The Longstore Lemon Street - Truro

The D. O. W.

It's of huge significance to me, revisiting the last place myself and my late wife visited for our 20th wedding anniversary. To celebrate my twin boys 18th Birthday, and enjoy their first legal beer was truly fitting and a great occasion.
The pork belly was absolutely superb, the beef ragu and the surf and turf equally as excellent. The doughnuts which two teenage men devoured with ease was the perfect meal to create a new, lasting memory. Service excellent, and the price was on par for the meal.
First ale for the lads on the house too was an added bonus. Many thanks!

We had an amazing experience at the longhorn. My partner and I were visiting Cornwall as he’s originally from Truro so we came down to revisit places that were significant to his upbringing.
After a full day of walking around and taking in everything Truro has to offer we were very much so looking forward to our reservation at the longhorn, we are big steak eaters so for us this restaurant was the most important one of our holiday.

From the minute we walked in the service was spectacular, casual yet professional which is exactly what we love.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean and very well decorated.

We started with cocktails, as a former bartender who worked in Michelin plated restaurants, I can be fussy. The cocktail menu read well and from the first sip they had me locked in. It was the perfect apéritif.

Starters we shared scallops. They were spectacular, portion sizes were spot on and we were looking forward to what we had to come.

The star of the show, we both ordered the fillet steaks and shared a side of grilled truffle mac & cheese and confit garlic and smoked butter mash.
I have no words, the steaks were cooked perfectly, I ordered mine rare, my partners was medium rare, they were cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths. The mac & cheese was the best we’ve ever had.

Desserts we shared tiramisu and ricotta doughnuts, again flawless, The Longstore served us the best meal we’ve ever had, everything was exactly to our taste

Huge thank you to the chefs and staff at The Longstore for giving us such an exceptional dinner and creating a magical memory we can fondly look back on from our visit to Cornwall.

We will most definitely be returning!

I've discovered the place by mistake but it was the best mistake ever. From outside it looked cozy, warm and chill, perfect for a date. I went in and we had the best date, with incredible delicious food and amazing cocktails. The staff was very friendly and committed, they helped with the table we wanted, made great recommendations and took care of us for the entire date. We will definitely come back a few more times.

It was a last-minute decision to have lunch at The Longstore in Truro as the original restaurant we booked cancelled on us an hour before due to a problem with their gas line. Friends recommended The Longstore (with one of them giving a glowing recommendation for their burger, which my husband had) and we decided to make a reservation 30 minutes before we were led to our table. Mentioned on the reservation that it was my birthday and was given a complimentary glass of Prosecco! Service provided was good and attentive, and the food was very very good with generous portions - the chunk of Pastrami (it was that generous!) in the burger was delicious, the salsa verde as a dressing of the belly pork I ordered was very tasty (I had 2 slices of belly pork!), and my side of truffle macaroni & cheese was a revelation. My husband could not give a better recommendation - we will definitely be coming here again!"

Amazing food! And inside was very nicely decorated with warm and cosy Christmas vibes… only downfall was the service!! Esp as this was a birthday meal - they were made aware of this but chose to ignore it which I haven’t had at a restaurant before? Two brunette girls were especially moody even when given an undeserved tip 😐 This doesn’t include the American waitress who served us nicely.

Enjoyed a quick mid-week lunch. Tasty food, great portions, pleasant atmosphere and fast & friendly service. Just the ticket!

Great food. The price matches the quality I would say. But if you want 'bang for buck' avoid the seafood/fish dishes. It's expectantly lite but similarly priced to the other options. I shared some of my pork belly with my seafood obsessed partner. If we'd both paid for fish meals we would have been disappointed. If she hadn't chosen a fish deal I would have been in trouble finishing all of mine!

Either a price reduction or quantity change is needed for seafood.

The cocktails are excellent.

*The knife in my photo is deceptive. It was larger than the usual knife and makes the dish look smaller than it was.

I only marked it 4 for atmosphere as we were by the front door and it was an oddly cold day for this time in March.

The staff and setting couldn't bee faulted.
