Historically one of my favourite places and hadn't visited for about 4-5 years. The food was delicious but the menu wasn't what we were expecting. It's gone up market with the lunchtime menu. The view hasn't changed and is still incredible!

Sat in the window inside, so perfect view east to Godfrey. Mackerel pate starter and fish and chips main very well done. Service was attentive for our friends who have allergies, all well catered foe. Atlantic pale ale perfect with the F&Chips. Al round a perfect beach cafe.

Fantastic place and really helpful. The chef cooked me something from scratch without salt as I have an intolerance to it. Definitely above and beyond Thank you

Wonderful setting outside the hubbub of St Ives on a stunning beach. Food was excellent and the service outstanding. Special mention for Clare…. she is brilliant

Very welcoming & accommodating staff, given we arrived with no prior booking. They fitted us in on the indoor terrace, #whataview.
Wonderfull meal & overall service. Will definitely visit again!

St Ives Portthgwidden Beach Cafe is a wonderful spot for a very nice lunch or Dinner. They do walkins but if you can book as it is very popular. It opens for lunch at 12 midday to 4pm and Dinner 5:30pm until 10pm. Nice little menu especially if you are a fan of Seafood. Lovely friendly staff and the view is Cornwall at its finest (If in the Sun).
There is a public car park nearby (The Island Carpark) but it is very popular and nearly always full, so my tip would be come early to get a spot and come for the full day of beach ⛱ and a lovely bit of lunch. But if you don't get in the carpark it's still worth the walk.
Nibbles around £4 - £6
Starters around £10 - £15
Mains around £17 - £45 (full lobster 🦞)
Desserts around £8 - £12
They do specials, price may vary.
P.S I forgot to mention they sadly have stopped doing breakfast 😕

I will call this review the Hero.
Today we come to the restaurant to have some lunch.
We come and the bartender give us a table close to the door and with almos zero views of the sea...
We then ask other bartender if we can get please other table close the window to admire the amazing views that this restaurant have...
That's why I call this review the Hero.
The woman blonde with glasses give us the best table of the place us soon the other clients finish eating, this defenetly make a crazy differences I will like to say to her thanks so so much one more time for this small toach.
Very disappointed with the youngest bartender but today we had the Hero.
Thanks so much one more time for this Blonde Hero

Most fantastic view, lovely food, friendly staff. Worth the effort to find it, it's a bit tucked away.
Ask for a table with a view if you're booking!
