Small restaurant at the end of town with a spanish tapas feel to it. The menu is pretty varied and…read moreincludes tapas, fajitas and chicken rice dishes. I can't put my finger on it but there's nothing here that really stands out, the place is a bit disjointed and the service is so so. The main meals don't include veg or chips etc which need to be ordered extra and odd things such as the fajitas including asparagus put us off. It has gone through a refit recently and we've not been in since so can't say what has changed.

Really pleasant restaurant overlooking the scenic beach. I came in for dinner and had excellent…read morefish & chips. My very kind server had a large table of twelve jolly regulars to deal with (and from their chatter it was clear that they come here for celebrations, which is telling) but I was never ignored. I had flourless chocolate torte for dessert with a gigantic dollop of the smoothest clotted cream I've ever had. They're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a takout window facing the beach. And although they have quite a bit of outdoor seating, the generously-windowed dining rooms are where it's at.

Very fresh, creative, great flavors. This is the place to come for your vegetables; they do a great job with them, nothing over cooked, and have super variety. Also, we got lucky walking in at 6:00 without a reservation, and had to be done by 7:30. So, get a booking in advance if possible. Highly recommended.

Porthminster Kitchen is lovely. They have really friendly staff, gorgeous seafood and interesting…read moredeserts. It is located upstairs so also has beautiful views of St Ives harbour. We tried: - Mackerel pate: Oh my goodness I loved this! I could eat a bucketful! - Scallops (one came with bacon jam, the other with mac n cheese and truffles...) These *were* good, but I think I have been spoilt by the truly stunning scallops in Japan...so they didn't quite compare. - I had the hake, served with potatoes and beans. It was light, perfectly seasoned and delicious. - My husband had the sea trout with some sort of ponzu sauce. I tried a bite of this and it was also lovely. - I also tried the frozen apple desert, which was a bit of a work of art! I liked it, but had food envy for the white chocolate mousse. My friend (who booked a table for us) told me that the owners also run the Porthminster Beach Cafe, which is more famous, so harder to get a table. It was pretty busy when we visited, so it is probably worth booking a table in advance, even if this is their less-well-known resturant.

Almost everything my daughter and I ate here was fantastic. Started with a carrot soup special…read morethat was spicy and delicious. It could have used an optional dollop of sour cream to cut the spice. Scallops grilled in the shell were perfectly prepared. Daughter had a pizza oven-roasted eggplant/Aubergine main she said was wonderful. Sadly the crab cake I ordered was entirely mediocre - mostly bread and mealy. Otherwise five stars!

A top spot to eat on St Mary's, for lunch or dinner. The location - right on Porthcressa beach,…read morelooking over to St Agnes - is to die for. They serve a wide range of tapas and mezze style dishes, inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. Lots of choice for vegetarians and vegans, but plenty for fish and meat eaters, too. (They have daily specials of locally-caught fish). Much of the menu is gluten-free. The lunch menu includes pittas, salads and panini as well. Local sourcing means many of the ingredients are from Cornwall. They also clearly pride themselves on the provenance of their coffee (though we didn't sample it.) Service was extremely friendly and efficient, though prices reflect the quality and location: three tapas each, plus pudding and wine and a tip, came to £30 a head.

Also a brunch menu of eggs benedict/florentine etc. Salads include lamb souvlaki in pitta bread;seared beef carpaccio; Cornish blue cheese, pear & walnut. So, above average stuff. I had a wonderfully tasty field mushroom bruschetta with garlic and parmesan (£6.50). Washed down with Cornish cider in the sunshine, watching the yachts sway on a turquoise sea, this place is a treat.
