Iries in Ceredigion

We called into the Black Lion in Aberaeron about 2:30 for some lunch. The two of us, plus our granddaughter and the dog. I asked if we were ok to bring the dog in and was told he was more that welcome. He got served before us as once we were seated they brought him a bowl of water! We ordered drinks and food. The food was exceptional. (We asked for and was given a takeaway container to take what we didn't eat home, it was that nice. We would 100% recommend going there, and will be visiting again ourselves. Very friendly and helpful staff (all three of the ones who we spoke to) 6 stars all the way as I can't give a 5 plus.

An impromptu visit to this lovely looking traditional pub. We were greeted by a friendly man behind the bar and I assume was the owner ( thank you) a lovely bar area and setting for a family meal. We had a beautiful Thai meal and the Prosecco was fizzy. We will return when visiting Aber.

What a wonderful couple who run the deli/cafe/restaurant. It is Aberystwyth's treasure. The food cooked by Mario and his wife Chiara is amazing and very reasonably priced. They are an important part of the community and they care.

When you’re by the seaside, having an ice cream is almost inevitable! Mine was from the Pier Ice Cream Parlour, a street facing kiosk which is part of the Royal Pier. It serves a range of interesting flavoured ice creams, along with a choice of cones or tub. My Smartie waffle cone with honey flavoured ice cream was tasty…and the round wafer was so cute!

Lunch Y Sgwar Located outside Nathan Davies’ SY23 restaurant, a casual, outdoor venue. Essentially, Y Sgwâr is an umbrella-covered, glass-sided terrace dotted with wicker armchairs and high bar stools, plus a smoking BBQ at one end – from which ultra-simple small plates emerge when ready. As we're eating later, we chose just a few dishes to keep us going. We could have devoured the whole menu, and the choice was tough. Prawns - Nam Jim £12 Chicken- Lemon- Sesame £12 New Potatoes - Garlic Aioli- Lemon £4 Who'd have thought potatoes could be this delicious. Service is chilled but attentive. Aberystwyth is a breezy spot at the best of times, but the glass partitions, brollies, and heaters really keep the wind out.
