This is an establishment that in many respects troubled us however there is no doubt that the food is outstanding. Let me explain. The menu is promoted as being heavily Cornish and very locally based. This appears to be the case. We majored on seafood and can highly recommend the Plaice with caper and mushroom sauce and the Hake with... More

If you are loking for a good meal in North Cornwall, you should try The Riverside in Boscastle. We have just had our second meal in three days at this charming restaurant. Both meals (seabass and seabrim, the first night and smoked haddok on creamy spinage) were very good. And the staffs are very friendly.

Grumpy staff and quite expensive; it is always sad when you are met by grumpy staff and this did not endear us which was a shame

Celebrated at the Riverside, excellent service, very good food, Scallop & Bacon starter, wife had Hake with Smoked Salmon I had Crab Salad, both very nice (could have done with some new potatoes with the salad perhaps) finished by the excellent Meringue with Clotted Cream and berries! All in all a terrific meal and decent value at just over £50... More

I cannot speak highly enough of the lovely meal we had here. My wife had Plaice with Scallops which was excellent. I had a Sirloin steak which was perfectly cooked and served with home made, double cooked chips. When I asked for some Garlic mayonaise a large portion of freshly made was on the table in no time. The service... More

Had a lovely lunch here on Sunday; I went to Boscastle with my brother, sister-in-law and their little labradoodle (Ivy) for a day/afternoon out. We didn't want a full Sunday lunch and looked for somewhere "dog friendly". We have eaten at the Riverside before but this was the first time with a dog in tow and in fact it was... More

We stayed at The Riverside in early May 2013 and loved every minute. From the very warm welcome by Ross and his dry wit it started out very well. We were first introduced to Rattlers Cider and it got better from then on in. The food was amazing, two of our party had the crab salad, one had duck and... More

We ate here for dinner when staying, well what can I say the food is Brilliant, obviously all home cooked and prepared to order. I had the most amazing Crab salad ever, and the meringue with cornish cream and fresh berries was out of this world!!

Starters - excellent. Puddings - excellent main courses - not bad, but didn't live up to the starter and pudding. Efficient service. Not bad priced
