I had an incredible meal in a spacious setting. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. I'm replaying each dish in my mind to savor the exquisite flavors. I can’t wait to return, though I know it will be a rare treat since it’s not the cheapest option. If any positions become available for creating new dishes, I would be the first to apply!

What Christopher Mackenzie dislikes about Ugly Butterfly:
The ugly butterfly has gorgeous views over the bay, which at sunset are truly memorable. Important to request a table by the windows as the room is deep and sitting at the back isn’t the same (obviously). Sadly the uninspiring tasting menu and the frenetic service doesn’t match up. Certainly the restaurant was full but does that really justify the serving staff rushing around and not having time to answer questions a... View all feedback.

Another fabulous visit to The Ugly Butterfly. The staff without exception are friendly and welcoming and well informed. The food is outstanding, the best we have ever eaten. The tasting menu was divine and the chefs very happily adapt dishes to suit preferences/allergies. It is expensive but we can see why. A large team of experts spend many hours preparing delicious food. We were seated at the counter and it was a fabulous experience to watch the team in action. We live in Hampshire but specifically went to stay at the hotel to visit the restaurant again. Absolutely brilliant well done and thank you everyone.

Exceptional food and setting. Also good service and a nice choice of background music! I 've docked one star because some of the food was sold as local when in fact it wasn 't. E.g. most of the local cheeses were produced outside of Cornwall (mostly Somerset). That was disappointing. It would be nice to see this restaurant fully supporting the local Cornish economy. Otherwise excellent. Meal type: Lunch

I had an absolutely fantastic birthday dinner! The 7-course tasting menu was an incredible dining experience.

Had a very pleasant experience. They catered for lunch for 4, including two children. Would highly recommend this experience any and all. The Master Chef tasting lunch was excellent and a real variety from some very talented individuals. The drinks that were made for both the adults and the children were well thought out and enhanced our dining experience greatly. Well run and welcoming restaurant.

Sublime! Great service, amazing location fabulous food. One of Cornwall’s best restaurants, with a great ethos of zero food waste. We’ll be back that’s for sure.

We have been a couple of times now and it has always been amazing, the vegan menu is always exciting and such a comfortable atmosphere.
