I wont mince my words EXPENSIVE, CLAUSTROPHOBIC, UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE , GOOD WINE LIST, FAUX LEATHER DECOR , SMALL PORTIONS WE LEFT FEELING HUNGRY. THE FOOD WE ATE WAS AT BEST BETTER THAN THE ART ON THE WALLS. NOT AT ALL WHAT WE HAD HOPED FOR.

The Abbey restaurant has been recently taken over and as far as I can see, this is certainly not a change for the worse! My wife and I ate at the Abbey last week (having been to the Abbey many times previously) and the food was absolutely sensational. I have never tasted food with so many different, yet complimentary flavours. The menu itself was enticing enough, but the food that actually came out of the kitchen continued to exceed my expectations. Each dish was truly a work of art. Yes, it is relitavely expensive (though not the most expensive in Penzance!), but its certainly worth the money. The decor changes between downstairs and the restaurant is perfect (we were glad to see that the red had remained!) and service attentive yet not claustrophobic. It is more than dinner, it is a journey in itself. Well done to the new chef, and I hope the Abbey continues in this vein - we will most certainly be back!

The long wait between the starter and main course did not add to our enjoyment of the meal. The foie gras was all right, but not the best we have had by any means. My red mullet was quite nice but Norman's steak was smothered in Bearnaise sauce, which would have been better served on the side. At least we had a laugh at the wine list. It was interesting to note that the gewurtztraminer tasted of pear and "leeches". I hope they meant lychees or litchis!

Abbey Restaurant Review
review by: Yvonne Hill

Delightful, calm & comfortable bar & restaurant, down a quaint lane leading from Chapel Street to the Wharf. [don't try to drive!]
Service is unobtrusive but attentive. Environment relaxing with subtle but noticable attention to detail. Head Chef Ben Tunnicliffe prefers to cook himself, so you get consitently well thought out & prepared dishes which are unpretentious and satisfying. Never a missed beat, never a slip up, no hurry... excellent!
