Silco Bar & Kitchen

Stopped off today, 20th February 2025. It opened @ 12 today. Nice lady said, "Sit anywhere." I think it seats about 14-18 inside & a few outside. While looking at the menu, I asked for a coffee. Sorry, no hot drinks today. That naffed me off! Were a group of 4 adults and 2 under 6 grandchildren. We ordered a wide selection on offer. We could see the chef preparing our lunch. WOW! What a stunning selection we made. After my disappointment of no hot drinks, our sumptuous meal put a smile on my face. You will be a total mug if you walk on by!

Such a lovely place with unique dishes we haven't tried before. The service is as top notch. And the view overlooking the harbour was amazing! We tried their larger and fresh mackerel with special fries with seaweed and some flat bread. Will surely recommend a visit here! Thanks for your service and hospitality

Worth checking out if you are in St Ives. Only found it using Google maps. The high review score caught my eye. The food is top drawer and you can tell it is prepared with love. The staff are excellent and there is a nice atmosphere. I had Lebanese spiced lamb. It was superb! My partner had Katsu chicken, which was equally good. I overheard a customer grumbling about the 10% service charge, which is automatically added to your bill. I see both sides on this; for me, it should be left to the customer. That aside there is nothing not to like. The draught beer called Slipway was excellent too.

Absolutely fantastic! It's our first time in Cornwall, so happy to have come across Silco during this weekend getaway. Such a great restaurant that's cozy with an easy menu. Every single dish was so delicious, and the staff were kind and friendly. We loved our experience, dining with a view of the harbour, watching the tides slowly come in as we savoured every tasty dish. Favourite was probably the fish curry which came with a nice piece of fish, and the curry and rice in a separate bowl. You can assemble your own bites and they sure were so so good. Highly recommend for everyone! (try to make a booking a day ahead of time) Next time we're in St Ives, we'll be back!

Incredible food in a stylish and modern atmosphere! A simple yet sophisticated menu, we went for the humus, crisp bread, Moroccan lamb, Katsu chicken and fries with truffle and Parmesan. Everything was absolutely delicious and served pretty quickly with a smile. Literally right on the seafront with a very small beach right next to it. Just the most idyllic setting. Highly recommend if you’re in St Ives.

This little restaurant is located at the end of the Wharf at St. ives. It has a lovely view overlooking the harbour just metres in front, with a cosy interior with light beech wood furniture and pastel walls that make's the small space feel open. The menu has a very small but varied selection suitable for every foodie, we opted for the following dishes; Singapore crab fries, Furikake fries. Baba ganoush, Massaman flatbread, Crispy cavolo nero, and Lebanese spiced lamb. Everything was EXECEPTIONAL, amazing ingredients cooked perfectly with layers of flavours on each dish, truly mouth-watering food. I expect everything on the menu is amazing and I would love to try more. We paired the food with a nice bottle of Rosé and ate every single morsel. The staff were great and knowledgeable. Will visit again next time I'm down this psrt of the world.

A wonderful little restaurant with great views over St Ives harbour. The cocktails were delicious, the food was super tasty and all of the staff were really friendly. A great spot that we'll definitely visit again.

A Culinary Gem in The Harbour Silco St Ives delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance, coupled with stunning harbour views, set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. We indulged in a variety of dishes, each one a delight to the senses. The fish curry was a standout, with its rich, aromatic flavours perfectly balanced by the delicate texture of the fish. The Cornish mackerel was a masterclass in freshness, with the charred skin adding a lovely smoky note that complemented the fish's natural sweetness. The halloumi was beautifully grilled, with a crispy exterior and a soft, melting interior, topped with a tangy, flavourful sauce that left us wanting more. And let's not forget the flatbread, which was the ideal companion to mop up every last drop of the delectable sauces. Every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and the quality of the ingredients. The presentation was impeccable, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. On top of the outstanding food, the service was warm and attentive, making us feel like cherished guests. Whether you're a local or just passing through St Ives, Silco is an absolute must-visit. We can't wait to return! Whenever we have baby sitters we always think about trying new places. But never do. Because why would you go anywhere else. The food is perfect and the cocktails are awesome.
