Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Kynance Cove. ****

"Firstly the location of Porthminster Beach Cafe overlooking Porthminster beach is stunning, making the whole occasion feel a little more special. It is such a relaxing setting to eat and drink whilst taking in the splendours of beach and St Ives beyond. Book a window table in advance, particularly over the summer months.The food is outstanding here, our favourite being the Monkfish Curry but the Fish n’ Chips are delicious also and absolutely perfect for lunch."

"This is no ordinary beach cafe: it's a full-blown bistro with a gorgeous sun-trap terrace and a superb Mediterranean-influenced menu, specialising in seafood. Tuck into rich bouillabaisse, seafood curry or..."

"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."

"Hidden in a white-sand cove at the foot of St Ives’ Island, this is the lesser-known little sister of the eminent Porthminster Café. A smaller, more relaxed version of its famous relative, here the best local ingredients are wrapped into dishes such as paella and moules marinière. As well as a kids’ menu and delicious cakes, its family-friendly credentials are boosted by nearby parking and outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful Blue Flag beach.www.porthgwiddencafe.co.uk"

"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."

"This compact hotel, now owned by St Austell Brewery, is squeezed in along the winding Warren. The architecture is boxy 1970s, but inside it's a surprise, bright and beachy, with panoramic windows offering amazing..."

"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."

"This wonderful medieval house and garden was the family seat of the Godolphin family who, during the 17th and 18th centuries, were one of Cornwall's great mining dynasties. The main house is still undergoing restoration by the National Trust: tours of the interior run on most days (check ahead), but the wider estate can be explored on your own. With acres of woodland, riverside walks and lawns to roam, it's hard to think of a more tranquil place for a stroll."

"19/04/2021: Been before but always a pleasure to return excellent service and yummy cakes , lovely to have a nice beer outside. 18/04/2021: This is a lovely cafe next to the maritime museum, with good outdoor and indoor seating (when regulations allow). We have eaten here several times and always found the food good and the service excellent."

"Set above the harbourfront, Balcony Bar is the ideal place to retire with a crisp pint after a big day at the beach. With a few great brews on tap, the bar offers a food menu that is laidback yet perfect for its locale. The tacos were so good we went back multiple times for more (two fish, one prawn for me, please!) and the burgers are juicy and sauce laden – everything you could want to punctuate a holiday evening."
