About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
Afternoon Tea at the Harbour Loft on St Michael’s Mount is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or complete a visit to this enchanting island. Head Chef Greg Milne has created a menu inspired by fresh Cornish produce to be enjoyed on our unique island setting, with sea views north and the backdrop of the castle to the south.

Precisely-cut sandwiches are accompanied by freshly-baked cakes and pastries; while traditional treats boast creative twists. Choose from an extensive selection of Tregothnan tea or add a little fizz with a glass of sparkling wine, produced in a Cornish vineyard just a stone’s throw from the Mount.

When you book, please see the website for information about how to access the island as it varies between walking a cobbled tidal causeway and booking a boat, depending on the tide: https://stmichaelsmount.co.uk/plan-your-visit/opening-times-2023-24/

Polite notice: our restaurant only serves Afternoon Tea and we do not take pre-payment.

    Went for the afternoon tea; the sandwiches were delicious, the desserts were, in our opinion, not very nice. The scones, cream and jam were nice but all in all we found the £37.50pp price tag excessive for what we got. The staff were fab, smiley, attentive and helpful. Although full, the restaurant lacked any buzz of atmosphere.

    I was disappointed with the quality of the gluten-free sweet treats, e.g. cakes were extremely small and the scone (one) certainly wasn’t home-made. It was chilled and dry. My husband had lovely warm home-made scones which he enjoyed but one of his cakes was a shop bought Madeleine that had been decorated. Very disappointing and by the time we paid for parking and the return boat fare, it was almost as much as Clarridges but not a patch on the quality or experience. Very disappointed. I would certainly not recommend.

    Desserts were way too sweet, overwhelming the taste of creative ingredients.

    Once again this has been a stand-out experience. We came this time last year and didn't think they could top this - but wow! Beautiful new fresh flavours, impeccable presentation and fabulous team serving us. Nothing was too much trouble - despite it being incredibly busy. Well worth the money with high quality ingredients and plenty of everything.

    The afternoon tea was delicious and challenged us to try different flavours. It was beautifully presented. The service was excellent. There was a great choice of teas- all grown in Cornwall.
