St Mawes Dining

Each day begins in our bakery, where the aroma of warm pastries, artisan breads and freshly brewed coffee welcomes both guests and locals alike.

Designed as a relaxed gathering place at the heart of Elysium, the bakery offers handcrafted pastries, breakfast favourites, seasonal bakes and expertly prepared coffee throughout the morning. Whether you’re heading out to explore the Roseland Peninsula or enjoying a slow start overlooking the harbour, it’s the perfect place to begin your day.

Our bakery reflects the simple pleasures of coastal living — quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation and a warm welcome.

As daylight fades, Elysium transitions into an intimate wine bar designed for relaxed evenings and memorable conversations.

Showcasing a carefully curated collection of wines from celebrated regions and emerging producers, our wine list has been selected to complement the restaurant’s Mediterranean-inspired menu while offering guests the opportunity to discover something new.

Enjoy a glass on the terrace overlooking the harbour, pair your wine with seasonal sharing plates, or settle in for an evening that stretches long into the night.

Elegant yet unpretentious, the wine bar embodies the laid-back sophistication that defines Elysium St Mawes.
