One of our favourite little restaurants for an intimate dinner for two. The food is perfectly cooked every time and the few staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The wine selection is good too.
There is not much else I can say as there is nothing to fault here.

Came here with my boyfriend for a dinner during the bank holiday weekend. It seemed abnormally quiet as did the whole of Penzance this bank holiday! Very odd and the hosts agreed it wasn?t the usual experience.The food was unpretentious and absolutely delicious. There was even an unexpected complimentary palette cleanser of a homemade rosemary sorbet between the starters and main course. The hosts were extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions about produce (all local), and explained that all food including ice creams and sorbets and things that would normally be bought in are all made absolutely fresh on the premises, and you could taste it. They were charming and welcoming, unbelievably attentive and made you feel like a regular, and to boot we had some great conversation with them. The decor is also classic, charming and the restaurant has a very cosy and intimate bistro feel.The experience was honestly really really special and left you able to feel the sense of pride that the owners feel and put into this lovely establishment. A testament to itself that it?s been open since the 70s, which is a true rarity in the restaurant industry. We would recommend to anyone to support this wonderful local business and will absolutely be returning.

We always look forward to our trips to Harris's. Lovely food, welcoming hosts and an intimate atmosphere. We love the smoked salmon and crab cornets. We are already looking for an excuse to go again.

Unacceptable behaviour , very rude and unprofessional, they didn?t even want us to book, not sure why the business is open, my wife asked for availability and was rudely told not accepting any bookings at the moment by the old weird owner, who kept looking at my younger daughters up and down , luckily the restaurant next door was opened and we managed to save our evening with a lovely family run place. Stay clear!!!

Something of a Penzance Tradition having been in business for at least 40yrs, run chef Roger Harris with his wife running the front of house.Not a massive menu and centred around seafood, everything is beautifully cooked by Roger in a traditional French style.The restaurant is small and intimate with decor that has never changed but this is great as you always know what you are going to get.Great food and friendly efficient service, never had a bad meal in 30yrs somewhere you can always rely on.

Vegetarian options: Not great for vegetarian but excellent fish options.

We came to Harris's during our weekend stay in Penzance. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the terrine starter & scallops. The fillet steak (cooked to perfection) and the lobster, followed by the chocolate tarte and lemon soufflé. Thoroughly enjoyed the Thyme sorbet pallet cleanser (I would have ordered more if it was a menu option!). The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend the Amaretto too, it was delicious. Would definitely eat here again. Excellent food, without being pretentious.

We come down to Penzance at least 3 times per year to our holiday bungalow at Kenegie Manor. This year saw our 50th wedding anniversary and as a present my brother treated us to dinner at Harris's. Tucked down a side street (New Street) off Market Jew Street we have never previously noticed this establishment.The front of house staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable.For starters we had Cornets of smoked salmon with fresh Newlyn white crab meet followed by grilled fillet steak with bearnaise sauce (me) and Roast monkfish on saffron risotto. We finished the meal with creme brulee. All dishes were beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Surprisingly the sauté potatoes accompanying the main meal were fantastic. It was a wonderful meal to celebrate our anniversary. We will be back next time we are down.

We had dinner at Harris's while visiting from London. The restaurant is wonderful in so many ways. The food is superb (especially the crab salad entrée and the desserts); the staff are lovely; and the restaurant is beautifully quaint, particularly because it seats only a small number of tables. I strongly recommend it!
