Our Story

Welcome to Tides - A Coastal Culinary Journey
 

Nestled along the stunning shoreline of St Ives, Cornwall, Tides is more than just a café—it's a celebration of coastal living. Our story began with a simple passion: to create a warm and inviting space where both locals and travelers can savor the best of Cornwall’s rich culinary heritage. At Tides, we believe in the power of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to craft dishes that truly embody the flavors of the sea.
 

From the moment you step into our sea-front café, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking views of the ocean, setting the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Our menu is a tribute to the coast, featuring an array of coastal-inspired dishes that highlight the bounty of the sea and the land. Each plate is carefully prepared to showcase the natural flavors of our ingredients, which are handpicked from local suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability.
 

At Tides, we take pride in offering more than just a meal. We strive to create an experience that captures the essence of our beautiful coastal surroundings—a place where the community comes together to enjoy good food, great company, and the serenity of the sea. Whether you're here for a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, or a delightful dinner, we invite you to join us on a culinary journey that celebrates the heart and soul of Cornwall.
 

Come and experience Tides, where every dish tells a story, and every visit feels like coming home.
