Temple: Restaurant, Cafe & Rooftop Bar

After thinking I’d booked this place for 7pm we’d turned up to a reasonably busy restaurant where they’d sat us down, only to come tell us that I’d somehow cancelled my table and must’ve double booked somewhere. Fear not, they said come back in an hour or so and they’ll be a table ready for us. Went to a local pub to consume a beer and got a call 30 minutes later to tell us they have a table ready for us now. We turned up after shortly finishing our drinks where we greeted with our servers who were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Every detail from the quality of paper of the menu to the bottle of wine recommended for us to the cool crockery was all absolutely fabulous. The food was tapas style served as a set menu and was truly amazing. Flavour wise, all the dishes were outstanding and the standout was the scallops which I inevitably had to get every last drop… I know I’ve said the price is expensive but my girlfriend and I are greedy pigs but I wouldn’t have it any other way lol. The staff were chatty and friendly, giving us recommendations for the rest of our trip in the area and one bloke who can’t have been older than 18 was absolutely class. Bailey told me he’d been working there for a week but he made it seem like he’d been there for so much longer - top man! I didn’t catch the name of the lovely lady who was also looking after us but she was another quality member of the team. Please visit this restaurant if you’re in the area!!!

Booked in advance for 2 of us evening out without the kids. Nice set menu - limited choice but we found enough especially with the additional offering of small plates which we opted for the scallops. 3 x vegetarian starters which were tasty - especially the garlic scapes which were new to us. Mains of hake and rump steak served up with some really nice slaw and most excellent roast potatoes. More high end dining but very enjoyable

Fantastic evening meal, different type of menu as a set menu of 3 plates for starters to share and then a choice of either meat fish or vegetarian for main and sides Really liked the concept, food was excellent backed up by attentive and happy service, would highly recommend

Had a wonderful meal. Service was great and the food didn’t disappoint. Every dish had so much thought put into it. Would highly recommend for a special meal

Incredible food some of the best we have ever had! Easily adapted to be vegan with minimal fuss - great service would 100% reccomend

Lovely restaurant with a great menu. Very happy to adapt pretty much any of the dishes to be vegan ( most of the menu was veggie) really great adaptations and super tasty food. We also bought a vegan carrot cake to take away which was super tasty. Beautiful decor and really friendly service

Absolutely fantastic! The place I am staying in unexpectedly closed its restaurant on Sunday so after walking the SWCP all day I was ready for a good meal. At first I was doubtful about managing three starters but they, and the fried aubergine, were inspired. This is masterful cooking served in unpretentious surroundings. Perfect!

Had a lovely meal here, they were able and more than happy to cater the menu for vegans, most of the menu is vegan/veggie anyway! The food was absolutely delicious, really interesting and inventive flavours, the kind of place you'd be happy for the chef to do the choosing for you and it'll always be great. Fantastic wine list, and the atmosphere and service was top notch. Overall, a real treat of a restaurant in one of our favourite places on the Cornish coast!
