Restaurant Reviews in Penzance

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Myself and my partner come her a lot, whether we are on our own or with friends. The food is of a very good standard and the service is relaxed and friendly, which is all you want in a restaurant. If you are looking for fine dining food and service then it's not your place, however!! If your looking for really good food with lots of local produce, a good choice of menu and a friendly service then this is the place. As a local I know that once upon a time it was a old wharf side building pulled in all the goods shipped in from sea, and with no road out the front, the ship unloaded next to the granite building. The restaurant keeps in touch with the history which I find unique and quirky.

i came here with my family on 26th sept2011. we all had an enjoyable meal and were made to feel very welcome. the youngest of our group (only 16mths old) had a special fish shaped plate for his meal. we all wanted to try the deep fried Mars Bar(but weren;t sure about it!!) so asked if could have one between us. no problem. very enjoyable evening. thank you.

beautifull prepared food excellent service and friendly staff also caters for baby needs which was great can not wait go back

Excellent food well presented, Very good wine choice and friendly non intrusive service - all at a resonable price too!
I shall be returning to this establishment and recommending it to friends.

Just came back from a lovely Sunday lunch at The Sportsmans, fantastic choice of local produce, Guaranteed you will not leave hungry.
Most definitely reccomend the restaurant to anyone......Staff were extremely friendly well mannered.
Cannot wait to go back!

Excellent food & Service!!!!

Would highly recommend the sportsmans arms to anybody, had an extremely enjoyable meal, fresh local mussles were Fantastic!! had to be the best mussles I have ever eaten and needless to say i did not hesitate in polishing off the plentiful portion!!!!

Brilliant selections of real ales, beers and ciders and not forgetting the desserts! wide menu of home made desserts, my wife enjoyed the cornish cheeseboard and therefore we will most DEFINATLY visit the sportsmans again when we are back in Cornwall!!!!
Thankyou for a fantastic experience!

Recently stayed in Heamoor which is walking distance to this pub and cannot recommend it too highly.Great atmosphere great food and me and the family made to feel really welcome .Must do the steak and curry nights as superb value .Hope to be able to revisit in the future

I took my family of 7 for dinner at the Boatshed
A warm welcome and great service afforded us a terrific evening out, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the range of food whilst I personally relished the abundance of fresh fish on the menu.
The desserts were equally delicious and the selection of wines and beers fitted all tastes.
A big thanks from all of us, you'll be seeing us again!

The food was consistently good (went twice) and well presented. The "Specials" changed regularly to provide plenty of variety. The staff were friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. A relaxing environment.

I cannot rate Ricardo's highly enough. A thoughtful and perfectly prepared menu meeting excellent value and a wonderful host makes Ricardo's in my opinion the best restaurant in Penzance and deserves a visit.

We had a wonderful dinner at Gino's during our weeks stay. Our only regret was we discovered it at the end of the week! This is an authentic old style Italian restaurant with lots of mouthwatering choice! The local fish done in an Italian way is a delight, I started with fish soup which was out of this world! This is Italian food at it's best not only like Mamma made but better! More authentic than eating in Italy! All washed down with a bottle of Orivieto Classico which is our favourite Italian wine but not often seen these days! Just to complete the perfection the restaurant overlooks the sea and we were served by Lilianna the most charming proprietress whose attentive service deserves your business!!
I asked Lilianna for cards to put in the recommendation book at our holiday let so that others can enjoy this great place for dinner! We will be back!!

We had the best meal of our whole two weeks here, and a comfortable stay too, with our dog. Breakfast was also outstanding, but it is the dinner we shall remember for a long time. We shall return, hopefully.

We were fans of the 'old' pub but when we returned to see the wonderful renovation, we were delighted. The ambience was excellent and our guests were thrilled with their fresh crab. A lovely experience.

I have been looking for a place to eat , just good english food,now i have found it ,when i say looking its took us 11 yrs.If you want good food ,cook just right at a resonable price ,you will not do better than "THE OLD INN" at Rudgvan ,Penzance.

Been to the Boatshed on several occasions and always had wonderful food. The restaurant is execellent with great value food and atmosphere is lovely. Recommend the restaurant for evening dining and cafe nice for daytime coffees and lunch.

I have just returned from a week in Penzance, staying at Rumstore #5 apartment which was wonderful. Had three wonderful dinners at the Boatshed Restaurant. Great Sunday Lamb lunch, marvelous steak cooked by Nigel the owner, and a wonderful fish dinner on our last night. Fantastic cheese cake. Would definitely recommend both the apartment and the restaurant. Nigel was a wonderful host.

As a short stay visitor to Penzance, I sought out a Pizzeria, or an Italian restaurant, where I might order a pizza. When I discovered Ricardo's I though that this would be ideal, and I was right! As expected, I was able to sit down and order a pizza which was cooked to perfection, and served promptly too by a very helpful waitress. Later, Ricardo himself arrived and he was equally pleasant. No criticisms at all! Except, maybe, to get a licence so that an Italian beer or two may be drunk with the meal but not important!! I'll certainly come again when I next visit the Southwest of England.

A very good clean pub with a good atmosphere and pleasent staff. We picked a quiet night as we were the only people in but we were still made very welcome and we had a well cooked meal.I could recomend this pub to anyone who is ready to eat well and not feel let down.

Myself and my partner just spent a week in cornwall in a cottage across the road from the Trewellard Arms. They were very welcoming and friendly and the food was outstanding. We especially recommend the sunday roast which came with about 8 or 9 different vegetables, one of the best roast dinners we have experienced at a restaurant...top marks! My partner also enjoyed sampling the many ciders on offer in their beer festival, especially the Shark Bite! We hope to revisit again soon.

It was simply to die for !! Excellent, delicious traditional dishes from local farms and very friendly and willing people. I would most definitely recommend it.

Si vous passez sur Penzance, n'hésitez pas à manger dans ce resto. La nourriture vient des fermes environantes, le personnel est vraiment sympa et vous ne vous ruinerez pas !

Eating out at Gino's is a great occasion. The menu is superb, with a good choice of dishes from pasta to steaks and other meats. With friendly good service, and a stunning view, this is a restaurant worth visiting time and time again.

I recently visited The Boatshed with my family and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I don't normally write reviews but was so impressed by the quality of my evening I had to make note. Welcomed by friendly staff and seated at a gorgeous wooden booth, the food served up was delicious and of a good portion size. With an extensive menu from fresh fish to a nice juicy steak, and a good selection of sharers too for bigger groups to nibble on, I will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family. And the desserts...save some room for cheesecake!

4 of us went to Ginos very recently (Mrch 2011) and we had the most wonderful meal ever. Top marks for Ginos, and we cannot wait until we go again in 3 weeks time. Highly recommended!

I have travelled extensively round the U.K. The wheelhouse restaurant is the best I've eaten at. Their Carvery is excellent.

I usually visit Cornwall around Easter time each year, sometimes its hard to find a comfortable restaurant that will accept large families and offer a great range of freshly prepared food. This year our B&B recommended The Boatshed Restaurant, the location and décor was fantastic, taking influences from the very material the restaurant is constructed from, old ships masts used as timber beams and nautical artifacts made this dinning experience somewhat special. The ambience was good, the staff were attentive and well informed and the food was the best we have had in our ten years plus of visiting Penzance. If you are lucky enough to visit The Boatshed, I suggest the Special Sirloin Steak or one of their fine fresh local fish dishes. Five Stars, see you in 2012.

After having dined at The Sportsmans on several occasions now, I felt I just had to write a review - the first time I've actually ever written a review for anything.
On every occasion it has been an excellent evening out. The food, BRILLIANT - locally sourced, homecookedand always plentiful, you will never leave hungry. There is a wide selection, something for everyone. There is also a wide choice of beers and wines; and all of this is extremely reasonably priced.
The service is excellent, friendly and helpful at all times. The restaurant is suitable for all ages, I've taken my elderly parents and demanding friends, all leave having had a great evening out.
This is an excellent restaurant that is well worth a visit and comes with our highest recommendation.

The quality of food and service in this pub/restaurant is second to none. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough to make the dining experience a pleasurable one. The menu is interesting and always has a variety of choices - including some excellent vegetarian dishes; the quality of the meals is excellent too - always very tasty and hot and wine prices are reasonable. It's the sort of place you can take elderly parents and youngsters and everyone will find something to satisfy them.
Long may it continue!

very friendly, welcoming and fast service.
food was excellent and catered for my children too.
defenatley reccommend the carvery 5*

this place is so friendly and relaxed i could hardly believe that it was so busy and all the staff remained calm and paid attention to each an eevry one of us. As for the food i do not know where to begin, it is very tasty and worth every single penny, we have returned many times on our holidays and would not come to cornwall without paying the boatshed a visit now.

I recently went to this restaurant for the first time the food was outstanding along with the service it is definitely a holiday eat out to go, I strongly recommend it.

WE HAD A BRILLIANT MEAL AND THE SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD. THE PROPRIETER WAS VERY EFFICIENT AND WE WERE NOT KEPT WAITING FOR THE VARIOUS COURSES WE HAD. MY WIFE BEING A SMALL EATER WAS VERY WELL CATERED FOR AND SAID THAT THE SATAY SAUCE WITH THE BREADED MONK FISH WAS TO DIE FOR.
WE WILL NO DOUBT GO THERE AGAIN

Exquisite food as always presented beautifully. Service as always perfect - never rushed but never too slow. This is our favourite restaurant in Penzance - this time we tried their Sunday local good heros menu which we recommend highly.

we went to the cornish range with our friends for our christmas meal after seeing the lights the food was excellent the service really good and a good night out was had by all

We were treated to the pre-christmas dinner by the previous reviewer. We were made to feel very welcome & the meal was excellent with plenty of choice. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting good food & pleasant surroundings.

Had a Christmas dinner last night with two friends, and found the service to be very friendly. The food was delicious, well cooked and the price wasn't over the top. Would recommend.

This restaurant has the most amazing view in Cornwall and the meal matched this view perfectly. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food was superb. One of the best places ive been for food in a long time

I recently took my girlfriend to The Old Coastguard Restaurant for a Meal. I have eaten here before but not for a year or two and was delighted by the new menu. It gives a wide choice of foods and has a good selection of fish which I expect in any restaurant in and around Newlyn. All the produce was local and both the bar and waiting staff were exceptional and were pleased to help with any questions I had about the menu. The prices were very reasonable and the portions generous. Thank you for a fantastic night

Excellent meal. Lived up to expectation. Good choice of local produce. Very well presented. Great ambience. Friendly staff. Amazing location

What a treat! Both the bar and dining area are attractive and appealing. The crusty bread sticks, olive oil and balsamic vinegar were the first clue that this was going to be well above average. The food didn't disappoint. The menu offered a number of interesting choices. Owners pride themselves on using local suppliers and doing most items in house -- soups, dressings, etc. I opted for scampi -- fresh, local wholetail -- while my husband went with meaty pork ribs with home-made barbecue sauce. Both were excellent. Another time I plan to try a cheese plate featuring local artisan cheeses. Prices were moderate -- dinner entrees between 7 and 13 pounds. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent value.

I ate here on my holiday the owner/chef is a really nice bloke, we had a nice chat and a really good piece of fish. Not a 'posh' restaurant, but good food, well made by someone who loves to cook. It was one of the best meals I had on our holiday and the most reasonably priced - I recomend it without reservation

I Love Renaissance cafe, The Food is quickly served,the presentation is always Great and the Food is amazing! But what i like most about Renaissance is the Lovely friendly Staff, who are always Smiling and So polite. I go into renaissance everytime i am in town, because it is really relaxing and has got a lovely view! i would recommend Renaissance cafe to anyone especially the Magherita pizza & a Summer breeze to Anyone!

i come from penzance but i now live in torquay, however i try to make a point of visiting whenever im down because i love it so much. its easily the top of my list and friends i bring to penzance also love the experiance

Very tasteful surroundings and beautifully prepared food. Definitely worth a visit - looking forward to going back! *****

The waiting staff were unfriendly and unhelpfull after pointing out that three of the rib starters were still frozen in the middle an extremely rude manageress stepped in to deal with our complaint. She suggested to rectify the situation by 'giving them another blast in the microwave'. We obviously refused if for no other reason than basic food hygiene. She then refused to give our table of eight a fresh starter as this would involve having to open another packet.
After settling our unfairly substantial bill of which we were not given our change. I politely confronted the Manageress about the quality of service given which she took great offence to and abruptly asked us all to leave, no explanation and no appology.
Absolutely terrible service, poor food.

A most enjoyable Thai meal

We had a fantastic meal in this restaurant. food is absulutely perfect and staff are great. We definitely coming back again here...

As a 'mature' diner of more years than I care to disclose, I have to say that the squid starter, the fillet steak main and the delightful chocolate torte were possibly the finest I've ever enjoyed anywhere in the world. This little coastal gem HAS to be experienced!

My sister and I had an amazing lunch recently at this restaurant. The food was wonderful, from the selection of homebaked breads to the simply but beautifully presented fish dishes. The excellent food was matched by a great wine list. Our only complaint was that the table for two was two small to hold all the dishes we had ordered! It was a fantastic lunch and easily stands out as the best of all the restaurants we had visited in that week's holiday!

We went to the Renaissance Cafe and Bar on two seperate occasions in August 2010. On both visits the service was excellent, the food quality was superb and the costs were extremely reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending the Renaissance to everyone both local and visitors. Very well done and thanks for making our visits so enjoyable.

This is my favourite restraunt in penzance.I have enjoyed both lunch and dinner.The basic menu is a pleasure of freshly prepared delights and ideal for lunch with the girls. I must say that when I dined in the evening I was pleasently surprised that the standard was raised again and the views, to die for.Its so lovely to see local fish and produce used and prepared. Highly recommended.

Mackerel Sky not only serves really nice, reasonably priced food in a lovely tranquil setting, the staff are really nice - I accidentally left some cash on a chair during my recent visit there and I phoned them after leaving and they had found it but were very happy to send me the money in the post! Recommended.

My wife, young son and I visited Penzance in July on vacation from our home in Boston in the United States. We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. The food was really good, and the service was attentive. My wife, who was originally from Thailand, praised the food for its authenticity - it tasted just as it would in Thailand. Although we only had a limited time in Cornwall, we returned to the restaurant for dinner a second time a few days later, ordered different dishes, and were again delighted. Strongly recommended.

We first arrived feeling tired and hungry and was met with a warm welcome and a lovely smooth guiness. Good selection on the menu we choose curry and beef stroganoff which was freshly cooked to perfection. The puddings were home cooked and fab. We returned a couple of day later and was not disappointed by the high standed and quality of food. The service was friendly and really efficient and would recommend it to anyone. A real treasure. Arrghhh

Absolutly fantastic , high reccommend. We found this wandering around Mousehole for the sea salt festival , we sat in the garden out back , sheltered from the cornish wind , very attractive , the staff were great , I asked for my sandwich to be a salad , not a problem and when it arrived it was superb , my husband raved over his mackerel and the children very happy too sharing a bowl of chips alongside a crab sandwhich . It was all so good we had to try to the puds , a trio if ices and a fantastic choc tart for my husband who by now was sitting in corner with big grin on his face .Will be telling all our friends heading down to cornwall.

The best take-away out there. Beats Chinese and Indian anyday. Always busy, always friendly. Enjoy.

food is excellent , very friendly atmosphere and friendly staff, very clean. and very good prices. pizzas are awesome.

We went for a drink at the old inn and found a pleasant and welcoming pub with friendly staff who served fresh and tasty food in generous portions alongside proper Cornish cider. Would recommend!

A little hard to find but the Sunday Lunch is excellent. A real sense of old world charm. Even better now they have extended the dinning room

besides having a striking view of penzance harbour, the renaissance serves tasty, fresh, local food and has delightful employees. don,t pass it up if you're in the area of lovely penzance.

great food in a beautiful traditional pub in beautiful country, lovely food too!

great food in a beautiful traditional pub in beautiful country, lovely food too!

The food is fantastic and reasonable. The staff are lovely. My favourite place in Penzance.

Situated in Ludgvan this Inn is full of surprises.A lovely warm fire greets you with a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff and dogs are welcome. The menu offers traditional food as well as a fantastic selection of huge Pizzas with mouthwatering choices that it is difficult to choose as they are all excellent and are made on the premises. Real Ale and reasonable wine.Look out for the wall paintings of Ludgvan over a century ago All goes towards a lovely experience.

I ate in the Sportsman's while passing through the area earlier this year. The food was so good I went back again for more 3 days later. There is a wide range of dishes on the menu, all of excellent quality, generous portions and beautifully cooked. Yet the prices are very reasonable. And the staff are very friendly as well. I'm going back that way soon and will go and eat there again I'm sure.

Excellent Sunday roasts, served from 12pm to 8pm, and only £5.95 as well. Very generous size meal, have been twice now and struggled to eat it all.
Lovely village pub, well laid out, with a nice warming fire and and a lovely welcome.
Will certainly be visiting again.

Had a super lunch. Food piping hot. Steak cooked absolutely as requested. Proprietors Nick and Gaye, charming and the ambience reflected this. Will certainly be back together with the family especially as gammon about to go on the menu.

great menu,sunday lunch not to be missed,good ale selection,great atmosphere,best pub in the west!!

Absolutely excellent service, friendly, good value for money. Meals arrived quickly, waitress really happy to help and serve. Landlord and landlady very friendly. Can't recommend the food enough, been there few times for steak, and a sunday roast. They are now even offering takeaway meals, will be tempted to try their fish and chips or curry or pizza or chilli, can't wait!!!!

The Sportsmans Arms is a pub and restuarant that must be visited. Having dined there on many occasions I can recommend a visit. The service and quality of the food and ale are second to none. The menu is varied,but sensible. What sets them apart is the fact that they listen and hear what you say and will adapt the meal to suit you. All food is prepared on the premises,cooked fresh and is sourced, where possible, locally. Candi, the chef aqnd all the team are an asset to The Sportsmans Arms. We have taken many friends, family and visitors from America to The Sportsmans Arms and without contradiction every one of them have enjoyed the meal and good old fashioned courtesy. The main thing I like is the fact that you can enjoy a meal in the dedicated restuarant or if you prefer eat in the bar and get the same quality of service. Both are equally pleasant.

This place is a great surprise, you just don't expect to find one of the best pizzas you'll ever taste in a proper traditional British pub, but that's what you'll get at the Old Inn. We've eaten here a few times now and have never been disappointed, the service is friendly and informed, but the food itself is the star. Easily the best pizzas I've had, not just in Cornwall, I mean ever. Have I mentioned that the pizzas are great? Give them a try yourself, you'll see why I'm raving about them.

my family and i ate at the fountain inn last week and the food was amazing it was lovely to sit by the fire and i greatly enjoyed my steak which you could clearly tell was good quality, i would recomend it to anyone and we will certainly go back on our holiday next year.

Took my elderly mother here whilst on holiday last week. Excellent fish and chips and service to match. The music's good too!

This unusual restaurant (decor themed as though in the bowels of a pirated ship) serves large portions of good food quickly. Opening at 6pm, we have found it an ideal place to have a good meal before travelling the 8 or so miles to the Minack Theatre for an evening performance. There are intimate booths or large round tables for 12 plus diners.
The ribs are fantastic, the scampi portions are the largest I've had and the cider is deliciously cold.

excellent food.you must try the pizzas.very nice owners

We had a fabulous three course lunch at the Cafe. The menu was varied with plenty of choice to suit everyone, and the specials excellent. Good value for money also. the service was excellent, attentive wihout being intrusive with a fabulous view of the bay. Would recommend the rhubarb crumble with armeretto - out of this world. Had a very enjoyable birthday celebation meal - thank you Renaissance.

I live in Crowlas which is minutes away from this lovely pub/restaurant. We have been in many times for drinks but not for a meal. We have recently had family down therefore we had a meal out. The old Inn was fantastic for everything. The food was great and home cooked. The staff were brillant and the whole place had a very relaxed and has such a homely feel. We will definately be back and have told them so :)

The food and service at The Pirate were fantastic. The four adults in our party all had different dishes and loved them all. The children's menu, unlike a lot of places, offered the same quality of food as the main menu. A good, varied menu with local produce and flavours from far afield. A great selection and desserts to die for!
A very large garden area and children's play area make it a great place to entertain the kids before eating. Will definitely go again!

Food great, helpful staff, lovely bar recommend a visit before going in to restaurant. Had a lovely time. Thanks

We visited this pub a couple of times whilst on holiday & thoroughly enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere & varied menu which was very reasonabley priced. The fresh homemade pizza (made in front of your eyes) was delicious & recommended. We will definately give this pub/restaurant a visit next year.

This is one of those country pubs that you immediately feel at home in. It became my new local instantly about three months ago during the process of moving home. There's a good selection of beers and ales plus the usual spirits, etc. and some decent wines. However, the combination of a newly installed specialist oven and the landlord's skill makes for some pizza to die for. There's a standard pub menu as well, but the pizzas are awsome! We now try and get out there at least once a week for a pizza (did I mention those?). Please go there and give it a try, our local pubs need support! PS - dog friendly too, if your out for a walk, walk this way!

This is my favourite haunt in penzance.I have enjoyed both lunch and dinner.The basic menu is a pleasure of freshly prepared delights and ideal for lunch with the girls.I must say that when I dined in the evening I was pleasently surprised that the standard was raised again and the venison was to die for.Its so lovely to see local fish and produce used and prepared to unfussy tastiness !Highly recommended.Love to sit having coffee and tiny delicious doughnuts watching the world go by...a real treat.

We visit Branwells Mill Meadery most Saturdays, the food is excellent and the service is good, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Go and enjoy an evening out.

Pizza with passion, I can eat a whole one and still want more.

The Old Inn at Ludgvan - wow, what a fantastic, homely place. We had the most wonderful pizza, and even saw it being prepared and cooked in their special pizza oven. The landlord prepares all the dough etc in front of you, and if, like us, you wanted specific toppings on one half, and not the other, he was happy to do this, and we now eat out there regularly, well done The Old Inn, oh yes, and great real ale too my other half says.

By far the best restaurant in the area.The choice, presentation and taste of the food is sublime.
The staff are simply fantastic always helpful courteous and very efficient also funny.
IF YOU HAVE NOT DINED HERE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED.
I rate this 10/10

Good food, varied menu recommended

This is an absolute gem on the harbour in Mousehole.
The value for money food is quite superb and the friendly staff full of enthusiasm,
And you can't beat the locale!

i have had fish and chips here many a time and the owners never fail to meet my expectations, infact every time they exceed my expectations greatley i live quite far away, up in kent and i love visiting penzance the highlight of my visits is the evenings when i visit captains. i would rate this fish and chip shop 10/10 this is by far the best fish and chips in the world

Excellent unfussy food, attentive staff, and a very nice place to stay for a few days if you love walking.

We went to the Pizza Patio at Newlyn to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was not the first time that we had dined there and as usual the food was superb. The staff were extremely efficient and very friendly. There were three children in our party and we were all made to feel very welcome.

Scrumptious freshly prepared food. Brilliant value at £12 for 2 courses before 7.30 pm. Desserts were to die for.

I felt I was taken back in time. A journey through Cornish History, together with the unforgetable eating experience, inspired by Cornish tradition, left me breathless with the fulfilment of a meal, I can only look forward to a return to this venue of excellence.

Three of us had the most fantastic lunch last week, the highlight of which was crab linquine with chilli, although the bitter chocolate brownie with chocolate mousse was superb. This is definitely a foodie's paradise, but with ample parking and lovely clifftop walks to finish. Can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu.

Nice friendly atmosphere, good food and wine selection. At last a restaurant in Penzance where you can buy Prosecco by the glass!!

The food is fantastic,Ever time we visit Cornwall we will eat here or get a take away, The Service is very good.

Although you state you have full disabled access, we were recently turned away, as our mother was in a wheelchair and we were told that the only table she could use was occupied. This is not really full disabled access and we were disappointed by the attitude.

Once again we ate at Bakehouse and received first class service and outstanding food the restaurant is very comfortable and you are never rushed which makes for a most relaxing evening.

We always try to visit Captain's Restaurant at least once when in Cornwall. We had a meal there in July 2008 and, as usual, the food was excellent. There is always a friendly reception and you will not taste better Fish & Chips. Try a bottle of 'Betty Stoggs' which goes perfectly with the meal! A top class establishment well worth seeking out.

excellent fish and chips the best in the area

There are few places in Cornwall which are disabled,dog and family friendly and do great food for breakfast, lunch or dinner, coffee, a casual drink or a business lunch. The Pool-side cafe on the Promenade in Penzance is one of them. With a backdrop of St. Michael's Mount and the stunning Mounts Bay it is our favourite eatery and we show it off to our visitors as often as possible.

The food and service here were great. The sea bass was fantastic, and I've never had such fabulous sauce tartare - freshly made that day, and with huge chunks of capers. Fab!

This is one of the best fish restaurants I've ever eaten in! The owners are great, very warm and friendly and the food is freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. I can heartily recommend the haddock - absolutely delicious! Definitely worth a visit to eat-in or take-away with lots of choice.Enjoy..

I had a delightful lunch of fresh Asparagus(picked that day) and a stunning Sole main coourse.
Charming. Well worth a visit

Our favourite place to eat! We eat here regularly and we are never disappointed. The salads are always different and always amazing. The cafe has a very welcoming atmosphere, the staff are extremely friendly and the food is always fab! They also use loads of seasonal and local produce, so a great place to go if you want to reduce your carbon footprint!

Our meal there a few weeks ago was perfect. We eat out at a fine restaurant once a month and have been doing so for 8 years in Cornwall now. My husband and I agreed that this was the best meal ever. The fois gras starter melted in my mout and was devine. The assiette of lamb was wonderful as well. Quite a lot of the items we didn't even recognise but they were delicious as well. Out sweets were to die for as well. The chef, Barnaby Mason, is a genius and I hope he remains here for awhile. He deserves a Michelin star.

My wife and I had lunch on Sunday 8th March. We received a warm welcome and sat in the window so we could admire the view. The decor was very tasteful and our lunch was fresh and full of flavour. We will be back to enjoy another meal. Well done.

I had a lovely lunch there recently. The food looked and tasted great, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The Bay restaurant serves consistently high quality, imaginative and well presented food. The best vegetarian food I have found in Cornwall. Service and setting (views overlooking the bay) are both excellent. Worth every penny.

Fantastic - Best Tom Yum soup i've had in years! - very friendly, and reasonbly priced - if you get the chance to visit - dont miss it!

Lovely laid back atmosphere, warm friendly staff & delicous food. Enjoyed it so much we came back for a sunday roast the next day I have to say one of the best value roasts I've had.

We had excellent food yesterday, at first unsure as I am not used to all the fancy food, but I gave it a try and the food was delicious, reasonably priced and with the delightful view what more could we ask for.
The menu changes regularly so the menu is short but varied.
we will be back!

In your description of The Cornish Range you write that Chef Keith Terry knows what local people like to eat. Well, coming over on vacation from Los Angeles, we have to say that Chef Terry knows what Californians like to eat too! I enjoyed the lamb shank while my wife raved about her lemon sole. Superb meals, both of them. Served by couteous and efficient staff the whole evening was one of the best we had on our entire trip - which included a few days in France. As an artist, I particularly appreciated the local art on the walls. A wonderful retaurant on all counts.

This gourmet food is new to us & we felt like royalty at this superb hotel. The food was beautifully cooked & presented - a work of art. We're looking forward to our visit next year now that we've found you. Thanks so much.

excellent food, very nice, polite people and very clean, open kitchen

We went here on the off chance that they could fit us in having read a review about the restaurant. I am so glad they found us a table. The restaurant was smart and welcoming and the staff friendly, The restaurant overlooked the bay and the whole place had a great feeling. We were asked if we would like a drink and had these on the decking outside while we checked out the menu. The menu was just great it was difficult to decide what to eat. My husband is a chef and very choosey but even he struggled with what to order as it was so good. We decided on Moules for him and a Ewes cheese salad for me - both just divine. I then had the Venison - a first for me and loved it while my husband had Steak. It was cooked to perfection. Somehting he is very fussy about. We couldnt manage the dessert which was a shame as they looked lovely. The meal including 2 glasses of wine, a lager and 2 soft drinks was just under £70 and worth every penny. I would say that the food was far better than I have had in a long time and would beat many London restaurants hands down. My only regret was that we didnt get the chance to go back. A fantastic meal at a very reasonable price.

Excellent service from the moment we booked. all the staff went out of their way to be friendly, helpful, sincerely cheerful, and looked after us very well. the food was outstanding! Great flavours and beautifully presented. Excellent wines. All together a very satisfying evening. Thank you.

Loving Cornwall is one thing but if you're not into pasty's & chips where do you go to get something different & good at the same time? Well thank God while taking a nice walk down Queen St. in Penzance I was so pleased to see a new (to me) restaurant & it was Thai! I've apent a lot of time in Penzance & surrounds & I'd never seen a Thai restaurant before.Boy was I happy! I was even happier when I went back for lunch! The food is absolutely gorgeous, delicious, prepared with care & prettily presented. The staff are friendly & helpful yet professional. For two weeks after I hardly ate anything else. I HIGHLY recommend Sukothai to any & everyone visiting Cornwall! You will NOT be disappointed! I can hardly wait to go back! P. St.Mu

Very good food, wine and atmosphere
Great value
An oasis in a desert

Had lunch at The Bay today and thought it was so good I would write a review straight away. The restaurant and view were stunning. The food was superb. The staff were brilliant. Two courses in at award winning resturant for £11. The table next to us had an infant(well behaved) the staff went out of their way to accomodate them with food and highchair. The best I have had in a long time and will be going back.

I went for their 'early bird special' last night and it was great! Friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food. I will definitely be going back for more!

Its so refreshing to go somewhere - as in the Cornish Range at mousehole and have consistently good food, with excellent service and a great wine choice, time after time. This time was no exception - and as well as two wonderful dinners from which we staggered replete back to our cottage we also ventured in for breakfast - or more correctly brunch - an inspired new offering from our favourite restaurant. Eggs Benedict that were sublime! Two slices of the most wonderful back bacon - cooked to perfection - with crisp edges on top of a toasted muffin, with a perfectly poached egg and drenched in a heavenly, home made hollandaise sauce with the tang that only good fresh lemons and the skill of a supreme chef can achieve. So good that we HAD to come back the next day for more......Highly recommended as a very good way to start the day! As well as finish it!

Spent my honeymoon in Cornwall 20 years ago and came back to celebrate my 20th anniversary and divorce.So glad I picked this restaurant...lovely food,great service....the staff were really nice.....will visit again[sooner than 20 years away] and have already told friends about it who are visiting next week..........Thanks for a great end to a crappy marriage.....Tina

After a very long day visiting The Tate galleries in St. Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Garden, followed by a drive around the Lands End Peninsula with its stunning views, a tea and a tour of the amazing Minack Theatre with its dramatic setting, arriving in Mousehole and discovering "2 Fore Street" was a sheer pleasure and the most relaxing way to end the day. The young, friendly and very accommodating staff, the excellent quality of fresh seafood, cooked to perfection. The restuarant is light and bright decorated in a contempory style, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and yet conveys the buzz of excitment. We are pleased to recommend "2 Fore Street" and wish them every success.

These guys are amazing - the food was fantastic, the service first rate, but on top of all that, I lost my phone while on a film shoot in Cornwall, and they came out with torches on the street at night, and stayed with me for ages until one of them tracked it down. Plus they invited us out dancing with them at a nightclub round the corner. Best restaurant in Cornwall!

I popped in for a picnic to go. The staff couldn't have been more helpful in suggesting things to have, and in adapting what was on offer to suit my wheat intolerant partner. Delicious well filled doorstep sandwiches (tasty, succulent beef; BLT; ham); a chargrilled chicken salad; and sweet nibbles (caramel slice, flapjack, and saffron buns) were all rustled up in 20 minutes, and supplied with wooden cutlery. Smashing lunch on a summers day.

We visited the Cornish range in Mousehole, after many years'absence, on the strenght of a new chef. All I can say is that the Old Coast Guard's loss is the Cornish Range's gain in terms of their former employee. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive. The food more than matched the quality of service. My wife's crab bisque and my strips of fillet steak in a filo basket with a red onion marmalade made excellent starters. Our main courses of the pasta and roast hake with broad beans, asparagus and choritzo where beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. I alone managed a 'pudding' and thoroughly enjoyed the lemon trio. The menu overall is well balanced, although I would like to see a more extensive wine list and more wines available by the glass. This is a restaurant that is well worth visiting and comes with our highest recommendation.

Absolutely splendid - the flavour of the burger was like that of a slice of roast. It was fresh made in a lovely light bun with an excellent mixed salad and hand cut chips. The dessert, cheesecake in a chocolate shell was delightful.
The service was spot on - friendly and efficient.
All in all an excellent dining experience.

Great Burgers here

We recently came on holiday to have a lunch at the restaurant. The food was excellent, better than we have tasted at other Thai restaurants. We would recommend anyone to come and taste the food here. The service was friendly and personal. Do give this a try.

Great food, reasonable prices, comfortable surroundings and friendly service. What more could you ask! I will definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely excellent food. Lovely home made bread cooked every day and home made icecream...try their Baileys Ice Cream, it's to die for!!

My husband and I traveled through Cornwall with cousins in March 2007. We had driven quite a bit that day and were looking for somewhere overlooking the water to have a glass of wine when we spotted Gino's. It was getting toward dinnertime and once inside we decided to eat. We had a great table by the window and delicious food and wonderful service. The young girl helping her parents in the restaurant was a delight. We enjoyed learning about her schooling and just visiting with her. Very enjoyable.

Visited three times now for Pad Thai , and Super currys’. Quick service and cheap for what you get. Try a Thai beer its lush.

Fantastic and inventive vegetarian meals, served with brilliant salads. Even my husband who is not a vegatarian enjoys whatever he orders! Modern and very clean restaurant with extremely friendly staff. Will keep going back for more.

i recently had a lovely meal at the blue snappa in penzance. the service was great.. they need to get moet on their menu though

Fabulous food - great vegetarian selection. The staff are always friendly, and they work closely with the local food community to provide healthy, fresh fare at good prices. The atmosphere is also great - bright, sunny and colourful! Hearty recommendation!

What a treat! One of the best veggie eateries that we`ve been to! Food was mouthwatering... Being a chocoholic veggie I thought I`d try the vegan chocolate cake... it was delicious! Decor light and funky, great position fantastic staff, this will become a haunt for us in the future!!!!!!

We were greeted with a warm friendly smile and so the evening progressed. Good food, good beer and good service - we will be eating there again and strongly recommend others do the same

Superb meal, excellent wine and service, will definietly recommend. Particularly liked toasted oatmeal meringue and berries and goats cheese in light batter with rosemary jus. Steak was very good. Great to find such a gem in Penzance.

This is the place to go for a quiet leisurely lunch. We have been in the evening but it is too popular. This cannot be said about lunchtimes, however. We were the only people in the restaurant with the pick of the menu and exemplary service. The bonus is that one of the main courses came free! If you want a good Indian meal look no further.

Having recently been to cornwall to visit my daughter I thought i would express my opinion on this restaurant. The food itself is lovely, all the family enjoyed it that was until I politely asked if we may have some wine bought to the table. I was told in a very rude manner by the barman that this would not be possible and when i asked why he got rather aggressive with me and we ended up leaving before we had a chance to eat our puddings. Its a shame because we had a good evening until then and enjoyed the food very much. Excellent food, poor service!

Brilliant place, found over New Year when I was visiting my sister and nowhere else was open.
The food was really great and I will definitely be paying a visit the next time I am in the area and recommend this place.. The desserts were just out of this world.

Friendly service.Great Menu.We have never been
disappointed in this super Restaurant.

What a fantastic turnaround Charles Inkin and his staff have acheived in a few months. Now the best Sunday roast for miles and a very good place to eat at any time.

becoming a bit of a regular diner here the food is excellent, all locally sourced and cooked to perfection with outstanding flavours. the lamb shank in particular was delicious and just fell off the bone and who would have thought you could make mashed potatoe so smooth.the staff are very friendly and welcoming, so to are the lovely log fires at either end of the bar, a nice reward at the end of a brisk stroll along the coast path.fantastic!!!

we just love The Navy & the superb food. found it two years ago & have been back many times

The food was 1st class, well presented and cooked to perfection,it was reasonably priced and the staff were really nice, this was an all round dining out pleasure

Excellent restaurant. Authentic Thai food with high quality ingredients at a reasonable price. Excellent Thai wines. I’ll be back.

Gorgeous thai food, the best i've had for a long time. Good sized portions and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and brilliant service. Can't wait to go back.

Every year I come to Cornwall i have to come here! I love it. The Ameretto coffees are to die for! and the staff are so polite and nice... especially one of the guys who looks like a model.

Excellent place designed like a ship inside. Great food! Recommended

Good food..had the cream of crab soup to start and lamb shank. nice atmospheric place. book in advance as gets busy.

the sea palace in penzance has to be the best cantonese restaurant in the south west, i go as often as possible the food is the best i have tasted and belive me i have been to plenty of chinese in my time, the service is out of this world,never had any problems i the 15 year i have been going their, take my word try it for yourself you will not disappointed [enjoy]

Definatley one of the best restauarants in west cornwall. We have eaten here whilst on holiday on a couple of occasions and rate one of our favorites. The restauarnt is set in a side street in Mousehole with an intimate setting and sublime food! Not cheap but worth every single penny!

Good food, relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu!

Stunning location enhanced by stunning food! This is THE place for eating in Penzance - I have relaxed into the evening on balmy summer nights, watched the moon rise over Mounts Bay, and considerd that I could be anywhere in the Med, this is Cornwall at it's finest. The food is cooked to order (the salads are to die for), the wines are fresh and interesting, and the music funky but not intrusive. Eat here now!

Fantastic service,Great value for money, had a great time!!!!! thankyou!!! xxx

Great place, so lively and the waitress's are heavenly. The food's good too, the cod dish i had was amazing. Good cocktails and a real buzz, I'll be going back soon.

Went with friends because heard they do good veggie food. The meal was first class. Fish was cooked brillinatly and three veggie main course options for my veggie guests. The cost is not cheap but I think it's probably fair enough. Although we couldnt afford to go every week. Still try it out you'll be glad you did.

three of us had an excellent meal with drinks for a good price. very busy restaurant but no pressure to "eat up and pay up". A real find.

I was so impressed with my meal here that I went back and had another a couple of days later. A good range of dishes, freshly cooked and delivered to the table promptly, great atmosphere and desserts freshly made not out of the box. Plus a good wine list and friendly staff. I can't reccomend this place highly enough.

I ate at this friendly restaurant while i was in Penzance visiting friends. The food was excellent and well presented. Stevie and her staff really look after their customers.

"I don't often say this, but here goes: WOW! That is some view - and great food. Daily Telegraph. ( Tralel Section ) Dec 11th.

what a great cafe, stevie the owner is brilliant and all round this is just what is good about Cornish food and eating places at the moment. If only the tired and washed out eating places in Cornwall could get to this level.

What a wonderful place...food good, good service and the general ambience of the place was indicative of the time and care that the Proprietress and her staff put in to ensuring that the customers comfort and well being come first. All in all a great place to eat.

Sea food was excellent,Some of the best sea food dishes i have experienced,Very friendly and curtious staff,Very good money for value,Have recommended to all my friends and family, Will be Returning there soon. Keep up the good work. Thanks john miller

My husband and I eat at Gino's Spaghetti House on a regular basis. The food is excellent, and the staff are polite and nothing is too much trouble. The owner, Lilianna is always there to welcome you with a smile. I have never had a bad experience while dining there, and look forward to many more visits. Keep up the good work Gino's!
