polperro restaurant

excellent food, classic dishes done with a modern theatrical twist resulting in and wonderfully interesting experience. location is beautiful, nice intimate dining space with great staff.

oh another lovely day on the peninsula, arrive at polperro, unload the kids, unload the pram, walk down the hill and find a seat. as usual, no service so we head to the bar and ask if we buy drinks at the bar or wait for service and we are assured that someone will be with us quickly at our seats. 10 minutes later, still nothing, so we pack up the family, load up the car and drive away. young inexperienced service staff, no ability to see what’s going on in your restaurant and deck, couples with your overpriced mediocre menu and wine

beautiful. had been screaming to try this place out since it opened as i had been watching the refurb with some interest. stunning, understated interior with a big open fire and warm welcoming staff. great food and impressive wine & cocktail list. didn't leave room for the donuts so will have to return very soon.

we had dinner here during our overnight stay on the peninsula and loved it! the space itself is really cosy: we felt right at home immediately. the staff were really friendly and gave us some great advice on choosing from the menu (and also vegie gardening advice!) and everything we had was excellent. they encourage sharing so we had a bit of everything: the foraged mushroom risotto gets a special mention. we felt really well looked after and will return next time we're down that way!

a lovely getaway. stayed one night midweek & had a beautiful lunch on a thursday
very relaxing & well appointed villas with lovely open fireplace & spa
staff at restaurant were delightful & extremely accommodating& friendly
would highly recommend this establishment to everyone

beautiful scenery to sit and admire over a delicious lunch! we had the tour menu as suggested by waitress and she was correct we could not fault it, it was absolutely delicious! will definitely be returning

the best of everything. what a standout restaurant! a cosy and sophisticated interior, attentive and friendly service and delicious food that embraces seasonal produce from the local area. it's hard to pick favourites, but reccomendations include the churros, salmon cavier blinis and wagu bresola to start and the prawns, masterstock chicken and duck cassoulet for mains. an absolute must is a tasting at the cellar door - ask for sam the winemaker.

avoid if you have food allergies!
i have had so many beautiful meals at this restaurant over the years, made better because they always catered to my dairy and gluten allergies so well. unfortunately i had a recent booking that had to be cancelled as i was informed that the chef no longer caters for dietary requirements! i was also informed that “many restaurants” are now doing this!! i don’t think so. i am sorry, but i have never, ever been told by any restaurant that they can’t cater to my allergies. restaurants all over the world don’t have an issue and even small local cafes are able to cater. in addition with so many people with food allergies i can’t see that they will be able to stay in business with this approach. unfortunately, avoid this restaurant if you have any food allergies or intolerances as they don’t want your business!!

polperro, you should be ashamed of yourselves. riding on the coattails of a previous chef to charge for what at best can be described as pedestrian food at best and charge outrageous prices to boot shows you have no cre for either the food or your customers. your own sommelier summed it best when he said yoy should always start with a great starter and and wirh a great dessert. so let's start there. your starter of potato rosti with sour cream and caviar was cold and lifeless. your pickled beetroot squares was bland at best and miso tuna had no miso flavouring at all. next up, gazpacho and crayfish, well where do you want to start. vinegar soup killed the crayfish so you might have well had basa...wouldn't have made any difference. next up, pork belly....which wel so thinly cut, it might as well been (and really it was) just overcooked bacon, so horrendous. the slaw the only redeeming feature. the only course that was ok on thr menu was the duck...but tea smoked? not sure bout that. the sides of duck fat potatoes was dead and lifeless, the potatoes so obviously sitting around for a while...how can you tell...well the potatoes were all cracked and they were floury. duck was cooked ...just ok. next up, the dish that should have summed up your talents as chefs....and it did. raspberries, vanilla custard and a chocolate triffle.....no flavour in anything but the raspberries. i had run your not more than 2 hours beforehand to make sure everything was running smoothly and to advise (again) that it was my wife's birthday. the lady i spoke to said yes, something special will be done...but nothing, not even a mention. the only saving grace was the decent wines..so perhaps you should stick to that. for the owner/chef who took over from the departure of the previous chef certainly has no chef backbone in his body to be charging these extraordinary prices for substandard for at best.

i was recently treated to a fine birthday lunch at this gorgeous winery. loved every course which was immaculately and lovingly prepared. beautiful flavours and presentation. polite staff. i can’t wait to return again!

polperro has always been on my list of restaurants to visit and it really did not disappoint. the menu was inspired and creative, playing with textures, concepts and flavour combinations - a true triumph. the dishes packed truckloads of flavour into their dainty dishes, and coupled with their stunning backdrop and lovely staff, it made for a wonderful dining experience. a must try.

had a great night with good friends. sensational food in a great setting and wonderful and friendly service. highly recommend it.

this was a great lunch. the setting is outstanding, probably the best arrangement i have seen at a winery. the menu was a degustation style using local ingredients and produce and we took the matched wine option. every course was extremely good, the best we felt was the duck but really you couldn’t fault anything. highly recommend this place.

this place is amazing! the building is nestled on a sloping hill so there beautiful views of the vines and trees. there’s wine tasting and you could wander down the back for a picnic. if you’re after something more formal the dining room has everything you’d expect from a winery and the out door terrace boasts all the fine dining experience inside offers but with a more chilled vibe. if you’re looking for a more relaxed time there’s a garden just as you enter from the free onsite large car park. the food is more towards the expensive side but definitely worth every penny. i’m looking forward to the next time i get to go to polperre

came here some time ago for the set menu. the atmosphere and setting was very nice. however, the rose that was recommended to us was a bit too weak for our taste buds. the food took quite a long time to arrive as expected but they were quite nice. overall, we enjoyed the afternoon at the restaurant!
