Restaurants in St Ives
In high season make sure that you book in advance as seats are difficult to come by.
St Andrew Street Bistro - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2914150/st_andrews_street_bistro_st_ives_cornwall/
The real website doesn't seem to be working at present, so this is an alternative. We also feature for about a second in the video!
This is one of our favourite restaurants in St Ives, tasty and original food, ambience and a friendly owner. Say "Hi" to Mat for us!
Saltwater - http://saltwaterstives.co.uk
Just up Fish Street, a small cosy restaurant with excellent and well priced food. Another of our favourites.
Caffe Pasta - http://www.caffepasta.co.uk/
The closest eatery to the Crow's Nest, good value pizza and pasta dishes
Porthminster Cafe - http://www.porthminstercafe.co.uk/
The most "up-market" restaurant in St Ives, pricey but worth a visit
Porthgwidden Beach Cafe - http://www.porthgwiddencafe.co.uk/
A proper "beachy" feeling and good hearty food - great views if you book a window seat
Seafood Cafe - http://www.seafoodcafe.co.uk/
Design your own fish dinner, but they also serve meat.
Other good places to eat include The Firehouse and Black Rock.
