Harbour Hotel St Ives

A charming 1930s beach house in a superb location overlooking Porthminster Sands, there are few seaside settings finer than this one. There's a bright, New England style to the restaurant, which unsurprisingly specialises in seafood. Fresh produce, from mussels and crab to squid and scallops, populates dishes that are enlivened by a range of global influences. A mixture of Asian elements, like Indonesian curry or satay sauce, are particularly prevalent – but there's still room for classic European dishes like moules marinière and seafood linguine.
