November 2009 - included one night in St Ives for our Cornish long weekend celebration specifically because the Porthminster Cafe had been so stronlgy recommended and we were not disapponted. The food and service was excellent - the best mackerel I have ever tasted, and my husband felt the same about his scallops. The only slight disappointment was that despite... more

We booked this restaurant prior to our trip to St Ives due to the many reviews we had read. We were going to book this one for a celebration meal, but at the last minute swerved and booked one of the other restaurants instead. We are glad we made that decision.

We came to this restaurant on our first night in St Ives and we thought the food was god but you were paying London prices for the food which is a bit much when you are in the far west of England where the costs are lower. It is a nice place overlooking the beach and clearly popular with its... more

Great fusion food and wonderful location. The most expensive restaurant we found in St Ives. more
