Cellar Bistro in Cornwall

Cosy, quiet restaurant with excellent service and great food, fish, meat, vegetarian and vegan options, happy to make changes to the vegetarian options to make them vegan. Great place for evening meal (no views), very popular so recommend booking, they were very helpful when adding 3 people to my booking at the last minute. One of my favourite restaurants in St Ives

Well - where do we start? Booked in for a table of 6 of us, after eating here last year and having a great meal. Thought we would come back and so glad we did. All of us pondered the menu with interest, deciding on starters - although not packed it was extremely well thought out, with something there for everyone. Same with the main courses. As in Cornwall, I thought I would order seafood, as it is very good here, and so fresh. I ordered the Calamari to start with, and it did not disappoint, then the Cornish Hake for main - and I can assure you, if you are in any doubt as to what to order here at this friendly restaurant, I urge you to try the Cornish Hake - this sumptuous main dish, was packed with the freshness of an ocean sea spray, balanced perfectly with peas and delicately seasoned potatoes - all brought together with a Salsa Verdi crust on the Hake, that topped it off like a crown - a King of dinners, and one that I shall definitely return to this restaurant for. (have booked in on Friday before we return home)

Staff were amazing, so accommodating- especially as I am dairy AND gluten free. Very relaxed atmosphere. You xould go dressed up or down. Lovely food, wine & cocktails. Would 100% recommend.

Gorgeous food and relaxed atmosphere. Visited after a windy day on the beach, so to come down to a lovely warm environment was just wonderful. I had the crusted hake which is their signature dish. You can see why! Just so tasty; fish flaky, puree smooth and yummy. Just wish I lived closer to visit more regularly! We paired this with a bottle of sauvignon Marlborough which finished it off perfectly!

Well we thought we would try Cellar Bistro given the excellent reviews, sadly the food was just awful. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night where the chef was not in?For starter we had pork pudding and cauliflower. It was essentially spam and cauliflower, terrible. The mains, hake was fine but it was served with a green rancid sauce which had gone cold and tasted unbelievably disgusting. The sirloin steak was dripping in oily butter, way over salted and therefore inedible. The one saving grace was the excellent service but let down by shockingly bad food.

We enjoyed a lovely evening, every course was delicious & generous. The service impeccable and friendly and even on a busy evening we were not kept waiting. Thankyou & we will be back for sure.

4 of us went to Cellar Bistro for an evening meal during our holiday to St Ives and it was definitely a highlight. The food was gorgeous (would recommend the hummus and ciabatta starter and the tagine for main) and the service was friendly, efficient and extremely professional. The atmosphere was lovely, too. I especially appreciated that they had prepared vegan specials for if vegan guests (like myself) didn’t fancy the option that was on the menu - this kind of thoughtfulness is a rarity and really stood out. Would recommend for a more upmarket evening out.

Was taken for my birthday dinner and this place is without doubt the best dining place in St Ives, impeccable service and divine food. You will walk past it as it's in the basement but it's a real gem!

One of the best meals we've had in a while. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. I can see why this restaurant is so highly rated in the area.We had 3 courses which can be seen in the photos. The portion sizes were good and the price was reasonable for the food quality you were getting. If you want a really cheap night out then this is not for you, you definitely get what you pay for here.The restaurant is tucked away and can be difficult to find unless you knows its there. There is a nice ambience inside and I would definitely return if coming back to St Ives
