I've visited Truro Lounge a few times over the years when I'm in Cornwall to visit relatives there…read more It's excellent for brunch, lunch and dinner and it seems they've increased the offerings on their menu. This last time I visited there I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles that I really enjoyed and really were spicy and that's what I like, hot and spicy food. I've enjoyed their burgers and brunch there too. The coffee and tea offerings are wonderful and Truro Lounge is my go-to place while in Truro. Great atmosphere and friendly service too.

Awful. My brisket birria toastie came with about a tablespoon of beef. If that. The ketchup isn't…read morecovered and neither that or the mayo are refrigerated. The vinegar had bits floating in it. The chenin blanc is vinegary and sour. Probably been open too long. The skin on fries are peeled. They forgot the dip for the birria then brought it out cold and congealed. No napkins. Positives - the toilets are clean, the decor is fun, the staff are quite friendly. But if you want a decent meal, do NOT come here!!!

Saffron is probably my favourite restaurant in the world, and definitely the best my adopted…read morehometown has to offer! I try to make it to Saffron at least once every visit 'home' since discovering it in 2005, and I've never been disappointed by the quality of the food yet. The ingredients are delicious and everything is prepared perfectly, from the very simple piri-piri chips up to the more exotic fare. The fact that Saffron uses local products as much as possible means not only that everything is terrifically fresh, but also that Saffron changes its menu frequently - every time I've been, it's been a completely different menu! The drinks menu (both alcoholic and non) is also great, and showcases some more of Cornwall's specialties. The staff is excellent; they're warm and welcoming and very accommodating of people's physical needs and tastes. All in all, Saffron is a wonderful place with a wonderful atmosphere and INCREDIBLE food. Go already!

I've eaten here many times and cannot fault the quality of the food or the contemporary menu…read more My only criticism is that customers are treated as numbers on seats and the staff lack charisma. The owners probably see no need to employ an experienced Maître de since the place is packed pretty much every night of the week, but not being recognised after eating there many many times is certainly getting on my nerves.

This was Truro's first real fusion restaurant and still remains the most popular. Always busy,it is…read moreadvisable to book. Good, balanced range of dishes on offer but mostly Thai influenced. Brilliant atmosphere;professional and courteous staff; open and lively kitchen adds to the ambience. The real test of course is the actual taste and it does not disappoint. As good as most 'up country' establishments and reasonably priced. Average main dish about £10.00. With noodles and side dished expect to spend about £20.00 per head plus drinks.

We ended up in Mannings last Sunday purely by chance. We were hungry and happened to be walking…read morealong Lemon Street when we happened upon this smart restaurant. We were enticed by the advertisement of a Sunday lunch. It was quite busy and were we're told by the lady that we would have a 15 minute wait, which was fine. We took a seat at the bar and the bartender made us some drinks. My partner, who was driving asked for a J20 which they did not serve. He explained they made their own, and asked what flavour was wanted. We watched while he made a fresh orange and passionfruit drink (which was delicious) and then shortly after (well before the promised 15 minutes) we were taken to our table. The roast was delicious. The restaurant was light, modern but welcoming and comfortable. The staff were very professional, attentive and incredibly friendly. We will definitely be returning when we are in Truro.

Mannings is not a statement on US politics, but just a Hotel bar in sleepy Cornwall town Truro…read more It's trying very hard to be hip and cool and trendy. The athmosphere is a bit nicer then some other bars in town, but it's not outstanding. Prices are decent and the G&T came with two slices of cucumber.

The staff were friendly and helpful and made you feel very special, even giving some great tips of places to visit and activities to try while we were in Cornwall. The food was superb, the plumpest, juiciest mussels, probably the best I've ever tried. The main, bouillabaisse for two was incredible - a delicious soup full of lovely fresh seafood, cooked to perfection. All in all a great meal and, incredible value for money, the bill was much lower than one would have expected for such great food.

I didn't expect it to be absolutely dripping in grease, and I didn't manage to eat it all. Must be a bit of a hit and miss with the food, because my friend's food looked lovely. Despite this, they brought it out very quickly. Quicker than some fast-food places I've been too.

The service was lovely and so was the food. They don't have their own website and there was no menu available online, but they mostly do traditional English fare.

They had several specials on their blackboards advertising lunch, so will have to come back to try that out!

Came down to cornwall for the weekend and ended up here for dinner on our first night in Truro…read more The hotel itself is beautiful, an old convent with gorgeous features and lots of space as could only be expected. The bar and restaurant area are very modern and light with plenty of seating for large and small groups. The bar was well stocked and the staff were lovely. They had more gin on offer than I even knew existed ! The food was lovely. Menu had a great selection of meat and seafood with a few vegetarian choices. We had a selection of starters which everyone loved, I had the pork belly which was cooked absolutely perfectly. For my main I had the duck breast, and no word of a lie, this was probably the best tasting and most well cooked piece of duck I have ever had. For dessert I had the deconstructed peanut butter cheesecake which consisted of various ice creams and peanutty goods which again was lovely, but we all know Cornish ice cream is the best in England ! I would definitely come back to the restaurant, fairly pricey but the food and setting are both worth it. Only 2 mins walk from Truro centre too ! 5*

At the front of the building there is a take away desk which can get quite busy at peak times, but the staff do seem to get through the queue quite quickly. The restaurant is at the back of the building at is on two leels, although I have not seen the upstairs open very much recently. The staff seem to be very professional and you usually do not have to wait too long to be served. This is the best place to eat fish and chips in Truro!

Inside the décor is hard to describe, to me it's almost like an old gentlemans club with leather chairs and shelves full of old books, before the smoking ban the place used to be full of cigar smoke. They serve good real ales and lagers and do some really nice pies and liver etc, check out for any lunchtime offers as well, last time we managed to get some really good value lunches that tasted great.
