  • Neighbourhood 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 chose this top quality Restaurant for its menu and reputation, the food we had was first class one only thing that took the shine off the evening was that we were finishing our drinks and we were approached to settle our account for the evening, there were 3 of us and we were celebrating our Ruby wedding, this was mentioned when I booked and confirmed our booking. It would have been nice to have this mentioned at some point in the course of the evening.
