About This Place

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, Priscilla’s Restaurant is a true gem for lovers of fresh, expertly prepared seafood. This family-run seafood restaurant provides an intimate and warm dining experience that perfectly complements its stunning coastal surroundings in Little Grn, Looe.

From the moment you step inside, you’re embraced by a cozy, lively atmosphere where the bustle of an open kitchen and the genuine smiles of the family team combine to create a feeling of genuine hospitality. Here, dining is more than just a meal; it is a memorable occasion where attention to detail meets heartfelt service.

The menu is a carefully curated celebration of the sea and local ingredients, expertly transformed into dishes that seduce both the eye and palate. Signature offerings like the Seafood Platter boast an enticing array of fresh catches, while the Luxury Fish Pie delivers decadent comfort with its creamy, flavorful layers. For starters, the Cornish Crab Soup is a velvety, aromatic delight served with crusty bread, and the Whole Baked Camembert topped with rosemary and garlic offers a rich, melting introduction to the meal.

Fans of bold, vibrant flavors will appreciate choices like the Ceviche, where fresh fish is married with zestful citrus, or the delicate Scallops in Smoked Garlic Butter, a dish that lingers long after the last bite. For those seeking heartier comfort, the Sunday Roast and expertly prepared Pot Roast embody traditional British goodness with a seafood twist.

It’s not just the food that shines—Priscilla’s also impresses with its selection of nibbles such as marinated mixed olives and a tempting bread basket accompanied by extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, perfect for whetting the appetite or sharing at the table.

What truly elevates the experience here is the blend of professionalism and relaxed charm in the service. As Freddy Tischler notes, the staff are attentive and adapt to their guests’ energy—whether that’s a lively group or a quiet, intimate table—without ever compromising on warmth or efficiency. This balance makes every visit feel personalized and welcoming.

Special occasions find a perfect venue at Priscilla’s, with guests like Rachael Whittaker highlighting the thoughtful touches such as table decorations and personalized birthday cards, ensuring that celebrations feel truly special. The restaurant’s family atmosphere extends to a genuine hospitality that welcomes children, vegetarians, vegans, and even four-legged friends, making it an inclusive destination for all.

Whether you are drawn by the authentic Cornish seafood flavors, the inviting ambience of a small, family-run establishment, or the prospect of enjoying a relaxed yet refined dining experience, Priscilla’s Restaurant promises an unforgettable culinary journey that beautifully captures the spirit of Polperro.

    We have been here several times over the past few years and nothing has really changed. There is a good choice of food available with specials on offer. Food is well cooked, good ingredients and well presented. A reasonable wine list is also available. Service is a delight. Whilst it is very professional it can also be relaxed depending on the customers. We prefer happy and relaxed (yet always professional) and that is what we had. The atmosphere is fine with a variety of diners none of whom felt the need to shout to the person next to them. Cost is reasonable when all is taken into account, especially considering a bottle of wine was included. My advice to any prospective diners would be to book a table. Whilst of course they would be happy to cater for a 'walk-in', tables are often reserved or in use. I recommend Priscilla's Restaurant highly and no doubt will be returning here in the future

    Me and my partner ate at Michelle's in August 2023. A cosy, family-run restaurant serving lovely food at a good price point. Booking in advance in essential, they are only open Thursday to Sunday and do a small number of covers each evening. It really is a small restaurant with an intimate vibe and it was lovely to be able to chat to the family who run the restaurant during and after the meal. The service on the whole was excellent and extremely friendly, particular shout out to the young lady who did a stellar job serving us. Now onto the food - we both opted for seafood (both for starter and main) and it was excellent. The crab bisque starter was absolutely packed with flavour and the mackerel pate was also very nice. No complaints there. For mains we both ordered the monkfish in a creamy sauce and the fish was cooked to absolute perfection, and an excellent sized portion for the price. The monkfish was presented in a very nice and refined way, although slightly at odds with the vegetables/sides which I would describe as more rustic. Regrettably, the truffle and parmesan chips we ordered were too dark on the outside (oil too hot/cooked too long) and I couldn't taste much truffle/parmesan. For dessert we both opted for affogato and unfortunately this just didn't really work. I'm not sure why but the ice cream was extremely hard and never really melted, possibly the freezer was too cold, or there is too much clotted cream in the recipe - shame as the taste was delicious. In terms of drinks, there is a good selection wines at very reasonable prices. On the whole, we had a lovely time. Not everything was perfect but the gripes were fairly minor, and I do believe this place has the potential to be truly outstanding if some of the rougher and more rustic edges are sanded off. I'd certainly return if we visit Polperro again.

    Amazing service, great fresh food, lovely atmosphere. We were there as a family group for a 60th birthday and all were catered for exceptionally well. Young children were welcomed and vegetarian options were excellent. The staff had decorated the table and written a birthday card which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend visiting especially for a special occasion.

    A fantastic family run restaurant in the middle of a beautiful historic fishing village, Polperro. A great warm welcome upon entering. The food made with the best quality ingredients and tasted delicious. A great warm lively atmosphere and to finish great homemade deserts. Highly recommend a visit.

    Exceptional family-run restaurant in the centre of Polperro which we booked by phone. Carefully crafted menu with seafood emphasis but plenty of other options including kids and vegans. Food and service both top rank and a particular pleasure in watching the family at work in the open kitchen and the whole place was spotlessly clean. They happily welcome dogs.

    Charming and competent staff serving high quality food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and very good value, we paid €69 for 3 courses and a bottle of well chosen house wine.

    Lovely Sunday roast, a must to visit. The only negative was we couldn’t fit in pudding
