Popped in for lunch, great selection of options for gluten free, friendly and attentive service. The food was spot on, will be returning on my next visit no doubt.

A truly special birthday thanks to The Cornish Deli I was looking for a place with gluten-free food on my birthday. The first place I visited ignored me completely, and I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. Then I walked into The Cornish Deli — and everything changed. The cozy interior, with its traditional Cornish charm, immediately lifted my spirits. It felt warm, authentic, and inviting. There was only one person behind the bar, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to him. He greeted us with genuine kindness and made us feel so welcome. Thanks to him, my birthday turned around completely. My gluten-free crab sandwich was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seasoned fries and delicious drink made it even more perfect. I couldn’t have wished for a better place to spend my birthday. Thank you so much to the man behind the bar — your warmth and care truly made my day.

Gluten free pasties were not worth it. The meat was terrible.

Nicky Mousset

Excellent food. Buddha bowl was perfect and the gluten free version delicious. Highly recommend.

An excellent alternative to a classic burger shop. The menu doesn't have the largest selection, but there are very interesting things on it. There are also gluten-free versions. The gluten-free chicken wings are particularly excellent. Rarely have I had such a good and crispy breading. Lots of gluten-free beers to go with it.

Patrick O'Leary

Very nice gluten free meal and a Latte.

Nice Place at the Beach, great breakfast for my wife, two friends and I. I asked for gluten-free bread and they had it. Cappuccino was great too. A definite go! I asked the taxi company for a recommendation, and this was great.

Amazing gluten free calamari, server not very attentive but still nice, beautiful sea views.

On a day trip by coach, I didn't have much time to wander around looking for somewhere for lunch, as I have Coeliac disease and need to eat Gluten Free, so I looked at Google reviews and found this gem. Lovely, friendly staff, great food and a can do attitude. I had a fabulous GF Cornish Crab sandwich, crisps and a Frappé. Perfect. Thanks guys. Great lunch. 😀

Great food, great coffee and loved the matcha too (I've been back a few times!) Alternative milks, vegan and gluten free options, picnic boxes for the beach, great cakes, wraps and more! Great service and staff too! Highly recommend. ❤️ Eat in or take away.

Lynn & Ellie were very accommodating and lovely members of staff! The food was lovely and again very accommodating for gluten free, one of the few fish and chips shops that offer it in the area.

Chantelle

A great tasting menu including the classic Beef Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. Today was our third visit, and each time it has been an absolute favourite of ours. At £38 per head, it is great value for money. They also cater for gluten free diets.

Definitely worth a visit and a great alternative to bar food, burgers & co. A great selection, a special menu for gluten-free. I wish we had a place like this near us, I would be a regular.

While exploring St. Ives Harbour, after a Googling for sea food place, we stumbled upon a hidden gem: Porthminster Kitchen. This charming restaurant, though not immediately noticeable, offers a delightful culinary experience. The restaurant's interior is modern with a beautiful designed old wood frammed fireplace that creates a relaxed dining atmosphere. However, the entrance to the second floor dining area could be better marked to attract more guests. Food: The menu at Porthminster Kitchen features a creative and diverse selection of dishes. We started with the Korean Fried Cauliflower and a custom salad, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For our mains, we had the Roasted Hake Fillet and the Whole Cornish Sole, which were cooked to perfection and showcased the freshness of the ingredients. To finish, the Crispy Rice Pudin with Coconut Sorbet was a delightful and refreshing dessert, particularly appealing to vegan and gluten-free diners. Service: The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations based on our preferences. We highly recommend!! Yummy 😋🤤

Had a really lovely meal here with my family. All three of the dishes and desserts we ordered were delicious and drinks were superb too. Staff were super helpful and friendly! Just wanted to leave a note for fellow gluten-free folk that they can do their pizzas on a gluten free pizza base but it’s an extra £2 charge. Also the pizzas are all cooked in the same oven so not so good for coeliac but perfectly great for me!

Valerie Hurry

Very pleasant evening sharing some delicious food. Nice corner table so we could chat. Really nice white wine but I can't remember what it was called . They accommodated gluten and dairy free. Delicious coconut yoghurt

Jess D

Nice restaurant and friendly staff, food is good and they have some gluten free options too. Really nice setting

Please review your options for gluten free diners! After many years of wanting to visit, I called to ask about gluten free options for brunch and was told (by a coeliac member of staff no less!) that most of the options were very "bready" and they didn't even offer gluten free bread! I said they could just buy some in from a supermarket and he answered that they'd have to throw it away due to lack of demand. I suggested they could freeze it and use as needed but he said they wouldn't do that! I'm so disappointed and won't be visiting. This is not a review to cause trouble, this is an appeal to reconsider how you might welcome the HUGE (and growing) number of people who can't eat gluten. When so many small independents and large chains are managing to do it and doing it well, this is incredibly frustrating from a such a reputable and well-established eaterie. Please do better.

Love it here - go back every year. Great choice of fresh food and gluten free options for one of my family members. Staff are lovely too.

Steve Griffiths

Had a great meal here last night. In a party of nine we had one vegetarian, one vegetarian plus gluten free, and one small person (under three years old). All were catered for without problem and the food and drinks were great - one person said it was the second-best pizza he'd ever eaten. We weren't rushed but at the same time the service was prompt. If we return to St Ives, we'll definitely be coming here again.

David Herring

Amazing food, best meal I’ve eaten in a long time. 100% would recommend to others 👌 gluten and dairy free needs were also catered for perfectly 👌 Thank you for an amazing meal 😊

Debbie Cowles

What an experience! We had two platters, sharing boards, for four people. Each of the numerous platters is from a different area of Italy. They were delicious. They were very helpful with my dietary restrictions also. And the flourless gluten-free chocolate cake was 10 out of 10. A wonderful, delicious unique meal. If we return to the area, we will definitely go back.

This was my partner's and mine second Michelin experience and first structured one. The view during the day is pretty incredible, the path there very cool too if you are on foot too. The food was pretty amazing, accommodating for me as a coeliac, which I really appreciate. I don't want to spoil what the experience includes, so I am not going to go into detail. I think my partner and I felt very impressed with the complexity of favors and of course the presentation is pretty amazing. My many congratulations to the kitchen staff, and the servers and front desk professionals were some of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever met, thank you all so much, you made our experience and trip very special and I feel incredibly grateful.

The diner was super!! My wife has a gluten and dairy intolerance, but this was not a problem for the chef. We' ve had a fantastic diner and the service was very friendly. Thanks

Julia Mitra

Good gluten free options, a bit pricey but good hours and good quality.
