About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Porthminster Kitchen serves up a refreshing, playful take on Cornish cuisine, introducing a menu of smaller plates and lighter options which combine global flavours, fresh local ingredients and creative cooking.

We have stripped out much of what is unnecessary; dairy and gluten take a backseat in favour of fresh and exciting textures and flavours.

Porthminster Kitchen enjoys awe-inspiring panoramic views from its location in the heart of St Ives. From your vantage point above the harbour, escape the hustle and bustle and relax on our sun-drenched terrace, or gaze out from huge windows and take in the 180° view.
We are dog friendly but have limited space for our furry friends please let us know when booking to avoid disappointment.

    We had a lovely evening at Porthminster Kitchen. Very good food, friendly and efficient service in a relaxed setting with a lovely view over St Ives Harbour. The specials in particular were a real winner.

    We enjoyed our time at the Portminster Kitchen. I think.we made good choices for us with the food. I had the Seafood linguini and my husband had the Seabream both were delicious. They were cooked beautifully and we found them both very tasty and not too salty. Not the cheapest of meals but it was a birthday treat. Overall it was worth the cost. I liked the set prices for other options but we had what we wanted to eat. The veiws were pretty good of the sea and service was great.
