Beautifully simple, thin & crispy, Roman-style sourdough pizzas. Lovingly sourced, authentic Italian ingredients, from Bufala Burrata Mozzarella from Campania, salamis, hams and cheeses from Bologna to our aperitivi, spritzes, wines and unmissable home-ma
Enjoyed our two pizzas here, very tasty but it was a shame the waitress wasnât interested in us, seemed very bored with her job & just in a hurry to take our order & then to get us to pay.

Enjoy the very best of Cornish food, cooked to perfection, in this relaxed and friendly riverside location. The restaurant looks out across the beautiful River Fowey. In summer the outdoor dining terrace is perfect for a light lunch, or al fresco dining i
My wife and I stayed in the hotel over New Years, and ate at the restaurant for the special New Years celebration, so the menu will be different from the normal dinner menu. Having said that, if the regular menu is anything like what we experienced on NYE, the food will be exceptional. The menu was clearly very thoughtfully and carefully curated, with strong but beautifully balanced flavours. We were blown away.Weâve been fortunate enough to have eaten at some of Cornwallâs big name restaurants, and what we experienced at Cormorant was well up there.To top it off, the restaurant is situated in a lovely setting overlooking the river. A true hidden Gem. Would thoroughly recommend.

A Relaxed Waterfront Restaurant.The bright restaurant leads out onto a spacious terrace where on a sunny day you can enjoy afternoon tea (the Cornish way of course, jam first!), A pre-dinner glass of fizz, or a long and lazy lunch. It's a great spot to wa
We visited the restaurant at the end of August for a family dinner. The service was friendly and attentive and the food had the potential to be great. The raw ingredients looked good and fresh and the combinations were interesting but... everything was heavily over-salted, to the extent that I couldn't finish my main. This is such a basic error and really disappointing for an established restaurant, especially given the hefty London prices.Thank you for your comments about your recent visit to the restaurant at The Old Quay House in Fowey. I have shared your comments with the Chef and his team and we are sorry that we didn't meet your expectation during this visit. We do hope that you would visit us again in the future.Kind regardsAndries Loots

We created Pintxo to share our love for Spanish culture, sherry, wines & delicious tapas. Located on the Esplanade in Fowey, enjoy our sunny outdoor tables just a stone's throw from the harbour.
Fowey is full of pubs, bakeries, lots of places down on the riverfront...but head away from there, up to the Esplanade..and although you won't get riverside views you will get (or at least we did) great tapas, excellent selection of wines, and friendly service from enthusiastic and friendly staff. Step away from the centre and enjoy some great tapas...thank you, loved it.

Located in the Mediterranean Biome, this a popular place for lunch. Nice range of good well cooked food but be prepared to wait during busy times.

OK, so Lostwithiel is not the âfoodie capital of Cornwallâ nor is it amongst the trendiest of destinations in this tourist mecca but Asquiths makes the place well worth visiting! On finding that our holiday cottage was â361 ftâ from the restaurant we really had no excuse.A warm welcome followed by complimentary olives/mushrooms/tomatoes set the tone very nicely and swiftly followed by a glass of our chosen wine...my wife asked for a glass of Malbec which was provided without quibble even though it was not on the âby the glassâ list.The menu is nicely short (4/5 choices per section) but with plenty of variety. Food was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The stress that Asquiths places on sourcing quality local ingredients led us to expect something a bit special but we were delighted with just how special it turned out to be. This is high quality dining but with sensibly sized portions (by which I mean that you actually get properly fed unlike with âup itselfâ cuisine). I could rave on about my menu choices but, given my wifeâs reactions, hers were just as exceptional so weâre confident that everything else will be just as good...in fact weâre going back before we leave just to make sure!The damage came to £90 (plus tip) and, although weâre from Yorkshire, we considered that amazing value for money!The only question we were left with is...where are you all? OK, Thursday evening on what turned out to have been the hottest day of the year, ever, (everywhere except this part of Cornwall BTW) but we were the only diners! Please patronise this place if you get the chance...it would be criminal if it were to disappear because itâs a bit off the fashionable trail.

Trewithen Restaurant is one of the most renowned restaurants in Cornwall. Its reputation is founded on two key ingredients - great food and first class friendly service. Trewithen is open throughout the year, serving a varied seasonal menu to both a loyal
My wife and I was staying at a local B&B within in walking distance on Wednesday/Thursday evening and decided on the 18th to visit Trewithen as having read Tripadvisor reviews. We started the evening of complimentary bread with Cornish butter/Olive Oil and Balsamic/Curried Butter( excellent) followed with starters of local Fowey Mussels £7.50 ( the best fat meaty mussels we've had for ages... terrific). For mains ( choice of 2 extra side dishes) Grilled Hake Fillet on Saffron Risotto, Brown Shrimp &Smoked Chilli Salsa £20.00 plus my choice of Vegetables and Cornish Dauphinois ( lovely fish and risotto plus my greedy Dauphinois... I ate toooo much). My wife had the Battered Fish with Pea and Mint Crush, Home made Caper Mayonnaise and Chunky Chips £15.00 ( she said everything was excellent but could not eat all the chips.. Shame they were lovely crispy and fluffy inside). To accompany our meal we had a 250 ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc £9.30 , 175ml Malbec £6.10. Their service was attentive and pleasant with no service charge.

A visit for my mum's birthday. What amazing food. The 4 of us shared a seafood sharer which was brilliant. Mussels were so fresh and tasty.My wife had boathouse burger and loved it. Especially the quick fried gherkin. The rest of us had seafood linguine which was to die for. Chef is brilliant and very creative. Lovely food and highly recommend.Thank you

Samâs on The Beach, is situated in a beautiful restored RLNI Lifeboat House right on the oceans edge on Polkerris Beach. A stunning location and decor with exceptional views and evening sunsets over St Austell Bay. Dishing up locally sourced and caught Se
Lovely location. Beautiful settings, views and the overall restaurant itself is very nice. Staff - seemed to lack a bit of enthusiasm and seemed quite unorganised. Had to prompt for drinks orders to be taken. Food was lovely and they really do a great job of seafood. Drinks are overpriced £5 the cheapest pint and that is their own lager too! Overall, lovely place and lovely food. Just let down in a few areas which is slightly disappointing when your paying top money.

A fabulous, reasonably priced, family-run restaurant in Carlyon Bay, Cornwall catering to every taste. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Just returned to our hotel having taken an early dinner at Edieâs. We popped in to book this morning & was met with a welcome, cheery smile and chat. Returned this evening to a beautiful atmosphere. We were sat at Table 12, it has a view of the chef, Nigel and his extremely caring and efficient team. The feeling of calm was palpable and appeared to work like a well oiled machine. The waitresses were young, knowledgeable and very friendly without being familiar. The menu is not extensive, but beautifully put together to suit even the most discerning tastes. In addition to that, there are daily specials. We had the pigeon to start and choose the pan fried hake and the neck of lamb as mains. The quality of presentation is superb but overshadowed by the wonderful tastes on our plates! I didnât want the meal to end. Unusually, we had dessert, the blackberry soufflé with lemon sorbet and a treacle tart with clotted cream and salted caramel. The whole meal was exemplary. I can honestly say that it equalled a meal we had in the summer at a Michelin Star restaurant for a birthday celebration. We urge you to book and visit this wonderful little restaurant and enjoy possibly one of the best meals youâll have in a while. Fine dining without taking a mortgage out!
