Best & Cool Bars in Kynance Cove. ****

"The view is beyond gorgeous and the coffee is nice and strong. They don’t do the BIGGEST coffees (I would like them to be maybe double the size), but the combination of taste and setting still makes this a great place to have a coffee. I love to sit outside on a sunny day on the terrace."

"Porthmeor Beach Café is directly opposite the buzzy Tate Gallery. A lively café overlooking Porthmeor Beach, it’s the perfect vantage point for watching the surf. The eclectic menu is designed to be shared – order a bunch of small plates, sit back and enjoy the view."

"It may be obvious, but for us, some of the best ways to enjoy the view of the sea is to be as close as possible!. Porthmeor Beach Café ticks that box. Perched on the edge of the shore, Porthmeor Beach Café truly offers some of the most magical views."

"One of my favourite places, Gylly Beach Cafe is a versatile place to eat, serving everything from cakes and coffees to themed nights with set menus. In the summer there’s a barbecue menu served on the decking and a more formal menu inside. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon by the sea at any time of the year."

"Sat on Falmouth’s Gyllyngvase beach and with views of the Lizard peninsula, eat fresh, locally sourced food at the family-run, award winning Gylly Beach Cafe."

"Searoom is a gastrobar perfect to enjoy an evening on the harbour front. Just a few minutes away from our luxury self catering apartments the SILco. Searoom offers tapas with a taste of Cornwall."

"Pedn Olva Hotel is one of the most popular hotels in St Ives, perhaps because of its desirable location. The hotel is situated on the granite rocks of St Ives near Porthminster Beach, with lovely views over the harbour and the town. Pedn Olva Hotel has 30 bedrooms, each awash with natural light and some with stunning sea views."

"A substantial spa, a pool and glorious bay views are the headline acts at this classy residence perched on St Ives’ hillside above Porthminster Beach and near the railway station. Inventive bistro fare by a Rick Stein-trained chef impresses."

"A fun family option, where you can crack your own crab claws (aprons and tools provided), or dine on mains such as jerk chicken, gumbo and jambalaya. Fine dining it isn't, however, and service can be a bit..."

"Situated right on St Ives' gorgeous harbourside, The Rum & Crab Shack is a casual yet fun restaurant and bar serving food and drink to locals and touris ..."

"Having been open since 1984, Peppers is one of St Ives' longest running Italian restaurants. Situated just moments from the town's beautiful harbourside, it ..."

"We are located by the waterside, on Custom House Quay in Falmouth, Cornwall. We’re open from 6pm every day of the week."

"Set in beautiful St. Ives, Bier Huis Grand Café is a short walk from the harbour, serving a range of Belgian and Cornish inspired dishes."

"Beer & Bird is a family run affair serving up craft beer and fried chicken. The chicken is free-range and reared in Cornwall, while many of the beers are also brewed locally. Or if you prefer cider, they brew their own onsite."

"You know times are a-changing in St Ives when it gets its own craft-beer-and-fried-chicken bar. Hipster it may be, but it's definitely well worth a visit – with a choice of around a hundred brews and several..."

"06/06/2021: Lovely fresh homemade food, good portions in a light and airy room with nice outdoor space too. Always super friendly service and great coffee. They do lots of regular feast and film nights too."

"Because it’s positioned away from the city centre it’s pretty easy to forget about The Alverton, especially if you’re local and not needing a hotel room. However, you really shouldn’t forget it. The marvellous former convent houses a sublime restaurant, which is well worth the five minute walk from town, and an excellent bar to boot."

"Here you can sip pre-dinner cocktails overlooking the garden, indulge in three courses of Celtic-inspired cuisine and discover your little piece of tranquility in the city. The a la carte menu features good honest food made using the best locally-sourced ingredients. Click here for booking details and visitor reviews."
