Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Porthcurno

"What’s to love: Take one look at the menu in the Porthminster Beach Café and you’ll realise this is no ordinary seaside café. The café has won several awards for its Mediterranean and Asian inspired seafood, yet it remains one of St Ives most relaxed and friendly eateries. With an excellent selection of delicious and visually appealing dishes – not to mention one of the best views of any restaurant in Cornwall – Porthminster Beach Café is a must for seafood lovers."

"Porthmeor Beach Café is sat almost on the water’s edge, overlooking the entire beach, renowned for its beauty. Whether you’re looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the sun sits over Porthmeor all throughout the day. With their open terrace and sheltered outdoor dining areas, you are sure to be making the most of what St Ives has to offer in the way of sea views."

"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."

"Ideal for a casual lunch or dinner after relaxing on the beach, diners can choose from tapas plates and hearty seafood dishes. In terms of drinks, there’s an impressive menu on offer, from sparkling cocktails to local craft beer. Visit Porthmeor-Beach.co.uk"

"The smallest and most sheltered of St Ives’ beaches, Porthgwidden is east facing, meaning it’s ideal for those who wish to get to the beach early and bask in the sun all day!. While there are no lifeguards, Porthgwidden is usually completely safe for bathing, and also welcomes you with a lovely café on the white terrace, a handy snack kiosk, toilets and parking nearby."

"Just around the corner from our luxury apartments this café is very popular with our guests. A relaxed beachside cafe with an outside terrace and great views across the Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. Porthgwidden Beach Café specialises in Mediterranean and Asian seafood."

"From the celebrated Cornish Pasty to the finest of fine dining, St Ives has become a renowned destination for seekers of top quality and innovative cuisine. It's hard to be sure whether it's the sea air after a day's walking or driving the coast road which improves your meal; it's impossible to prove that the hot sun on the cotton sunshade makes your cocktail taste more exciting and is it a fact that the murmur of the ocean and the gentle ripple of reflected water makes your steak or haddock fillet more satisfying?. It's all hard to prove, but great fun trying!"

"Sister restaurant Porthminster Beach Café, Porthminster Kitchen caters for all occasions. With drinks served all day, you’re welcome to pop in from a blustery walk on the harbour to warm up with coffee and cake, indulge in something a little stronger or enjoy a leisurely lunch in a cosy, light flooded dining room. Weather permitting; you can even enjoy an alfresco seat on the balcony with a stunning panoramic view of the Harbour."

Their menu is versatile and their vegan cheese is a must try!"

"The child and dog friendly Scoff Troff Café has fast earned a great reputation in St Ives. Whether you’re having a Croque Madame at breakfast, a New York Salad at lunch, tucking into their Italian inspired evening menu at dinner or simply swinging by for an indulgent slice of cake coupled with a coffee, any member of the family can feel at home in the bright, fun and friendly atmosphere of the Scoff Troff Café. With good sized tables and baby changing facilities, Scoff Troff is suitable for both very young and older children and while you’re there you might also be lucky enough to meet Kodie, The Scoff Troff’s own resident pooch who holds pride of place at the front of the café to welcome visitors."

"Scoff Troff is at the top of Lifeboat Hill, near Jo Downs glass on Market Place. It is a pretty new cafe but is quickly getting an excellent reputation for great coffee and good food. They do great coffee and cake – again I’ve not eaten a meal here but I’m told their pizza is amazing!"

"St Ives doesn’t have too many veggie/ vegan options, but here has some delicious options. We had the plant based patty burgers & chunky chips. Very tasty & quick service."

"Relax in Beach Cafe Bar in the rustic-chic atmosphere, where they serve fantastic coffee, wine, artisan beers and smidgens of delicious food."

"This particular shot is taken from close to the open air Minack Theatre, close to Land’s End, although my favourite stretch of the Cornish coastline is at Bedruthan Steps further north.” Cornwall stretches down along the north, west and south leg of England. It covers a lot of territory, many gorgeous beaches and cliffsides, and dozens of little towns that are worth exploring. With only a week, you obviously can’t see it all, so we recommend getting on the freeway and heading straight down to Newquay on the north coast."

"Don’t leave without exploring the fishing village of Cadgwith, the bustling town of St. Ives, sampling Cornish pasties, walking along the coastal route at Lizard Peninsula, and watching a play at Minack Theatre (an open-air theater overlooking the sea) Minack Theater in Cornwall is stunning"

"This modern and refreshingly informal café serves a varied lunch menu encompassing everything from deep-fill sandwiches and paninis to fresh pasta and burgers. When the sun smiles, sit outside Waves and feel gloriously continental."

"Heralded for its delicious hot dogs, Surf Shack Cafe on the harbour-front also welcomes dogs. Whether sitting inside the cosy little cafe or on the patio, the panoramic views of the harbour are truly a sight to behold. They offer gluten-free and vegan options while their daily offerings extend to lunch, brunch and breakfast."

"Takeaway or sit outside in the sun, Olive's Cafe is just a short walk from our luxury St Ives cottages so if you're looking for a morning to sit back and relax with a coffee in the town then look no further, Olive's Cafe offers home baked treats (including some scones!) to enjoy outside."
