Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The most wonderful evening for my partners birthday. The mussels and scallops were incredible, and the unlimited bread… Fantastic! The sauce the mussels were served in was that good, that myself and my partner soaked up the entire bowl with said bread! We will definitely be back very soon for another evening of incredible seafood and wine. Alexia and Lorna were the bubbliest, most kind, and chatty ladies we could have hoped to meet. What a great spot! Thankyou again :)"
"The bar was small and intimate, lighting was perfect for a lil date night. The music was soft and not too loud. Food was absolutely excellent and the staff were so lovely and kind. I will absolutely come back every time we visit. We had the scallops and the mussels. Highly recommend!"
"OHHH MYYY DAYYYS. My wife found the restaurant on Instagram. Would definitely recommend,food was uhhh unreal and the service was amazing."
"If you love seafood as we do, you really must book a table here. Not the easiest place to find, so let's call it a hidden gem! The only downside to the Fish Cabin is it's seventy six miles away from our home. If it were nearer, we would have a table reserved every week. Truly amazing food, dog friendly, and staff to die for.. Thank you x"
"Definitely the best fish restaurant in Falmouth. Dishes were cooked beautifully and the flavours were amazing. The Sole Veronique was truly melt in your mouth quality!"
"Had such a good evening here! Me and my friend let them know in advance about our dietary requirements (gluten/dairy intolerance and vegetarian) and The Fish Cabin went above and beyond to cater for us. I had a spectacular pasta dish and a bread and oil starter (which pleased me in a way that no man ever has!) and my friend had a beautifully cooked octopus and seafood bisque. We would absolutely come back, the service was impeccable and atmosphere was perfect! Thank you so much for such a great evening!!"
"Great atmosphere and amazing food! Fresh and sustainable fish from Cornwall. The service is professional and friendly. Delighted to have spent our last night in Falmouth here. Highly recommend!"
"Came in without a reservation and was seated right away. Jonathan, my waiter, provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients. I ordered the seafood platter, and was able to make addendums and modifications based on fish I preferred or wanted to try, without any change in price. Anyone in the Penryn-Falmouth area with a penchant for seafood definitely owes it to themselves to have dinner here."
