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.
