Freckled Angel in Isle of Anglesey

Eating out is our pastime, so as such, we expect decent quality. Freckled angel delivered in all areas. The place is quirky and the tables well spaced so as not to feel cramped. The waiting staff were friendly and on point. We had 6 plates, all of which were a gastronomic sensation! Cleverly assembled multi layered flavours. The dessert menu continued the theme. There was a reasonable wait from order to arrival of the main course but if you want fast food... get yourself to the kebab place! We commented that it would be excellent if there were a tasting menu with a wine flight accompaniment. The test of any restaurant is would you return. We will definitely be back! Andy and Linda

I haven't eaten here, but I learned this restaurant is named after Ren's first album...that's pretty dope, and your menu looks great too. I hope to eat here someday!

Extremely delicious small plates perfect for family good price too

Great little spot. The Katsu chicken burger was exceptional and mid week they have beer and a burger for £20

We managed to sneak in for the burger and pint offer and it was fantastic, I had the Gourmet Japanese Burger which was delicious and the fries were the best I've ever had, golden brown with a nice crispy skin. Excellent work.

A long weekend away in Menai and my only regret is that I have only just discovered this restaurant and I am going home tomorrow. The service and ambience were second to none but the food was absolutely delicious. I am a solo traveller and was made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff. I couldn't manage to eat everything that I had ordered but have had to bring it home with me as it was far too good to leave. I will be back.

Service was quick and attentive. We didn't eat and only had drinks. A good selection to choose from ranging from locally brewed Gins and Rums and a range of beers and coktails etc. Reasonably priced in line woth other local outlets.

I can't recommend this place enough! Food and service were excellent, absolutely loved it and hope to visit again when we're next in the area 😊

Hidden Gem this place. We ordered small plates all was delicious. Menu unique and surprising. Staff welcoming and friendly 😊

Low quality for the price. We had the small plates.

Best meal of our holiday! Every dish was delicious- and I’ll be dreaming about the brown butter for a long time

In-cre-di-ble ! Such delicious small plates that are also very original ! 100% recommend

We went here celebrating my birthday. It was amazing. The staff were lovely and oh my goodness the food was amazing . Very highy recommended and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back . X

Wow what an incredible experience my family and I had at Freckled Angel! Amazing food, super efficient service and a really cool and stylish venue, what a treat to dine at such a fantastic venue! Freckled angel specialise in small plates, British style tapas. The food was full of epic flavours, absolute perfection. The staff were all efficient, friendly and professional. My family and I all really appreciate the fantastic service that Freckled Angel provided, it was a pleasure to dine at such a fantastic restaurant that has a wonderful menu with an excellent selection of food to choose from. Thank you to all the staff at Freckled Angel for your super service and amazing food!

We came to the Freckled Angel on the back of a wine tour and from the reviews were really looking forward to trying the food - we were not disappointed! The front of house staff were welcoming and engaging and quickly took us to our table on the mezzanine. Despite being a busy night then staff quickly took our drinks order and then our food order - we went with a selection of small plates and 1 side: duck parfait, duck leg, ox cheek, haddock chowder, Thai cod, arancini and beetroot salad. My god they were all individually amazing and delicious. The service was good - attentive but not overbearing and we enjoyed every moment. If you're in the area I highly recommend going here for your food.

Lovely, well presented food and friendly service. There was a problem with my drink - cocktail was warm and made with (a lot) of syrup rather than lime juice. But staff were cool about my wishing to send it back, I was able to swap it for another drink with no issue. Would recommend and happily revisit. 😊

Really lovely night with our friends. Food was delicious, really reasonable prices, lovely decoration and stuffed to within an inch of my life. I would visit again.

Good food with a Korean emphasis at a reasonable price

Some of the best food I've had in ten years of living in the area. I particularly recommend the soufflé.

Great food, great atmosphere highly recommend

We had a private lunch party for 30 family members upstairs at The Freckled last Saturday. It was perfect. We had dedicated use of the very pleasant and light, yet cosy, space. Since the refurbishment of The Victoria Hotel, I think this is the only private dining/function space now available in Menai Bridge. As we expected from chef Mike and his team, the food was amazing and although based on the current ‘small plates’ menu, Mike put together a ‘3 course’ menu, which we all pre-ordered from. Everyone loved the food. As one of the best and most consistent restaurants in the ‘foodie’ town of Menai Bridge, the Freckled is justifiably popular, but I’d also recommend it for private parties of various sizes. Debbie, Kate and the front of house team will look after you brilliantly. Everyone at our ‘do’ said how relaxed and enjoyable the whole event was.

Absolutely wonderful experience tonight. An absolute gem of a place with great 'quality' dishes. Thank you

Loved the food here! Me and my friend had a really lovely evening meal. We shared 4 small plates and 2 sides which were perfectly portioned so that we finished without feeling totally stuffed. I will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you.

Best place to eat on the island, always amazing

Excellent service and the meal was fantastic.

All the courses we tried were beautifully plated and delicious 😋

Overall Experience - overall small plates are average, great place to chill and have a chat 1. Camembert - cheese is gooey, mixes well with cranberry sauce , would appreciate spicier chilli jam, bread is well toasted 2. Service - friendly staff 3. Serving time - 35 mins 4. Affordability - a bit pricy 5. Atmosphere - clean

Great Tapas menu good choices staff and service wonderful would recommend to all.

Wonderful place to eat. Staff lovely, chatty and friendly. Food great lots to choose from.

Ate from a special set menu on New Years Eve - and it was wonderful! Between the two of us, we shared all six meat or fish based dishes and each and every one was delicious!! Our favourites were the Korean Chicken and the Salmon Terrine. Staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend, and look forward to visit again to experience their 'normal' menu.

Lovely food, new years eve booked at short notice. Highly recommended

Flavours are great, portions bit small vs price although appreciate there is a lot of work in many of the dishes. Cauliflower was not crispy.

An amazing array of tasty small plates this week the scallops were perfectly cooked ! Great options for veggie also vegan as side plates are vegetable based. Staff are great nice atmosphere!

Further to our visit on Saturday 11th November, I would just like to say the food was exquisite worthy of a Michelin Star. The constructive criticism would be the that the large plates, ie mains arrived whilst we were still enjoying our starters, small bites. Can I suggest the timing needs to be addressed, a small issue but makes a big differance.

Lovely place and stunning food! Very friendly staff as well. We always make sure to come here for our annual trip to North Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We had the pork, duck, Korean fried chicken and Parmesan profiteroles this time. All gorgeous, but I would definitely recommend the duck and korean fried chicken. The pork cheek is also delicious. We’ll be back next year!

Amazing food and outstanding service. My sister was poorly and they were so kind to her. Our only complaint was she couldn't eat all of the food because of her cough!

Great restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice in here and the staff are very friendly. The food is to put it simply, delicious. Don't expect large portions, it's not that type of restaurant. However, the quality shines, it's very comforting food. The price for the small dishes is very reasonable, but quite expensive for the larger plates, however that's probably just the economics of eating out these days. Oh and side note, the decor is awesome. Just remember it has no parking, so you will have to find somewhere in town.

Very good, food was up to standard, no ultras, expected a sell out crowd with fireworks, 7/10

July 22 visit (I updated one word on the review, it changed the date to Oct 2023) I love a good small plates restaurant and these eats, were some of the best I've ever have. Usually when doing reviews, I tend to give a four star place five stars, as people underscore (plus no 4.5 option exists). But I cannot rate this place highly enough. As someone that uses Google maps a lot, I hope people will give it a try. We booked online easily enough, which is probably prudent during busier hours. They did have a large party upstairs apparently, so that's is an option for those interested. The food itself was excellent quality, reasonably priced for small plates, with pleasant staff and decor. One couple did come with a toddler, when we went early evening (at opening). So it's fine for kids I would say if necessary. Not sure if they have a kids menu. As a side note, some of the meal names did tickle us. Retired dairy cow being the one that sticks to mind.

Wonderful and innovative food with fabulous flavours and presentation..... lovely to try lots of different tastes and textures. Staff very efficient and friendly with a lovely welcome to start the experience!

I cannot stop raving about this lovely restaurant. Reasonably priced, quality food, great ambience and excellent service. The staff were so kind and made our evening as we were drenched. If you go there, you must try the Korean chicken, Haddock and Panna cotta. Thank you so much!

The food was absolutely delicious! We were really impressed with the quality, and even the size of the portions (even in the 'small plates). The Korean Fried Chicken, the Haddock in mussels and Tartare sauce, and the Apple and brown butter tart in particular were truly wonderful. We did have to wait quite a while for our food but the waitresses were very friendly and pleasant, and the food made up for it!

A fantastic lunch. I had the Korean inspired chicken, my other half had 3 of the "small plates" from the menu. Well executed with friendly attentive service.

From arrival to the time we left we could only say amazing things. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff were pleasant, observant and went above and beyond. The food was incredible, from the first mouthful to the last everything was perfection.

Lovely restaurant really good food great interesting menu, Will definitely recommend it !

Went on a Monday night, was pretty full.. amazing food and service! We were a group of 4 and we had 6 small plates, 1 large plate and a fair few sides and was perfect (plus some nice deserts and some Irish Coffees to finish) Great drinks and well priced for the quality of food. 100% recommend.

Food was good but portions of some dishes are the smallest we've had at a tapas considering the prices charged.

Excellent restaurant, cannot recommend highly enough. High quality food, friendly staff and a great location. When it came to the bill I thought they had made a mistake, it was about half what I was expecting to pay, incredible value.

Lovely food, great ciabatta and bagel lunches at good prices. Nice selection of small plates. Friendly service.

One of the best meals I have ever had. I've eaten at a lot of fine dining places and in terms of flavours (which let's face it is the only thing that really matters) this place was incredible. Every mouthful was absolute perfection. I wish I lived nearby to come as often as possible. If you are food fan you HAVE to go here.

Fantastic food and staff. Great prices. The Salmon main course was the best meal in a restaurant in many years.

Expensive but totally worth it for amazing food, I'm vegetarian and found it very easy to eat here.

Absolutely amazing. Seriously one of the best dining experiences of my life!

Ate here last week, Fantastic!!! Will definitely be coming back

Amazing food highly recommended

You need either 3 small plates per person. The main needs a side to make it a meal. All very tasty

We made a last minute decision to have lunch here and could not have been happier. Fantastic food, great value and really friendly people. I had what was effectively a four course 'tasting menu' lunch for £26, and everything was cooked fantastically well. An absolute pleasure.

I've probably scored a little bit harsh, as I'd googled fine dining in Menai Bridge, and this didn't hit the mark. The food was very nice (although the duck a little over cooked for my liking, no pinkness to it). When we were shown to our table only one place was set. We had to ask staff for a second plate and cutlery. Then the second place was set with only a fork and no knife so we had to asked for knife. We were not offered drinks while we read the menu, we had to ask. We ordered a wine and a beer, only the wine turned up, we had to remind them about the beer. We ordered 3 small dishes, 2 large dishes and 2 sides. One of the sides arrived 18 minutes before the rest of the food. Maybe they assumed we wanted the sides as a starter? But then why only assume one was a starter and not both? (or just ask). The rest of our food tuned up minus one dish. We reminded the staff of the missing dish and it arrived right away. There appeared to have been another mix up somewhere as the staff came back counting and double checking they had given us the correct dishes. Seems they thought they had given us a dish belonging to someone else. We ordered the camembert, when it arrived it wasn't being carried quite flat, so was running out of its container, off the plate and onto the waitresses hand, the floor, the table and the chair. I mentioned this at the time, but we were left with the spilled one rather than it being replaced with a full one. All in all, each individual thing was very minor and hardly worth mentioning, the food was lovely, the staff were lovely. But each of these little things added up making it more of an amature experience and not the 'fine dining' experience we were expecting.

Never been lucky enough to eat in this restaurant, Because Im in Australia. but the story behind it, pictures of the food and other reviews have me pretty convinced a 5 star rating is warranted.

A nicely decorated, cosy restaurant with caring, helpful staff. We had a lovely tapas meal, a nice bottle of Malbec and took the remaining wine home with us.

Best food i’ve had in a while! Perfect service, great GF selection! Diolch mawr

A really excellent meal. The best we had in Menai Bridge. Tapas style food, 2 to 3 plates per person. Lots of local ingredients. Every dish we ordered was superb.

What a find. Interesting and delightful lunch menu. Yum

This was only my 2nd visit, but I would recommend Freckled Angel to everyone and have done since my first visit. We are so lucky to have so many dining options on Anglesey, but when deciding where to eat last night, I had no hesitation in booking FA, Sue, my companion had never eaten there before but was delighted and amazed at the quality of the food. We had lots of dishes and each one was packed with delicious flavours. I really couldn't single out one, even though the pork belly and souffle was to die for but then the haddock and the mackerel was magnificent, however the same could be said for the pheasant and the, and the, and the. The meal was gorgeous As my son in law ( who is a "foodie") remarked on our first visit, "that was the best meal he had had for a long time". Well it was equally as good this time. Sue and I will be back..... Superb! Ronnie
