Little Palais in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Exceptional coffee and truly unique Ice cream - A must try!

Exceptional cocktails - loved the waxed tequila (negroni twist)

Lovely ice cream for those in the know. You really have to find gems like this when you visit tourist places.

Their brown bread ice cream is a total joy! Best ice cream I’ve ever had.

Gorgeous cocktail bar with a wonderful wine list, and great snacks. The ice cream was particularly delicious.

Beautiful little bar, a hidden gem, super lovely staff, great music, great wine, and great food! If you’re in need of some respite definitely head up the steps for a drink and nibbles.

Fantastic little cocktail bar. Tried nearly all the cocktails and each one surpassed the last. Welcoming and stylish place to enjoy a drink and some of the best cocktails I’ve had in years.

6✴️ establishment. A petite but beautifully formed "small plate" wine bar. Now moved to harbour side upstairs premises. Try from their selection of natural wines that have had minimal processing and burst with flavour. The charcuterie is succulent and very tasty. Also, a good selection of cheese and artisan crackers to go with the wines. The Hazelnut ice cream "Is to live eternally for!!" Funky background music is a joy Very friendly and considerate service, thank you!

Welcoming, stylish and inviting bar with impeccable food and drink.

Great quality food, great beers and lovely atmosphere, staff also very helpful and attentive.

Cocktails not cheap . Believe it , save your money , cheaper elsewhere

Loved this gem of a place! Excellent service, staff were really attentive and you could tell they are passionate about the food and drink they serve. Would highly recommend the calamari in ragout and the brown bread ice cream.

Fantastic service with really knowledgable staff. Beautiful wine selection and funky music. Beautiful spot overlooking the harbour.

Fabulous place. Great service, knowledgeable staff and unique cocktails - must try their homemade gin with homemade tonic. Date vibes with nice couple tables by the window with a view, sharing plates and plenty of wine choice. Recommended!

Really tasty food great atmosphere

Fantastic must visit space……amazing service, great drinks in a stunning harbour side venue!

Great wine and food to match, if you get there early and get a seat by the window you get unparalleled views of the bay.

Great vegetarian food and very friendly service.

This is a wonderful place with attentive and very professional staff who clearly share a passion for the produce and the selection of organic wines. Delicious tapas style small plates and wonderful wine (which is also available by the bottle to take away) make this a great fine. Views of the harbour are the cream on the cake. Highly recommended

Delicious food, perfect drinks, my favourite was the tequila negroni! Kind and informative staff/owners, and the view was stunning!!!!

Lovely atmosphere, amazing music, great wine and friendly staff.

A little piece of perfection at the harbour in St Ives. A beautifully curated natural / organic wine list with some amazing fine ciders to boot. The team are knowledgeable, passionate and very very welcoming. We loved watching the sunset over the harbour whilst eating from the small plates menu, washed down with an amazing still cider from Wildings. This was soundtracked with a great playlist and will go down as one of our favourite moments on our visit to St Ives. We'll definitely be back!

Visited here this week, gorgeous little place staff very welcoming & the food was divine,

What a lovely spot to have pre-dinner drinks and some tapas. We have the Crab Rarebit and it was one of my favorite things I have eaten since being at St. Ives! Highly recommend trying that.

Stopped by for some superb cocktails, wonderfully chic vibe. One of the best places we visited in St. Ives

Next level. Do yourselves a favour and read everyone else’s review - what a hidden gem. We even got to watch an RNLI launch

We stumbled upon this place by accident on the first day of our visit to St Ives. Since then we have returned a further two times within 4 days. This is a gem of a place, well worth a visit. It is an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the waterfront. The interiors are cosy, well designed and the sash windows look out across the harbour into the endless horizon. The lighting and music are set to perfection and the service is outstanding. The team’s passion for the food and drink they serve shines through. This passion is well placed, you will struggle to find better cocktails ANYWHERE! And the food is deceptive by its simplicity. The focus is on sourcing great ingredients and putting them together creatively to deliver beautiful flavours. Highlights from our visits were the service, the fantastic wines, G&T with fig tonic (delicious), the Crab Rarebit, an outstanding tomato salad (the best I’ve had outside of Italy), delicious bread and butter and the incredible brown bread ice cream. If we lived locally, we would be regulars. Highly recommend!

Very unique bar / restaurant venue. Everything on the menu is different. I tried both the gins with the crab rarebit. I recommend!!

Amazing service, great views, delicious drinks and food- definitely recommend!

Great selection of drinks and awesome staff. Totally recommend. ☺️

Very disappointed my wife and I are not welcome due to the fact we would have liked to bring our three month old daughter. I explained that we would have her in a baby carrier so no pram but the answer remained no

Like others have said, a gem of a place. The LP gin and fig tonic was one of the best g&t's I've had. We also had the Steve Madden which was refreshing and summery. The waitress was really friendly. Would highly recommend

Had to give a low score because not only do they take a service charge they also take a corkage fee of £8.50 (without telling you) even though you buy the wine from them. Having said that, nice wine selection, great sound system and uber cool.

What a lovely find! Such a quaint, welcoming bar with a great wine selection and lovely food. Thank you so much for a lovely apero!

Delicious cocktails. Great service

Always a reliable cocktail and a great vibe to go with it!

Such a lovely and welcoming place. Great selection of wines, really well-thought cocktails, and the nicest staff. I would go there every week.

Pre dinner drinks and snacks. Lovely place and lovely interesting owners. First time trying orange wine which I enjoyed. My husband is a huge fan of the g&t.

Just an utterly perfect little spot.

Unique! Don't miss out on this gem!

So happy we walked by this place. It is a gem! It’s quite small, cozy. We may have visited two times in one week. It’s that good. The cocktails are creative and expertly crafted. The tequila negroni was delicious. And I love the giant ice cube. The wine list has some interesting and unique wines. The owner is very helpful with his descriptions and can guide you to a wine you’ll love. The food is what I loved. The ice cream sandwiches are just amazing. A scoop of housemade ice cream on a warm slight toasted brioche bun. Yes!! The Parmesan ice cream was so good. A bit like a cheesecake center but with the salty Parmesan flavor. The charcuterie options were all savory and flavorful. I loved the garlic capers sprinkled on top. The duck sausage was quite tender and nicely spiced. The French cheeses and especially the butter were wonderful. And nice portions (easy to share). I enjoyed all three types of crackers served with the cheese. Nothing I had had before and all good. This was my favorite meal in Cornwall and I would love to go back again.

We have been numerous times and the detail and quality Jess and Richard deliver is something to be proud off. Thank you and see you again soon. Nick and Sarah 😃👍🍷🍸

Lovely cozy atmosphere, intimate without feeling at all cramped. Staff were very attentive and kind, and the cocktails were insanely good! Prices more than fair for quality provided. Lovely little place to stop for an evening drink

We had an amazing time at Little Palais. The owner couldn't have been more knowledgeable and helpful in helping is choose our drinks.

This is a real gem. As its name suggests, it's tiny, with room for maybe 10 people. There wasn't space for us initially but they took my phone number and rang as soon as there was room for us. The cocktails are fabulous and the plates looked and sounded great; we'd already eaten so didn't try the plates but hopefully next time.

Visited here few times during our visit and loved it. An intimate atmosphere with the discerning owners guiding us through the drinks and food menu with great care. Highly recommended. X

Fantastic little gem in St Ives. Echo all the reviews below.

We had a really fun time at Little Palais, and found the wines to be both amazing and like nothing we’d ever tried. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and makes picking something you’ll like easy if you don’t know anything about wine. So much thought and good taste has gone into everything here, and it makes for such a special experience. The selection of bar snacks is really excellent too - we had the spicy mackerel pate with hot buttery crispy bread, it was perfect. Our favourite wine was the sparkling one we tried based on the owner’s recommendation. Perfect afternoon and evening, thank you!

Cannot recommend this little bar highly enough! Great wines including a selection of sustainable and low intervention wines, small plates of bread, cheeses and charcuterie, good music from some awesome vintage speakers. Nice to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Chill, urbane slice of sophistication, different from its surroundings in the best possible way. Excellent staff and my partner's G&T was "the best I've ever had"!

Great little place, high quality wines and cocktails and a great choice of small plates - the sourdough bread from Coombeshead was fantastic! Small but perfectly formed

If you like good wines and great service and something different Please visit this unique store

With every restaurant in St. Ives booked for months in advance, the fact that this place is solely walk-ins saved our lives two nights in a row. The cocktails are the best I’ve ever had, I don’t say that lightly either, the care and attention to detail that goes into them is out of this world. The service and atmosphere are impeccable, the wine curation is down to a fine art, and the food is absolutely delightful. We ate a full dinner here on both nights, and I do not think we could have done better if we were the only customers in town.

Little hidden gem. Beautiful wine, lovely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended!

Can highly recommend their negroni and g&t. Lovely staff and drinks in a small space.

A proper little find, a wonderful evening spent out on the bench (due to COVID restrictions). The food is excellent and real thought and love has gone into their selections of drinks. The service was exactly what we love, friendly, knowledgable and relaxed. Can’t fault it!

Such an amazing spot. Richard and Jess were so welcoming and had so much knowledge on the sensational cocktails they create and the wine they sell. The hot gin tea was a personal favourite. If you are in st ives this place is a must. Such a chilled vibe with outstanding but relaxed service!

Great little find in St Ives. All the cocktails are amazing and particularly like their Brooklyn, which might be the best I’ve had. Worth the wait for a table.

Such an exceptional and welcoming bar we absolutely love it. A welcome quiet spot in a busy St Ives, we are locals so it is especially nice for us, but equally great for tourists for pre or post dinner drinks. Jess & Rich’s knowledge is out of this world and they make us feel very special every time we go in. They have made family occasions special with personally tailored drinks and the food offering is of such great quality. It’s only small and family run, so any unfair reviews in my opinion should be taken with a pinch of salt, if you can get in to this three table beauty of a bar, take it as a compliment to the business and support them in these hard times. Well worth the visit, by far our favourite place it St Ives.

Superb bijou wine bar. Jess and Rich really know their wine and offer perfect service. We sampled some superb natural wines and also tried their wonderful cheese selections. Really liked the vibe here, with cool music too. We agree with a previous reviewer - this a hidden gem and proves that small really is beautiful! Thanks 🙏 PS try their innovative cocktails too!!

Lovely service, lovely people, lovely place. Splendidly lovely.

Loved visiting Little Palais! Wonderful wine selection and wonderfully classic cocktails with a house twist (the gin and house-made-tonic of particular note). Snacks were plentiful as well, with perfect cheese and charcuterie boards 🥰

Had a fantastic time at Little Palais. A true neighbourhood wine bar with a great list of interesting and well priced wines alongside great bar snacks. Their batch made cocktails are a highlight as well - especially the house twist on a G n’ T and the dangerously easy to sip ‘Modified Manhattan’. Service was also great, hard to do in a small area, but we felt looked after and left with a list of recommendations for the remainder of our trip.

Lovely little bar, friendly knowledgeable staff, very happy to have stumbled across it.

Terrific place, great drinks selection and lovely friendly staff. On a quiet back street, so it’s away from the main tourist drag too. Highly recommend stopping here if you can 🙂

My favourite place I found in St Ives. Great cocktails, wine list, and small plates. Comfortable place to stop by for just a glass, or for a light dinner and a shared bottle.

Absolutely delicious small plates wine bar! Expert staff recommendations for cheese, meat and wine pairings. We had a brilliant time in this minimal v. on trend 3-table hidden gem. Will definitely be back to try the cocktails that the table next to us had.

Just perfect in every way.. love, care and attention to detail in everything they do... recommend the espresso vodka, their take on a G&T and actually pretty much the whole cocktail menu

Amazing find! Perfect for something different. Some innovative cocktails & attentive and caring staff. A hidden gem.

Great cocktails and best ray of sunshine in our grey Cornish day!

This is a brilliant little getaway from the hustle and bustle of St Ives. The service and owners were amazing, filling us in with loads of little bits of info and their expertise, while surrounded by a great atmosphere within. Definitely worth stopping by when in St Ives!

Gorgeous wine bar (with added cheese and charcuterie and devine house cocktails). Excellent service and a calm space away from the crowds on the harbour front.
