Porthminster Cafe Description
Thoughts of blissful times in the Caribbean come flooding back as one contemplates the ocean from this dreamy location, which has been tastefully set up as a foodie destination.
Inspirational food from Australian chef Michael Smith comes to the guest, you may have seen him featured on Beach Cafe, Discovery Channel. In the summer evenings there could be a barbecue at one end of the beach serving simply grilled seafood and local produce.
Every evening though, the action moves from the open air into the dining room, where the chefs put on a show with the great quality local produce; there is also a supporting terrace for those who will not be dragged indoors at any price.
Starting with sun-dried tomatoes and chillies in a lime dressing, one could progress to Moroccan-style braised lamb shank on couscous, rounding off with Riesling-roasted peaches with cinnamon, star anise and mascarpone. The service is casual and friendly to suite the surroundings.
Serious ingredients and food with amazing views, all in all a wonderful place for uncomplicated and informal culinary enjoyment.

Norman West (17 November 2007)
We eat fairly regularly at Porthminster and look forward to the friendly casual atmosphere, excellent food and good wine at reasonable prices. We were always disappointed when it closed in October, now but it is open pretty well throughout. It is our first point of call when we take our visiting friends who totally are entranced with the place.

We went there in June as it was recommended. We had to be seated outside as we had booked late. It was a bit rain swept and chilly, but the staff had it all sorted with blankets and heaters - they couldn't have been more helpful. The food was fantastic and well worth the price tag. It is highly recommended.
