From the celebrated Cornish Pasty to the Finest of Fine Dining

Over recent years St. Ives has become a renowned destination for lovers of fine cuisine. Many restaurants have been renovated or new ventures opened - the choice is extensive.

Tributes to restaurants in The Good Food Guide, weekly journals and the national press are due to the tremendous effort of the chefs and restaurateurs who are developing remarkable talents whilst contributing superb cuisine.

Some restaurants cater for alfresco eating on patios overlooking the beautiful beaches, others on balconies with stunning views of the harbour. Outdoor space heaters provide warm comfort on cooler evenings

All tastes are catered for; Vegetarian, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Pizzas and Pasta but the most popular choice has to be the Mediterranean style of cuisine providing the freshest of local seafood.

The West Country is renowned for its fresh fish, local crabs, scallops and oysters and where better to try a newly picked lobster or freshly caught sea bass
