Stunning food ... we had the dressed crab and also lemon sole.. perfect with the salads it came with. Lovely drinks .. staff really friendly and we had the best table . Definitely worth a visit.
Wow, this place is magical, we had our wedding reception here a few days ago, i can't recommend them enough! Dianne and all the staff were brilliant, the food was fabulous and we felt like royalty for the day, nothing was too much trouble for them, we're so glad we choose you to be our venue. A truly fairytale day. Thankyou. ��
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.
Great cafe for all types of food. Food very good quality in the restaurant section and staff nice snd friendly. Looks over the beach for fantastic sea views.

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 😕
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!
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!
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
Great location, food first class worth the walk to get away from the main shops and cafe's.
If you want a fantastic venue in an up beat, trendy bistro/restaurant/cafe with the most astonishing views, this is the place. The supervisor was genuinely polite, happy to engage in a chat, and cheerful with a great attitude to service. Easy access from the car park and located on the beach at 1st floor level ensuring even in a mizzly day, the view of the beach and the sea was tremendous. We ordered a couple of bacon and egg baps. Carefully prepared in brioche buns, the bacon and egg was cooked superbly well and the buns appeared to have been griddled in the bacon fat which was a tasty and welcomed change from a simple toasting. Coffee was hot and smooth.
The venue is so iconic don't expect a cheap bite but when considering the location, and the quality of the food and service, the value was excellent.
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
We had a lovely coffee in the morning overlooking the beach. One of the staff out an umbrella up to protect us from seagulls. We also visited early evening for drinks, staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable.
