My favourite place in my favourite town, St Ives. Local and organic produce and Eco-conscious. Caters well for Vegans and burger lovers alike. Had their Sunflower. Yummy!!! Best chips I ever tried, fresh and crispy. Adore this place! Well worth the visit… Often!

Firstly, Blas doesn’t take reservations — which means you might be facing a queue, and with good reason too. Their food is superb. My 6yr old and I nipped in at 6:30PM on a recent trip to St Ives and couldn’t have been more impressed. The décor is trendy, the service is excellent and the food is excellent. The waitress found us some space tucked in the corner at a little bar area but we were seated in minutes. The menu is interesting and there are lots of ‘quirky’ GBK style things. Great if you like that sort of stuff but I’m a cheeseburger guy and that’s what I had. Rupert(the tiny taster) had a children’s burger, which was still £6 but he ate the lot — and he’s a burger aficionado. In short — this is a great place but expect to pay London prices for a premium burger. The real differentiator is their desire to do everything in the ‘right’ way. All of the décor is reclaimed, the meat is locally and organically sourced, even the cola is non-branded and made with agave nectar(instead of high-fructose corn syrup). My only complaint(more of an observation really) is that the music is quite loud — great for atmosphere but it was all a bit much for a very tired 6yr old. If you enjoy a good burger and you’re happy to pay for it then you must try out this trendy joint.

This is the best place in the UK for gourmet burgers! Fun and uncomplicated, with a strong bent for sustainable and local ingredients, these burgers will make you happy and fix your mortgage. I had the BBQ chicken burger and Erin had the black bean with corn salsa and guacamole.

This is not just a burger this is a blas burger Well these are some burgers prime cuts and the most flavoursome ingredients used they vege option is also worth a go even if your a meaty. The prices on average are quite pricey around £8.00 and this dosn’t come with chips, but well worth it. The décor is fab I sat a quirky table that was an old artist table that had been varished you could see all the paint through it. They are a company big into organic and recycling and all their produce is locally produced to keep the carbon footprint down they have all their suppliers marked on a map of Cornwall on the wall. A definate must go to.
