Places to Eat in Carbis Bay
Carbis Bay packs a lot of places to eat into a relatively small area. There are definitely advantages to eating outside of St Ives: there tend to be more garden and terrace tables for al fresco lunches or summer evenings, and most places to eat have car parks. From fine dining to a casual lunch or coffee, you’ll find plenty of choice when it comes to pubs and restaurants in Carbis Bay.
Carbis Bay restaurants
You can find all sorts of wonderful places to eat in Carbis Bay. The Bean Inn is a brilliant veggie and vegan restaurant, and if you like authentic Mediterranean, book a table at the friendly La Casita. Because it wouldn’t be a trip to the seaside without fish and chips, Becks (on the way to Lelant) is the perfect way to end the day.
Cafes in Carbis Bay
For wholesome daytime treats, including freshly prepared salads and homemade cakes, Yvette’s Pantry is a delightful vegetarian and vegan café in the heart of Carbis Bay. Romano’s is another local favourite: a traditional Italian deli and trattoria with fantastic coffee, charcuterie and pastries which also offers evening meals.
Restaurants at the Carbis Bay Hotel
Food down at the Bay itself is dominated by the Carbis Bay Hotel, which owns the beach and its various shops and cafes. Inside the Victorian main hotel building, there’s the elegant Orangery, or try the more informal Beach Club restaurant, which is just above the sands. For a (very) special occasion, book a table at the Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling.
Carbis Bay pubs
Looking for a cold pint of Rattler on a warm day? The Cornish Arms on the St Ives side of Carbis Bay is a good place for a pitstop. If you’re after a meal, book into gastropub The Gannet, which serves high-end but hearty pub classics.
Supermarkets in Carbis Bay
Carbis Bay is home to the only supermarket in the St Ives area. The Tesco superstore is located on the road heading out of Carbis Bay towards St Ives.
