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

Handy location for Porthmeor nearby, and nice to sit outside in the sun when you have it. I had the crab main on bruschetta. It was £17, and all you got was one piece of bruschetta with a smallish portion of crab on top and seafood sauce on top.. very disappointing. It was more like a starter and should have been about £12-13 max so way overpriced or double the portion size. Kids salad was just some chopped cherry tomatoes and cucumber £8 in a small plate. Way overpriced again. Quality of food was good though. Service was okay.

Amazing seafood restaurant, I would say the best in town. 😊 It is always full so it is better to make a reservation before visiting!

This was easily the best dinner we've had in St. Ives, and we've tried a lot of places! (I kind of started the burrata before taking the picture)

Myself & my partner stopped in here for a coffee and a toastie. The service was quite slow but the staff were very friendly and apologetic about this, taking the time to come to our table and explain the reasons for the slow service. As an apology, we were given two free coffees on the house. This wasn’t a necessary thing to do but it really showed how much the staff cared about their customers. The food was nice and coffee was delicious!

Disappointing stay We stayed in Room Eight & we booked a double room. The room was basement level and was tiny with low ceilings, smelled heavily of chemicals and later mold. We had to keep the windows open but unfortunately the one small window opened out onto a busy road. The road was meters away from the window and the cars go fast, so it was really noisy day and time The bath was narrow and not full length and weirdly sticky. Really disappointed with our stay as we'd read such lovely reviews and the pictures (which are of different rooms to ours) looked so nice .

Had a lovely early morning coffee and pastry, whilst on a walk around this area. Fabulous warm welcome, great coffee and lovely atmosphere.

Incredible food with an incredible view, absolutely faultless!

Wonderful visit again. Here for our annual visit and still as consistent as ever. This time we visited twice, midweek and for the sunday feast - and what a feast it was! From the moment you enter Sophie makes you feel right at home and explains the menu perfectly. Small and sharing plates means you can have a taste of everything. The music playlist is that good we asked for it. A must visit for us each time we are here and will be back next time. Thank you for a great experience. How hospitality should be. 10/10.

Lovely friendly cafe. Dog friendly too. Enjoyed a pot of tea, perfect for two and lunched on jacket potato with beef brisket topped with smoked cheddar and hubby had haddock pot which was tasty. Brilliant find.

Lovely little bar and eatery right in the harbour so perfect views Staff was very friendly and seemed happy to be there Got to try there cocktails there amazing flavors Little bit dearer for some items but that the price you pay for quality Popped back a few times whilst we stayed there last week

Excellent restaurant. Ate here twice whilst in St Ives and I had the seafood chowder both times as it was exceptional. Friendly staff, lovely views too.

Danish pastry completely sealed in plastic. It was really awful so checked packaging. They make them and seal them for a 3 day shelf life, so no fresh bakery produce here, you are as well with a mass-produced supermarket one. Checking the ingredients, they aren't even Danish pastry ingredients. The "superdough" part of the ingredients was just a chemical filled anomaly of things that shouldn't be there. That is not a Danish Pastry. And why all those unnecessary ingredients in the icing? Icing sugar and water would suffice. Interestingly, there is no flour listed on the ingredients for the superdough so I doubt it is a legal list. That is quite a serious omission! I attach a photo of the ingredients list. Philps comment is that they do mention flour later under possible allergens

A St Ives institution, with a table for two in a cosy corner on a Wednesday evening in February. The restaurant was busy, service was friendly and the menu offered lots of choice. We opted for starters of Cornish scallops pan fried and with Cornish sausage and apple coulis and Prawn Cocktail with a generous portion of prawns in a tangy Marie Rose sauce. I’m almost ashamed to say I then went for filet steak which was cooked to perfection whilst my husband had the fish platter - grilled seabass with a hint of balsamic, tiger prawns and scallop cooked in garlic butter, grilled lemon sole and beer-battered cod - all fresh and totally enjoyed. We shared a sticky toffee pudding which was light, had plenty of toffee sauce and was served with clotted cream - what else! Super meal.

Great freshly cooked gf fish and chips no preordering required we just took our place in queue. Fish in gf batter really crispy both cod and haddock excellent. Chips fine would recommend

Lovely food and lovely workers. Nicest pasties in Cornwall
