Cellar Bistro

This is the richest, most pleasant restaurant I’ve been to. I ordered the steak. The steak is to DIE FOR!! It has such a rich flavor and I bet I can eat 3 steaks in one sitting. Lots of options for deserts, and my friend really liked the sticky toffee pudding. We really DEVOURED everything we ordered. Get a nice cup of tea. It may seem small at first but it’s actually a lot bigger than you would expect. It’s got a bar as well, if you want some drinks! They even give you little easy-to-bite mints at the end. The waitresses are extremely kind and helpful and they will provide extra information for your benefits. Also this place has the most amazing fries/chips!!! We asked them how they get it to that sort of texture and level and they happily told us. We will try it. Definitely will come here again for vacation!!!

Were it not for the sound of music coming up from the stairs it would be quite easy to miss the entrance to St Ives Cellar Bistro - which would be a shame. Chandeliers in the hallway leading to the stairs down into the restaraunt create an air of opulence and sophistication that's enforced when greeted at the entrance to the large dining room. Although below street level natural light is provided by a window at one end of the long room as the old venue is built on a steep incline overlooking the harbour. The polished boarded floor is furnished with polished wooden tables spaced to create a calm and uncluttered feel to the dining area. We chose the grilled goats cheese to start, the herb encrusted hake for our main and the chocolate brownie for desert. We have dined at over a dozen restaraunts in St Ives and the food in the Cellar Bistro stands head and shoulders above the rest. The herb encrusted hake was amazing, perfectly seasoned and exploding with flavour. Every dish was beautifully presented. The chocolate brownie with salted caramel was breathtakingly fabulous! All the staff worked tirelessly as a team and still made time to engage in conversation at the tables when appropriate. Our whole evening was a superb, sophisticated yet friendly and down to earth experience and a culinary delight of the highest order. Simply fabulous!
