The 31 best cheap eats in Looe

Truly delicious offerings in a great location, you’ll need to book and we went for lunch at short notice and there was lots of availability. We opted for; Smoked Haddock scotch egg, fish and chips, sardines, octopus, scallop and greek salad. We’ve had these favourites many many times in many many places and from some of the best chefs going in Cornwall. It is not often we get new #1s from these choices…we now have 6 new #1s as they were that good. The wines were great too and the value was incredible…try the Lebanese wine and a dessert wine..you’ll love them both. Ohh n if you shelled peas with your Grandma and were allowed a few as a treat, that’s what the peas tasted like…memories that last forever. 😋😋😋

A fantastic find while visiting Looe. We booked a last min holiday to Looe, and while there we walked and searched for good food. This restaurant was outstanding. We loved every bite. The crispy squid was divine. The crab mac n cheese was the best mac we have ever tasted, and even after the selection of small plates and sides as a tapas style meal, we still had room left for dessert. Which didn’t disappoint. The lemon posset with meringue and raspberries was a creamy perfection. Thank you to Ben and all of the chefs for our gorgeous meal today. We really had a fantastic time, and our tummies are very happy

Booked a table for the wrong date turned up and they went all the way to accommodate us for the night I was supposed to book for. 2 adults and 2 children Food and service was fantastic couldn't fault it. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to anyone

Wonderful restaurant serving the best local seasonal seafood dishes (plus other options for anyone not a fan of seafood). The staff were friendly and attentive and the presentation of the food was amazing. Highly recommend if you are visiting Looe.

Our experience of having lunch at The Sardine Factory was lovely, right from the warm welcome of the staff to the absolutely delicious selection of seafood. Service was excellent, ambience was beautiful. Thank you for giving us such a good time

Ate here for lunch. Food we ordered was all very nice. Maybe wouldn't order the taco next time. Quite an expensive lunch but luckily we had a gift voucher. Would definitely come again.

Booked in for a late lunch during the Kernewfornia festival and very glad we did. Had the chowder, scotch eggs and tuna small plates and a rather delicious white Rioja, everything was beautiful and very tasty. Excellent service , staff very friendly and approachable and such lovely surroundings. Quality lunch, thank you very much!

We were staying at the Caravan site next door and decided to give this place a try and we had such a fantastic meal. That staff were friendly and helpful and they offered advice. The food itself was delicious with generous portions. The atmosphere was spot on with some music in the background but not too loud so you can still talk. We're so pleased we gave this a try. We're already planning to come back!

I have known about The Coddy Shack for many years and even longer, known the Bond brothers from their business in Polperro but never managed to visit during my trips from Canada. 🇨🇦 I was surprised how big the enterprise is and there is a venue at the back which if I recall is a steak and seafood restaurant that looks like it could also be an ideal wedding venue overlooking the valley. I enjoyed Haddock and Chips with Mushy Peas. The fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was light and crispy. Great to see a bar there, so I had a pint as well. The place was busy which is always an indication that it has a good local following. The table service was very good and the food came quickly. There is a separate takeaway area and that was busy as well. A great experience that I must do again on my next visit. Highly recommended.

We have stayed in caravan site next door and ended up eating takeway fish& chips in this place every single day. Fantastic. Well organized and friendly staff. Restaurant cozy with plenty of parking. Takeway or eating in. Just 1 minute by car from caravan park first left towards Looe. You must eat there. Wish i was living close by...

One of the best meals for dinner and return for breakfasts we’ve ever had in England! 5* breakfast, thick cut home made toast, egg perfect. Large breakfasts, delicious coffee. Paul the chef, incredible! Our server Rachel Was efficient and friendly. Dinner, we each had Chips (the best fish & chip shop quality), steak, veggie lasagne, veggie burger, large white cod. A++ Recommend!

Always good food and great service and a wonderful atmosphere inside. Recommend you book as the seating capacity is a lot less than what they use to have before the fire back in 2023. Still working on the decking to increase seating capacity at some point in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed an amazing takeaway meal from the Coddyshack this evening. Although there was a short wait, it meant the food was fresh to order. The food was incredible. We tried both the cod and the plaice and both were delicious. Even the bread and butter seemed artisan. The best chippy tea we have ever had. Highly recommend.

Nice friendly service, went early afternoon and didn't take long to get busy, the cod and chips tasted amazing, regular size was plenty enough. Has take away option or eat in the restaurant. Very clean, buzzing atmosphere definitely recommend 👌

We thoroughly enjoyed our meals at Smugglers Cott. I had the duck and my wife had the Hake. We had a full dinner and feel that they delivered outstanding value for money.

An absolutely lovely place to eat, steeped in history with a cute dining room. I'm here for seafood on vacation and seafood is what I had! It was surprisingly busy for a quiet Looe Tuesday evening, with a lovely atmosphere. Fantastic meals, among the best I've ever eaten, its really that good. All over the room i could see taste-smiles. Thoroughly recommend the Smuggler's Cott.

Best damn restaurant in the city. We have been here for 5 days, spent 3 dinners there to be able to enjoy the menu, the atmosphere and the wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. On top of this, this is the only place in the city that is serving dinner on a Monday at 8:30pm that is not Indian or Chinese. If we visit the city ever again, we definitely come again to enjoy everything.

Loved the atmosphere, never seen anything like it. Food was ok, a little pricey for what was a little bit of pub grub, however, that seems to be a theme in Looe. I would definitely go again as it was one of the best in Looe. I was really pleased they had gluten free options available.

This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant to celebrate my husbands up and coming 50th birthday whilst on holiday. The reason being for the Yardarm mixed grill. Not one piece of meat could be faulted with a selection of mixed vegetables, home cooked chips and boiled potatoes. The mushroom tagliatelle did not disappoint either and the strawberry pavlova was to die for. Again, we would definitely visit if we are ever in Looe again.

Absolutely lovely place and fantastic food and service, we went a couple of weeks ago (me and my partner) for our first date night in 5 years so I dressed up a bit got so many compliments from staff it was lovely. The food was amazing aswell. Will definitely be returning soon.

So enjoyed our dinner here. Stopped in on spare of moment dinner decision. Glad we did. The food taste and quality was superb. Can't beat fresh seafood but the dishes prepared...still talking about it days later. That's a good sign. Enjoyed the service also.

Me and my partner were on our last day of holiday and decided to treat ourselves to a meal out. I am so glad we did as we discovered this absolute gem of a place. The food and service was absolutely outstanding. The staff are a credit to the restaurant, they’re so attentive & helpful when it comes to ordering food & drinks that you may not be sure on. I cannot express how lovely the whole place is, don’t hesitate to visit. I will definitely return!

Lovely restaurant overlooking Looe quayside. Booking is prefferd, but staff are very welcoming and friendly and happy to fit you in at the last minute if there's a space. Food is beautifully presented and cooked to perfection with a varied menu specialising in locally caught fish and steak. The restaurant is upstairs in and old warehouse with a lovely feel to it. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is a must go to place for anyone who is in the area, if you don't visit anywhere else, you have to go to the old sail loft - at least once.

We visited The Old Sail Loft Restaurant during our weekend in Looe. It’s based in a very quaint old building, and had a lovely outside terrace area too. Unfortunately, it was raining during our visit so we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor area. We took advantage of their 2 course set menu which was very good value for £22 (at time of writing). The Duck Parfait was sublime and the Hake Kiev was also very tasty, albeit a little on the small side. Service was friendly too. If you’re looking for a delicious meal in a lovely surrounds, then The Old Sail Loft Restaurant will certainly tick all the boxes in Looe.

We had an incredible 3 course lunch here; the food was delightful. I had the set lunch menu and it was all delicious, the highlight was definitely the deep fried apple and rhubarb crumble for dessert. The staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Location was perfect too, we sat outside overlooking the harbour and it was just a fantastic first experience of Looe. We'll definitely return.

Absolutely delicious and the set menu is great value. Was surprised the moules came without their shells but this new take on the dish worked incredibly well. The trout starter very tasty and the hake kiev also a big hit. Would definitely come back next time in Looe.

Lovely dog friendly restaurant right on the edge of Looe harbour. The food is outstanding and the service is brilliantly friendly. The charcuterie platter starter is almost a meal in itself so make sure you go when you’re really hungry! Main courses were Sea Bass with Cornish crab and saffron new potatoes / Fish Du Jour which was Hake with parsley sauce, charred tender stem broccoli and potatoes Anna. Wish it wasn’t a 600 mile round trip to visit it. 😉👌🏻

Really delicious food! Beautiful building, only complaint Is that each course took a while to come out, we were there almost 2 hours and we waited almost 40 minutes for the dessert and half a hour each from the starter and then 30 mins for the main, again the service from the staff was brilliant and food was delicious and I'd 1000% return for the quality of the food

It was a rainy day but perfect for a spot of breakfast with friends. We chose this as it had great reviews. The staff were delightful and very friendly in this cosy little place. The food was really tasty and very good portions. I would definitely go again and take our dog as it’s also pup friendly!

My partner and I visited on Saturday - he highly recommends the bacon sandwich with stilton, and I had the best scone of my life! Sam and Geoff are genuinely lovely and I think this really creates a warm and chilled atmosphere. A lovely little cafe which truly stood out as one of the best cafe experiences I have ever had. Would 100% recommend :))))

Such a fantastic cafe, the warmness and friendliness of the owner was exceptional. 100% the best Cornish cream tea I've had, I can't recommend this place enough, just check the opening times as we almost missed out and arrived just before closing time.

The best local cafe with best satisfaction service by a very friendly lady. Hidden in a small street. Awesome service. Food so delicious and have real taste. Atmosphere is very calm with great vibes. All I really enjoy but Scones were top notch. Thanks for such nice hospitality

Not leaving reviews very often but the lady was exceptionally nice and we've really enjoyed english breakfast. Very good quality and value for money. Great cosy place.It's a shame I live far away as I would be visiting this place regularly.

Is a small cafe with 5 tables only. We were lucky to be number 3 to entry at 9am. Order bacon and egg sandwiches and sausage and egg sandwiches. Baby had child breakfast. Bread was thick slice, egg was runny spot on, sausage was locally sourced, chocolate milkshake was lovely. It was good overall. Please prepare cash as sometime the machine didn't work out. Sam was super friendly.

We ate at Daisy’s Cafe today and absolutely LOVED IT! The food was delicious -we had the vegetarian breakfast and a scone!! The atmosphere was impeccable and the staff had some of the friendliness and most accommodating hospitality we’ve come across in ages -we’d come back just to see and speak to the lovely lady who served us! :)) Would definitely recommend (we recommend the scones too) xx 🫶🏼☺️🤎

We visited while on our honeymoon, the seating was a bit tight where we were sat which made it a little uncomfortable. The food was delicious and the service was extremely good. Would return if ever back in Looe.

Outstanding in every department service, quality, portion size, flavour. The best restaurant in Looe. Book in advance. You will not be disappointed. Spicy Crab Bake starter is a must try

Waiter service very good just a shame our main meals were poor. Starter: mussles nice, garlic mushrooms looked like they were floating in gravy! Mains; carbanara, very bland with far too much cheese sauce. My partner had the special without the crab just prawns, again too much sauce & very bland. We didn't risk dessert. We let the waiter know our disappointment and paid in full for all dishes.

Transported to an Italian seaside village this little restaurant offers a wonderful range of authentic cuisine in decent portions to ensure you are satisfied Very attentive service and a cosy atmosphere Thoroughly recommend but please book You will not be disappointed x

The food here was absolutely amazing would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting looe in Cornwall the staff were great

Lovely little restaurant, friendly relaxed atmosphere. Could not fault the food, the squid and the lobster were amazing. Highly recommended! We will be returning.

Excellent service,amazing food,lovely cosy atmosphere,highly recommended,looking forward to another visit soon

We just stumbled here after there being no tables at JuJu's over the road, but so glad we did, as this place is amazing! Ths food was amazing, the service was amazing. We really liked it here and would defo go back. Small, family run and busy, but they still squeesed us in.

Fantastic authentic Thai food. The place has a lovely Thai feel to it, with the decoration and the staff in their colourful shirts too. The food is delicious, really tastes like the food I had in Thailand, clearly authentic and cooked by someone who knows Thai food very well. We had stir fry duck and beef, with chicken satay and spring rolls, completed with sticky mango rice. Thank you for giving us a taste of Thailand 🇹🇭

We got a great table on a busy Saturday night without booking. Customer service was very good, we had our damp coats hung up to dry for us by a nice man who then showed us to our table and went through the menu. The young lady working was also great and very helpful. The food was very good (their mild is probably a medium somewhere else and I probably stitched myself up 🥵🤣🤣). Overall an excellent experience and highly recommended 👌👌👌

We enjoyed a delicious meal here, a great way to end our weekend in Looe.

Tried to get a table on the off chance at 7pm to be greeted by a man who looked so inconvenienced i had walked in whilst he was on his phone? Told, "were booked" and then ignored. This place had been recommended to us and we really wanted to try it. After the rude welcome we will NOT be returning.

100% the best restaurant in Looe for freshly cooked, authentic food. Every dish I have had here is delicious. We live here and the Thai is always my recommendation, can’t beat it and the owners are lovely.

Lovely little family run place, service is slightly eccentric but efficient enough. The food is incredibly good. Well made and authentic. They do ask how hot you want it - and their hot is 🔥🔥🔥.

Delicious and Nutritious. The soul bowl is a must! The midwife told me to boost my iron levels this will do it! My favourite spot in looe great food, cakes, coffee and the team are just amazing. Thank you for another yummy dish.

What a gem of a cafe. Delightful courtyard with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. A tasty menu and all beautifully presented. Smiley and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Delicious cakes and Scones. Highly recommend.

What a cracking little place. They seem to be really eco conscious, which makes spending here easy. The low ceilings and neutral toned decor gives a sense of calm. Real plants and crafty design features is a feast for the green-fingered type. There is only one toilet which i could see and it was hard to work out if it was occupied or not. I would say the floor space would not work for those in wheelchairs or pushchairs. We did not eat there, however it looked all vegetarian or vegan 🤩🥳 The drinks we had were tasty and were served at our table with a smile. There are board games available to play at no cost.

Lovely hidden gem of a vegetarian cafe nestled between two. buildings, it quite hard to miss. Food is absolutely gorgeous, full of flavour and well presented. Even on a busy bank holiday, service was quick. The courtyard not only gives a cosy secluded atmosphere, on blazing hot summers day it can offer some relief to the heat, and since its dog friendly your k9 friend will enjoy the cool, quiet space. Somes seats do still get the sun if you prefer. There are also plenty of tables inside if the weather is not so summery.

After a week of pasties and fish and chips, we were happy to stumble on this place and have some fresh and amazing salads. The food was so good, I wish we had discovered it earlier. Beautiful cakes too and a nice friendly, earthy atmosphere. Recommend!

Wow what a find ! Tucked away off the busy street in a quiet, leafy courtyard. Food all looked delicious so it was hard to choose BUT I can confirm the Soul Bowl was outstanding. Such beautiful& delicate flavours, well balanced. And Cinnamon Crunch was perfect with a freshly brewed loose leaf tea. But I did have to share it !! Thoroughly recommend & v friendly staff are to be commended too. Thank you

For our first time here, we were surprised at finding it was a vegetarian based cafe. My wife and I came in with little expectations but left wanting more. Food was delicious and so were the drinks. Taste and nutritious. We again came back a few days later for a second meal just as they were stopping food. They accommodated us and we both had their soul bowls and again didn't disappoint. Would recommend everyone to try.

My favorite place, typical old fashioned cornish little pub. Absolutely stunning. Definitely has to visited just to see inside. Love all the old shark pictures on wall from back in the day, lots of amazing memories from childhood to now in my mid 50's

Lovely food. Good service and value for money. Fabulous prawn cocktail!

Stopped in for a quick drink as i finished my walk along the coastal path. Was greeted with a really friendly, warm welcome and was fortunate to find they could fit me in for a bite to eat. The food was delicious - i had the beer battered cod, jacket potato and peas, followed by a couple of drinks. What a gem of a place! Thank you all for you great service and food xx

We love spending an evening at this pub. Its so cosy and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and the food is great: last night we had fish and chips and a green Thai curry followed by sticky toffee pudding and apple pie. Thank you once again

We just popped in for a drink. The staff were unfriendly and not interested in us , I think because we were not eating. Many tables had signs asking that you might be asked to move if a larger group came into the pub to eat- fair enough. I sat at a large empty table in a cosy area with the sign asking if smaller groups would move if a larger group came in. My husband was told we couldn't sit there. We would have happily moved when a larger party came. It was not necessary to be pushy. Shame. Lovely quaint pub The food looked ok too.

I put my head round a lot of pub doors during my stay in Looe and this was the only one that tempted me to enter. It's a charming pub/restaurant with low oak beams and old pictures/photos on the white walls. Cosy and atmospheric and the prices are not excessive. I ate there three times; the food was lovely and the service friendly. The Doom Bar was very well kept. Yum. It's very popular and, although I had no problem getting a table during the week, I'm glad I had the foresight to book at lunchtime for the Friday night as I got one of the last two tables.

We visited this pub 3 times during our holiday. The first time we hadn't booked but they were able to find us a table. Booked for the last night due to it being a Saturday. Very friendly staff and a brilliant atmosphere. Bonus that dogs are welcome, even gave our dog a treat!

Great service with really friendly staff, we were really looking forward to eating here but if absolutely honest we were a little disappointed, two of us opted for dressed lobster and ended up feeling a little unwell, the lobster was precooked and vacuum packed (boil in the bag) and then warmed up but unfortunately it wasn’t ever so hot which is a cardinal sin so we left most of it. The potatoes were amazing and some of the dishes were fab but the wine was hugely overpriced and overall not what we expected.

i stumbled into this small restaurant, escaping the cold and wet, and was instantly enveloped by a warm welcome and cozy atmosphere. it's unpretentious dining, yet the food is truly outstanding and incredibly inspired. this is exactly the kind of place i love – where the chef interacts with you as you dine, and the dishes are simple but showcase the best of seasonal produce, fresh seafood, and incredible flavor. my god, the flavor! very underrated - come here for an unique gastronomic experience.

Wow just wow, I’ve never been a seafood fan, but I truly am now. John Dory in a curry butter so succulent, monk fish in buffalo sauce was intense and the langoustines were just amazing. Paired a lovely Sauvignon from France. Thank you for probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had!

We ordered multiple dishes off the menu and every item was 11/10. The atmosphere was good and thriving and the views are amazing. I have been coming to Looe annually for holidays for many years and this is hands down the best food I’ve ever had in Looe and possibly the best seafood I’ve had in my life. I also like the personal touch of the chef bringing your meal out to you.

Amazing hidden gem with fresh ingredients, excellent cooking, superb service, and not bad view. We make a special effort on our trips to North Cornwall to fit in time on South Coast in Looe to spend time here. Super fresh ingredients, cooked respectfully but with flair from Fred, great time having Allie looking after us. Lots of small plates to make you reimagine tapas, lovely wines including a good Cornish selection- yay to Trevibban Mill, Fred's spuds are not be missed alongside a changing selection of seasonal vegetables and salads, and the freshest seafood prepared with flair. Can't wait to be back.

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, I don’t usually write reviews but it was just that good. Menu is very heavy on fish (as stated in the name) but there are lots of delicious meat/veg options for someone who isn’t super keen on seafood, as my partner isn’t. We had the bread, prawns, burrata and peach salad, and the the ribeye with bordelaise, everything was incredible, the burrata salad isn’t one to miss and the steak was one of the best I’ve had. Expensive but for the quality of the food it is very fair. Lovely cosy atmosphere and open kitchen where you can see the chefs working, not one to miss if you love good food👌🏻

Booked for two here and had a lovely table by the window so that set a great backdrop for our evening meal. The restaurant is intimate so booking is highly recommended if you want to guarantee a table. Our prawn starter was exceptional, and our fish main meals were the same. The fish is as fresh as it could possibly be, and beautifully cooked and presented. Meals are cooked by the chef, who works within sight, so you can see both the hygiene and experience levels on display. Be adventurous and try something you'd not normally have and you'll not be disappointed. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Spotted this place yesterday and planned to come back today for a sunday roast, as this place has a dog friendly inside section for small dogs. Popped in today, unfortunately, a bit too late as they had run out of roasts. But not a problem, perfect sized and well priced children's menu. And Myself and the Wife were not disappointed with the crab cakes. They were amazing. Service was lovely, the staff and atmosphere were great.

The food is good, but in my opinion needs a little work, the liver and bacon and Caesar salad had no fault (see photos) but the BBQ chicken didn’t really have much BBQ about it. As for the seafood pasta a lovely well seasoned well balanced dish, but it could do with a larger selection of local seafood. The establishment seem very accommodating as while being there we saw people with prams being located to places with easy access that didn’t impact anyone.

We went for lunch and had two ciabattas one prawn and one steak. I have to say that the filling for the prawn was very poor, not many prawns and watery sauce. We have eaten here in the past and it has been good. Considering Looe is a fishing town it was very disappointing.

2 x fish and chips worst ever under cooked,cod was grey and jelly like not white and flaky. It was replaced but neither of us eat much because we had been put off, so took it home for the cats ,they refused it !! We also had a tuna ciabatta which was dry no butter and hardly any filling. Not recommended would never go again.

An absolute scam. From the outside it looks alright and that’s being kind. The ribs tasted of Old Granny’s toes. Don’t get me started on the chicken, dry I would have rather ate air it was the dry. The chips were cold and disgusting. The pulled pork was horrid tasted of bunonion. My mums pork tastes way better than that. Would suggest not going here. Normally I say a Cornish gem but this was a Cornish oh I couldn’t think do a good rhyme.

I cannot recommend the Golden Guinea enough! We stumbled upon this place about a year ago, and it just keeps getting better every time we go back. The food is absolutely fantastic—always something delicious on the menu. (Guinea burger is our go to) As for Sundays, it’s live band; and never disappoints, amazing and really adds to the vibe. The staff are truly epic! Mel is a legend and really knows how to run the place smoothly, making everyone feel welcome. And Charlotte, she is just brilliant—so friendly and inviting! Honestly, I can’t wait for my next visit. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great food and vibes, this is it! 🙏😘❤️ lots of love Laura & Jamie xx

What an incredible experience at The Golden Guinea! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a charming, character-filled setting that instantly made us feel relaxed and at home. The food was absolutely outstanding – full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was clearly made with care. The portion sizes were perfect, leaving us satisfied without being overwhelmed – just how it should be! The service was another highlight. The staff were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their warm hospitality created such a lovely atmosphere and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. With its unique setting, excellent food, and exceptional service, The Golden Guinea is a true gem. We’ll absolutely be back – highly recommended! 🍽️✨🍷

Although we didn't pre-book fortunately there was room for our group of 8. I had visited previously so happy for a return visit. My husband and I decided to share the Corfu and Gamberi pizzas along with a side of truffle fries. I was so hungry that I got struck straight into my meal without talking photos of the food. All plates were cleared and the Gamberi does have quite a chilli kick to it and I was glad to be washing my meal down with a glass of local cider.

It’s a must place visit if you’re a pizza lover ! I love how a restaurant like this is run by a team of hard working youngsters great ambassadors to our youth ! As a team they are giving the perfect service from the moment you walk through the door ! An amazing buzz and you feel the atmosphere ! We arrived at 5pm by 530pm it was full ! Wood fired pizzas are hard work as you only have one chance! As you can see by ours they nailed it ! If your on your travels book or get a takeaway! Well done guys ! See you next time !

Great all around dining experience. Amazing wood-fired pizza oven making for perfectly baked crust. Great service and nice upbeat background music.

Stunning pizza and calamari! Ordered as a takeaway! Highly recommend! Will be back once we’re down here again 😍😍😍 fast service too!

The food and service were excellent. We returned after many years for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The staff were really accommodating and arranged for us as a large group to be near each other. The starters were so good we filled up before our pizzas arrived! We arrived before it opened at 5pm so as to make sure we were seated. It quickly filled up though.

A lovely place for our family meal! We all enjoyed the food very much and the staff are lovely. La Bocca is in a fab spot and a great atmosphere too. The linguine arabiata was very tasty as was the bruschetta - thank you La Bocca for a fab meal! ❤️

This place is a great choice if you’re after an authentic pizza. I have to say though, the calamari starter we had beat our main hands down. It was super fresh and cooked to perfection. My partners coffee wasn’t had a calzone and I had a pasta dish which was quite spicy but delicious. Really buzzing atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend a visit.

A lovely little find along the Looe quay. I visited with family and it was a very pleasant experience - the lady serving us was so welcoming and friendly and deserves to be recognised for her kind manner. Appreciated the decor and the amusing quotes/signs dotted around.

This cafe is absolutely gorgeous! What a gem nestled next to the harbour! The bacon roll was a decent size and was very tasty , as was the cheese scone served with cheese and chutney. I had a cream tea with a fruit scone cream and jam and it was delicious!! The latte was good and they serve my favourite tea, Cornish!! Will definitely visit again 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came to the lookout for a traditional Cornish cream tea whilst on holiday. I ordered a cream tea with a pot of tea and my Husband asked if he could have Nutella instead of butter with a hot chocolate. The lady behind the counter said she had never been asked that before but was happy to accommodate my awkward husband. He said the hot chocolate was one of the best he had had. Thank you.

Best bartender ever. Amazing soup of the day (carrot and coriander), with great bread! Lovely jacket potatoes and the cream tea looked good too. Dog friendly with a free puppychino! Good prices and a wonderful lunch stop. Pros: everything Cons: nothing

Very disappointed, we attempted to visit twice but was closed on both occasions despite visiting during the advertised opening hours. On our third attempt it was open so went inside and stood at the counter only to be completely ignored by the two members of staff, after standing there for a few minutes we presumed it was table service so took a seat . Again we were just ignored so eventually got up and left. It’s a common courtesy to greet customers on arrival and advise if it’s table service etc. we stumbled on another cafe down the road where we were greeted on arrival with a friendly hello and told to take a seat and we’d be served as soon as possible. Much nicer experience!

While on holiday we visited The Lookout three times (couldn’t stay away)! We had tasty breakfasts, coffees and cakes, and in such a lovely, laidback setting. Had a nice long chat with the owner and all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and clearly make themselves a part of the local community! We have three dogs and we were welcome to sit inside or outside :) what a jolly welcome, we’ll be back next year!! Thanks so much

Lovely café with an amazing view of the area… the kid serving us was extremely polite; I think it is a family run café…. Lovely service, happy people, nice vibe, lovely views and the scone was delicious! Freshly baked…. We heartedly recommend and we will be back for more! ;-)

We were very fortunate to stay at the Jolly Sailor last month when other arrangements fell through. Zoë was absolutely amazing; so very helpful, and a lovely person overall. The room was comfortable and quiet ... we honestly had one of our best night's sleep of our entire holiday. Garry and all of the others were fabulous too, and the breakfast was delicious as well. We highly recommend.

Had the best Sunday lunch for the family. They accommodated our picky eating children so well & we all enjoyed every minute. Excellent pub, excellent food, excellent drinks & exceptional service. Can’t wait to go back.

A truly great community pub with two owners that care about their clientele. The food is great, the people are friendly, and the pints are crisp. What more could you ask for. Very dog friendly, this place deserves your money

Stopped here for a lunchtime pint. Fantastic pub, very atmospheric with period features such as low wooden beams. Beer was well kept, and the bar staff were welcoming and friendly. Toilets were super clean. Very worth a visit.

Great pub. Called in on spec for food. The bar staff were great in finding us a table. Called in a few times during our stay and always very welcoming. Great shanty night also. Good selection of beers.

The best pub for a cheeky beer or ten in Looe by far!!! Food is fantastic served by cheerful friendly staff and the bouncy landlord & his wife, also the dogs enjoyed a bag of pork scratching too!! Do the Smugglers tour of Looe & Mark will show were to find the Jolly Sailor! Wish our farmers local was like this!!! 👍👍🍻🍻👍👍

Went in for tea in the week and the food was great as were the staff. We then return for Sunday lunch which was also great. The reason they dont get 5 stars is simply because they charge £1.95 for extra gravy, per 1 and I dont this is viable when you also purchase extras. Other than that would strongly recommend.

Came here 2 days in a row on our holiday because the food was that good! The staff were lovely, food top notch and overall a pleasant place to eat!

We tried this curry house out after seeing it had won an award and it not being too far a drive from St Germans where we live. We were not disappointed. Some of the best Indian starters we have ever had. The mains had a lot to live up to. An again they were extremely tasty. Staff very attentive. We will be back again. We booked 6pm which was perfect. It was not so busy. By the time we left it was packed.

We have just tried our first take away from here, and it was absolutely delicious. The online ordering process was straight forward, the food was ready on time and the staff were lovely. The restuarant looked nice. We had 2 different curries we had never tried before and both were amazing. Not too spicy but ruddy tasty and full of flavour. Would highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip!

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Food is always of top quality and cooked beautifully. Nothing is too much trouble. Taking your own alcohol is a bonus as it keeps the cost down. Soft drinks are available.

Followed our noses and found this gem. It’s an unlicensed bar which was probably a blessing after a heavy weekend. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating, popadoms were light, crispy and non greasy. The Prawn Curry and Lamb Jalfrezi were incredible and the best coconut rice we’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

Staff here are very friendly. Had a warm welcome when we went in to collect our food. Food was lovely and hot and incredibly tasty. The spice levels were spot on. Will definitely visit again

We were here nearby on holiday for a week and looked at the reviews and thought we would try the Chennai Indian for a takeaway. We would recommend for anyone looking for great food to give it a try. We went twice because it was that good and the staff were also very friendly.

We stopped here for dinner yesterday and were not disappointed. The fish was probably the best battered fish i have ever had! The location and view is good, if you get a window seat. The staff were all really lovely, especially our server (i believe her name was either Sunny or Sammy) who was very attentive. I will definitely be coming back on my next visit to Looe!

We stopped in for a drink after a long walk. Staff were friendly and recommended some local options for us. Both the cider and beer recommended were cold and tasty. We enjoyed the view over the inlet and the clean tables and chairs outside.

Been to Looe many times and have always walked past. We've got kids and it seemed to be more of an adult pub. (Zero issues with this). Plus the outside didn't have "kerb appeal" Kids are now a bit older so walking past we decided to go in for a drink. Very friendly, quirky interior, you can see the river, great place for a drink. Returned later in the week to try the food. It was actually really good, sensibly priced and the server was fantastic. Next time we are here, we will go again.

We went in for some late lunch, was served by sammy and she was fantastic. Really friendly and went out of her way to make sure we were all happy! Food was really nice and the portions were massive! Thank you! :)

The place was clean and welcoming, and the bar staff and waitress were very polite and friendly. We ordered 3 fish and chips, 2 pints of Coke, a non-alcoholic Thatchers, and a blackcurrant Thatchers, total came to £69. Food arrived in about 15 minutes, which was great, but unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the fish and chips. The fish was quite oily, the batter seemed overcooked, and the chips were also on the overdone side. Perhaps our expectations were a bit high, especially as it’s a lovely fishing village and we've had some excellent fish and chips recently in Whitby. That said, the customer service was brilliant, and we really appreciated the dog-friendly atmosphere, big plus! Based on the overall experience (especially the service), we’re giving it 3 stars. Without that, the food alone would have been closer to a 2. DJ Reviews

Didn’t stay at the hotel but did use the restaurant one night. Wasn’t very busy at all as we were the only ones sat in the dining area, so I can’t comment on atmosphere. The menu was slightly small, compared to their old previous menu I had seen online. 3 of us ordered the 10oz sirloin steak dish which was really good, very tender and good quality for quite a good price but one of us ordered the chicken burger which did look slightly pink unfortunately. Might have just been the lighting as it did take a while to come, probably around 35 minutes (I assume not because of the steaks) but it still put them off once noticed. Can’t fault the restaurant however as we didn’t make anyone aware of this issue and we chose to leave it, so also can’t comment on how that would have been handled. I would recommend the steak dish.

A lovely break at this absolutely perfect hotel, the view overlooking the harbour is amazing, we had room 5, the staff are so helpful and efficient and made our stay perfect… the bar is very well stocked, great selection of wines, beers, spirits and cocktails, and the bar and restaurant serve truly excellent food, we absolutely loved the place. 👍❤️

Lovely fish and chip shop. Food service was a little slow. But when arrived it was pipping hot. Fish was lovely and flakey but a little greasy. Chips were delicious. Restaurant was a little grubby but we did come at 16.00

Appalling quality of food, mine and my son’s food was not cooked properly. Staff were rude. Will not return. Recommend Cody shack, better quality, actually cook their chips and much friendlier 👍

Huge disappointment. Go somewhere else, everyone! 1. They didn’t even give me a knife at a fish and chips place – seriously? 2. The floor was so slippery, it felt unsafe. Be careful not to fall. 3. The burger came with no sauce, no veggies – just plain meat and bun. Totally bland. Never going back. Waste of money and time.

We sat downstairs at the fish shop and didn't realise that meant we would be served our food in takeaway containers and that we wouldn't be given cultural. It just works have been nice to have that explained before we were disappointed. The food was ok though. Fresh fish, very nice chips, a great curry sauce. Didn't like the brioche type rolls much but that's personal preference. I'd visit again though.

On holiday, wanted to try some of the fish and chips down here. Food was amazing but cant say the same about the service. Rude and didnt want to even say hello!

Unfortunately we went on a bank holiday Monday so the place had probably been rammed all day. They were cues outside the door so it was very busy. The restaurant upstairs was closed probably due to the amount of people wanting to use it. It was easier to close it than try and offer a poor service. The food was quite nice. Our chips were definitely hot. Lots of salt and vinegar and my wife enjoyed her cod pieces

I've got to hand it to them, Kelly's is a really great fish and chips shop and always provides lovely fish and chips. My sister particularly likes the pea fritters which virtually nowhere else in the country seems to do. I'm afraid the service often leaves a lot to be desired though.

One of the most tasty mussels I’ve ever tried in such a scenic view on the sea and the atmosphere making it all! Grandiose 10/10. Nonetheless I would see a more attractive terrasse like the interior that is fabulous ! Waitresses (boss) and chef are really smiley and hard workers making it very trustworthy that the food will be fabulous. Highly recommended !

The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. We also ordered cheesec cake and tiramisu and both were amazing. Staff was very friendly, overall great experience.

Booked our seat online which was easy. Service was with a smile. Very welcoming and friendly. The Maitre de was very knowledgeable about the menu and described in detail the food on offer. The menu changes depending on the catch of that day. So it is a bit of a gamble. Having said that. You are guaranteed the freshest fish... My wife had monkfish kebabs as her starter which she said was amazing, the riata was the freshest tasting beautiful side dish and I had mackerel pate, which I loved. For mains we both took the vegetarian option due to the limited fish options. That is not a complaint. The hummus was beautiful, served with homemade tortilla chips. With a side of parmesan fries and olives. Again, beautiful. For desert I had the cheesecake. To be honest, it was too small for my liking and as it was an unbaked cheesecake, the cheese side was more of a mousse, which was slightly disappointing. We chose a bottle of Mucadet to compliment the food. That was a great choice. All in all, I am no expert but would give the restaurant 8.5...it would have been 9 but for a couple of snobbish grumbles. The hannafore hotel is having some building works done and we were sat with our backs against a building site. Also there was a wedding taking place which made the upstair balcony above us quite busy. One thoughtless person threw a cigarette butt off which luckily landed to the side of our table. Upwind...I had to get up and stamp it out. Unfortunately for the restaurant, they have no control over that... Would I recommend eating here? Absolutely! Service of quality fresh food in a beautiful place, all with a smile! Why wouldn't I?

I loved the experience, service, and atmosphere. It was lovely! However, I ordered food with dietary restrictions. The lady was very polite, and she took note of everything confirming that my food won't contain that. Unfortunately, food came with all the ingredients containing those that I couldn't eat. I haven't noticed it in my starters, only noticed this in dinner and felt really poorly after. In the end, she came back, and we let her know about it. She let us know that she will talk to the kitchen. Unfortunately, due to this, we won't be coming back and do not recommend it to anyone with dietary restrictions: intolerances or allergies.

I think it is dangerous. Parasites in fish, it seems that it is opisthorchiasis. I changed my review after the second visit to this restaurant. On my first visit, I really enjoyed the food, I love fish and seafood. In my second visit I I saw fish parasite in my food. The waiter told me that it was not dangerous and suggested replacing my dish with something else. What do you think is dangerous? And is the pleasure of this food worth the risk that is possible for your health? Why do such situations arise? From lack of cleanliness and attention to cooking? From a poor quality fish supplier? Well, if you are still interested in the premises of this restaurant, then this is a fish restaurant with 9 tables inside and 7 tables outside, on the seashore. The entire front of the restaurant overlooks the sea, as well as the trash can in the parking lot in front of the restaurant. The interior is simple. Cleanliness is not at the highest level, the windows are not washed, the summer terrace is not neat and tidy, the furniture is dirty, there are a lot of gulls ... Opening hours from Wednesday to Saturday, a bar from 5 pm, a kitchen from 6 pm until what time this restaurant is open only to God and Chef. On Saturday, the table is better to book. All of the above is just my subjective opinion. Я думаю что это опастно. Паразиты в рыбе, кажется что это описторхоз. Я изменила мой отзыв после второго посещения этотого ресторана. В первое мое посещение мне очень понравилась еда, я люблю рыбу и морепродукты. В свое второе посещение я увидела в своей еде рыбного паразита. Официант сказал мне что это не опастно и предложил заменить мое блюдо на другое. А как Вы думаете, это опастно? И стоит ли удовольствие от этой еды того риска который возможен для Вашего здоровья? Почему возникают такие ситуации? От недостатка чистоты и внимательности к приготовлению еды? От некачественного поставщика рыбы? Ну если Вас все еще интересует помещение этотого ресторана, то это рыбный ресторан на 9 столов внутри и 7 столов на улице, на берегу моря. Вся передняя часть ресторана с видом на море, а так же на мусорный бак на парковке перед рестораном. Интерьер простой. Чистота не на высшем уровне, окна не вымыты, летняя площадка не ухоженна, мебель грязная, много чаек ... Время работы со среды по субботу, бар с 5 часов вечера, кухня с 6 часов вечера до какого времени работает этот ресторан известно только Богу и Шефу. В субботу стол лучше забронировать. Все вышеизложенное являеться только моим субъективным мнением.

A very pleasant welcome. Excellent food. Fantastic views.

Excellent meals here fresh local seafood superb service and a fantastic ocean view

Walked from a near by caravan site with partner for a beer. Staff and punters friendly, wine and beer good and well priced. Would return

A bit weird and rough and ready. The photos on Google made it look much more appealing than in person. Very weird vibe inside, very dark and looking a little on the run down side. Cool solo guitarist and singer playing which was nice. Benches out front could do with a little pressure wash and re staining to make it look more inviting to visit and sit down at. As a locals pub this is probably great for them and the community. But for people who would be reading this. I probably wouldn't say it's the best place in the surrounding areas. A short trip down to looe opens up a wonder of pubs available at the same beer prices

Its an actual public house pub, run by ace people, ace locals and with delicious pub grub.

Great service, lovely food, good atmosphere. Dog friendly

This place is deceptive. It may look a little tired but it is clean, great service and everyone is friendly. I haven't marked the food as I didn't eat there. I'd go back. It was nice.

If you don't mind basic, it's a good pub. We all had a good meal, especially the home made chips. Menu is limited but all 7 of us managed to eat. Couldn't fault the hospitality, all very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

We were staying at looe bay holiday park and came across this place whilst looking for a local shop. We booked for a table of 8 as it was my partners birthday, not knowing what to expect as couldn't see a menu or anything online, we arrived and was seated at our reserved table, we asked to move a bit further away from the table next to us as the pub wasnt too busy so we could be more distant (COVID) and the gentleman was more than happy to help and move us. The menu wasnt huge, no steaks or anything, but we all managed to find something we liked. Kids meals weren't on the menu but when i ordered he said we can do kids size which was perfect. Food was really nice, and the drinks were cheap too so its a definite win win! If your not expecting A 5* michelin star restaurant you wil not be disappointed. Would definetly go back.

Lovely pub food amazingly tasty. Best burger I’ve tasted in along time, veggies curry very flavoursome. Enjoyed it that much we went back a couple of days later and had fish and chips. Batter cooked to perfection fish white and tasty. Staff friendly. Toilets clean

Popped in for dinner on the last night of our holiday, it was the perfect way to finish our trip. To begin with we were the only customers in there, more people arrived as we were eating. A good range of food on the menu, we each went for a portion of loaded fries, they were delicious. Good portion size. The music is right up our street too, luckily for the staff we didn’t start singing!!!!! (British indie/rock) When we are next in Looe we will definitely be popping back in.

We came to The Black Swan a fortnight ago. Having struggled to find somewhere to eat that fitted our tastes/needs, we stumbled across The Black Swan almost ready to give up and go home hungry. This place was just what we were looking for. The incredibly kind lady behind the bar allowed us to place our food order, even though we had just missed the cut off for ordering food at 8:30pm. We ordered two versions of their loaded fries (highly recommend the homemade pulled pork which was incredible!) and a selection of other small bits although the larger main meals that other tables ordered looked very tasty and generously portioned. Great atmosphere, excellent music and kind, attentive staff. We were not rushed out of the place despite being the last customers there by some margin. We will return and enjoy another game of Dobble here in future for sure. Thanks to everyone at The Black Swan for saving our family day trip to Looe and filling hungry little tummies!

Came here a couple of years back and it was a great little find the food was amazing. Came here today and it was still fantastic and even better was how quiet it was despite being a bank holiday lunch time. Great selection of spirits and then I witnessed a member of staff get down to the same level as a couple of little kids and she was really sweet with them I don't know if she knew them but it was nice to see staff interacting with all the customers. We will definitely be coming back when we come to Looe next.

First time in the Black Swan. We had fish and chips, beautifully cooked, especially the chips! The service was quick and the feel of the place was friendly with good music too! Would recommend it for excellent pub food.

Came in for drinks whilst meeting family. We were in a signal black spot, but the barmaid kindly shared her personal hotspot WiFi and saved the day for us. Above and beyond compared to the service in some places. Place was.perfectly.clean and the cask beers were in excellent condition

My wife and I ate here one rainy afternoon in August. Despite it being busy we had swift service and great food too. Our meals were nicly presented, tasty and very hot. The prices are typical for the area (See photos) and represent fair value for the portions. We found the decor plesant and seating comfortable. One last thing dogs are also welcome here.

Fantastic little restaurant an absolute gem in the heart of Looe well worth the walk back up Barbican Hill after! It was so good we ate here twice during our week’s stay in wonderful Looe, the food is delicious, generous sized portions (we only had a main each both meals), reasonably priced considering the cost at other local establishments, so tasty and the owner is such a lovely friendly lady, great service from both young ladies too :) Tip: book in advance as it’s usually busy

Had a fabulous evening in this lovely friendly restaurant in Looe. The food was great and good value for money but what made the evening, was the two fabulous female staff members who made us smile and laugh whilst there and they made my husband and I, and our dog Wilson feel like VIPs. I know our waitress was Lucy but unfortunately I didn't take the other ladies name who came out front from the kitchen to chat to guests. Well done on the best customer service we received anywhere all holiday in Looe 😁

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Pepe's last night. Firstly, we appreciated being fit in when we turned up without a booking. Secondly, I particularly appreciated that they were happy to adjust my enchiladas to make them fully vegan. Although they were prepared differently to what I expected or have experienced before, they were still delicious, as were my husband's fajitas. The service was excellent and the place has a casual, comfortable vibe. 👌

We arrived as a party of 7 and had the most wonderful experience. The owner was extremely polite and friendly, even going as far as to decorate our table and leave a birthday card for one of our party! And our young son was delighted to be given a game to play while he waited. The food was delicious but it was the service that made our night!

This is an amazing little restaurant. The food is fabulous and the staff are out of this world. They are so friendly, really eager to help and please. Don’t pass this place by, you will have a great meal, great service and some very nice drinks.

Great place to eat. The staff are so friendly. Food was delicious. Gluten free options available and they took care in how it was made. Its such a refreshing change when it comes to ordering gluten free food and not having to worry about cross contamination. Reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again.

This place is absolutely amazing!! I 1000% recommend this place if you are in Looe!! The food is just gorgeous and really good portion sizes! For starters we ordered the mozzarella sticks, spicy crab cakes, chilli beef nachos and the normal nachos then for our mains we ordered 2 surf and turfs, baby back ribs and the chicken fajitas and everything was delicious! We visited for my birthday and we wanted to go somewhere new and I can say we are going back again!! This is our new favourite restaurant by far. The staff made my birthday one of the best I’ve had and we’re all so lovely every single person in the restaurant had an amazing time. Thankyou so much to all the staff who work there you have made my 22nd birthday one of the best and I can’t wait to eat here again😁😁

Really lovely curries. Delicious flavours and very generous portions. We opted for delivery ( hence no atmosphere score) it was prompt - early in fact- and everything was piping hot. If we lived locally we would be regulars here. Highly recommend 👌

Awful. Ordered delivery and food arrived stone cold - not even slightly warm, as though it had just come out of the fridge. Phoned to inform them straight away and they simply said they’ll try better next time. No offer of compensation or replacement food. £25 wasted. Will never use again.

So far I've had three takeaway - a different curry with rice - meals from the Viceroy in Looe and they've all been delicious. I would recommend the Viceroy to anyone who likes indian food. I like it so much I'm living off curry from the Viceroy all week while I'm in the area. It's great food!

Wasnt sure about this place after reading some reviews but so glad I tried it!!! On holiday down here and other than the Indian I have back home it has to be the best I’ve had. Got it delivered to the campsite im on for only £3 , the young delivery guy was friendly. Arrived within an hour on a Saturday night and was lovely and hot, average prices for an Indian , and I’d definitely recommend the place

Had a takeaway whilst on holiday in the area. Cannot fault the curry, mixed tandoori starter, 3 meat samosa were tasty and crispy. Would definitely recommend.

Wanted an Indian takeaway and reading reviews and rating of 4 unsure about this place . But I definitely give them a 5 Very tasty , hot and the takeaway was delivered straight to our door on the holiday park we were staying on. Excellent service . Thankyou

Stopping on holiday and we (group of 6) fancied an Indian. Very nice food all around. Hot, fresh and very tasty. Recommend.

Ambiance and staff was lovely. Food selection was inspiring. The full English was sub-par, not living up to it's description.

We popped in to this cute little cafe for coffee and breakfast. Our eggs were perfectly poached and the coffee was served hot. The cafe is dog friendly and a water bowl was provided. The service was friendly and the cafe had a nice atmosphere. The cafe doesn’t have toilets so we had to use public toilets across the road. It also would have been nice if we could have had a wholemeal option for the toast.

Lovely little cafe, we called in for breakfast several times during our 2 week stay near by. Food is well prepared and tasty. Price at £ 10.95 for a full English is much cheaper than elsewhere in town so with 2 of everything is really good value for money. Well worth a visit .

Great for breakfast, we love this cafe. Great staff, excellent service. Only problem is the parking, which they have no control over.

This cafe is a gem at the end of the road. It’s near the car park and the bus stop and has some seating across the street. The staff are very kind and accommodating. The coffee was absolutely delicious and if there is anyone (or the owners please!) who knows what coffee they use, then please let me know!! The food was really good and really pleased we went!

We were visiting Looe Town yesterday feeling hungry. Not knowing the place very well we saw another cafe opposite the car park and had a cooked breakfast there. We walked around town afterwards and found TASTY CORNER. I can't believe the difference of the atmosphere, prices of foods, excellent views, cleanliness, the warmth of their place and the friendly staff compared to the other cafe we had breakfast previously. We enjoyed our freshly cooked scones and are very happy we found Tasty Corner, we will be going back there again for a tasty full English breakfast.

We rocked up this morning. There was 14 of us and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We sat outside, perfect view and perfect breakfasts. Good job 👏 👍

Went for a meal on Monday afternoon, wife, Father and myself. Ordered 2 battered cod and dressed crab and salad. Meal did not take long and all enjoyed our food. Only problem was parking, there was parking available in the street but only 1 hr stay no return for 4 hrs and parking area which is there was full.

Lovely pub! So clean and well presented, supe friendly staff, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely food and a good beer selection.

Very tasty food, nicely served and good portions. It was also quiet and friendly on a Monday evening.

Went here 8th October tea time and got a table for 8 Adults. Service was excellent. Chap that served us was very helpful, cheerful, chatty and nothing was too much bother. Food was exceptional. Great value for money. Wish we lived nearer to come here more often.

We read about this restaurant/pub in an email from our holiday cottage company. We really enjoyed our meal, such big portions and not served in silly little bowls on plates. The food was freshly made and delicious. The staff member that served us was polite and friendly. Very happy we went.

Fantastic pub and the food was excellent. We have popped in twice in two days and took family for them to try it also. Would highly recommend to anyone to go along and try. The staff are so friendly and helpful and always serve with a smile. Will be back. Thanks

Food was nice, its as you would expect buying pub grub, the chips are lovely! Atmosphere was nice, especially once some music came on. We were sad to hear the live music was cancelled last minute, but of course these things happen. The reason I'm giving 3 stars: I was disappointed to find that my meal wasn't exactly what they had stated on the menu. Sadly the part that was missing was the bit I bought the meal for. I wasnt told said particular item wasnt available, they replaced it with something else and hoped I wouldn't notice. If I was informed the item was missing upon placing my order I would have ordered something else instead. Food service was very slow.

What a great pub this is, we went on a Saturday night, they had live music a couple of lads called blackbird done all the covers you know, even the landlady done a number at the end. Bar staff were excellent, we were made to feel very welcome, the atmosphere was amazing. Thanks everyone at the fisherman's for a great evening 🥃🍻🍺🎶🎤🎸

What a fantastic time we had here. We did the quiz it was great fun , super hilarious the landlady was very welcoming and the life and soul , the following evening we went back on the sat and there was a singer , everyone was joining in he was great getting everyone in such great spirits,again another brilliant fun evening

Where do I start. From walking into this pub I was made to feel welcome. It was a Sunday and there was luve entertainment. Top class. Returned to this pub on many occasions and the atmosphere was first class. The landlady Trina is awesome & generates enthusiam which is contagious. Great drinks at great prices.

Everything you want from a local pub home from home. The staff, the locals and the Landlady all a very friendly and a great craic. If you’re a pub person this one’s for you 10/10. Thank you for the hospitality. PS we didn’t eat there hence no review

Had a beer before going out for dinner. Quiet but good atmosphere in the front bar. Friendly landlord in classic traditional Looe pub with good ale options.

All you need a nice drink with great atmosphere when you feel tired. So do I. Had good time here. Chilled beer, good & quick service.

Great old woody pub. Like stepping back in time. Excellent pint of Tribute. Friendly barman. Sun trap upstairs. Plays some great blues and rock music. This is the type of pub you want to visit in Cornwall.

Fantastic takeaway with small seating areas indoors & outdoors, all cooked fresh to order, THE best fish & chips I can’t remember enjoying some as much as this ever, so tasty and the batter was really crisp covering white fluffy haddock and gorgeous chunky chips (tip: share a large portion), we ate inside and staff were so lovely & friendly, decent sized portions reasonably priced for the quality & quantity, a shared side order of mushy peas is a must as well as homemade tartare sauce which was just yum! You can buy soft drinks or bottles of local beer & cider too the perfect accompaniment :)

Down in Looe on holiday, and we ordered had haddock, cod, chips and their home made tartar sauce. The service was friendly and wonderful and everything was cooked fresh. We can honestly say that the food was exemplary and the best fish and chips we had all had for a very long time. We would very much recommend Ben's plaice to anyone wanting amazing service and food

Visited today with my family and we were very impressed with quality of fish and chips best so far big portions and delicious fish.

All my work colleagues told me this is the best fish n chips.... They were right. The fish was beautifully cooked and real potato chips were also fried to perfection... Not at all greasy, nicely packaged for transportation home. Excellent choice on the menu *subject to availability... But one would expect that. Reasonably priced too.

We had the most amazing fish and chips at Bens Plaice. We wanted to try it out on holiday as we had heard many good things. It definitely didn’t disappoint! The best fish and chips we’ve had. Also the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Long walk up a very steep hill but well worth it. All agreed it was the best fish and chips we have had, highly recommend this place. Well cooked fresh and clean food. Delicious!

I've been waiting to visit Ben's Plaice since they opened! Heard great reviews, and seen gorgeous photos on Facebook. Tonight, we visited and thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Super friendly and helpful staff, and freshly cooked food. The selection of food available on the specials board is impressive, as I've never seen so much choice in a chippy before. Keep up the great work, and we look forward to trying out other dishes next time we pop in!

Unpretentious but probably the best value/quality food and drinks to be had in Looe (in my humble opinion!). A triple decker crab sandwich packed with white and brown crab meat, locally caught and hand picked, for £5.80!!!!!! Served on a paper plate with optional salad this is unbelievable value, and only yards from the fish quay. Find yourself somewhere to sit and relax with a sandwich, coffee and my book "Professor Harry Parker and the Tunnels of Argonaut Bay" by Steve Pick available on Amazon kindle.

I ate the crab bap and the bread was very soft and fresh, they were generous with the crab meat, with a little lettuce and sauce, this was a tasty lunch.

This place is not temporarily closed as Google is saying! I had a crab sandwich there on Friday 11 July and it was stuffed with crab absolutely delicious and served by great people!

We’ve been coming here on our annual holiday for years. It is such good value for money and the food is lovely for such a small kiosk. The gentleman who owns it is so lovely :) I really recommend the prawn French stick

Oh my god this is the best place to get a crab sandwich or roll!!!! Came here last year and it was fantastic the sandwich was packed with crab meat , so as I was down on holiday this year I had to come back and I wasnt disappointed I had a crab roll and again was full of crab, yes people might think a bit expensive at £12.50 but it’s definitely with every penny!! The service has always been spot on too with friendly chatty staff. What more can you ask for???

Staff are absolutely lovely! Sandwiches are so good we came back for seconds! The crab roll is incredible, they don't skimp on the filling and it tastes amazing!

Not worth the money we had a microwaved cheese burger??? No onion options????We had a crab sandwich made with cheap co-op bread??? Also they put a very cheap margarine spread on the bread????? Normally served a nice lemon mayo we also had a prawn 🦐 sandwich with a Marie Rose sauce and a cheap margarine spread?????I’ve never seen spread n mayo together. They should be served on a freshly baked crusty bread at this price I would not recommend this eatery over priced over rated by people with no TAste 👅 BUDS

Fantastic little pub on a Friday night with great live music , bustling fun crowd

Small local pub which is clean and tidy. The beer was good, but it was a little uncomfortable and not really able to social distance. Most of Looe is unable to social distance anyway, so not the fault of the pub. Friendly bar staff.

Very welcoming and friendly staff who are more than happy to have a conversation and deliver great service.

Loved this place. Amazing atmosphere. The band - Three Minute Warning was absolutely brilliant - Throughly enjoyed! Super night out!

Been coming to Looe for years and not once have we been in this pub, however we're glad we did this year! Very nice pub, with friendly staff and great atmosphere. There was music on at the time, and plenty of people we there enjoying the tunes which lead to a very positive and friendly atmosphere. The drink selection I found was very good, and the seating area inside, despite being smaller than some places, was good. Also Dog-friendly which is a big win in my eyes. Will be coming back for sure 🍻

My go to pub while in Looe. One of the better ones in a town with several but mostly 'meh'. Love the music nights, quality and nice service on every EVERY visit and was here quite a bit. Just wish more actual Cornwall beers beyond dull Sharps

Bustling Cornish pub with a good atmosphere and friendly staff

I’ll start by saying it’s a nice pub, but in my opinion the food lets it down. It be great if you were just going for a drink, the pub being dressed in lots of nautical chandlery. But I wouldn’t eat the food again, being dry and tasteless, making me feel like it is all probably frozen. The sandwiches are average at best, and the salads could have a bit more effort behind them, and I know a lot of people will complain about me saying that, but I was a chef in a pub earlier in my career and I know it’s not hard.

Regrettably we entered this pup for food as it mentioned children’s play area and they served jacket potato which is what we fancied. Pub was pretty empty. Menu was limited and was up there in price when your advertising burgers at £15+ we expected some food made with effort to warrant the prices. The children’s play area was a used colouring book in the corner so we decided to make entertainment ourselves for the kids… 45 minutes after ordering we’re wondering what’s going on so I asked at the bar was told we’re next 5 minutes and it was or least one meal arrived. 10 minutes later we received the rest. 2 minutes after that I took mine back to the bar as it was disgusting. A hard potato very bland chilly. The kids persisted with rock hard chips that had no internals just a shell of hardness with nothing inside, I enjoy a triple cooked chip done right this was not that. Staff came over and asked if I wanted another meal but I said you have already wasted one hour of my time I’m not prepared to wait again and give you another hour of my time. I didn’t ask for a refund and none was offered. My partner couldn’t stomach hers either and returned it and asked for a refund which she got. The kids were upset at an over cooked burger he said thinner than McDonald’s but like a air hockey puck. For us it was the wasted time on a nice day we wanted to be back in the sun as the pubs quite dark inside so we upped and left having spent 1.2 hours and left hungry. I spent about £45, £17 was refunded and we had to go find food elsewhere. I don’t write reviews in anger and wait till enough time has passed, I try to offer advice which in this case I would honestly say give up on the food it really was terrible and your charging rates that other places charge but they put in the effort therefore deserve to charge that. One hour for any meal in an empty pub is difficult to defend.

The fish and chips was only so-so. Good to sit at the corner window table and watch the parade pass by.

My go to pub when I visit Looe as its a proper English traditional pub and not a pub thats been turned into a restaurant Good atmosphere with friendly staff. Not had any food here so can't comment.

Yeah proper pub nice staff good proper job IPA on nice disco what more you want proper old fashioned boozer come and have a couple and give them the business

Located in the High Street area of Looe, this pub serves local beers as well as some of the more mainstream ones, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the food!

Great pub, nice food, gets very busy though. Good atmosphere and outdoor seating area offers great views.

May I have some tap water?" "uhhhhh, okay...?" Smashing first impression, but nevermind, the food may be good. turns out it wasn't. There was practically no fish, but grand if you enjoy a bunch of sggy batter. The fish was tasteless and the chips were average. I wouldn't bother, just bring a sandwich and enjoy it by the water. speaking of tap water, it was warm and they barely filled it.

Good quality fish and chips. We had Hake and chips with Tartare sauce. Fish was lovely and crispy, chips were pretty good and Tartare sauce delicious. Only slight down side was that two items we ordered first (Plaice and Squid) were both off, but perhaps this was seasonal supply related. That said what we had was very nice, and there is seating outside next to the harbour.

Bit pricey but the portions were decent, cod was huge, tasty and the batter was crispy. Chips were delicious too. My wife got the curry sauce and said it was lovely

I ate here yesterday with my family whilst on holiday. We are from a seaside town anyway, but all 5 of us have said this is the BEST fish and chips we have EVER had! Incredible food! The fish was huge, the batter was golden and crispy, the chips were great and the battered sausage was amazing! Overall amazing experience would definitely recommend!

Awful! Chips were tasteless, fish was below average and the mushy peas were so dry. Stick to Kelly's (who is actually cheaper and perfect every time).

FANTASTIC chip shop. We got there 5 minutes before close and they were still incredibly welcoming and friendly, and cooked us our food fresh. It was potentially the best tasting fish & chips we've ever had.

My partner and I are both coeliac and we both were extremely surprised to find a gluten free fish and chip shop in Looe. It was brilliant to be able to enjoy a proper chippy lunch after not being able to have it for a very long time. The gluten free batter was tasty. The chips were great. We really enjoyed it and the staff were very friendly.

Ordered a 9' 'The Meaty One' from this place, great taste and perfect portion size for one (although a bit greasy so maybe use a plate to put your pizza box in when eating) but all around solid👍

WARNING FELLOW TEESSIDERS! The Parmos they serve are not a proper parmos. It’s basically a chicken nugget with melted cheese. I couldn’t see or taste any béchamel sauce at all. That being said, if I’d ordered it not knowing what an actual parmo was like I wouldn’t have minded it. Or if it was advertised as cheesy chicken nugget I’d get on board. And the garlic sauce was alright, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall I’d say, if you’re wanting a parmo, don’t bother. If you fancy a cheesy chicken nugget, give it a go!

Friendly bloke behind the counter took my order. Place is cash only but there's a free to use ATM next door. Ordered 4 pizzas a doner meat and chips and a portion of chips. It came to £65 which is expensive compared to the same order back home in Yorkshire which would've been £45. Food was nice, but they're charging restaurant prices rather than takeaway prices.

Ignore the bad reviews food was bangingggg Kebab and pizza mwahhh would highly recommend. Good for value for moneyt to especially the mega box’s .

Since it was a place where it was not clear whether there was a door or not, we were going to go in and see what was there. We took a step, but the employee, whose body language was very bad, and showed me to go out with his hand shame he could talk . We gave up, "his food must be the same as him bad please love your job where ever you working good like rest of your life

Plz tell me wot was going on ere with ma pizza there was no tomato base just tasteless cheese. And the kebab looks very well presented but the coleslaw was tasteless and the kofta was ok, char grilled chicken was nice but only 3 pieces,i can tell the doner meat was the cheap one and i asked for chille sauce which was totally disgusting it comes warm and has no taste and then the chille hits u.why r the pizzas so dear back at home i can get a 10" margarita for £3.00 deep pan.and do u know wot they sell loads. sorry i won't be coming back. Totally waste of my money

Amazing food amazing mix meat and chips absolutely amazing food
