Bae Borth Deli Bar in Gwynedd

Eaten here on a number of occasions, everytime absolutely flawless, food is jawdropping, amazing location, amazing staff, dog friendly (we have big dogs) eat here as often as we can 😍

Amazing lunch with great views, seafood chowder was fantastic. Great service and such fresh ingredients, will def be back.

Wonderful setting. Owners / staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Cheese board was generous and delicious. Great selection of wines. 3rd visit in a week. Hopefully get back again before we leave.

Great little cafe bar with very friendly owners/staff & dog friendly too. We visited on a recommendation from the owners of our holiday cottage. It was a wet day so unfortunately we couldn’t sit outside & enjoy the view. We went in & were offered a table which gave our Lab some room. Menu for food & drink is on chalk boards around the room. I selected the Welsh Cheese Board & the husband selected a cheese & chutney sandwich, we also ordered 2 soft drinks. The drinks came quickly & we settled in to wait for our food. We chatted and re read the chalk boards. My eyes were taken to the wine board & I couldn’t resist a glass of Primitivo. The food came & the wine was ordered. I must say at this point, I didn’t take a picture as I always forget if the food looks good & this looked good. The cheese board had 3 large pieces of cheese, 2 chutneys, some olives, picked onion slices, slices of focaccia & some crostini. I dived in (picture taking well forgotten). The husband’s sandwich was made of focaccia stuffed with cheese & chutney & looked good. The food is excellent & the wine went down a treat too. All in all a very good experience that I will repeat & highly recommend.

Great wholesome food. Staff very helpful and attentive recommending local beers tried with our meal available back in Porthmadog. Throughly enjoyed the Welsh rarebit with kimchi and hubby enjoyed the mackerel. Yet to try the Canadian slice we bought home with us! Thank you so much 😊 we wish you every success in this beautiful part of the world.

A trip to Bae Borth was a real highlight of our Easter visit to Snowdonia. It’s different from the usual touristy fare - their menu is choc full of top quality (and v often local) ingredients cooked with care and I daresay a lot of love (it shines through). My husband and I had the smoked mackerel cobb salad which was absolutely delicious and the children shared a mezze plate (they kindly did a children-friendly version, no olives etc) - all plates were cleaned! We’re back to Snowdonia in July and can’t wait to return to Bae Borth, what a gem!

Wow amazing food fabulous staff and lovely afternoon spent watching the world go by keep doing what your doing so well awesome had cheese board Welsh rabbit and mezze but it all looked good Also has a great selection of beers and wines

Set in a beautiful location overlooking Borth-y-Gest harbour Bae Borth is a hidden gem. Not what you would expect from its name as it is more a bistro than either a deli or bar. They do have a selection of craft cheeses and ales plus other deli items but the crowning glory is their food. They are vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian focused without being obviously so which is brilliant. There is hint towards Nova Scotia with their chowder dishes or cups which I can highly recommend as addition to any meal off the menu. The three different dishes we had were generous and delicious and if we had more time we would have re-visited. Dont miss this tasty treat.

A real treat today for lunch. Not your average grub in a small village deli. Brilliant Welsh focused food with a few twists. Brilliant Welsh beer and Cider. Fantastic rarebit with the same Welsh beer and very tasty Nova Scotia chowder. I over did it and finished off with the Welsh cheeseboard. Fantastic location and wonderful service from the owners. A deli you should definitely seek out.

Having passed this place many times before, finally popped in for lunch today. Excellent veggie and fish deli choices and all freshly prepared. Definitely wil come back with family and friends.

We arrived unannounced, 4 of us and fortunately found a table at the window.. What a great view of Borth-y-Gest bay. It was raining heavily, so did not have the option of sitting outside. A lovely welcome from the owner. It was a very busy Sat afternoon. We were just after a glass of wine but also opted for a cheese board (all local cheeses) and pickles.. The menu looked vast considering the size of the bistro. Very dog friendly. The service was excellent.. Thank you..

Really nice atmosphere, slight wait for food which was communicated professionally and it certainly was not a problem as we enjoyed the afternoon sun sat outside in February! The coffee and food really were spot on as was the service, just the little things make a huge difference, a home made dog biscuit and the offer of fresh water……. Much appreciated & will be back

Jo and Charlie are amazing and they offer an excellent spread it’s a fantastic atmosphere we were up recently and popped in for lunch, the chowder, salmon bagel and Welsh-Rarebit. We also went back a second day and had prawn salad and cheese and chutney, whiled away the afternoon we also ate them out of cinnamon buns that week. I really can’t recommend this place enough, one to visit if you are anywhere near.

An outstanding deli bar run by an enthusiastic and welcoming couple. It is small and doesn’t take bookings. The presence of dogs on the terrace and the restaurant is very trying given that the spaces are small. Otherwise highly recommended. There ought to be a phone contact for checking whether they are open.

Great deli at Borth y Gest. We called on a lunchtime in August. The welcome was great. We had a coffee each and then decided to have some smallmplates of kale salad, potato salad and prawns with peppers and tomatoes . It was delicious. The views were spectacular and the food, service and welcome matched them.

Visited twice in one week. Very friendly welcoming owners, delicious exciting food, lovely wine! Looking forward to returning later in the year.

What a treat! Ordered a glass of chardonnay,a bottle of homemade lemonade and a cup of seafood chowder.Absolutely delicious chowder and lively drinks! Sat watching the world go by on the balcony outside.Extremely friendly staff Diolch o galon,wedi mwynhau yn arw!

I have never done 2 reviews on the same place but this one is worth it. The standards remain very high, all the food we have had is marvellous. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The views over the bay are ever changing with the weather and the Welsh Coastal Path is just outside so any overindulgence can be walked off!

This place is fantastic: location, view, food, beer, and people. Worth going out of your way for. Very accommodating to the unexpected arrival of a large group. Excellent coffee and great selection of Welsh beers expertly curated.

We just love this place! Delicious food including home made focaccia bread, baked goods, hummus & crackers, open sandwiches, cheese boards, chowders and gravlax salmon bagels! Lovely sweet desserts and Gawjus wines, IPA’s, ciders and beers (local ones available too!). We always get greeted by warm smiles, and excellent service. It’s lovely sitting outside overlooking Borth-y-Gest Beach. Heaven!

Superb all round , never placed a review before , just had to, definitely make this part of your go to places.

Amazing food , fresh, tasty and tasty unique , great service can’t wait to return , a definite must try , well done the deli , wish I could give you ten stars!!!

The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. They make their own focaccia, and the one with brie, pesto and tomatoes is delicious. Even their dog treats are homemade!

Wow. What a little gem of a deli. We wandered and found this place. The food was excellent as was the service and location ❤️ We will back for sure.

Had a lovely lunch here today. Really nice place with a nice menu. Husband loved his Welsh Rarebit and my prawns were lovely. Nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc too. Will definitely be back. Made a visit to hospital worth while.

If you've ever wonder what Welsh / Nova Scotian fusion food would be like, this is a good place to find out! Specialising in Welsh cheeses, it is lovely in the summer with the bifold doors opening over a priceless view over the bay. In...

I had the cheeseboard. Several varieties all absolutely delicious. My friends had the chowder which was a large dish full of fish. White wine was very fruity and good value for money. Lots of choice for sandwiches etc. we will be back and soon.

Local produce dominates this lovely new cafe/bar . Great selections of local cheeses and drinks, plus delicious small plates beautifully prepared. A lovely friendly atmosphere- will certainly be back.

The Moorings was one of our favourite ever restaurants, so we were nervous that Bae Borth would be disappointing. We had a lovely surprise though! The new owners are super friendly and clearly know what they're doing. Home made breads, gorgeous local produce - we...
