The Dwelling House at Fowey

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.

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.

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.

Used to often go the the Dwelling House about 3 years ago. Really enjoyed going. They had a brilliant selection of Homemade cakes, scones, breads. Great choice of food on offer on their menu. The pictures are of how it used to be back then. Also had two rooms available for tables so plenty of seating and space I would have recommended it back then to everyone. Big 10 out if 10 for service and choice and cost. Visited again on the 12/11/22 to find it completely changed. Now very few tables available but luckily had one free. Hardly any choice of cake , basically 3 to choose from Wanted a bacon sandwich but had no bacon. Opted for tea for two, and two toasted sandwiches one cheese and one cheese and ham. £17.00 for the two toasties !! Served on plates that were way to small to be practical with almost more garnish than toasties. Service freindly but slow. Shame as it used to be such as nice place to go before. Sometimes I feel that changes are not always for the best.

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 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.

We found this quirky little place for lunch. We had focaccia toastie with courgette, sun dried tomato and mozzarella, and a fresh crab sandwich on granary bread. Good wholesome food,washed down with a beer and pot of tea. All very enjoyable. Reasonably priced. One comment would be that the toilet facilities could do with a bit of a makeover,quite an odd setup.
