Restaurant is a hidden gem
Truro Cathedral Coffee Shop and Restaurant is a stylish hidden gem at the heart of the city.
The Restaurant has a burgeoning reputation as a meeting place for friends who enjoy coffee and a chat as well as a location for tasty and delicious lunchtime snacks. Whatever your reason for visiting us, you won't be disappointed.
"I would like to say how much my small party enjoyed our dinner in the Chapter House after the Choir's superb concert last Saturday evening. I must say, since the refurbishment, meals in the Chapter House have become really quite a treat. I enjoy lunch there every few weeks; the tomato soup I had back in May was one of the tastiest of that variety I can remember ever having.
Last Saturday's dinner was beautifully presented, with an interesting menu, civilised portions, a wonderful sunny setting and it was good to have wine available. I am also a glutton for little pots of chocolate!
My thanks to all the staff, who are invariably cheerful and welcoming whenever I visit. It must be a good place to work!"
