Coconut curry mussels appear as a recurring plate alongside sea bass nicoise, fillet steak, pork belly, and lemon posset for dessert.

“Restaurant 50 is our new favourite restaurant in Looe! We visited recently with our Canadian friends and wanted to take them somewhere special - and Restaurant 50 certainly delivered. Great food, great atmosphere! Special mention to Colleen who looked after us - very attentive and helpful - a real credit to the business. The whole experience was fabulous, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to take our friends. We hope to return again soon!”

“We have visited many of the great restaurants in Looe but in our opinion 50 is by far the best. Not only for the food which is absolutely delicious, but also for the ambience and genuine friendly welcome. We consider the restaurant to be perfect for couples and small groups. It feels special to celebrate occasions. I was celebrating my birthday and had a wonderful evening We found staff to be friendly and attentive without being pushy. We would definitely recommend this restaurant but book in advance as it is popular.”

“We had our first meal at 50 on the 30/5/26. They had to cancel due to the chef being taken to hospital. They re- booked us the following day. Recce had call and informed us and his communication was brilliant. We had a glass of red wine as an apology for the cancellation, the wine was amazing. We had the fillet steak and the chicken main course and I can honestly say the steak was as good as it gets and the chicken too. The staff themselves where brilliant and attentive, brilliant members of staff a real credit to this restaurant. It's the best restaurant in the area and I highly recommend, will be returning very shortly.”

“Lovely restaurant, just not really wow food. Mackerel was nice but the pork belly looked displeasing on the plate and it was very hard to cut. Had to ask for a steak knife which I was surprised they didn't offer to begin with. Urge you to check the bill as they put large wines on, even though I only had small and they added an extra beer. They corrected once I pointed it out but I saw a lot of other patrons who didnt check their bill...”

“My friend and me went for lunch today and the food was delicious! There’s a good selection of drinks and we shared a lemon posset for dessert. We both had the sea bass nicoise, the sea bass was cooked to perfection and the service by Louise was great she was friendly and attentive. We will definitely visit again when we are down.”

Customer Review Summary
Mussels draw the most praise at Fifty, with reviewers calling the plump, plentiful mussels and the coconut curry version the finest they have tasted. Close behind are the steak, described as so soft it could be cut with a spoon, and the sea bass nicoise, scallops and mackerel. Desserts also earn mentions, including a lemon posset and a chocolate special, and one reviewer with coeliac disease describes a crab sandwich on gluten free bread and an owner who understands keeping food safe. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the room is described as cosy and welcoming. Not every plate landed. One reviewer found the pork belly very hard to cut and had to ask for a steak knife, and another found the beef in a pork and beef trio overpowering and the pork slightly dry. Two mention a fairly steep price, and several say to book in advance. One reviewer says large wines and an extra beer were added to the bill, corrected once pointed out. After a cancellation when the chef was taken to hospital, one party was rebooked the next day and given a glass of red wine as an apology.
