“ Came for lunch. Amazing and quick service by the friendly waitresses! Food was great quality, large portions and came quickly. Haddock and chips were brill with a nice chunk of lemon. Korean bao bun was tasty too! ”

“ I had a lovely solo dining experience at Porthminster Kitchen. While the veggie options were limited, the food I had was really nice. The garlic bread with the soup of the day was delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the waitress made sure I was well taken care of. The view of the beach was incredible, and the warm, cozy atmosphere with the fireplace made it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal on my own. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend if you're looking for a relaxed setting with great views and tasty food. ”

“ We had a fantastic lunch at Porthminster Kitchen in St. Ives. The location is unbeatable - right on the harbour with stunning views across the water. We were lucky to get a table on the terrace without a booking, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. It does get busy, so it’s worth arriving early or booking ahead if you can. The atmosphere was lovely - clean, relaxed, and welcoming, with a modern coastal vibe that suits the location perfectly. Service was fast and friendly. The food was outstanding - fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavour. I had the sea bream with an Asian twist, and it was incredibly tasty and well-balanced. My partner went for the steak sandwich and absolutely loved it. There’s also a good selection of drinks, and I really enjoyed a glass of local Cornish cider. Prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected in St Ives - and honestly, the quality, setting, and service make it well worth it. A brilliant spot for lunch or dinner with a view - highly recommend! ”

“ We had dinner here, and decided to go for all seafood dishes, and it turned out to be a great choice as everything was delicious. The scallops starter was outstanding with how fresh and well prepared it was. Of the mains, the Hake fillet was the best of them all. ”

“ Our second time here and its every bit as good as the first. Delicious food, good wine and a wonderful view too. Thank you for being so accommodating with my gluten and dairy free intolerance, much appreciated desert was a real bonus! ”

“ While exploring St. Ives Harbour, after a Googling for sea food place, we stumbled upon a hidden gem: Porthminster Kitchen. This charming restaurant, though not immediately noticeable, offers a delightful culinary experience. The restaurant's interior is modern with a beautiful designed old wood frammed fireplace that creates a relaxed dining atmosphere. However, the entrance to the second floor dining area could be better marked to attract more guests. Food: The menu at Porthminster Kitchen features a creative and diverse selection of dishes. We started with the Korean Fried Cauliflower and a custom salad, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For our mains, we had the Roasted Hake Fillet and the Whole Cornish Sole, which were cooked to perfection and showcased the freshness of the ingredients. To finish, the Crispy Rice Pudin with Coconut Sorbet was a delightful and refreshing dessert, particularly appealing to vegan and gluten-free diners. Service: The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations based on our preferences. We highly recommend!! Yummy ”

We savoured the delicate scallops, the rich seafood linguine, the perfectly cooked roasted hake fillet and a lovely desert. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. this place is a must-visit! ”

“ We had a lovely meal here, both having 2 courses and sharing a desert. The scallops were delicious and The Hake was good. The mackerel pate was fantastic and the seafood linguine was a generous portion with lots of fresh prawns and crab meat. We also had a bottle of white Picpoul with was always topped up by the lovely waitress. Truly a very special visit and I would love to sit outside during the summer months as the view is incredible! Highly recommend. ”
