iâl Restaurant in Wrexham

I'm never one to moan, but afternoon tea costing £15 was never that worth. 2 sandwiches which involved probably 1 slice of bread! 2 scones and 1 iced cake!! Sorry but you need to improve this. Staff were lovely tho 👍

Went the ial restaurant for the first time today and I can say it won’t be the last.as the food,service and ambiance was first class.and the cost was reasonable for a three course a la carte menu honestly folks you need to try there you won’t regret it we will go back for sure.

First visit and will definitely be back best food I have tasted in a long time 10/10

Absolutely lovely staff. The chicken skewers were a delicious starter. We really hope to see this as a main meal in the future as it left us both wanting more. We also had humous with flat bread, yum. The food came in a timely manner. We had Duck and Lamb mains. They were lovely. Would be nice if there were chips with the mains to fill out the meal as we ended up getting some separately. The puddings were lovely, we had the brownie and sticky toffee apple pudding with icecream. The only thing to make it better is if you offered honeycomb icecream. Will be recommending to family and friends!

We had a lovely time there. Loved the ambience and good food. Enjoyed talking to the friendly staff and discovered that it also doubled up as a hospitality staff training centre.

My husband and I were given a voucher for Afternoon Tea . We went this afternoon and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The Afternoon tea was delicious. Lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful service and food, definitely recommend 👌

I love the dining experience here. Beautiful meals Service is above and beyond. Highly recomend

A real gem in Wrexham. Enjoyed every moment of being there - everyone is friendly, cheerful and helpful. The food was very, very good. A good selection of wines too.

We went for a family meal, the service as always was excellent and the quality of the food was yet again outstanding. This time we had a couple of “Bar Snacks” first before our starter and main. I had the special which was lobster absolutely delicious, my mother had pork again cooked very well and lovely presentation, and my brother had the slow cooked brisket all served with delicious accomplishments first class.

What a wonderful restaurant this is. Come here quite often. The service is excellent and the food is perfect. Simon was really friendly and helpful. You can’t fault anything

Really lovely food, and easy parking as it’s next to the swimming pool!

Lovely place, food and service excellent and very reasonable

Father's day Sunday lunch was exquisite,the 3 course meal is ridiculous value at £23 . Wine is very reasonably priced with plenty of choices and in the drink department. The service is warm friendly and efficient in a lovely environment . My favourite local dining experience of which we look forward to our next visit.

Four family members out for my birthday food and drinks faultless. Service was great very attentive without being in your face

Absolutely perfect, best meal I've eaten, each course was perfect. The service was also fantastic. Well worth going!

First visit today, and it was absolutely lovely. Staff were welcoming and couldn't do enough. We opted for afternoon tea and it was delicious. A little gem of a place , highly recommended

WE WILL NOW BOOK SUNDAY LUNCH. WE'VE BEEN TOLD ITS VERY GOOD. SOMETHING MORE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

Great place for food, a very good idea for the students to learn their trades.

Lovely afternoon tea here, good assortment of cakes staff very friendly, abit quiet when we were there but really enjoyed ourselves.

Had the two course lunch menu, the food was excellent, brilliant value for money, the service and the actual venue itself, first class, will definitely visit again.

Fantastic place lovely food and very helpful staff will go again

A hidden gem in Wrexham, fabulous contemporary styling in restaurant and attentive welcoming staff. The food was amazing well cooked with excellent presentation. The black pudding scotch egg was something else and worth a visit for that alone

Family Sunday dinner. Fantastic food, lovely, friendly staff. Great choice and good value for money. Highly recommended and will definitely be visiting again soon.

A hidden gem. Food was excellent. Service was above what we expected. We had arrived a little earlier than expected and they accommodated us immediately. Servers were super friendly and efficient. It's a place where their hospitality and culinary students get to work to hone their skills. They will be adding a freshly pressed juice bar soon and I'm looking forward to sampling that when it opens.

Great place to eat a Sunday lunch.

Arrived 10 mins late due to a prior appointment but we were still received with a warm welcome. Nothing too much trouble. The food was excellent and the staff the same. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Would avoid unless you enjoy off cream or stale cakes, the staff were terribly rude when we came in saying they had no booking for us even after us booking in advance. Took my mum for afternoon tea and when the tea was served the cups were dirty and covered in stains, when the food came out the little cakes were stale and the clotted cream was warm and liquidy with a horrible off smell to it. When we complained to the staff member he claimed that it was “meant to be like that” because it’s clotted cream and claimed the cake had been made fresh that morning but it was hard as nails. Less than impressed to say the least, no offer for any compensation or apologies for the inconvenience, quick enough to take your money though

Wonderful Sunday lunch.Will certainly be back.Food and Staff were great.

Great place for a meal. 3 courses menu is reasonably priced and food is tasty. Amazing service as well. We will definitely go back.

Everything was lovely 😍 👌 injoy the food

Had a delicious Sunday lunch. Fantastic value for money. 3 courses for £20. Absolutely gorgeous food and service was very good. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat. Food was delicious and the service was fantastic especially for the fact that they are all students!! Had a wonderful meal and I really enjoyed every aspect of it.

Great service, great food, the bread was so fresh and delicious, the scotch egg was the best I've ever had (and I've had a few!) The lamb Ragu was also fantastic, I'd prefer the pasta to be pulled through the Ragu but that is a personal preference, spotlessly clean restaurant, you can see the guys working in the kitchen, I'm surprised it wasn't busier, do the people of Wrexham know what they are missing?

Fabulous Sunday lunch, went for the great British roast off between Brad & Tom, Brads were the best by far sorry Tom too much Salt on urs. Service was excellent !! Great value for Money! Everything freshly made, Yorkshire puds really tasty, couldn’t fault anything !! Definitely will return.

Best Sunday lunch in wrexham, service is amazing too.

Food as always delicious and very reasonably priced. Great to be able to support students in their catering training. Spread the word!

Beautiful restaurant, good staff and absolutely delicious food. Quality is clear and tastes sensational with great presentation throughout the meal. Highly recommended. Hidden gem.

Invited their when we were in Wales to see & it was good setting good staff and very friendly

We took a group of 17 people for a Christmas meal here and it was fantastic! Food was lovely, service was great and the decor was beautiful! Thankyou to everyone who was involved!

Had 3 course Xmas dinner- very nice- excellent from start to finnish.

We hired the restaurant for an 80th birthday celebration, a buffet style afternoon tea. The food was delicious, the staff were attentive & very friendly and nothing was too much for them. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in a lovely venue.

Food was excellent (though could have been hotter)! I will definitely be visiting again.

Had a fantastic evening here for our christmas works party, food and service was fantastic. I will definitely be back.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while! Don't really want to review it because I want it to be kept a secret! Love going here!

I have been supporting this restaurant since the older building and it continues to be a great choice. Sunday lunch today was great value and extremely tasty with good ingredients. Cauliflower cheese a little bit too al dente maybe? But what I don't understand with this restaurant is it's marketing has always been terrible and continues to be. The menus only state it is open at lunch times when it is open in the evenings at weekends I believe, and they do need this self promotion. For some reason marketing issues have gone on for years, must be the college connection?! Nevertheless, great service, great food, lovely environment.

I've wanted to try Coleg Ial for some time and WOW, it didn't disappoint! A beautiful venue with wonderful smiling faces on arrival. We've been looking to replace a favourite Sunday venue of ours which sadly had to close it's doors recently and I believe we've found it here. Wonderful Service, absolutely stunning food in a beautiful restaurant. These young chefs should be proud of themselves with food like this, absolutely outstanding! Roast beef cooked to perfection with stunning accompanying veg, the Cauliflower cheese is an absolute must on the side too. The chocolate pudding was stunning and I'm not even a pudding fan😊 A very special mention must also go to the lovely young gentleman who seated us, Ryan and 'Jojy Joseph' too, impeccable service with wonderful smiles...what a credit to any establishment. If you haven't tried it, you're truly missing out... can't wait to return 😊 £17.50 for 2 courses of this exemplary standard is outstanding! Thank You very much to all😊

We went for an early dinner. There were already some people inside and it filled up as we ate It's run by the College for on the job training for students. Service was prompt and professional and the food was excellent. They have a wine and drinks menu as well. The best bit was the bill. An excellent night for half the price of somewhere of the se standard. We will definitely use it again

Amazing steak. It was pretty quiet, as we were there just after opening, no reservation and seated and served quickly. Staff are very chatty, but sometimes miss out parts of order. The mains are quite small dishes you will want dessert!

Very friendly and attentive staff. Service was excellent. Afternoon tea was a delightful experience.

Love this place. Food is unreal 😋

Fantastic meal and service will definitely be back thank you

My particular meal wasn't my favourite but the staff were very nice and seamed more like humans than npc's

Beautiful place to relax with friends. Service was great, couldn't fault the food either. Will be going back soon. Thank you.

Really good food, excellent service, very quick.

Shared a lovely afternoon tea with friends in a relaxing atmosphere great food brilliant service,will definitely be going back.

A fabulous lunch today with colleagues. Will definitely be back with friends and family.

We visited outside of term time and it was quiet but still with a great atmosphere, attentive service and wonderful food.

A truly fantastic, eating experience. The Food was divine. The dessert was some sumptuous and scrumptious. The service was great thanks to Ollie ,Ryan and George, who made sure I was well catered for. I had the Roast beef dinner which was excellent value for money with the two set menu, which was perfect for a Sunday outing. Their homemade crisps are out of this world too ,make sure you try them. Ambience of the restaurant is fantastic and the whole experience was a delight. I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a shining diamond in the heart of Wrexham’s Coleg Cambria campus. Amazing 🤩

Phenomenal service coupled with well presented classical dishes. Highly recommend!

This is a real asset to Wrexham. The best quality food available, at incredible value. It's also a fantastic training environment for students at Coleg Cambria, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed.

What an absolutely amazing place! Right from the start Simone made us feel so welcome and special. The food was 10 our of 10. Please try roasted peppers soup outstanding and the desserts just wow. Beautiful place with an amazing staff that made our evening even more special. I can easily say we found our favourite place in Wrexham. Highly recommended.

Has to be the best Sunday roast in Wrexham. Everything on the plate was delicious. The roast potatoes were amazing, probably the best I’ve ever had! The set menu is £15 which includes a main and a desert. We also had the soup to start and it was delicious. Will definitely be returning in the near future!

Had afternoon tea. My only criticism would be that I had the crust for my sandwich. Everything else was great. Brilliant staff, lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go there again.

An excellent place used as a training college. Wonderful food, excellent service and very friendly staff.

Love this place for lots of reasons, not least that it gives work opportunity and experience to students at the college. It's attached to the college building but it's not a canteen, cafe or refectory it has the layout, ambiance and service of a quality eatery. The service and food has always been top draw and if things couldn't get better their prices are competitive. Treat yourself, go and enjoy a meal in one of the best restaurants in town.

Tried the Sunday Roast Beef dinner today and it is the best roast I have had. Great food- all fresh. Fantastic service and a great setting. Will definitely eat here again.

Top quality food and service with real value for money.

A true 'Hidden Gem'. Quality of food (generally) fantastic. Small range across all courses. The Humous starter was the best we have ever tasted and having their Home-Made crisps was unique. 2 of the 3 mains were wonderful, but sadly the remaining main (Fillet Steak) was not hot; somewhere between warm and tepid. The accompanying Coated onion ring and half tomato were also both cold. Looks as if all were previously cooked and forgotten to be warmed through. Such a shame. Putting that disappointment to one side, the desserts were stunning. We understand that the site is part of the University and is used by trainee chefs and servers. If so, the future looks good. The manager looked after us well and the attention shown by the server was top quality. We will definitely return.

High quality top food, quieter than it should be to be honest as the food is incredible.

Absolutely amazing! Friendly warm welcome. Superb food. Lovely attentive staff. Cannot wait to return, thank you!

Excellent food & service hygiene out standing of all the restaurants I’ve eaten at ial restaurant beats them all

Fantastic Food with a Side of Disappointment I recently had the pleasure of dining at the trendy and stylish iâl Restaurant, and I must say that my overall experience was excellent, with just a minor hiccup in the cocktail department. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and full of energy. The service was truly exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who catered to our every need. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience, providing thoughtful recommendations and making us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, each dish showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The attention to detail in the presentation was commendable, and the taste exceeded all our expectations. It was evident that the culinary team takes great pride in their work, which translated into a delightful gastronomic journey. However, the one aspect that let down our otherwise wonderful experience was the cocktails. Specifically, the Mojito, which was very disappointing. Served in a glass that was mostly filled with soda water, the flavors of the rum, mint, and lime were diluted to the point of being barely discernible. The result was a lackluster beverage that did not live up to the high standards set by the rest of the meal. Despite the disappointing cocktails, I would still rate iâl Restaurant at a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The exceptional food and service more than made up for the one shortcoming in the drink department. I would highly recommend visiting iâl for a delightful culinary experience, but be prepared to seek out alternative options for your cocktail fix.

Lovely meal for 3 on a Friday evening. Food and service first class, excellent presentation. Great value. Looking forward to our next visit!

First class food and service. Lovely to be served by trainees from the college.

Fab food, good service, competitive prices. Will come again.

What a lovely evening ! Excellent food ! Staff were friendly attentive and very proffesional ! Relaxed atmosphere ! Definately will be back ! Thankyou x

Best dining experience I've had in a long time. Lovely food, excellent service. I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it. Not cheap, but not overly expensive for the quality of food that is served. I recommend it without hesitation and I'll definitely be back to try something else.

Lovely Christmas meal.with friends last evening...would highly recommend...

Spot on. Great service, lovely food.

We went for Christmas Dinner and it was excellent. Lovely food, customer service very good. A nice restaurant.

Excellent food, ambiance and first class service. I'd definitely return and would recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful clean ,modern .The staff where lovely very attentive, The food was truly amazing ,fine dining, little hidden gems on the plate like the cucumber sorbet with the prawn starter beautiful pieces of steak cooked to perfection .The desserts where amazing too not just cheesecake plonked on a plate it came with a delicate sorbet alcoholic tasting cherries truly amazing on their own .Hidden gem ,you feel like your in a top restaurant in Cardif .Price wise excellent value for money for a fine dining experience.

Visited for vegetarian Sunday dinner and was very impressed. The restaurant itself is beautiful; intimate & well spread out. The playlist was great too. Waiter was knowledgeable and didn’t keep hassling about drinks which was nice. Food came out quick. Everything was delicious. Devoured in minutes. Many flavours and generous gravy. Will be visiting again

A fantastic meal this evening. Great service and the food was outstanding- just wish I had room for dessert. A hidden gem in Wrecsam.

A massive Thankyou for the best afternoon tea we have ever had Also the excellent, attentive service in a lovely setting Well done everyone Will definitely be back Highly recommend

Myself and five friends visited Ial for the first time today and we were blown away by the standard of the food, the staff and the restaurant itself. Nice menu choices and the staff were all very attentive. Something of a hidden gem, we will definitely be revisiting! Thank you all for looking after our little group so well!xx

This was my first time visiting iâl Restaurant and it was lovely. Friendly staff, who are all learning while on the job. Well Done!!

Had afternoon tea food was very well presented & very tasty, staff were very friendly & attentive overall best I've ever had in Wrexham

This is a must for Sunday lunch, Saturday brunch or lovely meal in the week.....the restaurant itself has a lovely relaxed vibe and the staff are so friendly and attentive...nothings touch trouble. I love this place...reasonable priced food which feels a treat each time. Walk in or book which ever suits. The sourdough with oil and butter is a must....

Visited for Sunday lunch today. Excellent customer service from the manager....thank you. Food was superb, would highly recommend a visit. Would agree that this the best place to eat in Wrexham !!

Lovely place with really nice food and friendly staff 👌 Will definitely be going back

Splendid young people training as chefs, waiters etc. Food excellent!

Great restaurant for training skills. Food and sevice were excellent

Very good food and a great prices!

We had a lovely evening last night celebrating a friends 65th birthday, all waiters and waitresses were very organised and helpful , all three courses were tasty and presented very well , will definitely be coming back 😊

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Wrecsam. Cocktails were amazing, food was really really good and service was excellent. Loved the vibe and atmosphere but it was too quiet for somewhere so nice! Loved that it's linked to the college too.

A great little find in Wrexham and would recommend a visit, the restaurant itself has a nice fresh look with it's fixtures and fitting you would find in any pricy restaurants in bigger city. A good bar and cocktail list where prices are reasonable so you can have a couple of cocktails. The price of food was a little pricey i thought but it is worth it. Great service fro the waiter who was very informative and happy to answer any questions. The octopus which is not an easy dish to get right was done amazing. The only small let down was the skin on my pork belly was not crisp enough for my liking. In saying that i am looking forward to come back again, maybe for the brunch or the afternoon tea.

Everything about our visit was excellent. Can't wait to go again.

Excellent service, affordable prices, taste at the highest world level. Best restaurant in Wrexham highly recommendable.
