Enjoy a lovely atmosphere with coastal views from the balcony, but be prepared for mixed service and small portion sizes.

We love you Yellow Canary!!!!
We come here every time we visit Cornwall and have been coming for years, we love it. I’m coeliac and we love the gluten free pasties and cream teas! The coffee is amazing (probably my favourite ever) super smooth, well made, delicious and high quality. The person serving us even offered to make me a drink I asked for that wasn’t on the menu! Super accommodating which is really nice :) Very clean and aesthetically pleasing as well
With stunning views and a welcoming vibe, this spot is perfect for gatherings, even on rainy days!

Amazing staff and fresh beautiful food! They catered for us being gluten and milk free. We were a big group of loud kids and adults and the staff were very accommodating and polite. The view was lovely (even though it was raining).
A charming spot known for its cozy vibe and quality dishes, with a menu that impresses even on busy days.

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. 😀
A cozy gem in St Ives, offering homemade delights, top-notch coffee, and plenty of seating for a relaxed hangout.

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 😋🤤
Charming spot with varied options, a cozy vibe, and dog-friendly, making it perfect for family outings or relaxed hangs!

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!
With a stunning view and a relaxed vibe, this spot offers beautifully cooked dishes in a casual setting, perfect for a chill night out.

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.
With top-notch pizza, prompt service, and a cozy vibe, this spot is perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.

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.
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 😊

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.
A great pop in to the Beach Cafe. Two cream teas and a savoury, a bit of a complicated gluten free request. All very yummy and very nicely presented. Our waitress Lauren couldn’t have been more helpful, cheery and great at her job! She was buzzing all over the place and so friendly and efficient with everyone. She remembered a couple, when they were ordering, from the previous year, made their day! Such service and attitude adds so much when eating out. Wish we’d come here earlier. 👍👍
