Caffi Gruff in Gwynedd

Sheeps and Leeks has become a staple visit whenever we're in the area. Although small in terms of covers it is a fantastic experience. You don't in any way feel crowded, because they have got the mix between tables and space perfect. When you enter you're not quite sure what to expect. The staff greet you warmly and then take you downstairs into the seating area. What happens then is simply sensational. You are treated to a simply superb tasting menu, showcasing local produce and sublime cookery. The wine pairing is exceptional, though obviously if going for that then a taxi is the right mode of transport. The food is amazing! Simple as. Presentation is stunning, whilst the flavours are deep and complex, but not overbearing. I would be amazed if a Michelin star was not on the very near horizon! This is a must go to restaurant if you like fine food and wine, great service and prime location.

I've always had difficulty finding a good place for lunch (in Porthmadog) so Breaktimes (despite being on an industrial estate: glad I didn't let that put me off) was perfect: great food, friendly service, pricing good for nowadays and for the quality of the food. It's also licensed which is a real bonus after shopping in Porthmadog or coming here for a day out by train. We were also able to take our dog but I think we could only sit outside (?) so I'm glad it was a good day. Our waitress immediately brought her a bowl of water which was such a nice touch. Our food was excellent (Penang sweet potato curry for me, and a very good beefburger for husband). I've since told friends about/highly recommended Breaktimes and look forward to my next Porthmadog outing just for lunch 'out'!

Apparently they have moved to new premises and you can understand why: the food for lunch is excellent, so much choice from the deli, and the staff are great. We sat at one of the last free tables in the window and the owner/manager recommended two of the daily ciabatta freshly made options and we had those - ham with cheese and relish (hot) and beef with cheese and horseradish - both delicious. Also had a coffee and some carrot cake. Really enjoyed it and the steady flow of customers suggests we were not alone in our thinking. We bought some goods from the well stocked deli.

I paid my second visit to Mixopoly last week whilst visiting family in Bangor. Both times, I have been impressed by the whole package. The place itself is extremely light & airy overlooking the cricket field. Tables are placed so well that you don’t feel too close to any other table. It is always spotlessly clean & well presented. The staff are friendly & welcoming & you are never kept waiting. The menus are packed with choice & varied & the pricing is fair & competitive. Both times we have had the Breakfast menu & the food has been exceptional. The quality of the produce is clearly fresh & packed with flavour. The portions are ample & very filling. A great way to start the day & a very pleasurable experience all round . Highly recommend 😃

This is such a great spot to grab a quick coffee whilst walking along the prom and soaking up the view. I managed to resist the cakes but they look awesome!
