"The Dining Room has a stellar reputation and going by Google reviews, exceptional in every way. And I will continue to beat that drum. I had the absolute joy of dining here last night. Meticulous attention to detail wove through the evening, through the food and service and ambience, pulling all the elements together into a work of art. The visual beauty of the food did not set you up for a disappointing mouthful. Every flavour and component was there for a reason and played off each other purposefully. My highlights were the truffle cheesecake with balsamic, the smoked cheese custard with Beetroot, the perfectly-cooked-melt-in-your-mouth venison and the rum poached pineapple cheesecake. I tasted many more from people at various levels of willingness to share and can vouch for the rest of the menu too. The value for money is worth mentioning as I left absolutely satiated, happy and not lacking anything. What a treat."

"A converted old farm building into a relaxing cafe in Trebetherick. The staff are always friendly (not teenagers pleasent and you are never rushed with your meal/coffee (great range of coffees and homemade cakes. A family run business and you feel relaxed as soon as you enter the doors. The premises are exceptionally clean and tidy too.The food is great, simple food like sandwiches, baggettes, etc. Good portions and always a nice side salad on the side. Most of the food/drink is sourced locally too I believe. You can relax outside on a hot summers day too. Attached to the building is a arty/crafty shop where you can buy pictures of the local area and craft pieces. Ample free parking, and a very highly recommended place to visit.They also have curry and thai evenings, and open most evenings into a restaurant, although I never have tried."

"that cannot praise enough. he started with a terrine. very nice I thought. moved to 35 days steak. £30 I was thinking it was a little rather than her predatory type places, but hey I am on vacation and in nathan outlaws restaurant, so I expect it to be a little higher. it was worth every penny. she saw perfection and proper melt in mouth cut and finally the desert. Now this is not really something I should be proud of, but I know my sticky toffee puddings and have a top five list where I had them (yes pretty sad). after having two poor versions in cornwall, I came with a argument that if they are square cut, then they are probably better, as single people in a round pudding seem to be the poorer wise. she said it was round, so I rejected a desert. my party ordered one for me at some point and I could not have been wrong if I had tried. this desert went straight to no1. heavenly. great view over the bay/Sea rek has a beautiful evening and all others also enjoyed their meal. I'll be back in rock."

"Punching above it’s weight in the seaside town of Padstein, it doesn’t get more convivial than this. The environs are cosy as in a we’re sitting around a barrel in a fishmonger’s kitchen kind of way. Make no mistake seafood is challenging. Pleasing everyone is difficult. On one hand you have fruits de mer served on a platter of ice while on the other we have dishes that delight without overwhelming the star of the show. If you’re not squeamish about prodding what goes on your plate then you yourself can select the clearest eyed and reddest gill piscine produce this side of the seashore. Be prepared as some of the crustaceans can nip back. The mackerel was a revelation. It had umami without being overly unctuous. I sensed charcoal flavours on the crunchy skin but did not see a BBQ grill in the kitchen. Order 2 so you don’t have to share. They eschewed beer batter in preference to tempura and my son’s hake was the better for it. My wife and I are still talking about that seafood stew. It was recommended by another patron and as we were tucking into it with gusto, saw others observing us and uttering that infamous line from ‘When Harry met Sally’. The waitstaff are absolute jewels but not magicians. Book early. I hear tables are still available in 2020."

"I had an absolutely fantastic experience at TJ's Surf Cafe during my recent visit. The beachside location created a perfect ambiance, overlooking the stunning Cornish beach where people were enjoying body surfing and surfing. The atmosphere was captivating, and the staff were incredibly friendly, enhancing the overall welcoming vibe of the place. My family and I were all delighted with the food. While the kids enjoyed a delicious pizza, I had the pleasure of indulging in the most delectable and juicy burger I've had in a long time. The flavors were exceptional and left me craving for more. TJ's Surf Cafe truly stands out not only for its mouthwatering food but also for the overall experience it offers. It's a place where you can savor a delightful meal while immersing yourself in the beauty of the surroundings. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone seeking a memorable beachside dining experience. It's a definite must-visit!"
