First time visiting this great bistro . Loved the sign on our way in ( Be kind or Leave ) totally agree with this . Covid has turned the general public into impatient, impolite, rude and demanding . Right rant over back to my review.... I took my mum here for lunch . It was a lovely atmosphere with stunning views . We both ordered the bubble and squeak , we certainly enjoyed our lunch it was delicious and you can tell they use quality products . The staff were attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back when I’m back visiting in Hayle again . Keep up the great work .More

Bit disappointed. Even before we got in a sign said "Be nice or leave" I was a little taken back by this.... a good start. Seamed a little unorganised when waiting to be seated. Was shown seats in middle, wife asked to be seated at...the window, waitress was reluctant but had to oblige as it was vacant. Young daughter didn't want anything on menu so I asked older waitress if they could do her pancakes the responce was "no! Thats the menu" there's ways of declining customers requests and being abrupt isn't good for customer relations. We ordered, apparently the waffles came covered already with sugar (they should leave it for the customer to add) plus the maple! Was too sweet for her. My full English was greasy, cheap sausages that were tasteless, thin slices of hogs, luke warm tomatoes. Location was nice and divining area. We ate, paid n left. The above areas need addressing to take the business forward, couple next to us weren't over impressed with their breakfast. We had to ask for condiments and cutlery as well plus milk for my coffee. Outside there was an extensive list of rules to read on a board... felt like a prison canteen (not that I've experienced prison dinning! 😆) This is feedback not to damage business. We felt that the clients they were aiming at weren't family, bit frosty to my girls and kids menu wasn't very varied. We probably won't visit again which is a shame as location and facility is present.More

The ham eggs and chips which all tree of us had were excellent, lovely thick English boiled ham and plenty of it. There is a downside to the Bistro however. The clientele is mostly senior and female, their husbands strategically retired to the golf course,...shed or here after, the noise levels rival the local geese, not helped by the hard surfaces of the floor to ceiling glass windows, floor and walls. I had noise cancelling ear buds which I deployed, but they don't work. Dine outside if you can or maybe the veranda/conservatory has fewer hard surfaces. The establishment is well named, but not I suspect with the irony that it turns out to have.More

we were walking the coast path and found this place and what a find it was!!! Amazing lunch, best ploughmans ever!! Fantastic location and lovely staff. Dog friendly, we will definitely be back!!

Excellent breakfast, great coffee and really beautiful surroundings. Worth taking a breakfast detour! Would generally give it 5 stars if your mostly mobile and we would definitely recommend the lovely food ( veggie friendly too) but would like to point out although it has ramps...to get into and out of the cafe it has been made a lot less accessible due to the deep chippings in the carpark that make wheelchair access a bit of a headache. If that’s not a problem for you it’s brilliant and the staff are friendly and helpfulMore

Stumbled across this place when looking for somewhere for lunch during a family holiday. It did not disappoint. Amazing food in a lovely setting. Would definitely recommend.

One of my favourite dishes is a Crab Linguine and living locally I can tell you I have tried it at most of the restaurants in the area, including in St Ives and can tell you Birdies one tops the lot. Plenty of sauce, copious...amounts of beautiful crab, a generous portion too, it’s perfect. We do love Birdies, it’s been wonderful watching it grow and expand over the years and it’s most certainly a hidden gem. Well worth a visit.More

We popped in for a spot of lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was fairly empty with lots of staff/waitresses. Despite this it took ages to get served and trying to catch anyone’s eye was almost impossible. That said the food was eventually decent -...we would have liked desert but couldn’t catch anyone’s eye to place an order so gave up and left (without leaving a tip) Shame.More

Arranged to meet up with friends for breakfast. Birdies open at 9, you cannot book. We arrived at 9.20 and inside it was busy already. I asked for a table outside, and we had a good table with great views. Service was speedy and efficient....I had the English breakfast and it was well cooked and hot. We ended up spending over two hours chatting and ordering more drinks. A lovely morningMore

We went to Birdies this morning Sunday 17th September for breakfast. The quality of the food was exceptional, the staff were very friendly, and service excellent. We have been here before as we do live locally. Would recommend Birdies to everyone, and do. We met...Dom the owner, it was the 10th Anniversary of his opening the Bistro this weekend, and he has definitely worked very hard to create such a special place to visit. Congratulations to Dom and all his very hard working staff. Here’s to the next 10 years. Well done all. Carol and Paul Douglass PS We are not related to Dom in anyway.More

Whilst on our holiday in St Ives last week we called here twice for coffee. The cafe is so nice with lovely seating indoor and out. Staff were very welcoming and friendly which was welcomed after a bad experience with rudeness at a cafe/cabin close...by. We will definitely return and will tell our friends who visit the area regularly about this lovely bistroMore

Decided to go to Birdies for a breakfast with my friend. I arrived a little early and made my way to the garden area. Wow!! It is truly breath taking. I sat down at the comfortable table and chairs looking out at the estuary. The...sun was shinning down and I actually felt quite emotional at the feeling I felt being there. Never felt this before and just felt the need to leave a review as it only got better. Being a parent of a child with allergies I was delighted to be asked if we had any allergies before the order was taken. Such friendly and attentive staff. Our order came out and it was delicious. I love the tea pots too!! Thank you Birdies for a delightful experience. Will definitely be coming again and my friend has now also sorted a date with her daughter to return as she was impressed too.More
