Saffron - Truro

Excellent local produce prepared with skill. We had smoked duck salad which was served with a tasty berry coulis and fried potato shavings, a brilliant combo. Also the lamb nicely cooked with a cous cous and rich jus. Super yummy.

Saffron is probably my favourite restaurant in the world, and definitely the best my adopted hometown has to offer! I try to make it to Saffron at least once every visit 'home ' since discovering it in 2005, and I 've never been disappointed by the quality of the food yet. The ingredients are delicious and everything is prepared perfectly, from the very simple piri piri chips up to the more exotic fare. The fact that Saffron uses local products as much as possible means not only that everything is terrifically fresh, but also that Saffron changes its menu frequently every time I 've been, it 's been a completely different menu! The drinks menu (both alcoholic and non) is also great, and showcases some more of Cornwall 's specialties. The staff is excellent; they 're warm and welcoming and very accommodating of people 's physical needs and tastes. All in all, Saffron is a wonderful place with a wonderful atmosphere and INCREDIBLE food. Go already!

It's fine, but never excites me. Competent and good value.

I have been here once and won't hurry back, personally. Saffron prides itself on being different and it certainly is, the food for me is a little pretencious and overpriced and the service was a bit surly. Not a place I'd really recommend but I'm sure people must like it as it's been there for years and seems popular!

Superb standards and excellent locally sourced food.
