Winter dining in St Ives

When the evenings are dark and cold, it's tempting to enjoy a takeaway and cosy up in your self-catering apartment. However, heading out for the evening to taste some of the amazing food St Ives restaurants have to offer must not be missed - and there is plenty to choose from. Whether you are after a romantic meal for two, a family dinner or a night out with friends, St Ives is home to a variety of well-loved and amazing-tasting meals for all.
