Reviews in Cornwall

When you turn up at this restaurant, you think that this cannot be the place that you have heard is well worth a visit. In fact you even start thinking of excuses of why you must leave! But ... when the food starts coming out, you are thankful that you stayed. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and it is amongst the best that we have ever had. Every dish was a delight and we kept laughing at all the noises of enjoyment coming from fellow diners on the next table. We will make the Journeyman a regular visit to try all the dishes.

Recommendations: The restaurant says that it sources its food locally and the freshness shines through. This is simple cooking superbly done, with sympathy for the ingredients as evidenced by the daily changing menu. The service was unobtrusive but attentive. A jug of water was offered which was a welcome change from most competitors. The restaurant is simply and tastefully decorated; although crowded it was not overly noisy. The food was not cheap but represents excellent value. Booking is essential to avoid disappointment as there are (from memory) only about thirty covers and it is deservedly very very popular.

The Alverne represents a very good dining experience. The food might be characterised as modern British with European influences.It was well presented in proper proportion. While not cheap, the food represented excellent value. The ambience was very pleasant; tables sufficiently far apart to allow privacy but not suggesting a hushed atmosphere. The decor and wall hangings were fresh, modern, eye-catching and pleasing. My only quibble was that the wine was opened away from the table. But the waitresses were so personable and unobtrusively keen that I did not complain, particularly as the wine was as it claimed on the bottle.

recently had lunch and then came back for evening meal, it was fabulous, they have a lovely garden at the rear. the pub itself has so much real history. the food was great, so much choice, lovely staff (very friendly)and for such a small pub the selection of real ales were great to see. I would highly recommend this lovely pub.

Went last night, Friday and the place was jumping. Great atmosphere and cracking cocktails. We didn't have any food but we will in the next few days or so. I love this palce and what it now brings to Truro.

Had an amazing meal at Chantek the other night .. have lived in Malaysia for many years so know what good Asian food is, and this was totally authentic. Ate far too much and the sticky rice was out of this world. Very attractive modern decor which is a change from the oldeworldy look so often found in the west country. Kids menu was a hit also with my two and healthy! They even tried and liked the pan seared tuna starter i had!!! Will be returning often ... oh yes and lovely staff too :)

I love the fact that you can watch the pizza chef making your pizza, always made to feel welcome, love the traditional style of inside the food is fantastic, just discovered they do take-away, even with pasta too

I love this place. Just a bit of background information to anyone who doesn't know - this place is a joint venture between The Hub and Onshore, both of St Ives. The pizzas at lunchtime are wonderful. You can't beat a wood burning oven for flavour. The pastas and fish dishes are also yummy. I haven't eaten here in the evening yet but it's on my list of things to do. As most other folk are saying, this place is a great addition to Truro.

A Great Find. Freshest food ive had served on a plate in Cornwall anywhere. We stayed the night, the quality of the guest rooms is akin to a swish London Hotel. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

it can't really get much better than this place. best view in st ives over the harbour, unbelievable food and good range of wines at sensible prices. this place deserves to be in more eat out guides, possibly the best food we've had whilst in sunny Cornwall

At last big city life has come to Cornwall with this great new addition to days and nights out in Truro. Goodbye Meadery and hello sexy One Eyed Cat. We ate and drank here last night, the menus are amazing as is the attention to detail. Best atmosphere in a grand old church too. 1st class, open up more please

I went to Fifteen for dinner with a group of female friends and had a thoroughly wonderful evening. We were seated in a semi-private room at a lovely oval table overlooking the magnificent Watergate Bay - wow what better view to compliment this very stylish restaurant. We chose to go with the £90 wine tasting package, which to be honest I thought was extremely expensive, but after sampling all the different wines to compliment each course, I realised this was the best option. Each dish we had was superb, presented with style and sophistication. The restaurant was totally full, and the atmosphere was brilliant. I would definitely like to return to Fifteen, but obviously because of the price it will have to be a special occasion place for me.

I went to One Eyed Cat last Friday with some friends. The food and service was great, I would definitely recommend the Tandoori Monkfish and Salmon Fishcakes. This has without a doubt raised the benchmark for other restaurants in Cornwall.

Just happened to stumble across this restaurant and what a find it was. 3 courses for £20 (excluding drinks) of the most taste bud tantalizing food we had all vacation. The tomato soup with truffle oil, was to die for, the crab rissotto full of flavour and a really succulent steak (£2 extra) we were unable to manage a dessert. Highly recommended. Hope this restaurant goes from strength to strength.

Went on Friday night, enjoyed the food immensely and the atmosphere was great, a busy and vibrant place to go. Talked about what food we are going to have next time on the way home!! Definitely returning, well done!

I went there for dinner Sunday evening and I had the nicest bruschetta I've ever had! really really tasty. Will definitely go back.

A fabulous meal for 4, including two children (always difficult!). Starters were delicious, the breads beautiful and the seafood platter the best I have ever eaten. I strongly recommend any visitors to the area to go the extra mile and eat at Kota - you will not be disappointed

My husband & I ate at Langmans last night and it was a truly memorable experience. You are treated as a personal guest and treated to a wonderful meal of the highest culinary standard. They took particular note of culinary/dietary restrictions and made sure everyone was able to enjoy their meal to the full. Everything about the evening was excellent and left us wondering when we could arrange to visit the West Country again, so that we could enjoy the experience again. Our only regret is that we live so far away! Do give this place a try - you will not be disappointed.
