Good Mood in Gwynedd

We dined here last night with my mum, partner and two children. The staff were extremely welcoming, the food was delicious and the service was fast and efficient. They were so chatty and friendly, unfortunately we don't live nearby and were only visiting whilst in Wales but if we ever were to return we would definitely go back!

Staying in Porthmadog, came across the restaurant Good Mood, food was lovely cooked Spagetti carbonara I had with king prawns was very tasty with a glass of processco made my evening.. Bergers looked inviting, followed by a light pudding if you have room, :) waiters very pleasant and with other guest atmosphere was relaxed, so pop in if passing, you won't be dissapointed.... 😀

Visited while on holiday in north wales. Food was delicious. The atmosphere is uncomfortable and the manager is rude. Shame since the food is really nice but we couldn’t wait to finish our meals and leave.

Booked here whilst on holiday. Could not have made a better choice. Beautiful food, excellent choice and service. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend.

Good pizza. Nice place. Nice staff

A lovely visit to this restaurant, there were 7 of us and we all ordered different dishes. The manager was lovely and worked hard trying to please everyone even though the restaurant was full. The only fault was the toilet situation- only one. We would still return.

The food was fantastic here, great portion sizes and a gluten free option for my partner. The burger was so nice and I will be going back next time in Porthmadog. The service was excellent and very friendly. I would recommend visiting.

Lovely restaurant, great service and good food. The chef ran out of mushrooms after our order was taken so went out to get some more. We couldn't ask for more so definitely would recommend 👌

Food is good quality, priced for a seasonal market

This is a review of the good mood lounge in the old bank building in the high street. Very disappointing. The pizzas were very basic and expensive. The starters poor. Sorry we won’t be coming back. We are local and like to support local businesses.

Really happy with the meal - 5 adults and a toddler eating an early dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful, a fussy eater in the group asked for details on a meal and they made the effort to go find out how it was made. Had a broad selection of dishes across the group; Smash burgers are really worth a look, very well done and hold together well Pizza was amazing, really good dough and well made Pasta portion was enormous! And the meatballs were amazing Italian beef stew (don’t ask spelling…) was spectacular. Kids meal was a good size and sensibly put together, I guess as a parent I would’ve liked some veg?

I had the Greek Pizza and my husband had a burger (I can’t remember which one, sorry!). The food was delicious! Portions are very big and great value. Service was excellent, all the staff very friendly and polite. I highly recommend.

Our original reservation was for 7pm but with a quick call they were happy to fit us in an hour earlier. A busy place but quite small so definitely book a table. There were tables outside with a view of the marina but on a wet Sunday night these weren't an option. A good range of cocktails on offer and our Burgers and Pasta main courses were excellent .Friendly and efficient staff. We had a lovely evening.

Fantastic restaurant and food! “Good Mood” is a refreshing addition to the restaurant options within Porthmadog and offers a great location on the harbour.. Even better, their sister venue “Good Mood Lounge” on Porthmadog high street is a welcome addition too. Having eaten at both establishments- both offer great food and ambience. There is no compromise on quality and standard of food at either place. Highly recommend Good Mood and Good Mood Lounge.

We had the pizza with deep fried capers and tuna. Never thought about frying capers before. Service was okay but had to ask three times for the half of lager to be served. Waitresses conversation about being invited to spank MP’s during Covid at her friends B&B a little strange. But it would not stop me going back……

Nice little restaurant tucked away on the harbour next to yacht club. Great food and service. Good value for money.

It's a wonderful location, just at the marina & off the busy strip. Lots of choice in both food & drink & service was very good & quick,with both waitresses asking if we were happy

Visited Porthmadog for a short weekend trip and came here on our first evening for dinner. Staff were generally friendly but the other diners that were already there seemed to me like snobs and just stared at us with stone cold faces whilst we were waiting at the door to be served, which made me feel really uncomfortable. Food was really expensive for what it was.

We chose Good Mood Restaurant as the place to have a good meal after 5 days hiking and wild camping - it did not disappoint. Food and drinks were great, and service was amazing. The pilsner on tap was especially good, and I recommend the Green Monster Burger for a vegetarian option.

Very tasty food nicely presented. Welcoming young staff. Reasonable prices. Visit it .

Was advised to visit here from a past diner , ordered several different dishes that arrived very quickly , to quick to have been freshly cooked , mussels were lovely , meatballs were quite tasteless , pasta didn't taste freshly cooked , shame as a year ago I was told things were better

Went twice during our holiday in Porthmadog - once for pizza then we had to go back when we saw the burgers! Both delicious 😋

What a brilliant place, got us in at the last minute, The burger was the best burger I have ever eaten. Staff were brilliant, didn't feel rushed to eat, kept the drinks flowing. It was full but didn't seem packed. Just a great place to go. 100% recommend.

Really nice little spot, service was great and so quick- if I'm around Porthmadog again..........I'll be back

Great little spot on the harbour

It’s taken 3 days but finally found some where great to eat with nice coffee!! The food was awesome = 3 happy children = happy mum and dad. Would be back for dinner for sure! Thank you guys

A fab meal last night with hubby. We will definitely recommend and visit again. Luckily don't live far.

Food was lovely, the pizzas we had were great. My partner is vegan, and she really enjoyed her pizza. It was hard to find places that could cater for her in the area, but this place was happy to accommodate. The service was good, the staff were friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable, too. All in all, we were very happy with our experience, and left in a good mood!

Excellent handmade pizza's served on the dockside. Just watch out for the seagulls!

Nice food and service but I think the drinks are a bit expensive. £3 for a can of diet pepsi!

A very pleasant place. The staff was very nice and found us a place inside, even though it was difficult because everything was booked. Tasty dishes. I recommend.

Had an amazing last night meal on my last day of the holiday, staff were amazing

absolutely gorgeous food, really helpful staff. definitely worth trying

Excellent food and lovely location, I recommend the Moody Cowboy burger 😋

Lovely menu at the Yacht club in Porthmadog.

Great ambiance and food. Limited menu with many daily specials. Thoroughly enjoyed the wine and food. An international meal in terms of flavour and presentation and not pub grub. Busy and reservations recommended.

Had a lovely meal here on 23rd July. We were lucky as it was a sunny day and evening so we were able to sit outside overlooking the harbour . We sat out until 10pm it was really lovely Food was excellent, the burger was really delicious Good friendly service too If I was to give any feedback it was to have some cushions on the benches outside

Good mood, good food!!! My family and I had read good reviews about this restaurant and decided to pay it a visit during our holiday. Needless to say, it was a fantastic experience, the food was absolutely delicious, the portions were massive, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was extremely chilled and pleasant. I highly recommend Good Mood to anyone and everyone.

Such a beautiful setting with tables outside looking over the port. The waitress was brilliant with my huge chaotic family (all 13 of us - 3 kids & 2 babies) and food and drinks were quick to come out. My aunty said the burger “was the best” she’d ever had! The only negative was sitting on hard picnic benches which my elderly grandad struggled with. But still absolutely worth visiting!

Absolutely delicious meal. We sat inside, nice vibe, seen to right away! The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered a rosé wine and a spiced rum with Pepsi - both really tasty. For food we had the Greek pizza (super flavourful, cheesy and delicious) and the Oklahoma burger (fire thin fries and juicy burger). They were both really delicious meals, the portion size was bang on. Didn’t feel stuffed like we tend to usually. Even ordered a dessert, the caramel and white chocolate cheesecake, that was stunning. Not sickly, just perfect to end the meal. Ordered two more drinks and our total was £69. Not a cheap meal for two but definitely worth it, really delicious food that I’d 100% come back for if I’m in the area again!!!! Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Great food, fantastic value,in a great setting and the pint of Pravha was Ice cold. I never write reviews which shoes you how impressive it was

Some of the tastiest Linguine pasta, I've tasted. Calm river side setting, good service.

Been several times during my travels around Wales each time food and service super in addition unique marine climate with good weather recommend outdoor garden

absolutely amazing! food was the best I've had in a while and the cocktails 10/10! a lady who I'm assuming was manager was so helpful especially with a child of mine being abit difficult! honestly would 1000% recommend coming here wether from Wales or even travelling down like we did

We are in Porthmadog for a week's holiday, and tonight is our second meal here. We love the relaxed atmosphere and the great food - choose from pasta, pizza and burgers. Tonight I had an amazing Italian beef stew, and others choose a gourmet burger from the specials board. We could bring our dog and he got a treat too. Staff are attentive but not intrusive. Make this one of your choices, if you visit.

A good place to sit and watch the boats whilst eating. Service was first class. Starters were excellent, pizzas could have done with a bit more topping, they clearly expect you to order extra toppings looking at the amount of empty space on my pizza. A good range of drinks including local beers.

Unreal food and great staff! Would happily come again

Food was 10/10 the pizza is the best I have eaten! Staff was polite I had to knock a star off as there was only baby changing facilities in the women’s toilets luckily my partner was was there to change the baby

Fantastic little spot on the marina. I'll recommend this place because: 1) Excellent service. It's so rare these days to find good service but the waitresses' were so attentive and lovely! 2) Really good food. The menu has so many options we thought the food would be poor. Not at all! We had the prawns and tomatoes to start which were so good. Pizzas and burgers were amazing and we were able to add on so many other items to personalise them. Cheesecake dessert was to die for! 3) Lovely Welsh beer! Thanks for a lovely experience Good Mood!

Beautiful food, best burger we've had for years, will return.

Excellent experience. Dinner for two.

Good vegan options... Burger, pasta and pizza Small with space inside and out in a beautiful area of the town. Only down point was they had run out of vegan cheese and had no vegan milks, so was limited so make sure you ask when you book. Otherwise brilliant!

Lovely food! Great location, and the staff were very helpful. Highly recommend

Probably best to book. Great food and friendly staff

Small restaurant but very good food. Pizzas are freshly made and very tasty. All other foods look very nice also. You need to book due to the size of the restaurant as it books out quickly. Staff were all friendly.

Nice meal, friendly service with lovely views of the harbour

Very nice and helpful staff and looks after the customers Definitely coming here again 😀😀

We ate here last night for the first time and it was really lovely!.. the staff are really friendly and attentive. It’s a small restaurant if the outside is closed i.e. if it’s raining, so you probably need to book to guarantee a table. When we were there every table was full. Everything was homemade, including the cheese cake. We’ll definitely be coming back 🤩

The staff were absolutely lovely, could not do enough for you. I would certainly book, which we did via Facebook chat a couple of hours before hand. Another couple hadn't booked but the staff advised a table would be free soon so they were happy to wait. Food was well presented, and tasty. The portion size for a pasta dish was huge so it looked like we hadn't liked the food but, we loved the food, we just couldn't fit anymore in. Would recommend any day.

Fantastic experience that came courtesy of the Gluten Free App I use. We had spent the day at Black Rock Sands and were looking for something to eat in Porthmadog. We were about to leave and find somewhere on the drive home when I checked the gluten free app and realised we were 2 minutes walk away from it. Little gem of a find, great staff, lovely food (I had a gluten free burger and girlfriend had a big pizza) and really nice setting. Thanks all for a great time!

Great food and service, especially the caramelised onion!! but GF pizza wasn’t fantastic, but what can you expect for gluten free!

Fantastic food great service, just what I was looking for after a good hike up snowdon

Just simply excellent in every area. See the pics! Delicious, relaxing and well served. Thanks

I thought the burger was 10/10 and then I tried the pizza, that dough was incredible! If we was in the area we’d definitely revisit!

Had burger and chips then lemon Sicilian cheesecake pint of cider and a Latvian vodka was amazing staff friendly and attentive lovely atmosphere will eat there again

This review is Ford good Mood Lounge in the High Street - so first: it’s just as good as the original Good Mood food wise and service. We went for a large licence to,last the rest of the day so had a number of different plates. All excellent food and the pizza was definitely freshly made and one of the best I’ve had for ages. Excellent service and a fair price for the quality of the food, the ambience and service.

My partner and I had the absolute best experience at this restaurant. The food was genuinely incredible. I had a mushroom pasta dish topped with walnuts and honey and I can honestly say it is one of the best dishes I have ever had. My partner had a pizza and it was a proper stonebaked pizza, cooked beautifully. All of the staff were really lovely, the waitress that took our main food order was very helpful and nice. The restaurant is quite small, I highly recommend booking, you don't want to miss out on this place! We came away from our meal here very happy and will definitely be back!

Delicious Pizza! Me and my fiancé were able to order takeaway pizzas from their GM Lounge as we were staying 10 minutes away in a lodge. Such a treat after a day of exploring Snowdon!

Ladies inside were lovely and nice to chat to.. me and my fiance ordered 2 pizzas and a garlic bread with cheese to take back to our cabin.. it was gorgeous! Thank you! And nkve to chat to you also!

Wow Sunday Carvery absolutely delicious so much choice, piping hot and fresh. Staff always friendly and run such an efficient service will definately be back .thank you

Lovely little place. Staff super friendly, although they did seem a little rushed off feet. (Had to ask for sauces and vinegar, nobody came to ask if food was ok - minor details but important we felt) We both had a delicious, impressive burger which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

Warmly greeted on arrival, we then thoroughly enjoyed a smash beef burger, fish burger and slow cooked beef ragu. The rosemary seasoned fries were really good! Super views over the harbour and nice outdoor seating area for when the weather warms up! Takes a bit of finding, but is well signposted from the harbour about 100 yards away. You will be able to find cheaper food in Porthmadog but that bit extra is well worth it

Quite possibly the best burgers I've ever eaten. Ate here 2 years ago and was so good I just had to come back again as I was in the area. Outstanding once again, I just wish Iived closer so I could come more often! In addition to the food, the service is superb. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I was very happy to see that they've opened a new restaurant since I was here last. A lovely restaurant, run by lovely people. Can't recommend highly enough. Make sure you pop in if your within a 250 mile radius.

Best food we had in Wales. If you are around do not miss it.

As always a brilliant meal at Good Mood and this time at their new GM Lounge! Incredible food, lovely staff and a lovely chic feel to it all.

Good Mood is a bit tucked away in part of Porthmadog Yacht Club - but definitely worth finding. I enjoyed a cracking smashed burger with oodles of fries and a really yummy slaw. My wife had mushroom ravioli with a rather special vodka, tomato and cheese sauce. She was purring. Service excellent and, as a bonus, Good Mood is dog friendly. Max loved the fuss, not to mention the bowl of water and the treat the team bought out for him. A winner all round! Pizzas looked excellent as well.

The place is tucked away, but worth finding. Like an American Diner, small inside but lots of outdoor seating. Really good pizza bases, generous toppings. Friendly staff.

Bit of a weird location that has you thinking are you going in the right place. But once you are in there it's lovely and the food is great. I recommend the cowboy burger it's banging.

What a lovely place, we visited after been unable to get into the first choice that evening, and frankly it wasn't a shame. Such a nice location, and the food was really good. The staff were very friendly too, which is always a bonus. Defiantly recommend for those who enjoy this cuisine

Excellent food and service and friendly staff - we will be back thanks xx Bonus you can bring your dogs and we were given a bowl of water x

This is the second time we've been here in as many weeks. First time we all had burgers, including their vegan burger offering, which was, to be quite frank, absolutely stunning! The staff are friendly and helpful. This time round we all had pizzas, and once again, were incredibly happy. The food here never fails to impress. Next visit, we'll try the pasta dishes!

Great little find! Best linguine carbonara my wife has tasted

Nice place with good food. Loved my Ooh lala burger.

I was working here during one week and we came every night the Restaurant was open. Very friendly staff. Even adapting the pasta to our indication. Dessert also good. Quiet ambience and good music. We come back in the future

We had a thoroughly delicious meal on a Saturday lunchtime. Friendly service, lovely atmosphere and family friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Best food we’ve had in ages . Tastes amazing . Accommodating with are dog . Food was out of this world :) friendly service wish we lived close so we could be a regular 10 stars :) wonderful place :)

First time eating at Good Mood, it won't be our last time. On first entering the restaurant you are greeted with a beautiful restaurant and the owners who are so welcoming. The food was fabulous, staff and the restaurant too, what more can you ask for. We can't wait to eat here again when visiting Porthmadog.

No tasty food the owner very nasty

So glad I finally made the time to visit for dinner. Went out for a family birthday meal. To say the experience was nothing short of spectacular would be an understatement. The staff are incredible attentive and welcoming, the menu leaves you spoilt for choice and the wines were just divine! A feature on the wine list that I loved was that they give recommendations for which meal to pair with them. This just shows the thoughtfulness of the people running it! I honestly could not recommend this place enough! It is clear that a lot of thought and care goes into this business. The menu has something for everyone and it can easily be catered for dietary requirements and the staff are very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have! My mother in law made a mistake in not mentioning she was GF and the staff swiftly rectified her mistake without hesitation and with patience and kindness, she wasn't made to feel awkward (like some places can make you feel) The service really made the night. However that isnt to say that the food can be overshadowed. The food was absolutely amazing! We all cleaned our plates and some how just wanted more! Absolutely amazing! Not a single complaint, none of us were left wishing for something more. Absolutely delicious. It was a pleasure to finally visit this place (especially since the owners are friends of mine) A massive thank you to the wonderful staff for making this night special for my partner. Cannot fault the service at all! Im very excited for the next time I visit! (Which will be soon) Thanks again to the wonderful staff!

We dropped a pin in Porthmadog looking for somewhere to eat and the maps brought us here. We had the most tasty burgers that we’ve had in a long time. The staff were lovely as was the place. Definitely one for the ‘let’s go again’ list.

Food was Good And Lock Was Fun And the sever Was Great And The Bathroom Had a shower And the bathroom Was cleaning I LOVE IT And it was great

Found the place on TA as it’s not on the high st. It does however overlook the harbour and I can imagine it’s rammed in the summer months. First impressions, greeted by a massive smile and immediately made to feel welcome. We had booked which I would recommend as I estimated around 30 covers and it was busy even at 6.20 on a rainy November evening. Service was very efficient and friendly and food arrived quickly. Burger was excellent as was my wife’s pasta dish (generous portions). Definitely worth the visit you cannot park directly outside the restaurant but plenty of parking is available close by. Anything that I would say could be improved??? Very little except possibly adjust the entrance door as it slams incredibly loudly. That said it’s a tiny point for a restaurant that is clearly trying very hard - they deserve a visit (but make sure you book in advance).

We visited twice this week as the food and service was fantastic. Pizzas are amazing, lots of different toppings, and the burgers are flavoursome and a little different. Staff are so friendly and genuinely pleased to see you. Thank you for both of our visits. See you next year.

Deluxe burgers were really way beyond the usual. Price reflected excellent quality and good value. Cody cafe atmosphere and friendly service. Good local beer offering.

Only gave it 3 stars because apart from having a drink outside I can't comment but it seemed very nice

Great find. Lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly and cater for gluten intolerance. The burgers were the best I have ever had, really tasty and all fresh. We would definitely visit again when in the area.

Well located restaurant with nice views. Good choice of food including some vegetarian items. Good service and very friendly to our two dogs.

Super lunch with the family whilst staying in the area on holiday; we hadn't booked and turned up around 2pm on a Monday - the place was busy on arrival, but there was only a wait of around 5 minutes for a table. Food was really good (we had pizzas mainly), service was absolutely spot on also. Would happily go back if in the area.

Great place near the harbour. The place was welcoming and a nice feel to it. The burgers were great and very tasty. Dog friendly and gluten free available.
