beautiful food, excellent views, atmosphere? but then again does a good restaurant need atmosphere? or does it need a bit of a stiff upper lip to be proper and get in the books.

Favorite Dish: pigeon breast. the first time ive had it. pigeon breast i mean.
very good, very much like chicken!

Taking off from Tresco heliport

The best way to reach Tresco is on a helicopter direct from Penzance - thus avoiding the main island, St Mary's. The twenty minute flight takes you along the the south-west tip of Britain and out over the Atlantic before touching down on Scilly's second-largest island.

A tad pricey, but an experience in itself - and well worth it for the views.
