Reviews The Bean Inn Vegetarian Restaurant

Nearly passed this up for a chippy.... but can now say that we have bean inn.... The Bean Inn...yeah that's a terrible joke! ANYWAY! It brings me no pleasure to confess that I am in fact a wolf in sheep's clothing in that I do unfortunately eat...meat... Buuut but but! This place was absolutely AMAZING! There wasn't a single thing we didn't love! Even I as the blasted carnivore! In fact, I wouldn't have even known (had you not told me) that the butter, the cream, the ice cream, or the mud cake was vegan! I had trouble booking over the phone initially because signal in my area is naff, but they promptly managed to text me the information so I remained in the know that it was confirmed! The atmosphere was absolutely spot on! We were in a quieter room but even the other room felt warm and cosy and everyone was so friendly. The playlist was banger after banger and yet entirely appropriate for the mellow and relaxed mood, and the art on the walls was also fantastic! The tables were lovely too - sounds silly but it was like the restaurant really knew what it was and what colours really worked! Earthy, red napkins and really warm! All we drank was their amazing Morwenna Sunset drink... and the food, OH THE FOOD! This is a restaurant that absolutely knows its craft and knows it so well that you can't be disappointed with anything you order! We had a starter, main and dessert each and only regret being too full for more. The waitresses were also fantastic. So lovely, polite and warm. It was like being at a cosy relative's house and not leaving without a full belly and a big smile! This restaurant deserves its own chain with places popping up on every corner! But then that would cause it to lose its charm, and there is no charm from a food place like it! I can't praise this place enough! Please go even if you're a carnivore! You'll never regret it! Power to the greens! <3

Delicious vegan food with the ambiance very welcoming and charming. My husband and I had a really good experience. Our dinner was amazing, tasty and the staff was very kind. It was a great pleasure to be there...

We were looking for a vegetarian restaurant while visiting Carbis Bay and came across The Bean Inn and decided to give it a go after reading a few reviews. It was absolutely amazing, felt like the food was made with love and the service was also amazing. Had the bourguignon and the dhal, and were blown away. The flavours were all there and everything was made fresh. I would recommend going out of your way to visit this place. We will definitely be going back.

This place is utterly perfect. We had a lovely romantic meal for two, delicious and great service, the staff were friendly and the place is intimate with tasteful décor. We had the gnocchi with greens and pesto which came with and a side of vegan cheese on request. For mains I had the Vegetable Bourguignon with Herb Dumplings and my other half had the Stuffed Potato Cakes with Pea Curry & Spicy Tarka Dahl. All was absolutely delicious, nicely presented with good sized portions. The total of the bill including a bottle of wine, two sides, starters, mains came to £66 which I thought was pretty reasonable. We were too full to eat the delicious sounding desserts they had to offer! They also do cocktails for around £7. I highly recommend this place. We strolled down to Carbis Bay beach afterwards which was lovely and peaceful watching all bats fly past. Beware of calling local taxis on a night as they are very busy, call ones from St. Ives as they have more on although still busy. A taxi from Carbis Bay beach to Hayle Ventonleague is £17, we had to wait around 45mins to an hour for Maxi taxi!

Epic, healthy, soulful vegan food. We were blown away with our food (mushroom bourguignon and cauliflower curry and dahl), homemade and with so much flair and flavour. The owners are so friendly, we called before 2 and our dishes were made to order, to pick up later that day. I recommend going out your way if you're in St Ives, you won't regret it.

Decent food and good service. If possible go in the day time. We went in the evening and the atmosphere was a but dull/gloomy.

Very good food. We went back the following night so we could try the other dishes as well!

Really nice with good food, nice staff and with a seaview from our table. Extra with good music.

We had a group of 8 people with lots of dietary requirements and allergies. The food was excellent in both appearance and taste. At the moment you need to pre order - but well worth it. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
