Alfresco Cafe Bar

Harbourside, Wharf Road, St Ives, TR26 1LG

In the heart of this fishing town renowned for its art and more latterly its restaurants, Alfresco Cafe Bar provides a perfect setting for lunch or dinner, and a spot of people watching too. Overlooking the harbour with an open-fronted continental-style restaurant, outdoor seats are obviously a big draw when its sunny, but even on a rain-soaked day, nothing can dim Alfresco's winning combination of views, vibe and carefully crafted food. Local flavours shine through wonderfully presented dishes such as mussels steamed in Cornish stinger, coronation crab and lobster with pickled radish, mango puree and coriander oil, or the Alfresco starter plate to share. Mains include fillet of beef with asparagus, ceps and oxtail hash and a wild mushroom and pistachio wellington, not just for the vegetarians!  Finish off with a chocolate and peanut butter fondant.

REVIEWS OF Alfresco Cafe Bar

Sue Goodwin (3 October 2010)

We stumbled across Alfresco whilst looking for somewhere to eat on a rainy evening in September! We had possibly the best meal we have ever eaten and although it was not the cheapest, we enjoyed every mouthful! It was all beautifully cooked and seasoned, with some interesting garnishes and unusual combinations. It was fabulous - do try it!

Marilyn (4 October 2008)

I ate there on my wedding day in September; there were twenty-two of us, and we took over the restaurant. I have to say the evening was lovely. We all found the food to be gorgeous, colourful, and everything was cooked to perfection. The girls were very helpful, and ensured that we had a good time. As for my new husband and me, we couldn’t have had a better start to our marriage. Alfresco was also the only restaurant who would fit us in, although there were much larger places, and allowing us to be the only diners that evening. So from Chris and me, and all our families, we would like to thank Alfresco. We will be back next year.
