The best restaurants in St Ives North Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

I wish I lived in St Ives so I could eat here every week. What a little gem. Such friendly staff and the food is great. The ham and cheese toastie was so big we had to share it! Thank you so much. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Poor quality sandwich, more bread than filling, and the price did not reflect what was served. Friendly staff but would not recommend a visit.

Brilliant service, great selection of flavours. Very generous scoop sizes. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting

The menu promised a nice selection - but having gone for Rose Bubble tea, unfortunately the shop didn’t have tapioca so it was fruit bubbles only. This was not a bubble tea and tasted more like fruit squash with the fruit bubbles in. It tasted nothing like Rose. At £3.45 for the standard size, it was also not cheap. Perhaps I’m more used to the standard of Bubble Tea in London which is generally at least an 8/10... unfortunately I couldn’t even rate the standard of this ‘bubble tea’ and threw it away after the first few sips. 0/10.

Popinns Room was very nice the staff were excellent and friendly we enjoyed the coffee and Sandwich we were pleased to call in

So glad we found this restaurant for lunch today. We had mussels and the Cornish scallops to start followed by sea bream and the red gurnard, all were fantastic as was the wine. It is very easy to miss the entrance, but really glad we found it. Highly recommend and will definitely be back if we return to St Ives in the future.

Delicious coffee and pastries and friendly customer service.

Food was fantastic I came back 2 days in a row. And the portions are ABSOLUTELY GIGANTIC! . The cashier was very kind and the food was served very quickly. I highly recommend. I will be back soon!

We have tried Moomaid of Zennor ice cream before and we were not impressed but today at Porthtowan there was no other ice cream on offer so we thought we would try a different flavour. We both had espresso martini. We expected it to taste of coffee at least but it was pretty flavourless and not at all creamy. That was the last time will will buy Moomaid of Zennor.

We have come to Cornwall for a seafood eating weekend, and this was our first restaurant, then Argue, Newlyn and hook on the rocks, Falmouth. We were not disappointed. Delicious food. Lovely evening.

Excellent little micropub tucked away of the seafront. Serves a range of cask and keg beers.

We visit St Ives usually at least twice a year and yet somehow not managed to come to this place before. Why? Because usually it’s full of customers! This time we managed to secure a table and chairs on the front which made for a great spot to enjoy some drinks.

We stumbled on this quaint cafe and decided to pop in for some scones. Scones were average. Good place to take a break from walking.

We visited twice and voted it our best beach vibe in St Ives. Even after a long season the staff were great. We had greek food twice and it was delicious and very authentic. We were lucky to get there as Beach west was closing for the winter but definitely worth visiting in 2025!

The place was nice, but rude service. Never more!
