Bistro Bermo in Gwynedd

We had Sunday lunch here today and it was really fabulous. Lovely decor, warm, friendly welcome and really great food. We will definitely come back and the price was very reasonable too. Certainly one of the best places that we have found in this area.

What can I say but WOW. Food out of this world, staff very friendly and can’t do enough for you, great atmosphere. First time to the restaurant on Thursday night but won’t be the last. Well worth a visit.

Great little Bistro! We have eaten here many times and just love the food and the Owners. Welsh rack of lamb is always delicious. Very highly recommended.

Visited as a party of 5 for the first time and will definitely be back. This is a small restaurant which feels cosy and inviting. It offers excellent service and outstanding food which we all enjoyed.

We recently stayed in Barmouth for a weekend with my Mother-in-law and her sister and chose Bistro Bermo for dinner on the Friday night. It was superb. There homemade sourdough bread was very tasty which was served whilst we were choosing. 3 of the group tried the Halibut which was a special that evening and I had the Fillet Steak. All dishes were cooked to perfection. Everyone had a dessert and I sampled the Welsh cheeses. We would definitely go back. The food was fantastic and the staff were also so friendly and welcoming. We were served by Nest and Orla.

Went for a meal Saturday night, this place did not disappoint. The prawn starter was incredible. The Wellington was incredible. The Bravas was incredible, the staff were superb 👏 I genuinely cannot wait to visit again

Super little restaurant in the heart of Barmouth. Beautifully presented, fresh and high quality food, all served with charm in a cosy and relaxing setting.

I have been many times & never get tired of this restaurant the hosts are amazing the service is brilliant & not forgetting the food which is the best I've tried, with excellent value for money

We have lived in the area for 7 years and only just discovered this lovely restaurant. The food was amazing, the staff were lovely, and welcoming. We will visit again soon. Thank you.

Delicious food wonderful service what a lovely place to eat Totally recommend this place 😋😋

Also the best place to eat in Barmouth! Very personal service and exceptional food.

We went for dinner at Bistro Bermo last night It is THE BEST food we have had. The dishes are delicious, the ingredients are of high quality and the family that run the restaurant are truly talented as are the rest of the team. We are already booked in again.

A fabulous little restaurant with very attentive service . The Duck parfait starter and Goats cheese with figs and honey were divine as was the melt on the mouth fillet steak . We will definitely return on our next trip to Barmouth .

We were recommended to go here during our few days in Barmouth and I’m so glad that we did . Not a huge space but very friendly feel to it . The food was outstanding.

Whenever we visit Barmouth we make a point of eating here. A small, intimate restaurant with attentive but not overwhelming service. The food is amazing. All locally sourced and, being a fishing port, the fish is superb. A London quality restaurant but without the London prices.

Had a fantastic meal at the Bistro Bermo in Barmouth last night. Everything was cooked to perfection from the Steak to the vegetables and the Steak Diane sauce was excellent. Not had such a good Quality meal, fresh, homemade and full of flavour for years. Truly perfect and exceptional. A brilliant Chef. Husband had the beef wellington and I had the Fillet Steak for mains. The service was also great. Thank you 😊

Very tasty food in a nice restaurant with friendly service. Lots of Gluten Free options and a good wine list.

Really delicious, interesting food! Definitely worth a visit (but book ahead!)

We had dinner on July 24, 2024. Best dinner so far during our trip in Wales. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Very bad because they stole the Malvinas from my beautiful country, Argentina.

Lovely, friendly, small and informal restaurant serving outstanding food at a reasonable price. My partners favourite was the sea bass, mine was the heavenly chocolate cheesecake with ice-cream; so good!

Arrived on a windy rainy evening, after travelling some distance. My partner Sue had booked the previous evening, for a 6 p.m table. We arrived at 5.55 p.m. to a full crowded room. We gave the lady front of house our details and she said oh yes Sue. She then asked the couple on the nearest table to us what time they had booked for. I think his name was Dan and he had obviously just arrived because he like us had just arrived out of the rain. He said 6.p.m and stated he had a email confirming his booking. Which is completely fair. The front of house then turned round to Sue and said I am sorry I have made a cock up ( her exact words ) which left us with no option but to go out in the rain again. I urge anyone foolish enough to book this establishment, to get it confirmed by email or text. On entering the room we could see that it was extremely tight seating, barely room to move around. I have had to give one star to get this published, otherwise it would be zero.

Booked as seen some very good reviews. Made very welcome straight away. The menu certainly had many more dishes than when we looked on line. I rang the Bistro to book and had a great conversation with the owner and we acknowledge this as we were leaving. Food was amazing, service was wonderful and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I had prawns in filo pastry and my partner had the haddock with a poached egg as a starter and both were delicious. Mains we had sea bass and duck. Both were divine and very well presented. Can’t rate this bistro high enough. Please do visit !

Arrived on a wet windy evening, we had booked the previous evening. The lady front of house asked for our details, looking round the room it was obvious all tables were occupied. She asked the table nearest to us what time they had booked for, he informed her he had a email confirmation. She then said to us there must have been a cockup ( her exact words ) We were left with no option but to leave out into the rain after traveling some distance. I would suggest if you are foolish enough to book here, get a written confirmation. eg the room is extremely small, not much room to move ( sardine can springs to mind ) had to give 1 star to get this published.

We had a wonderful evening meal here. My son and I had melt in the mouth steaks and our companion had rack of lamb which she very much enjoyed. Veggies came in a separate dish and were perfectly cooked. Not hard and not over done. I had creme brulee for dessert, son had cheesecake, and our 3rd had grilled pineapple. All 3 were delicious. Service was excellent, not hovering but around when needed. A wonderful relaxed meal. Definitely a highlight of our stay. Thank you.

We have been staying in Barmouth for the 4 days in June and based on reviews, menu etc we decided to book in advance for Friday evening. There is only one word for this amazing restaurant.... WOW !. Everything from the service (the lady who served us was lovely,very caring and attentive as was everyone in the restaurant), the food was out of this world and the best meal we've had in a very long time. All I can say is,if you're in Barmouth pre- book this restaurant well in advance and go. We will be back very soon x.

Lovely welcome, interesting menu, good service and delicious food. We will certainly be back on our regular visits to Barmouth. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Lovely food and great service, and nice intimate bistro atmosphere. I had a half lobster and my wife had baked salmon. They offer a little slate with home baked bread, pat of herby butter and a cheese/olive on a stick amuse geule. Nice. Definitely going back!

Lovely welcome, beautiful home cooked food. Booked again whilst we were there!

We had a Sunday Dinner as a takeaway for a family of 7. For two courses the price was extremely reasonable. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were spot on. 5* dining in your own home … whats not to love!

First time visiting this quaint bistro. Food absolutely amazing, staff friendly and attentive. Plenty of choice on the menu. Will definitely be visiting again x

The food was absolutely delicious! But more importantly, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Cannot recommend the bistro enough. Thank you!

Fabulous place, lovely food and a splendid atmosphere. I'd certainly go back next time we're in town x

Our first visit here. Earlier this evening Saturday 16 March 24, my husband and I, along with our great friends, had an excellent meal. We all chose chicken supreme with king prawns for main course. Accompanied by a good selection of fresh vegetables and delicious chips. Really, we were rather full, BUT, we wanted to try a dessert. All 4 of us chose different ones and every one was delightful and a very nice generous portion. Staff very nice and Jose came to ask if everything was okay We said very enjoyable and we would dine there again. I did suggest that the plates could have been warmer. 😃 Thank you

This is a very friendly bistro - charming staff and cozy seating. The food was excellent; tasty, beautifully served and excellent value.

We were recommended this delightful place by the manager of our hotel, which was just a couple of doors away. We were not disappointed! This place is a little piece of food heaven. The attention to detail, the fresh ingredients and the presentation were excellent. The prices are on the high side but they're competitive against other fine dining in the area and we found it excellent value. Not only is the food fabulous, so are the staff. When we arrived, it was early evening and no one was there. Nest gave us a really warm greeting and made us feel like they'd opened just for us. She answered all our curious questions about the menu and confidently told us how amazing the food is. We realised why she was so confident when the food arrived...delicious! Nest really is a credit to the restaurant. She gave us just the right amount of attention even when other customers arrived. Before we left, we booked a table for the following night, something we've never done anywhere before! Another amazing meal. We very highly recommend! Just one thing to remember when you go...you can't tip by card so please take some cash because uou will definitely want to tip. Thanks Nest and the whole team for two wonderful dining experiences!!

Worth booking fabulous sunday lunch

Excellent food and service. Nice to see high standards are still there !

Had an amazing meal last night, we both had rack of lamb which was delicious, the mash and spinach were also delicious,I had chocolate parfait my partner had crème brûlée ….. yep you guessed it delicious, highly recommend it

We dined here last night as we have wanted to try for a while now and so glad we did. Food was fantastic from start to finish.. so delicious!! We had the beef bruschetta to start, pan fried salmon for main and the baileys cheesecake to share after!! The 2 ladies were very friendly and looked after us well. It’s a small place but the friendly cosy atmosphere makes up for it. Thank you we will come again and thanks again for looking after us!!

Bistro Bermo is as always the most perfect place for an authentic intimate dining experience in Barmouth. The attention to detail and the freshness of the ingredients used in the daily specials and main menu throughout is inspiring and absolutely delicious. Their wine list and seasonal menus are chosen with thought and creativity. Not forgetting the most perfect hostess, whose genuine warmth and knowledge means you want to return again and again to sample the delights and atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful evening, see you all soon.

A beautiful romantic vibe and another delightful Valentine”s meal at Bistro Bermo. All of the staff are charming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble here. Had the most delicious plant based meal despite not being on the menu. The portions are huge, never walked away from this place hungry or disappointed. Highly recommend and what's also great you are supporting a small family run business.

As with every time we visit the food was amazing. The service is also outstanding. So glad they survived Covid and the standards have remained high. We visited pre covid and twice in the last 4 months when we stay in Dolgellau on Holiday. It is always a high point of the holiday. Congratulations on maintaining such a high excellence with food and service. Very highly recommended.

Took my husband for his birthday, we had Sunday lunch and it was beautiful. Very tasty with the right amount of food, could tell it was fresh vegetables and meat. The lady was lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return when in Barmouth next.

It was our first visit in Bistro Bermo,but definitely not a last one. Great service,atmosphere, and off course delicious food made us definitely come back here next time stay in Barmouth. Personally I can recommend Breaded rack of lamb with ratatouille, saffron marsh & port sauce,best I've ever ate. Thank you Bistro Bermo, will be back soon.

A warm welcoming atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented food, which went well with a good Pinot Noir. We had Rack of Lamb and Duck Breast mains with King Prawn salad and Smoked Haddock starters, I'm sure the sweets were good too but we found two courses each plenty. We've had a lovely takeaway Sunday Lunch in the past. The other diners seemed as happy as we were. A little gem of a bistro in this small coastal town.

Lovely little place with welcoming staff, food was spot-on and very good value for money, highly recommend if your ever in the area!

Ok, we're back again in Barmouth and couldn't resist visiting this superb bistro - in fact we ate here twice in four days. On both occasions, the starters were interesting and tasty. For our main courses we tried the Monkfish, Beef Wellington, Venison and Lamb. I like Monkfish but it's extremely easy to over-cook it (have done it myself on many occasions!) - the Monkfish served in Bistro Bermo was so tender it was probably the best I have ever eaten. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Beef Wellington although she did find it a little on the large side - it was a very generous portion. As per previous visits, the front of house staff are friendly, helpful and make you feel very welcome. We tried a bottle of the excellent Albarino - a quality wine at a very reasonable price. This bistro is quite small and is extremely popular with locals so booking is probably essential (even in the off season). Will definitely be returning next year.

10/10 Again on beautiful food and wonderful service. Had an amazing night and the food was cooked to perfection.

wow what a hidden gem the food is to die for, you have to book your space early to avoid disappointment very busy little place the staff are very polite and hard working can't wait to go back again,

Another lovely meal . Nine months since we have been lucky enough to reserve a table when we were in Barmouth. We were not disappointed. Thank you.

We ate here last night and it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten! I had the goats cheese tartlet and my partner had the bruschetta and for main course we both had beef wellington. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert. The food and service were perfect and the restaurant is really lovely. Thank you so much, we had a fabulous evening!

Just perfect, lovely menu , friendly staff and very tasty food. It has taken me so long to get a booking but we would certainly return just so special. The portions are a good size and beautifully cooked

Me and my girlfriend have just had the most incredible meal tonight...everything was fantastic but Janet's steak and my beef Wellington was truly out of the world...I wouldn't eat anywhere else in Barmouth... Memorable.

Very small intimate little place that's gives a great punch. Lovely owner so friendly and has time for you, and the food just wow had the most amazing steak . We will be driving up from the mids over Christmas just to comeback. Just well done guys amazing

Lovely intimate restaurant. The best food in Barmouth by far. Other places menus look good but clearly can’t cook. This chef knows what he’s doing. The monkfish, chicken and freshly caught lobster were to die for. The service is discreet but really professional. Friendly and makes you want to return… and we will as we visit the area often.

Friendly service. The food was excellent. We had Sunday lunch. The gravy was excellent. Everything tasted freshly cooked

On a recent trip to Barmouth we pre-booked this restaurant based on the reviews we had read and we are glad we did. The place does not look particularly exiting from outside but we received a warm welcome and we were treated to an exceptional meal. We skipped the starters looking forward to dessert instead. My wife chose the Rack of lamb in mustard & herb crust with red wine sauce. I went for the Lemon roasted chicken supreme with garlic prawns, slow roasted onion & peppers with basil dressing. Both dishes were served with carrots,French beans, broccoli and potatoes. We also decided to try the Patatas bravas as a side dish. Although the meals included vegetables we were not sure if they included one of our favourite Spanish dishes so we added them to the meal. We drank the La Caban Viognier accompanied by a bottle of tap water. For dessert my wife had Classic cream brûlée with raspberries and I had a combination of Blackcurrant and coconut sorbet Everything about the meal was superb. Delicious, well prepared food with excellent service made the whole experience truly memorable. I expected a hefty bill at the end of such a lovely meal but was pleasantly surprised to have to pay just £88.50. Service charge is not included in the bill which is a refreshing change from the practice in many restaurants. Having said that such good, efficient and helpful service deserves reward. We will certainly book this place again when visiting the area and would recommend it as a place to try but remember to book in advance.

What a little gem. I think they can seat 16 people max. We were lucky to get the last available table. The menu is fairly short but well constructed and the food, beautifully cooked. We had a charcuterie board to share, monkfish and cod. The “chips” are stunning. The lady who serves on, (she must own it) was absolutely brilliant in the way she handled the evening. She made it look effortless and we all know that it isn’t. Top place!

We had a fantastic meal here tonight - the service was spot on and the food was stunning. It was a very relaxed evening and we didn’t feel at all rushed at any point. The steak was cooked to perfection and the risotto was the best I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be back next year when we’re back in Barmouth! We hadn’t gone prepared with a tip, but as it was so deserved we’ll make sure we get it to them somehow. A thoroughly enjoyable evening - thank you!

Very intimate restaurant with fabulous food. This was our 2nd visit this year, and it didn't disappoint. You need to book well in advance. Varied menu, all beautifully cooked and presented and good value. Will definitely visit again.

We have visited this restaurant 3 times. First 2 visits we really enjoyed but our last visit we didn't enjoy so much. Starters were ok but my husband and I both had cod loin for our main. It was cooked beautifully but there wasn't much...

Very unique restaurant. This was our fifth visit and it never fails to please!! Fantastic food and services

We would just like to thank the Chef and all the team everything was absolutely fantastic! We could arguably say this was the best meal we have had in a long time! Very highly recommend! Wished we’d booked for more than one night!! Truly was...

Incredible food, service and ambience. Lovely anniversary meal. Couldn’t fault a thing. We had an amazing evening. Thank you, we will be retuning

Lovely food with attentive and friendly service. Cute little bistro, approx 16 covers so best to book ahead.

Superb on every front. Looked up where we could dine out and Bistro Bermo was top of the list. A very small restaurant with limited covers. Book in advance as it is fully booked. Good menu selection and food is well prepared and presented. Octopus was a special starter , excellent. Couldn't fault anything.

What a wonderful little place this is. We shared 2 starters; a wonderful pate, and octopus and chorizo. Both extremely good. For mains, I had the rack of lamb, and my friend had the Tuna steak. Both meals were beautifully presented and tasted superb. The service was friendly and efficient, and I can whole heartedly recommend this place.

A wonderful intimate restaurant serving the most delicious food and at surprisingly reasonable prices. It is quite a small restaurant, but this helps to create a cosy and romantic atmosphere. Due to the compact size, places are limited, and you will almost certainly need to...

Lovely food, intimate atmosphere and top-notch service. Couldn’t fault it and pleasantly surprised by the bill at the end.

We visited the Bistro as a group of 15 friends. Throughout our evening we received excellent service and incredibly delicious food. We all said we would make this a regular booking. Looking forward to our next visit 🥰

We have had a week of amazing culinary experiences in Merioneth and the highlight was a meal in Bistro Bermo on Tuesday. Great food, great service and very reasonably priced for such good quality. We will make a beeline for Bistro Bermo next time we’re...

Although there were 7 of us Bermo fitted us in. Service was excellent and so pleasant and welcoming and the food was superb!!!! Would definitely recommend this delightful little restaurant

The starters are big and great value for money . The quality and taste is amazing . The mains are beautifully delivered and the tastes again . I had monk fish , it was beautiful. Unfortunately no room for dessert 😳.

This bijoux bistro is a true gem, the food is beyond delicious and full of flavour and presented with love. The vegan and vegetarian options are equally as considered and full of flavour. Nothing is too much trouble for this wonderful and friendly team and...

Wow! Small but elegant restaurant in the heart of Barmouth. (Book in advance) Absolutely amazing food. Started with the lobster bisque and the toasted goat cheese, very flavorful. For mains we decided with the duck (stupidly good) and cooked perfectly, the juices was mouthwatering. We also had the sea bass, which was a good size and delicious. Ended the night with the crème brûlée which was awfully good. 😊We were surprised & honoured to meet the owners, Jose who did the cooking and his wife served us. Wonderful people and could have talked to them all night, you can tell what this restaurant means to them. Can’t wait to be back. Jamie & Mary.

Fabulous food in a small and intimate restaurant. Brilliant menu and the flavours were beautiful. I had the Hake and my husband had the lemon chicken…couldn’t fault it. You need to book as very popular

This is the best meal I’ve had in a very long time. The lobster bisque was on the specials menu and an absolute winner. Everything was cooked and presented beautifully and even the house salad was fabulous. It’s a small restaurant of six tables so...

As always the food and full experience is totally amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team at Bistro. We will be back soon.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food, amazing service, one of the nicest restaurants I’ve been to. Would absolutely recommend.

We made a restaurant reservation one day in advance. It is a tiny place with 7 tables, felt quite crowded. The interior had three fans running, but it was still uncomfortably warm. Without a reservation, it would have been challenging to secure a table. For our appetizers, we ordered pan-fried king scallops and chicken liver. The chicken liver had an exquisite, smooth texture, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It received top marks as an appetizer. Moving on to the main course, we opted for monkfish and an 8oz steak. Although the monkfish had a pleasing texture, it lacked any distinct flavor, which was disappointing. It felt like a missed opportunity to savor a flavorful dish. As for the steak, which I requested to be cooked medium-rare, it was slightly overdone and showed signs of being aged. This aspect left us somewhat dissatisfied with the main course. We approached the service staff to inquire about the lack of flavor in the monkfish. They consulted with the chef and offered to prepare a fresh portion for us, but we declined the offer. Despite the attentive service, overall, it was a dining experience that fell short of our expectations.

Ordered seabass with a caper and white wine sauce came with no sauce . When I mentioned it I was told there was caper butter on it they was no capers on my plate . Haven't said that my husbands meal was lovely.

We called in on the off chance on Saturday evening, the easy options on the promenade had either stopped serving food or were fully booked. They managed to squeeze us in, and we were not disappointed, lovely meal fillet steak, welcomed with soft bread and butter and olive oil. Friendly welcoming staff. We booked for Thursday evening, I had the rack of lamb finishing off with the raspberry creme brûlée, again a beautiful meal. Will be back, when in the area. Jeff and Lorraine.❤️

Lovely food and place! I'll definitely recommend it!

Incredible food (highly recommend the risotto), and just as wonderful service - I sadly didn’t get the name of the lovely waitress who served us but we were there for dinner on 15th June 2023 and the service was just brilliant.

Simply outstanding food & service. Need to book well in advance but well worth the planning as the overall quality is second to none

We first dined at Bistro Bermo when on a pre-covid holiday and we were keen to dine there on this return trip. It was great! The menu was extensive and we found it difficult to chose, given so many great-sounding options. The food, which arrived...

Excellent service with wonderful food.

The best food ever! Cannot recommend this amazing restaurant enough- we have visited (many times) as a couple, as a group of 6 and had takeaway. Both Sunday menu and evening dinner menus are creative and provide excellent choices of high quality food cooked to...

Good food, service excellent. Recommend it.

It was slightly crowded when I entered the pub but the food and drink were enjoyable, except I rejected the new potatoes as I'm not a fan of them

We wanted to visit Bistro Bermo when we visited Barmouth in August 2022 but it was fully booked so when we visited at Easter I made sure I had booked several weeks in advance and glad I had because they were fully booked and were...

Best food from Barmouth! We had Easter lunch, was delicious, 5 stars, the meal cooked perfectly, very tasty , the staff lovely! Thank you for this beautiful day! We already miss your food!!! Highly recommend! Have been in other places over the years, but nothing compares with Bistro Bermo! Can't wait to see you again! Thank you!❤️

Absolutely sensational environment, small cute, trendy. Only a few tables, attention to detail. Fabulous food and attentive staff. Exceptional and worth it. Well done 👏 x Thankyou

We were lucky enough to get a table and the whole experience was wonderful. The restaurant was quite small but the service was excellent and attentive. There was plenty of variety on the menu and wine list. Would definitely recommend if you can get a...

Wonderful cooking with a comfortable ambiance. The staff were superb and very friendly. We really enjoyed eating here and it is well recommended.

Having looked around Barmouth for a special place to enjoy a Birthday meal, we stumbled upon Bistro Bermo. As it was late they had stopped service, but kindly said they would carry on for us. All I can say is wow. The service was wonderful,...

Had a wonderful evening at Bistro Bermo. The food was high quality and very tasty, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I recommend this restaurant 100%!
