Porthminster Beach Cafe - St. Ives

Genuinely good vegan food (unfortunately quite rare in Cornwall). Tofu dish was delicious. Feels like proper vegan cuisine. And gorgeous views too.

With an idyllic location and tables that are available inside, open and outside, we had served an amazingly tasty vegan lunch as tapas little teller. the staff were informed, friendly and helpful. Eat was excellent and we will return when we return to st. ives.

Delicious breakfast on the beach, no junker only fresh delicious veg, the Butternuss quash was unusual offer, but highly recommended with the roasted tomato and mushrooms. personal friendly and helpful. book a pod in advance if you can.

Super delicious dishes, can say that they were really thoughtful. the sauces and foods make the dishes, do not think they sound meh because they really complete it, for example the miso caramel sauce on the brokkoli and almond cream fruit with the polnta. really recommended

There was one vegan main course clearly marked on the menu and 5 tapas options, which we sampled all of between us, and each one was absolutely delicious. The tofu on a bed of satay flavoured noodles was amazing, as was the smoked sweet potato dish (two of these together would be generous enough to make up one main meal, but we were hungry so we had 7 between the two of us. Every dish was beautifully presented and imaginatively put together with a delicate balance of flavours, textures and colour. There were a couple of vegan desserts available (including chocolate sorbet but we both opted for the blueberry and pistachio cheesecake... It was honestly the best vegan pudding I've ever had! We ate at an inside table which looked out over the pretty Porthmeor Bay (I think every table, inside or out, has a great sea view. Covid safety measures were carefully put in place to ensure everybody's safety (only one group at each large table and clear entrances and exits. The staff and the chefs were extremely attentive, the music was chilled and the atmosphere very relaxing. For the money, this restaurant punches far above its weight. The app won' t let me give 5 stars but this is most definitely a 5 star eating experience! Reservations were hard to get at the very peak of the season but they do eventually become available- well worth persevering with the online booking system and checking every few minutes until one comes up.
