mediterranean feel but not kitsch. We sampled 8 dishes from the tapas menu (although the main meals did sound tempting!). The food was all great, freshly prepared and v. generous portions allowing us all to try a bit of everything. The chilli king prawns were gorgeous with quite a kick! Soo good we ordered them twice! There was a good choice of wine to choose from and we had a reasonably priced Rioja. Phil who was waiting on was the consummate good waiter, welcoming, patient, helpful, accomodating, and efficient. Great Food, Great Views, Great People. We'll be back.

My wife and I were on a touring trip of Northern Island, Wales and South West England during September 2008 and stayed at a B & B at Porth for 3 nights just up the road from this restaurant.
We ate there on the first night and returned for the other 2 nights as we found that the food, hospitality and prices were excellent.
The decor is fairly basic but who cares when everything else is great. During our 3 visits we tried the Chicken Pesto Tagliatelle, Salmon and Pork Loin Fillets all very nice - hmmm I can almost remember the taste.

Me and my partner had a couple of meals there and I have to say the food was amazing. I can safely say that my partner thinks so too. We can't wait to go back.

Not the most stylish restaurant, but there is something quite unpretentious about this little place with its purple ceiling! Food was nice, service friendly...Yes, I can recommend going there, but don't expect it to be slap bang in the middle of Newquay, cos it aint (£6 each way in a taxi) Still, if you don't want to sit in the middle of hen/stag parties, this is the place to go.

Welcoming, friendly, relaxed bistro, with a lovely simple and fresh menu. Any restaurant that makes the effort to put nut roast on the menu, is a winner in my book! Excellently priced and the Cornish Cream dessert is too die for!! It should be put in a tub and sold next to the Ben and Jerrys. Cornwall in a glass!!Really lovely evening, recommend it.

Excellent meal here in June '07. Well cooked and presented. Service warm and welcoming; no rush or fuss. Best in locality.

The food is exquisitely cooked exciting the most sluggish of tastebuds. The ambiance is wonderful and the prices are extraordinarily reasonable! But don't tell anyone or I might not be able to get a table.

We have been meaning to try this restaurant for some time, having read the menu when we walked past earlier in the year, and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent and very good value, and the service is friendly but not intrusive. Nice atmosphere and we will definately be going again.

Having stumbled across this place at lunchtime, we popped in for coffee and loved the decor, atmosphere and friendly reception. We were tempted back for the evening meal by the varied menu and were not disappointed. The food was fantastic and catered for most diertry requirements (important for me, being a veggie!) It was a great find and quite reasonable given the quality of the food. A very pleasent way to spend a few hours in the evening.

Really friendly welcome from the staff at the Rock island. the food was prepared to exactly match our requirements. very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Really really felt like i had just sat down to a meal with my own family.

so surpeised to see this resturant on the net. When we were there the excellent refurbishment had not been completed,but the food was excellent! fresh homecooked and gut-busting portions. Excellent value for money,superb, a must to try.

This weekend was our first taster of Ben's Cornish Kitchen, booked up for an anniversary treat...it failed to disappoint!! Really great tasting and presented food, nice atmosphere and good service with excellent wine. We look forward to returning. A smashing evening was had, and again the food was fab.Nikki and Mark.

An excellent place to dine with our friends and we will definately pay another visit in the new year.

My wife and I started to dine at the castle nearly 20 years ago back in July 1992. I remember the date very well because it was the first place I took my wife for a meal in our courting days. It remains very special to us because of it's setting, the warm and romantic atmoshpere,the friendliness of Menear & Anne and of course because of the wonderful food. We have truly had many happy evenings there and hope to have many more.

My Husband and our 8 year child and myself regularly visit Cafe Lisboa. We really enjoy the prawns to start followed by Piri Piri Chicken and plenty of wine! Nothing is too much trouble for Elisabet and Fernando, in fact we have booked the restaurant for my husband's 65th birthday party - I can't wait!

i love this restaurant! , it has a lovely atmosphere and the food is astonishing and the service is sercond to none i am more than happy to review this restaurant and i would and do reccomend lisboa to everyone i meet the food is always cooked to perfection and the restaurant itsself is warm and extremely welcoming it was a pleasure to write this review and im a happy patron of lisboa
