Pescadou Restaurant in Cornwall

Absolutely lovely place to eat. My husbands mussels main was beautiful and my meal was equally as good. Our child's fish and chips were very good quality and overall we really enjoyed our meal. Would 100% recommend this restaurant with its lovely food, beautiful view of padstow harbour and the service. Many thanks to John the host for making our time a lovely one

We was down Padstow visiting family and we thought on the last night we would go for a nice meal. We have been other places in Padstow but wanted to try somewhere different. We found this place and what a find it was, the restaurant is very well designed and nice inside. We had the chicken wings and camembert for starters both were very nice and then we had the steak each one with potatoes and one with sweet potatoe fries, both steak were cooked rally nice and there was plenty of flavour. The staff were really polite, would recommend this place for a nice meal that doesn't break the bank whilst in padstow.

Been twice now 2 with my partner between us had four fabulous meals and you must try the melted camembert with chutney and toast to share.

Superb. Had the Surf & Turf burger and couldnt fault it. My partner, who is a chef, had the Big Smokey and again was perfect. Beers were excellent. Service was fantastic. Considering this is Padstow in the height of the season, very reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Would give a sixth star if possible! ******

Food was fine but a bit slow getting it out of the kitchen. Waitress was ace and she looked after us and kept us updated, but it took two hours to get three courses in an early-evening seating. Won't put us off another try as the food did make up for the delay.

Very fresh Oysters. Properly priced wine and perfectly prepared sea bass. Our waiter was very polite and helpful. Including tracking us down in the harbour to reunite us with the hat we left behind.

Booked a table the night before for 7pm arrived 7 mins early as we had a drink next door at the custom house. Stood waiting dressed up looking very smart to see customers leaving in shorts and t shirts who we had seen earlier that day playing on the beach with there dog. Eventually got seated into a trucking cafe style seating area which as a long distance lorry driver ive had better seating on a lay by. Ordered for myself a classic prawn cocktail and for specials they had scallops which my mother and father ordered. On arrival of starters I had what only can be described as white worms covered in a very watery seafood sauce i make better with mayo and tomato sauce in a lorry and prawns are not 1 to 2mm thick and look like worms. The scallops were burnt on the one side where they have been over cooked and were very rubbery. And this is a fishing quay???? It was heavily over priced the bottle of red wine ordered was dumped on the table and not opened for us to even try at 21 pound a bottle and was awful.and I really look forward to what could have been a fantastic meal . Shame on you and glad we left when we did and used the ship inn which was lovely pub grub. Please avoid this place if you want seafood it's terrible and the prawns you can get in the pubs for half the price are 3x the size and juicy. Please please understand this is a totally my personal review however I've travelled all over the world and eaten in some very exclusive restaurants as well as had a bacon butty on a roadside cafe for Penny's. If your paying expensive prices you expect reasonable to good quality but this falls very short of this at expensive prices, and just disappoints.

Lovely meal, our starter prawn and crab cocktail was delicious. Main well cooked and beautiful panna cotta to finish. Served by friendly waitress in fab location. Would recommend

Ordered the prawn/crab starter and was “ok”. Service is super slow, don’t go here if you’re thirsty or starving. Wife was happy with her mussels. I ordered the plaice and all four mouth fulls of it was bland and mushy. Good luck finding a salt grinder thats works as well (due to the moisture I know). Vegetables were like they are at home so nothing fancy. All in all, wish I’d just bought fish and chips down the road. Would have been quicker, cheaper and more satisfying.

This was a lovely little place to eat during our visit to Padstow... I can't say I was blown away by the food but the atmosphere and service were great. I had a dressed crab salad which was cool and I'm so glad I ordered the fish burger too otherwise I'd have still been hungry lol... everyonr else's food was nice from the serious chomping going down on our table! I'm not dying to go back there but would have no problem returning!
