Harris's Restaurant

Absolutely out of this world food! So glad we booked this restaurant in advance. The decor was lovely, warm and inviting. The service was friendly and with a smile, and the food was delicious. The monkfish risotto was really special and worth trying. My husband has the goats cheese starter and steak as a main and loved both of them. Desserts were also great, with the chocolate torte being utterly scrumptious. I could have had another one, it was that good. They allowed us to bring our dog, which was very kind of them. The thyme sorbet as a palette cleanser was a lovely added touch. Just a great restaurant!

As its a family establishment Im being generous with the rating. The food is bland and unseasoned and overpriced. We cooked with more flavour at our campsite. It was so disappointing. The atmosphere is non existent. Staff were lovely but don’t be fooled into thinking this is fine dining.

We come down to Penzance at least 3 times per year to our holiday bungalow at Kenegie Manor. This year saw our 50th wedding anniversary and as a present my brother treated us to dinner at Harris's. Tucked down a side street (New Street) off Market Jew Street we have never previously noticed this establishment. The front of house staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable.For starters we had Cornets of smoked salmon with fresh Newlyn white crab meet followed by grilled fillet steak with bearnaise sauce (me) and Roast monkfish on saffron risotto. We finished the meal with creme brulee. All dishes were beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Surprisingly the sauté potatoes accompanying the main meal were fantastic. It was a wonderful meal to celebrate our anniversary. We will be back next time we are down.

Probably the best restaurant on the Penwith peninsula. Excellently cooked fresh produce and old-school great service. Absolutely love the atmosphere. You’d feel like you’re transported to another world the moment you step into Harris’s.

My wife and I were from Hong Kong and in our first visit, we found out that this restaurant has some history related to HK! Mr. and Mrs Harris are very nice and wonderful people. We like this restaurant.

What a gem! Best restaurant we have been to in years. Food was fresh, of high quality, interesting menu and Mrs Garris and assistant were positively charming. Can’t recommend enough.

Lovely welcome from a wonderful family run restaurant. Top class food & wine & very attentive service. Thank you to the Harris's for such memorable visits. Hope to be back soon.

One of our favourite little restaurants for an intimate dinner for two. The food is perfectly cooked every time and the few staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The wine selection is good too. There is not much else I can say as there is nothing to fault here.

The best place to eat in the area. I have lived in Penzance for over 40 years and for me Harris's is the best restaurant. The same couple have owned this establishment and the cooking is exceptional

Can be very good but at those prices you'd expect it to be. Slightly odd place - very old school English fine dining. Wine selection is very good.

Reasonable food but very expensive for what it is. Service from the maitre d was a little bit snooty - snooty with a smile; an implied 'I don't have to be doing this you know'. We've been twice now, and it was the same on each occasion.
