Restaurant Reviews in Port Isaac

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.

Whilst on holiday in Cornwall earlier this year, we decided to visit Port Isaac. After parking we saw The Edge and decided to stop for a coffee before making our way down to the harbour. The Owner and all the staff were extremely friendly so much so that we decided to have lunch there later that day. Would like to go and stay in there hotel opposite but do not remember the name of it, so if anyone can help i would be grateful.

have visited previously over lat few years with mixed results. Visited this year, service was poor, food even worse. Cheap frozen 'fries' gammon had a sickly thick coating of something which is not mentioned on menu. Other food was dry and obviously been overdone in a microwave. Expensive for such rubbish. Will not be going there again.

What a find, small cosy picturesque traditional cornish pub with welcoming hosts and attentive staff who as a team provide one of the best and wide ranging menus I have seen,and sampled in years. Food is well prepared and very well presented, high quality local ingredients and served with care. Highly recommended.

Five of us ate Sunday Lunch at the Cornish Arms. The roast pork was the best we have eaten for some time. The deserts were beautiful. Service was as you would expect from eating at the home of a good friend. We shall definitely go again and will sincerely recommend it.

FANTASTIC!! visted last august (2010) and had a beautiful meal, extremely friendly staff and pub is clean and tidy and we throughly enjoyed it. would highly recommend eating out here. Visiting Port Isaac in a couple of weeks (june 2011) and will definitley be visiting for our dinner!! Thank you Golden Lion!! :0)

My husband and I first dined at The Edge restaurant in Port Isaac on our 6th wedding anniversary. We were thrilled to be able to return to The Edge once again for our 10th wedding anniversary in September 2010. Everything about The Edge is wonderful, right down to the amazing views across the cliffs and out over the Atlantic. The food is splendid. Perfect sized portions and just the right length of time given between courses. The staff, who are extremely pleasant and helpful, the ambient music and the decor all add to the experience which is first rate. The menu has a fine selection of quality courses and good choices for vegetarians as well as including as much local produce as possible.

Popped in to Port Isaac on a whim on route back from The Eden Project - found the Moat and they let us book a table at short notice - it was fantastic and the service efficient and friendly without being overbearing. A rainy tuesday evening yet it was very busy and a wonderful buzz. Back here in Surrey we wish we could beam ourselves down there on a weekly basis to enjoy the ambiance and seafood flavours of such a wonderful place.

We can highly recommend the Mote, food Fantastic, we were here in June, and had a few lovely meals, and are on our way down again for the weekend because i havn't stopped thinking about the crab sandwich's

Discovered the Cornish Arms while spending last week surfing in Polzeath. Traditional Cornish pub serving good real ales, a good menu, but the icing on the cake was the Thai menu. I had the most delicious Thai fish cakes I've ever eaten, followed by a very spicy chicken dish, which certainly had a good kick to it. Great to find this sort of establishment amongst the generally very samey pub grub establishments and fish and chip shops. Landlord and lady were also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return when next in the area!

Lovely lunches and superb breakfasts.

Myself and my girlfriend visited Cornwall in June and went to the Golden Lion 3 times. The first time their chef was off and they arranged for us to eat at The Mote, the next two times were both excellent. Their seafood chowder is fantastic, its a really friendly place, and the beer is excellent-if only it was my local!

Really nice friendly pub, food was brill, atmospher was great will deffinately be back soon xx

Hi, we were in Port Isaac last week and found the Golden Lion the best for food and for drink,and a very frienly welcome, i reccomend the fish n chips and the rattler cyder

We ate here on 11th September with my brother and his wife (Derek Ewell) who has already left reviews. Although we didn't want a big meal what we had was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are so lovely and make you feel very welcome.

We ate at this restaurant last night and the food was excellent. Except for a slip up on the steak cooking everything was spot on. The lobster was exquisite. The servings were very generous, especially the veg., which wasnt an "extra" ( which make a pleasant change these days). The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. This is definitely a restaurant to return to. However, make sure you park at the top of the village otherwise you will probably be in for a lengthy detour as parking near the Slipway is extremely limited.

What a fantastic place to eat and drink in a very quiet Cornish Cove. The bar menu is amazing with plenty of choice for every one, and beautifully cooked and presented. The restaurant is also well worth booking with a good selection of meats and local fish to chose from.The staff are all friendly and efficient. My wife and I have been going there for 3 years now and can't fault it. Graham the proprietor runs an excellent house.

Having stumbled across this gem on our first night of the holiday, we couldn't bring ourselves to go anywhere else the whole week. The seafood available on the specials board was always fantastic, and the steak and fish on the menu equally so. The atmosphere is extremely friendly, relaxed and not at all pretentious - All that matters is the food. We couldn't recommend it highly enough - It's even very reasonably priced, so there's absolutely no excuse not to go and try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

I went here in October 2006, the food was absolutely delicious and the portions large. I had some very fresh and perfectly cooked sea bass. However I did find a caterpillar in my mange tout! to be honest though it had burrowed itself in and would therefore have been hard to wash out, and I was given a full refund on my meal. My partner had the same and also enjoyed every bite, would definitely recommend, although the waitress was not particularly cheery... even before the mange tout incident!

My wife and I ate here twice in May of this year and found the food and service absolutely superb.The bar lunches are wonderful and quite reasonable in price but the restaurant was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble. Well done Graham & staff.
We shall be back in September

15th May 2005 A first rate meal, good reception excellent service ,welcoming professional staff. delicious scallops cooked to pefection. likewise the freshest cornish sardines. genuine,honest professional presentation and cooking, rare in this country! and much appreciated. Anne Spragge

My wife and I recently visited The Mote while staying at Port Gaverne. What a wonderful meal we had served by excellent staff and superbly cooked. Pat had Scallops followed by Peking Duck with plum sauce and she thought it was wonderful. I had Thai Prawns followed by Monkfish & Squid with Singapore noodles. The food was so good that neither of us could eat a sweet. The wine was also very good and reasonably priced. Pat & "Delboy" Ewell Dorset.

Lucy Asher: The Crow's Nest has a very friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel welcome.Perfect views. I say that they also serve the best cream teas.Worth a visit and we shall pay a visit when we are on holiday again this year. Jamie Sleeman: Quite possibly the most friendly, charming, homely and welcoming pub I've ever been in. The people who work there are courteous and considerate, the food is wonderful, and the clotted cream and scones are so good they bring tears to the eyes! We stopped by last November when we had a three day break; we will definately be in again in May when we have a whole week down there. One of the best things we're looking forward to!

Our first experience at the Mote - and it exceeded our expectations! Accompanied by our 15 year old son who "did not like oriental food" but chomped his way through chicken satay and then demolished a wonderful monkfish in brie and leek sauce followed by the "best chocolate torte in the world!" We had delicious prawn spring rolls and ginger king prawns followed by melt in the mouth peking duck in plum sauce (with beautiful real plums!)and the freshest thai red king prawn curry. No room for dessert, more the pity as they all sounded scrumptious! Definately on the list for our next visit to Port Isaac!
