"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"

"A more family-friendly (and cheaper) alternative to Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, this casual cafe with rooms serves an approachable all-day menu of fresh fish and seasonal fare, as well as a dedicated offering for little ones."

"For a sublime sand-between-your-toes experience, the Gylly Beach Café has it covered in cool, coastal style. Spilling out across the sands at Falmouth’s central town beach at Gyllyngvase, diners are treated to stirring sea views along with ambient interiors, fabulous themed nights, and magnificent menus. Select anything from spaghetti and spiced lamb kofta to pan fried Newlyn cod fillet, whole grilled Cornish sole or creamy golden polenta for lunch; while the evening’s delights range from Morvah free range chicken and Falmouth wild mushrooms to Duchy game venison, bavette beef steak and pan seared silver mullet."

"Positioned on Falmouth’s famous Gyllyngvase Beach, and overlooked by the imposing Pendennis Castle, the Gylly Beach Cafe has panoramic views of the Lizard Peninsula and the Helford River. By day it’s a welcoming cafe, offering breakfasts for early birds, such as homemade granola, right up to the full Cornish. Lunch starts at noon, with a range of popular dishes that have a strong, Cornish influence, such as roasted mackerel and squid burger, or whole grilled Cornish sole with caper salsa."

"When the sun shines, everyone heads to Gylly Beach for coffee or lunch, so it's nigh on impossible to snag an outside table. Sliding doors open on to the glass-fronted patio, perched right above Gyllyngvase's..."

"From the team behind St Ives Liquor & Co, this restaurant serves delicious meat and seafood. Diners can tuck into king prawns with garlic and chilli, grilled mackerel fillets or roasted pork belly with salsa verde. Gin lovers will appreciate the extensive drinks menu which has something for everyone – don’t miss the Blood Orange G&T – while families will appreciate the convenient location along the beachfront."

"The SILCo Searoom (formerly know as plain “Searoom” and “The Tearoom”) is right on the harbour overlooking the beach. It is a lovely, modern but rustic looking cafe with chunky wood furniture. Their coffee and cake is wonderful (I highly recommend their coffee and walnut cake) and the staff are extremely lovely!"

"This stylish joint puts a Cornish twist on the Spanish staple of tapas (think lots of seafood), as well as serving quaffable cocktails late into the night. Earmark this place for your next date night."

"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."

"We take them back for an afternoon tea at the apartment or on Killacourt. The cafe upstairs has pasties, toasties and jacket potatoes if you want to eat in. Just round the corner on Bank St."
