Best French Bakery 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..."

"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."

"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."

"Serving a great selection of local, Cornish, homemade food which is made at the cafe and served up fresh, The Cornish Deli has a range of vegan options.

"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."

"Olives Cafe is a really little gem of a place, tucked away on Island Square. It is pretty small inside, but, as they say, perfectly formed in every way. Their coffee is most excellent and their scones are the largest (and very homemade) of any I have ever seen!"

"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."

"Small is beautiful, as this cosy deli-diner ably demonstrates. Charcuterie, tarts, salads and quiches fill the counter cabinets, and there's a super array of premium consumables for sale. It's especially good for..."

"18/05/2021: Our family tried Piero's for the first time this evening despite living in Truro for the past 12years or so. Day 2 of eating inside during the current pandemic. My god what a breath of fresh air this place is."

"Gyllyngvase Beach is just a ten-minute stroll along the seafront and is the longest stretch of sand in Falmouth. Wander the coastal path from Gyllyngvase and it will take you along the cliffs to the next beach (Swanpool) in just five minutes. You can continue on a longer hike from here to Maenporth or just enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch at Hooked on the Rocks at Swanpool where you can enjoy a slap up seafood delight."

"It's a bit of a drive from Falmouth but this gorgeous kitchen garden near Constantine is well worth the detour. Rescued from dilapidation by its current owners, it's been renovated by volunteers into a delightful working garden modelled on the French 'potager'. Highlights include the 30m greenhouse and the super veggie cafe, which is very popular with lunching locals at weekends (mains £6 to £10). There's always a good selection of plants for sale, too."
