Me and my partner ate at Michelle's in August 2023. A cosy, family-run restaurant serving lovely food at a good price point. Booking in advance in essential, they are only open Thursday to Sunday and do a small number of covers each evening. It really is a small restaurant with an intimate vibe and it was lovely to be able to chat to the family who run the restaurant during and after the meal. The service on the whole was excellent and extremely friendly, particular shout out to the young lady who did a stellar job serving us. Now onto the food - we both opted for seafood (both for starter and main) and it was excellent. The crab bisque starter was absolutely packed with flavour and the mackerel pate was also very nice. No complaints there. For mains we both ordered the monkfish in a creamy sauce and the fish was cooked to absolute perfection, and an excellent sized portion for the price. The monkfish was presented in a very nice and refined way, although slightly at odds with the vegetables/sides which I would describe as more rustic. Regrettably, the truffle and parmesan chips we ordered were too dark on the outside (oil too hot/cooked too long) and I couldn't taste much truffle/parmesan. For dessert we both opted for affogato and unfortunately this just didn't really work. I'm not sure why but the ice cream was extremely hard and never really melted, possibly the freezer was too cold, or there is too much clotted cream in the recipe - shame as the taste was delicious. In terms of drinks, there is a good selection wines at very reasonable prices. On the whole, we had a lovely time. Not everything was perfect but the gripes were fairly minor, and I do believe this place has the potential to be truly outstanding if some of the rougher and more rustic edges are sanded off. I'd certainly return if we visit Polperro again.

Nice little restaurant in Polperro. We went on a Sunday when it only serves roasts. Service was great, very friendly Nice atmosphere. The roasts were huge, perhaps a little too huge tbh. I find such a big plate a little off putting but you certainly can't complain about portion sized. I would probably get the small roast next time.
