Fabulous lunch of squid and mussels. The best we have tasted in a long time.Superb views if not very windy! No problems with the service at all.Quite the contrary.Would highly recommend.

What more can I say, this place is fantastic. Fabulous dinner - started with tapas and bubbles in outside booth enjoying view (heatlamps great!) Before dinner inside. One of the very best meals I have eaten during my 6 years in the uk. Chicken main so tasty and exciting use of ingredients (eg almonds, dates, giant couscous). Tapas puds delicious... More

Traditionally we have only had lunch or afternoon tea at this cafe, but this year we tried them for an evening meal and it was very good indeed!

First visit to this cafe whilst visiting in area. The food is excellent, good value for money, nice choice of wines and good quality coffee.

The Australian chef... More

I live in St Ives and often stop off at Porthmeor Cafe for a drink or a coffee, and when I have friends down I bring them here. The views are amazing, the food is (usually) good, and staff have been friendly and helpful. However, the last few times I have been it seems that things have changed. The food... More

I visited Porthmeor cafe for the fist time Friday evening with a friend. The location is beautiful right on the beach. We did not book but the smiley waitress managed to get us seated inside on the last available table. The menu had so many things we wanted to have so we had 6 tapas to share. The food came... More
