Square Meal review of Alba Restaurant:
Occupying a refurbished lifeboat building, Alba is a light & airy harbourside restaurant on two floors that’s an easy 10-minute walk from Tate St Ives. Though there’s usually a meat dish on offer, the restaurant is noted for its fresh fish, the cooking setting itself apart through attention to detail, accurate seasoning & optimum use of local ingredients. Even apparently simple assemblies make a strong impression – pappardelle pasta with Cornish blue lobster, tomato & basil, for example, or a starter of whisky-cured salmon with sweet mustard dressing. Other dishes might be monkfish cassoulet, or chorizo, smoked pancetta & haricot blanc, while you might finish with Cornish ewe’s milk yoghurt pannacotta , stewed English rhubarb & rhubarb sorbet.
