Delightful service, delicious food and a great atmosphere! We stumbled upon this restaurant and what an encounter. The last table was left which we were lucky enough to grab - book to avoid disappointment - it is a must especially if you love steak and fresh fish!

Interesting collection of buildings from Egyptian house to traditional pubs and over-the-top Admiral Benbow. Food on the street was excellent.

The nicest street in Penzance. Unusual shops - not the run of the mill High Street. The Egyptian House certainly stands out.

This is a beautiful street to walk down and look at the variety of stores, pubs and places to eat. It has a lovely history and does feel like you step back in time. If you are visiting, it is worth reading up about the history before you go so you can pick out places of interest (of which there... More

Love this street for its variety of antiques and art, furniture shop, brickabrack, and the turks head pub. The antique shop at the top of this street is three floors of all sorts of collectables, allow at least 2 hours to really browse this one

Wow - the best part of Penzance with all kinds of cages, independent shops, restaurants, galleries, boutique hotels. Shame the Arts Club has gone but the Artists Residence is starting to fill the gap

Chapel street has a variety of B & Bs, shops, bars, pubs, cafe's and galleries to visit. It has a quirky and original charm of days gone by, with some points of historical interest and buildings. I have been to Chapel Street many times and would definately recommend it.

It is worth taking a stroll down Chapel street. Easily missed if you are just wandering around Penzance without a map. Get the free town trail guide from the tourist office. Some of the nicer pubs are on this street (The Union, Turks Head, and Dolphin), as well as the bizzare Egyptian House.

Same as any other street really. Few shops & the Egyptian House that some rave about. Looks unusual-but nothing to do inside - apart from a teeny tiny little soap shop inside, & flats for let up stairs.
