Ugly Butterfly, nestled in a stunning setting just a short distance from St. Ives, beckons lovers seeking an extraordinary Valentine’s Day experience. With sweeping views of the Carbis Bay coastline, this restaurant and bar offers more than just a meal — it’s a sensory journey.
Chef Adam Handling, renowned for his culinary prowess, infuses Ugly Butterfly’s ethos with British flavours inspired by Cornwall. The magic lies in locally-sourced, quality ingredients that transform into beautifully-presented dishes. Waste is a foreign concept here; every part of the ingredients finds purpose. From signature snacks to tantalizing mains, the Valentine’s tasting menu promises an unforgettable feast. Imagine savouring ‘Mackerel, rhubarb, kohlrabi,’ ‘Stone bass, broccoli, roasted bone,’ and ‘Yorkshire duck, parsnip, honey’ – each morsel a celebration of Cornish bounty.
For those seeking a lighter indulgence, the Ugly Butterfly team crafts a specialty Valentine’s afternoon tea. Picture ‘Trout, fennel, dill,’ ‘St. Ewe egg mayonnaise sandwich,’ and sweet delights like ‘Ruby white, rhubarb, meadowsweet’ and ‘White chocolate, Champagne, apple.’ As you sip tea, the backdrop of Carbis Bay’s beauty envelops you.
Free-flowing bubbles add sparkle to your celebration. Opt for the Champagne afternoon tea or revel in the classic version. Either way, love will linger in the air.
Whether you’re toasting with Rosé or indulging in afternoon tea, Ugly Butterfly awaits – a haven where love and flavour intertwine.
