Porthmeor Beach Cafe

Wow, what a perfect evening! We visited last with my husband and son. We had booked months in advance for here. We were 10 minutes early, but our table was ready, and we had a warm welcome. Our view from our table was amazing! All of the inside tables are by the window. Wine was lovely, kids menu good. My 5-year-old had sausage and chips and beans with some milk. We went for the tapas! The hake! The prawns! Basically, everything was devine. Food arrived within 15 minutes, which was fab! Chocolate tart was also delicious. Everything was fantastic, service, food, atmosphere, and evening. This is the best meal we have had on holiday this week. It wasn't cheap, but well worth the treat. Perfect!

Our favourite restaurant in st ives! The food here is always amazing - we come every year. One tip is to book as far in advance as you can as tables get booked up quickly. We always opt for the tapas over the main dishes as it’s just our preference but they always look great. The tapas is delicious and they often change the menu so there are different bits to try. A few favourites are the squid, prawns and the Aranchini which is one of the best we’ve ever eaten. It’s a pretty casual setting even in the evening which gives it a nice relaxed feel. The service is warm and friendly and they always have lots of staff on which means it’s quick too! There’s a good choice of drinks including local wines and a small cocktail menu. We will be back next year!

We had a lovely experience here and the food was simply amazing! Some of the best Arancini I have ever eaten and the service was so quick, friendly and welcoming. We have visited here several times before and will certainly go back again <3 the massive plus is the fantastic view of the beach you get to enjoy whilst eating

The Porthmeor Beach Café is a very nice higher end Cafe that provides some very nice food. They have indoor, balcony (that is under cover if raining) and some funky pods that are great for a family of 6 or under (they are open to the elements at one end). The Café takes walk-ins and bookings (to avoid disappointment my tip would be to book as it is very popular). Sadly with it being right on the beach side with a road behind there is no parking but there is a small public car park just up from it, but with it being the main surfing beach it is nearly always full. Hope this helps.

Amazing experience! The cafe is next to the beach where the view is stunning. We were greeted very warmly as soon as we walked in. Our server was super nice, helpful, and very attentive. The food was excellent. Very fresh, very tasty, and presented amazingly! The seabass was cooked to perfection. It's very tasty, juicy, and seared nicely for texture. The pork had a really nice crackling and very tasty. The aubergine was very nice. I just hoped there's more aubergine and a bit less chickpea mix, but it was still very delicious. The Hummus was to die for and complimented with a nice warm bread. The rosemary chips were very nice, and the aioli really went well with it. They dont have mocktails, but they went above and beyond by making me one! Highly recommended!

We went in for lunch with our dog so we sat on the terrace. Heaters were wall mounted as it was a bit chilly June. Highly recommend the hummus, squid, mackerel, beetroot and prawn and crab brioche. Staff are super efficient and friendly: Toilets are clean and are the same level. Amazing sea views of Porthmeor beach. It’s my favourite lunch destination and has been for a few years. Thanks
