The Dwelling House at Fowey

Lovely restaurant with absolutely beautiful food and a relaxed atmosphere.The menu is mostly South East-Asian inspired dishes with plenty of seafood options, and a couple of more Mediterranean style items. I had a Sri Lankan Hake curry, which was light, fresh, and perfectly spiced. I also got to taste the salmon with dal and the lamb giouvetsi which were both very tasty (I would choose the lamb if I visited again).For dessert, I chose a warm plum cake which was light, sweet but not too decadent. It was a great finish to the meal.Prices were around 18-20 for a main, which I thought was reasonable given the area and the quality of food.The staff were very pleasant and we enjoyed a couple of laughs with them.I'd recommend booking as it seemed busy.

Probably one of the best breakfasts we had in a long time! Perfectly poached eggs on yummy buttery toast. Delicious coffee too! We visited on sunny day and sat outside, in the beautiful courtyard.Yet to try the sweet menu but I am sure it is as great as savoury selection.

It’s easy to walk by and not notice this place but you MUST go in if you love tasty food. We loved every mouthful. Had a few of the small plates. Indonesian meatballs, sticky pork, pak choi and beans. And dog friendly!

We had a fantastic meal here, lovely and homely venue with attentive and friendly staff. The food was incredible, everything from our starters to dessert were prepared to perfection, with every bite a treat to the senses. I highly recommend this place - it was such a good find, if you’re ever in Fowey and looking for a real treat, this is it.

Visited here with our 5 year old, amazing little place! Exceptional service and lovely food. Definitely different to most of the other places in Fowey! We shared the small plates, all great- I’d recommend the Indonesian meatballs & halloumi dish. This place is a hidden gem! Thank you for a fab meal.

We did the walk from Polperro and were late getting back. Looking for food at 9pm most places had stopped serving. At the Dwelling House some people in the front room called out to us through the open window and said how good the food was. They were right, we had an excellent Thai seafood curry, Italian meatballs and salad. It was excellent and the people there were very friendly. It felt like going to a good friend’s house for dinner.

We had a great dinner here. The food is local, fresh and delicious. Service was very good too. You'll definitely need to book even in winter.

A delicious meal following a trip up the river. The food is a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese, Italian and Indonesia. The Lady owner is the cook and she is a super talent.
