Restaurants with a view in St Ives

It may be obvious, but for us, some of the best ways to enjoy the view of the sea is to be as close as possible! Porthmeor Beach Café ticks that box.

Porthminster is another beautiful beach that boasts exquisite views of the rolling white sand and clear blue sea. So, of course, Porthminster Café has views that reflects this!

There’s no surprise here, Porthgwidden Beach is another special location for many. This small but sweet cove sits perfectly between Porthmeor and Bamaluz beach and, if you are in need of some serious vitamin sea whilst enjoying some wonderfully fresh sea food, Porthgwidden Beach Café is the spot for you!

Talay Thai is a much-loved establishment located right on St Ives’ Harbour Front and the amazing food most certainly reflects the amazing views.

On a sunny day, light beams through their large glass windows, often open on a hot day! The sea is impossible to miss as soon as you walk in and it is simply the best spot to sit and watch the world go by. Even on those cloudier days, there’s nothing better than watching the moody clouds sit above the lighthouse.

If you’re looking for a bird’s eye of St Ives view whilst enjoying a traditional Cornish cream tea, the Tate Café on the very top floor of Tate St Ives is a pretty spectacular location!
