"Friday 25th August 2023, My husband and I we saw a sign for a 17th Century Seafood Inn at Cadgwith Cove, and so we decided to explore this further. A steep narrow lane winds down to a small cove, divided by a small rocky promontory. Thatched stone cottages cluster round the beach. It is a working fishing port and local fishermen catch mainly crab and lobsters out in the bay and these are sold at the fish market on the quay. We parked the car in the car park at the top of the hill and took the path down to Cadgwith Cove. The path wound through a wild flower meadow and then down through the thatched cottages, even through gardens on the way to the cove, a very idyllic place with pastel coloured cottages and lovely cottage gardens. A flight of steps brings you out opposite the harbour quay, with its brightly coloured fishing boats and buoys, nets, chains and winches used in the catching of lobsters and crabs. Cadgwith Cove Inn was a lovely thatched inn, with a lovely outside courtyard, where you could sit and eat in the sunshine; they also have a nice indoor restaurant. My husband and I had a nice table for two inside. The restaurant is oak beamed and has pictures of seafarers and boats and plaques about boats which have been lost to sea in the cove. We perused the small but interesting menu; it had lots of lovely fish dishes on it and we ordered our food. We both had starters; my husband had scallops and I had crab pate served with brown bread and butter. The starters were delicious and were just the perfect size to get the palate started. My husband for his main course had the prawn, hake and monkfish curry served with rice, which he said was delicious. I had lobster thermadore served with a nice crispy salad and buttered new potatoes. The lobster was to live for and I had lots of fun excavating the meat, so all that was left was a pile of sculpture like shells. The meal was delicious. We washed all this lovely food down with a nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay white wine. We both had a dessert; my husband and I both had the dark chocolate and almond torte, which was sex on a plate and seductively delicious but lovely and light and was perfect finish to our meal. We did not bother with any teas or coffees afterwards as we were both well fed and very content. After our meal we went outside to listen to the locals singing ‘Sea Shanties’, there were lots of people there and it was nice to be part of this wonderful celebration."

"During our recent visit to Newquay, Cornwall, we had the pleasure of dining at Rebellion Restaurant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for our family. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and polite staff, who made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was lively yet cosy, creating the perfect setting for a family meal. The decor had a modern edge, with just the right amount of charm to make it inviting without being overwhelming. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the space comfortable and appealing for all ages. As for the food, it was nothing short of excellent. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a classic burger and fries, succulent beef brisket, and deliciously tender pork belly. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with flavours that were rich and satisfying. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, paired with crispy fries that were impossible to resist. The beef brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a smoky flavour that highlighted the quality of the meat. The pork belly was equally impressive, with a perfect balance of crispy skin and tender, flavourful meat. The service was exemplary throughout our meal. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that we had everything we needed while allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. They were especially accommodating to our young family, making sure that everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, we left Rebellion Restaurant very satisfied and with full bellies. It's a place that not only delivers on great food but also excels in creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newquay, whether you're looking for a family-friendly spot or just a great meal in a fantastic setting. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Cornwall!"

"My girlfriend and I dined at this restaurant on a Monday evening, which is not typically a busy day. However, we arrived at 6:30pm and it was the last available table! The front of house manager greeted us warmly and handled a small issue with our reservation effortlessly. We were seated in a cozy area and offered drinks while our table was prepared. We quickly received glasses of Prosecco along with the menus, and they asked about any allergies—I mentioned my dairy intolerance which they noted. Soon after, we were led to our table with a beautiful view of the estuary, where our wine was waiting. A lovely amuse bouche and bread (with butter and oil for me) were served to start. My partner enjoyed a sweet potato foam, while I had a smoked salmon and caper dish (dairy-free). Both were delicious. Our smoked mackerel starters were equally delightful, one with a dairy foam and one without. Our main courses arrived in a timely manner and were both beautifully presented—roast cod for me and chicken breast for my partner. The dishes were all delicious. We finished our meal with an Irish coffee and a panna cotta, both of which were superb. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience with impeccable service. Many Michelin-starred restaurants could take notes from the Old Quay House. We can't wait to return.

"Bit disappointed. Even before we got in a sign said Be nice or leave I was a little taken back by this.... a good start. Seamed a little unorganised when waiting to be seated. Was shown seats in middle, wife asked to be seated at the window, waitress was reluctant but had to oblige as it was vacant. Young daughter didn 't want anything on menu so I asked older waitress if they could do her pancakes the responce was no! Thats the menu there 's ways of declining customers requests and being abrupt isn 't good for customer relations. We ordered, apparently the waffles came covered already with sugar (they should leave it for the customer to add plus the maple! Was too sweet for her. My full English was greasy, cheap sausages that were tasteless, thin slices of hogs, luke warm tomatoes. Location was nice and divining area. We ate, paid n left. The above areas need addressing to take the business forward, couple next to us weren 't over impressed with their breakfast. We had to ask for condiments and cutlery as well plus milk for my coffee. Outside there was an extensive list of rules to read on a board... felt like a prison canteen (not that I 've experienced prison dinning! This is feedback not to damage business. We felt that the clients they were aiming at weren 't family, bit frosty to my girls and kids menu wasn 't very varied. We probably won 't visit again which is a shame as location and facility is present."
