About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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 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!

    We tried to book into the Porthminster Beach Cafe because we have been there many times and love it. Disappointed that we couldn't book a table we found the Porthminster Kitchen not realising that they were related. We were not diappointed, squid, fish and chips and the Fish Chowder were all excellent. Fantastic Chese plater followed. We will return!

    Beautiful meal last night. The food was so good. The steak was amazing, cooked so well and accompanied by fantastic potatoes and vegetables. Equally the fish linguine was gorgeous. It’s a lovely restaurant and very well presented, nice warm fire for a February evening and stunning views. Very attentive staff who looked after us very well
