Sundowner Cafe

Fabulous bright restaurant overlooking a beautiful beach. Attentive, friendly and excellent service throughout a wonderful relaxing lunch. This restaurant prides itself on attention to detail by very smart waiting staff. We had pizza and pasta and a kids meal well presented and flavoursome. Lovely ambience and background music, just a shame about the usual rubbish weather! Only negative drinks are very expensive, but then you’re paying for the location. Already looking forward to our next visit!

The Beach Cafe, which has always been great, has undergone a refurbishment and now boasts a fantastic new menu. The attentive staff and delicious food made for a wonderful experience. Our party of four enjoyed dishes such as BBQ Hake, Beef and Lamb ragout, and two incredible burgers. Live music added to the ambiance as we sipped on local Cornish white wine and soft drinks. The evening was amazing, with stunning views. Highly recommend checking it out.

You’re paying for the location . Way over priced £24 for a burger and few fries . £4 small bottle of coke . £12.95 child’s meal !!!!Can go to 5 state hotel in wales Celtic manor and get burger and fries for £16 ! Service really slow and had to wait a while for drinks and macaroni cheese to go with 1 meal . Service charge automatically added £16! I should have asked for it to be taken off . I would not visit this restaurant again way over priced for a mediocre meal which definitely was the best !!

We eat here regularly when on holiday in St Ives and frequently order the Greek pizza (but minus the olives) which on every other occasion has always arrived really hot, just how we like it. On this occasion, we could see the pizzas ready on the counter but there was a delay bringing them to us as it looked like the olives had been included and the chef was having to remove them on instruction from the waiter. So, when they eventually arrived, the pizzas were not as hot as usual and it wasn't long before they cooled down so we called a waiter, a bald man with a beard, who struggled to grasp what we we were telling him had happened, and didn't appear that happy about what we were asking him to do. He took them away to heat up and whilst they were a bit hotter when they came back, it didn't really last and they were at best luke warm by the time we had finished. We couldn't detect any apology when they came back to us but it was difficult to understand what the waiter was saying. The trouble on the night appeared to be that there wasn't any of the normal senior waiting staff on duty, only that bald man and a tall slim man who was more polite, so there was nobody to supervise when something was obviously going wrong. It was disappointing given the food we had there on previous occasions was always plenty hot enough but what was more disappointing was that the waiter didn't seem to appreciate properly what we were complaining about.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for lunch! The view was stunning and the atmosphere was lovely. The waitress was very attentive and provided recommendations on the area. The food was delicious as well!
