About the restaurant
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.

Food was delicious, the only thing that let it down was the seafood linguine. There wasn’t much seafood considering there was an £8 supplement. Plus it was flavourless. Such a shame as the rest of the meal was delicious.

About the restaurant
Argoe is a casual harbourside restaurant serving the best of local Cornish produce. We focus on fish and seafood, landed here in Newlyn, and take inspiration from traditional European methods of cooking. Our dishes are served to be shared, arriving from the kitchen as they are ready and accompanied by minimal intervention wines from our taps and a small selection of Cornish and UK made ciders, spirits and soft drinks.

About the restaurant
Visit us at Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling for a quintessentially British experience, whether it be in our restaurant, terrace or bar, or for afternoon tea, exploring the best of South-West’s larder, with surreal coastal surroundings.

We are so lucky to have one of the most beautiful views of Fistral Beach, nestled inside the historic hotel, The Headland. You are overlooking the clifftops over the ocean, watching the world pass you by.
It’s truly a place where all of your problems disappear.

We see Cornwall as a hidden gem in this fabulous country, so we only use what we find in the South-West of England from our fisherman, farmers and suppliers, keeping our menu hyper-local and traceable. Our restaurant menu is created for you. Pick up to 4 courses of our regularly-changing menu, so you can eat in the way that you most want to.

We are breaking down the boundaries to the conventional ‘fine dining’ restaurant. Instead, it’s dining for you, at your leisure.
