Porthminster Café, located right on the beach, is a multi-award-winning seafood restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.
The café specialises in Mediterranean and Asian seafood cuisine and is an oasis of taste and visual beauty.
We are now in our Winter opening hours which are as follows:
Closed: Sunday – Monday

Porthminster Cookbook
Our new limited edition cookbook.
Two years in the making, this beautiful book not only includes some of the café’s secret recipes but also contains photography of St Ives at its very best.
Many guests take away their beach-side memories in the form of Porthminster Beach Café – The Cookbook, a collection of signature recipes compiled by Executive Chef, Mick Smith. Dishes including the famous Monkfish Curry, Sea bass with Crab Fritters and Chilli Ponzu, and Deconstructed Pimms, can all now be recreated at home.
