Brilliant place to go for evening dinner. Delicious Indonesian flavours, superbly cooked. Chef is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Staff are lovely. Our best meal anywhere for a long time. Delicate flavours, cooked to perfection, presented beautifully. Highly recommend.

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.

A special “hidden” gem with a secret courtyard garden dining area. Great home made food, lovely atmosphere with helpful, friendly staff. It’s very easy to miss it from the roadside. Look out for the little blackboards, else you would think it’s just a B&B.

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.

Delicious food (we had crab sandwich, crab frittata and crab rarebit!), really kind staff, and a lovely atmosphere inside. My dog was welcomed and the staff kindly sat us in a quieter room for her benefit. Highly recommended, would visit again!

We were unexpectedly blown-away by the food at this delightful, unassuming restaurant. The menu is 'world fusion' and everything we had was creatively conceived and expertly executed. The Thai chicken curry was one of the finest I've enjoyed. Great cocktails too especially my frozen margarita. The small courtyard garden is a pretty haven, and everyone was super friendly and welcoming, including to our dog. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the South West.

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.

The four of us only had main meals, desert and afogatos. The Greek style slow cooked lamb was fantastic and provided a real “comfort food” experience. The Thai Yellow fish/seafood curry was also a hit. Service was very friendly. I’d not hesitate to go here again. We had the “study” room which provided a quiet and intimate dining experience.

Remarkably good. Was uncertain if one kitchen could deliver on such a diverse menu but they did - excellent dishes all round and even the Italian in our group was happy with the pasta. Chef was very reassuring when I was unsure if my dish was vegan (to the point of showing me the vegan fish sauce brand they use!) Cocktails also great. Wait staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

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.
