1085 Bistro in Gwynedd

The food, hospitality and drink were excellent! I had soup and garlic bread, all delicious. My wife had mushroom en croute and vegetables, which was similarly tasty. Recommend it heavily, cool posters too!!

Lovely little restaurant, basic but cosy. We had a table by the window looking at the mountains, really nice. Great service, nothing was too much trouble. I had the cod which was amazing with light and crispy batter, only complaint was that it was frozen chips as opposed to ‘fresh’ ones. My husband had steak which was much bigger than the advertised 8oz. It was cooked to perfection but he said there was quite a bit of fat on it. Huge portions of both meals. Overall great food and service!

We were recommended this place by Steffan, the landlord of 51 years at the pub which sits at the base of Snowdon (Llanberis route), and we are SO glad we went! The food (in particular their freshly caught cod) was exceptional, and the service equally as impressive. You’ll be in good hands if you visit… added bonus of a pool table in the bar across the hallway! Wish we could have stayed longer, will definitely be back. Thanks David and team!!!

Dave was very friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent. Just what we needed after a long day up Snowdon. Definitely recommend.

Excellent meal at a lovely spot. Had the double gourmet burger. Big portion! Service was spot on. Dave was friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Will visit again.

Very limited out of season menu however what we all had was very nice and very hot. Presume pre made as it came out so quick. One of our napkins was already quite dirty which put me off a bit and my beer tasted off. Not sure if it was the glass, the pipes, the beer but it was the local lager which I also had elsewhere and was lovely. Went to the bar afterwards which is a bit of a godforsaken place.

We had dinner here after climbing Snowdon earlier in the day. Have to say the food was great, really tasty mains and desert which we really enjoyed. Good value for money and decent sized portions too. However, the service from the waiting team was pretty poor. We were told to find a table on arrival but left without menus for nearly 10 minutes, we weren't in a rush so didn't mind waiting a bit but we felt as though we'd been forgotten about having to wait a long time to order etc. When we had long finished dinner and wanted to order pudding, we had to wander around the restaurant to find someone (who was only standing around chatting to a colleague) to take our order. None of the tables had been cleared and whilst we were there one of the young waiters spilt and entire pint of beer on a customer at another table - obviously accidents happen but the staff didn't seem to do much to help clear it up, dry them off or apologise. This could be a really great restaurant -its a nice place to sit down for a meal with a reasonably priced menu and great tasting food, they just need to work on their customer service!

Excellent food, fantastic service and staff really helpful! Highly recommend! There were 50+ of us and it was excellent! We will be back. Cath x

The place is near one of the most beautiful snowdonia trails. Convenient parking, Good food, reasonable prices, very nice staff

Thank you David and staff for fitting in our large group at the very short notice. The simple burger menu was excellent and the staff very accomodating. A lovely friendly atmosphere, recommended!

Dave and staff gave us a great all round experience Very family friendly and great quality food. One more veggie or vegan option would be welcome. Cheerful and kind staff. Thank you for a great evening!

Great food, great service and Dave the manager couldn't have been more helpful. A Must visit when you're in the area.

Food was absolutely delicious! We had such a good night :) Everytime in Llanberis always try and visit, the best breakfast in Llanberis 😀 Dave is amazing and friendly, really accomodating. Would not be the same without him! Everyone needs a DAVE! ❤️

Great place for a big group. Dave the manager was really accommodating for our group of 16! He was so helpful and friendly and the food came out quickly. Good food and great location. Good kids menu and unexpected kids play area which kept the younger children entertained

Dave was fab! Made us laugh from the off. Great service and great food! Will definitely come back if we are ever back in the area. If you go for the chocolate cake and ice cream you won’t be disappointed!

Dropped in here very last minute as we just got back down to the car from climbing Snowdon. Extremely friendly and the food was brilliant, especially for the price. Other places charging so much more for something similar or worse. Would definitely recommend this.

We were given a lovely warm welcome, the room and bathroom were clean and tidy. I cannot reccomend the beds and pillows, they have hypoallergenic pillows and the beds are extremely comfortable! Dave is a lovely kind fellow who kindly allowed my friend and I to borrow some towels as we went Paddle boarding on Sunday. This was very kind. The food is exceptional! My steak was cooked beautifully and the breakfast buffet had delicious variety. All meals were served hot and fast!! There is access to parking front and back! One night we were a little cold and asked for the heating to be turned on this was done instantly. The hotel is situated in a quiet area with small shops around. The bus stop to climb to Snowdon is just outside the hotel and the train station is a mere 5 minutes walk. LOVED THE STAY WE WILL BE BACK 😃😃

We stayed at the hotel. Food was brilliant a generous after a long drive there. Hosted by Dave who really looked after us. Even when they’d sold out of the bicoff cheesecake.. some ice cream on the house was a lovely touch Highly recommend

David and all his fellow staff were very accommodating in making a last minute booking for about 13 people when we were let down by a neighbouring pub/hostel. We had a burger menu which was very good with vegan/vegetarian options and excellent potato fries. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the staff particularly David excellent. Everyone left the evening feeling very satisfied with a great night out.

Great service with a smile. The manager, Dave, fitted us in at the last minute as a group of 15. The vegan curry was excellent.

From the minute we walked in to the time we left, we felt like valued customers. Staff were attentive, polite, professional and helpful. The restaurant was spacious and, although busy, didn't feel crowded or overly loud. Dinner was great...the chef certainly knows how to cook...

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Beautiful burger! Highly recommend. Great location after a Snowden climb too

Dave the manager was unbelievably friendly. Wonderful food and great atmosphere. Been given a secret route up Snowdonia where a shadow of a Welsh dragon wraps around the mountains. Five star

Had a great meal as a big group of us. Dave the manager took great care and told us all about the local walks and the stories of Arthur and the dragon. Great food and great service. Would recommend

Enjoyed an evening meal with four friends, we all had a grand experience. Two vegetarians well catered for, all food was delicious, drinks reasonably priced, staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

A big group of us went after walking Snowdon. It was perfect. Lovely food, great service from all the staff. Dave was great, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.

Not a wide ranging menu. Mainly a couple of burgers and other pub food. The food they did was very tasty though and good value at the price

The staff were wonderful! I was eating on my own as I am in the area for work and the staff really made me feel welcomed and engaged in lovely conversation with a great sense of humour. I had a delicious but absolutely huge burger...
