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 visited today for Sunday lunch and managed to sit 11 of us perfectly! The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional! I will be dreaming of the Sunday roast until we visit again!

    We have been previously to Porthminster Kitchen. And it was as good as ever. Particularly the hake main and also the steak main, beef fat chips to die for! All good no complaints at all. Will be back in June!
