Narla by Charlie Walters

Exceptional! We visited for lunch and enjoyed an amazing meal, from the moment we arrived to a warm, friendly welcome from the team and Charlie on the pass, a wonderful elegant and modern restaurant, the set menu provided a great option. The scallop starters were perfectly cooked, the lamb rump and the gorgeous lamb neck tartlet was a triumph, I would have happily ordered another serving! The sea bass was equally impressive with a sauce that definitely needed the spoon that was provided, to avoid a drop being wasted. All finished off with the honey affagato and a cheeky espresso martini. Probably a good job its not closer to home, it would be our go to restaurant. Thanks to Charlie and the team, Foye is incredibly lucky to have you. My pictures don't do it justice.

Outstanding – and how lovely to be welcomed in by Charlie from the pass. It was like meeting a superstar. Love that personal touch. All the staff were absolutely first class, and Narla deserves top marks for delivering exquisite dining… and that was just for lunch! Every dish was beautifully presented, and we thoroughly enjoyed each one. The restaurant itself is classy, with just the right music and a wonderful ambience. A special thank you for welcoming our dog and making such a fuss of him – it really added to the experience. This restaurant is without doubt the best in Fowey. Truly the jewel in the crown!

Wow, wow wow. This place so deserves a Michelain star. Food was sublime. The service exceptional. The potato crackers were out of this world. Such care and attention to the presentation. Very pretty dishes. The steak tartare was exceptional and the best cheeseboard presentation. Will return next time I visit fowey. What an asset to such a lovely place.

A Truly Memorable Evening at Narla – A Rising Star in Fowey My wife Grace and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Narla in Fowey, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Despite being a new addition to the town’s dining scene, Narla already feels like a well-established gem. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully renovated building that effortlessly blends charm with contemporary elegance. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — the perfect setting for a relaxed yet refined evening. We enjoyed a superb three-course dinner, each dish thoughtfully crafted and packed with flavour. It’s clear that the kitchen is driven by a serious culinary vision; the food will certainly attract the Michelin critics in short order! Every plate was a balance of creativity and precision, showcasing high-quality ingredients and real attention to detail. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their attentiveness added to the overall sense that Narla is aiming high — and achieving it. We left thoroughly impressed and already planning a return visit. Narla is a restaurant to watch, and we feel lucky to have experienced it so early in its journey - Highly recommended. Thanks to Charlie, Leah and the team. Keep up the good work! (PS. Sorry about the rubbish pictures!)

Narla is without a doubt my current favourite restaurant in Fowey, the atmosphere, the food and the service are perfectly crafted. It is clear that Charlie loves the food he cooks and equally enjoys seeing people appreciate his work. This is a more pricy restaurant with 3 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts, 2 cocktails and a bottle of red wine coming in at around £280. Worth every penny. I also recommend you try the bread as it is simply fantastic! We will certainly be visiting again.

Simply… excellent! Delicious food, original combination of tastes and magnificently presented. Well deserved 5-stars rate! Compliments to the chef and the whole Narla’s staff. If you are in Fowey and want to enjoy a unique dining experience, this is the place to go.

Wow! What a beautiful gem of a place. Excellent service, a warm welcome to us and the 2 dogs by all the staff. Lovely clean open kitchen. Amazing food. Nothing rushed and too much trouble. The best oysters ever as well as everything else we had. It’s almost like a tapas as food comes out when it’s ready rather than all at once but that’s a great way to relax and enjoy the place. Upstairs is so chilled and relaxed we could have sat there all afternoon. Charlie even took time from his busy kitchen to share his recipe with us on one of the dishes and it is clear he really takes pride in what he does. Thank you for a lovely lunch. Nichola & Sime

Difficult restaurant to review as the food was excellent but the service was disappointing. The service was attention but felt forced and not very genuine. The low point of the meal was when asking to change the crackers accompanying the cheese platter for bread, we were informed that we would need to pay for the bread separately. Disappointing in any circumstance but particularly here where the amount spent was substantial. This simple question seemed to unsettle the waiting staff further and resulted in an uncomfortable end to the night. The scallops, lamp and lamb posset were faultless.
