I went for lunch recently I always try new restaurant openings, I confess that I had been to Tabbs when it was in Portreath and had a great meal. So expectations were high especially as the new Tabbs was so beautifully decked out, contemporary with high backed chairs and elegantly laid tables. There are still a lot of people who go out to eat in Cornwall with a certain expectation for the food to be plentiful and low cost, that? fine if the restaurants policy is to buy at the lower end of the produce spectrum and there are plenty of places to go for that. When however the chef is accomplished, passionate and wants you to be bowled over by intensity and purity of flavour and wowed by presentation, the menu is designed to give a balanced and satisfying meal over three courses. Always letting the top quality of the ingredients speak for themselves, this is what Tabbs is all about! Quality over quantity. I was very impressed by lunch here, from the breads made fresh every morning, the exciting starters to the main of rare breed duck and the house speciality- the desserts. They work very hard at the attention to detail and the fact that NOTHING is bought in no not even the petit fours. Truro is achanging and as the more discerning diners hone in, there is a place for Tabbs as there is for Saffron, Chantek, Stingi and others. Bring it on !

Chantek Thai and South East Asian Restaurant – TruroOn the strength of the Good Hotel Guide 2002 we stayed at this excellent small hotel last year, and were so impressed that we booked for a longer stay in September this year. We cannot speak too highly of the ambience, comfort and cuisine. The whole hotel has been redecorated in elegant, tranquil colours. Dinner is taken in a candle lit panelled dining room, while breakfast is served in the conservatory. The choice at breakfast was quite the best we experienced in any of the hotels we stayed in during our recent holiday in the south west. A five course was also beautifully cooked with a choice of four starters, main courses sweets and a good selection of local cheeses (although we did find the portions over generous.) The menu is complimented by a very reasonably priced wine list. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom containing a walk in shower as well as a bath. After dinner we were tempted to linger over coffee in the hotel lounge where comfortable sofas and arm chairs, as well as the log fire made us feel very much at home.
Boscundle Manor Hotel and Restaurant – St AustellExcellent homemade organic breads, Real food in the cafe, amazing breakfasts and lunches. Everything the cook needs to make exciting dishes at home plus a superb selection of local cheese and pates. Try the sausage rolls made by local people for local people!!
Cornish Deli – St IvesMy friends and I eat in St. Ives regularly and find it a fun and relaxed atmosphere, the portions are huge and service extremely quick and friendly. Would recommend for a great night out.
Mex The – St IvesWe have eaten in the restaurant and had a take away delivered to our apartment. The food was attractively presented and full of authentic flavours.
Indian Summer The – Newquaylet me tell you something, I always go for breakfast with my mum in two places in truro! One being Saffron there ten deadly sins are amazing! But secondly I go to Coffee traders, the food here is fantastic quality for the price and I am always full I think they should get alot more trade in the early hours as well as go there for a light lunch too they serve fresh coffee and bites what more can you ask for
Coffee Traders – TruroGreat food. Enjoyed ourselves immensely. Bonus: woman running the restaurant the night we were in was incredibly hot! Worth it for her alone!
Mex The – St IvesWe have visited St Ives for over 15 years - we stumbled on this bistro.... what a find!! Its like Lucy finding Narnia...Fantastic, honest, fresh, gorgeous food....lovely staff...divine wine...The meal was a symphony of tastes & the chef is a conductor....It was truly exceptional. Go along, try it. Kids are welcome. We don? have any but didn? care. If you love food, love wine, love your partner & want a good evening then this is where you should be....
St Andrews Street Bistro – St IvesThoroughly good restaurant - cannot find fault with it.
Mannings – TruroAnother really good Sunday lunch was had this week. We ate our fill at the well above average carvery which is good for vegetarians and walked the dog over to the mount. A good way to spend a November Sunday. Staff were very attentive.
Godolphin Arms – MarazionI have to disagree with the previous comments that the food is so so. The new winter menu is fantastic-esp the Moroccan burger! Fantastic meal-glad I found this little gem in Truro. Good atmosphere and bubbly staff. Top notch!
Mannings – TruroMy favourite St.Ives restaurant. Atmospheric interior, gorgeous food and good service. Recommend the Carpetbagger - steak in brandy sauce with mussels.
Hobblers – St IvesI think this restaurant deserves more credit! Have been there so many times and the staff are very friendly and warm. They tend to serve you as if in Thailand no empty beer bottles or wine glasses to be found. On some occasions there has been a wait on the food but usually this is because of how amazingly busy the one small kitchen is. The staff there always look busy and happy! The food is amazing and such a variety I don? think I've sampled every dish yet! Maybe they should do cards so you can cross off which ones you've had. If you're looking for an outstanding Asian restaurant then this is the place to be in Truro and the quality of food out ranks all it's opposition in this area!
Chantek Thai and South East Asian Restaurant – TruroStunning location, lots of added value, car parking, bar, lounge, terrace in fine weather. They have worked hard and rightly deserve the awards and accolades they have received over the years for showcasing all that is great about South East Cornwall. Keep up the good work!
