Bwyty Friars Restaurant in Gwynedd

Called for a drink, friendly leading us to the table, drinks were expensive and when I went inside to look for the loo the owner was very ‘off’ the place needs a good scrub down. Glad we weren’t eating there after I’d seen the toilet hygiene

Friendly welcome, large comfortable rooms.

Undoubtedly, best bar in Bangor. Great cocktails for amazing value. Staff are extremely friendly and always welcoming. Great atmosphere for any one of any background. Great pub garden and inside seating.

Such lovely staff and great flat white have been coming here for years whilst on holiday

This restaurant has only been open since April '24 as I understand it, however, many of the reviews are from a previous restaurant with the same name. This is extremely misleading as the reviews suggest A 4.5 star rating which really couldn't be further from the truth. The grounds around the building look beautiful but once you get closer you can see the sad tired building and the interior is worse. The crisp white table cloths on the photos were replaced with bare tables and sticky homemade table mats. It's very much a 'this will do' interior. The owner was very friendly but didn't seem to know how to run a restaurant which is surprising as I understand he has done for many years. No plates cleared so we had to balance one plate on another to eat. Plastic water glasses which should have been thrown away. Questionable quality/freshness of poppadoms and sauces. Portion sizes, very small. One of our party was given chips with a congealed white sauce which was supposed to be cheesy chips. Another had coconut chicken with no coconut. I could go on. Needless to say, we won't go back.
