St. Eia is an intimate wine bar & shop tucked away in the back streets of St. Ives, a stone's throw from Porthmeor beach and the Tate Gallery.

We serve seasonal bistro inspired food alongside wines which focus on conscientious farming practices and family values.

Daily changing wines by the glass and an ever expanding selection of super rare and exciting wines by the bottle at reasonable prices.

    Our food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful - great. Would be good if there were a few cheaper bottles of wine.

    We returned after a few years for a special occasion and everything was just as good as last time. Best restaurant in St Ives by miles, simple but interesting dishes with amazing flavour cooked perfectly and friendly, down to earth service. Would highly recommend!
