United Kingdom
Tiny little restaurant with great food and lots of veggie options. Good wine list and pleasant service. How they can produce so much from a miniscule kitchen is miraculous
Saltwater Cafe
Fish Steet
St.Ives
A great little restaurant with fantastic views and great ambience, as well as good food! Less well-known (and less expensive!) than its big brother on Porthminster but up there with it.

Great food with a north African influence to it, and they serve wine by the jug. Great place to eat if you're travelling alone. Do book in advance though.

Wonderful fresh local fish served by a very knowledgeable owner. Best surf and turf I have ever tasted.
Fish Street.
For fish and chips with a glorious view, head to the beach and this concession in the basement of the wonderful Porthminster Cafe.
Looking out to the bay, on your left is St Ives harbour, while arching round to the right is Hayle Sands and the Godrevy Lighthouse.
The food is delicious: battered fish is light, flaky and golden, chips are crisp yet fluffy in the centre, and all for £4.75. Local fish is used wherever possible.
It's open only during the summer season, but it's worth the wait.
