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.

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.

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

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

Way overpriced for 2 steaks £30 each with garlic butter. £6:50 for a small bottle of cider! Won’t be returning

Delicious coffee and pastries and friendly customer service.

WOW…a little gem. Best fritto misto and steak frittes in St.Ives. Cooked perfectly. Not to mention the amazing crab sandwiches loaded with crab (lots of white crab meat and not the horrible brown stuff). Warm, welcoming service. I’ll 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.

Hidden at the back of a bin filled alley, this is a perfect spot to get some time back away from the bustle of the sea front. Super ale straight out the keg!

Amazing little special place for cocktail heaven. Amazing vibe, great drinks and atmosphere. Highly recommended

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!

Amazing views over the beach, and the food is excellent, as it looks and feels like a beach café, i was expecting the usual fish and chips or sandwiches. But in actuality it's a finely crafted menu with excellent flavours. Highly reccomended.

The staff are so lovely and dog friendly. The food is another level; the flavours and clever combinations are very impressive. Then we get to the drinks, amazing local beers, great wine and the long cocktail we had ‘Silco Collins’ was so good!! So happy we found Silco! We’ll definitely be back, a proper hidden gem!!
