La Marina Cei in Gwynedd

We have thoroughly enjoyed our visit to La Marina twice now. The food is delicious, the staff are so attentive. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is perfect.

Hidden little gem. Lovely location Excellent service, friendly staff. Beautiful meals . Will certainly be back in the near future

What an amazing place for a meal. Lovely well presented and good choice. I had the pork belly with satay sauce and my wife had the chicken skewers. Go for the house red which was lovely. The staff and chefs were second to none. Don't miss the opportunity.

Great find, value,quality and fantastic service. This is the second time we’ve taken advantage of the the bottomless brunch offer. Food was amazing, service outstanding friendly and so attentive and the cocktails were just delicious and kept flowing. Best place for locals and visitors. We will be back for sure 👌🏼

A lovely welcome with a special birthday touch by friendly staff. The tapas were gorgeous, especially the chorizo in honey and cider, which was honestly the best chorizo tapas we have had. Thank you to all. We will definitely be coming back.

An excellent experience from the moment we stepped into this lovely restaurant - had a very warm welcome on arrival. We both ordered the special of the evening - steak and prawns - which was absolutely delicious 👌 We also ordered the salt and pepper chips to share - which was again lovely. Drinks were flowing, good choice of beers, wines and cocktails. Enjoyed the brownie too! It was a very busy evening - the staff were all working very hard to give everyone a fantastic evening. Would definitely recommend for couples, families and friends. Diolch yn fawr - bendigedig ! 👌

Stunning please. staff fantastic. Great prices Restaurant is a beautiful place to eat. the food was out of this world. We went as a party of 5 (with a autistic child) and the staff where just outstanding so accommodating very patient. Customer service was above and beyond I would highly recommend this restaurant if your ever in the area thank you so much for making our lunch and giving us a brilliant experience specially when I had the added pressure of my child who just needed that little bit of patients and wow you delivered everything perfectly. it really was appreciated. Thank you 🙂

Lovely setting and great service . Loved the choice of food. The Tempura battered mushrooms were gorgeous. Would go again

The menu is a bit of an unusual mix but I liked it and it was all very tasty. Cocktails were good and service really friendly. Perfect evening and a nice surprise when the bill came in a lot cheaper than we expected. Would definitely go again

Great little restaurant in a good location. The menu is small and a bit of a mish mash of tapas dishes - Spanish/European dishes (chorizo) sitting alongside some oriental staples such as sesame prawn toasts but it all seemed to work. We ordered a selection of dishes for four to share and we had more than enough - portions were good and we thoroughly enjoyed each dish. We visited on a cold, very wet Saturday evening and Wales had just lost their rugby world cup quarter final match but we still received a very warm welcome from staff and we had a very pleasant evening there.

We booked a bottomless brunch for 12 people for a hen night. Staff were very accommodating and let us go there early to decorate ready for the ‘hens’ arrival. Food was delicious, very generous portions and all arrived in a timely manner. The staff were friendly our table was looked after by Ella & Mel. They ensured our glasses were always full and the plates were cleared promptly to give us some room for some hen party games. Nothing was too much trouble. Really enjoyed!! Would highly recommend

Booked a table for a meal yesterday, the food was delicious!! We ordered a couple of dishes to share between us and it was full of flavour. Highly recommend the duck flat bread it was so tasty. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will 100% be back again.

Limited menu - not what is shown on website. Food arrived at random, with gaps in between. Food was ok, nothing awful but quite bland. Creme brulee for dessert was not a creme brulee, more like a panna cotta . Location great, but some tables cramped - having to get diners on other tables to leave their seat for you to leave your table. Waiting on staa very friendly, although host was somewhat gruff when we arrived - not very welcoming. Expensive for what you got - really disappointed, will not be returning.

A beautiful little tapas bar. Lovely food and amazing service, my fiancee and i were made to right at home from the get go, the best place to eat in Caernarfon, and such a romantic atmosphere with contemporary music in the background. Thanks to management and staff for a lovely experience. Would highly recommend

What a fabulous find. We shared several plates of tapas for tea. All were stunning. Can’t fault the place at all. Thank you so much.

Fabulous meal today. We sat outside and enjoyed the view. Food was delicious (we all had something different - all really good). Thank you Melanie for looking after us😀

Popped in mid afternoon. Had salt and pepper chips and 2 of the varieties of belly pork, alongside olives. Honestly, stunning flavours, and the nicest belly pork we have ever eaten. Later found out the kitchen had actually shut, but they still managed to make...

Fabulous little place. Just happened to stumble across it as we walked passed from where we had parked the car and so glad we did. A dog friendly place and certainly people friendly. Wonderfully attentive, friendly and helpful staff. Although a small menu there is...

Wow Wow Wow. From the first step in the door we were treated like royalty, so friendly and professional. The food was absolutely increadible, big shout out to the Manager there for suggesting their flatbread and sourcream special. Started the night of perfectly. But kore...

We’ve been numerous times! Evey time we visit the staff are friendly, the food is delicious and theres always a good selection of drinks/cocktails Could not recomend enough!!

Bland, expensive food. Not a patch on the La Marina in Felinheli. Ordered the lobster and ‘risotto’ but received bland overcooked long grain rice! Such a shame, would love to see this place thrive as it has SUCH potential.

We stumbled upon this place by chance, but really glad we did. The food was excellent as were the staff. And boy do they know how to sell a pudding and it worth it 😁 Thank you for a wonderful evening!

I had been to the restaurant before but my husband had never been. So as it was our 48 wedding anniversary I thought it would be nice to take him. Wow we were not disappointed the food was absolutely brilliant. The staff are so lovely...

Fantastic tapas restaurant near the Castle, service was great and food outstanding. The restaurant specializes in Mediterranean food and did not disappoint!

We have just returned from a fab night out at La Marina Cei in Caernarfon. The food was excellent, service super friendly and lovely setting. Thanks Alex and lovely lady who served us. We'll be back! Dilys (92 year old!), Rich, Carwyn, Dave & Debbie.

Had a catch up with a dear old friend. Food was first class. Never been before and booked using an online app. Staff were really flexible to give us best table available, despite the booking. Well worth more visits, in a competitive Town for evening...

Went here for lunch and left feeling very disappointed. Last time we were here was just before Christmas and it was a much better experience then. Since then the menu has changed, the portions have got smaller and the prices more expensive. We used to...

An overall different experience as this restaurant is not managed well at all. It started when I made the online booking paid the deposit. After receiving no confirmation I rang and the gentleman couldn’t find my booking then said it had appeared. Asked for a...

Different menu to that on the website. Menu has changed and is very limited. Food quite bland. Service poor. Will not visit again

We ended up leaving, we sat there for over 15 minutes waiting for a waitress to order drinks looking at the tiny menu which is not what is on the website. The menu on the website has 7 fish dishes and 5 meat dishes but...

Not great. Ordered lobster rissotto. Got a deep fried lump of lobster on a bed of tasteless risotto. So disappointed 😞

Title says it all really. Nice place to go for a drink and something basic to eat in summer. However, we stood in the bar whilst the manager passed us to go out with her pouch for a smoke! The other two young waitresses were...

Merched y Wawr, Trawsfynydd visted La Marina Cei, Thursday 18th May and had a fantastic meal, the service was excellent. Staff were very welcoming and after ordering all the meals came out together. The seabass was excellent, nothing but praise for all the meals. Will...

Not impressed, been twice, first time was great, second time food was burnt especially the flatbread pudding was rock solid must be different chefs so won’t chance it again incase I get the wrong chef Nice setting but you expect that

Visited la Marina on New Years Eve with friends. I’d say it was a mixed feelings kind of evening, some really good bits and some not so good. The staff were very polite and the place was clean and tidy. We settled in, ordered some...

Expensive for what you get. Ordered halloumi which was tastless and rubbery. Patatas bravas were deep-fried square chips. Trout salad had very limp lettuce and had obviously been pre-prepared and sat for a while so quite soggy. Very disappointing meal which wasn't cheap. Unfortunately will...

Visit with friends. They enjoyed the food, I wasn’t keen. Flatbread was a basic cheese pizza, not much taste. We shared other food and it wasn’t to my taste. Found it expensive for what it was. But don’t be put off coming if you like...

Excellent friendly service and lovely food, reasonably priced Will visit again and recommend to others

Went on an impromptu visit as son was playing football at the local club. Staff very welcoming and food beautiful.. both in taste and presentation. We had ham Sunday lunch in a Yorkshire pudding wrap. Would highly recommend

Bwyd da, awyrgylch da , gwin da - a'r staff yn gwenu trwy'r pnawn. Pnawn braf iawn. Yn argymell y lle I eraill. Diolch......

We’re staying just round the corner, so visiting was a must. What can I say? The food was delicious - we left the bits we didn’t like - clean plates with nothing left on them. The staff could not have been more friendly. The “nibbles”...

Menu looked impressive- what we were served was terrible! Three of my friends had the chicken waffle which was so over cooked it was burnt black. Another friend had prawn pad thai- a bag full of nuts and 3 prawns is what she was served....

Visited on a Sunday evening for a date night meal. After looking about and deciding to go outside our usual spots I booked a table for me and my partner. The menu looked very impressive and I was excited for our meal. However what arrived...

Thought the place had lots of potential and was disappointed mostly with standard and quality of the meals not really value for money. Wont be returning in a hurry.

Really disappointing place! Food as described on the menu sounded lovely but in reality was nothing like the description. The desserts in particular were terrible! Over priced! So much potential…. Would not go back and sadly having spoken to a few people they all have...

My partner, our small dog & I visited la Marina cei Caernarfon tonight on the off chance that they may be able to accommodate us as unfortunately we had not booked a table. The hostess a lovely lady called Faith kindly found us a table...

One of the best parts of this restaurant is the interesting food. A take on small plates and tapas style but with multiple Asian or fun twists. I had the duck spring roll, jerk salmon and soy pork belly - all cooked well and full...

Travelling round the coast of wales. Not wanting to keep stopping at service Stations, i pulled into this town and parked by the harbour. This place was the first place i found to eat. Very friendly and clean. The menu is amazing with top quality...

The food is faultless. Absolutely delicious. We demolished most of the fish menu between us and everything was top quality. One thing to note is advertised opening on trip advisor and Google are wrong. We nearly missed out because of this. Highly recommended

Heard good things about the restraunt so went along with two kids. The staff were great & welcoming & the small outdoor space was a nice place for a drink before food. The menu was varied & we chose 5 dishes between two adults, the...

We visited with family on the 21st as one of the family knows the mum of the chef there. We were greeted warmly by staff and the food was amazing especially the butterscotch blondie, which my husband said was the best dessert he'd ever had!...

My husband and I stopped for a drink during our walk yesterday. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and brought us a sample of their delicious chicken and caramelised onion flat bread while we sat outside looking at the castle. I had a glass...

Finally came here for lunch having wandered past a few times and smelled the gorgeous food and seen how popular it is. Lovely rooms inside and a nice outdoor area under a huge canopy, offering views of the castle and the harbour. We had coffee...

Delicious tapas based menu, including a list of gluten-free options. Stunning setting, friendly staff. Just needs some Pant Du cider adding to the bar. Highly recommended.

We visited in August on a beautiful sunny day and had a fantastic time. The location was superb. The service and hospitality was second to none - warm, affable and made our day! Food was delicious and a really interesting menu. We have 3 kids,...

What a find. Superb view of the castle and estuary with parking on the doorstop. Quick pit stop with my fiancé for a bite before looking round the local area. Blown away - the food was as delicious as it sounded as per the varied...

We stopped off for lunch before visiting the castle. We sat outside but went in to order. The interior is beautifully presented, the outside overlooked the water and the castle. Staff were friendly and helpful and made suggestions on dishes we might enjoy. We ordered...

Just had the most amazing meal. Southern fried chicken waffle with maple butter, roasted chicken flatbread with rustic chips and potatas bravas. For dessert churros rice krispie cheesecake and strawberry and Ruby chocolate popsicle which is the most amazing dessert I've ever tasted. Staff were...

Fabulous food, in an informal relaxed environment Good service and choice We were made to feel welcome. Lots of different dishes to try, we’re ordered lots of different ones as there were 8 of us. They were all great

Had a meal on Saturday evening 06/08/22 @ La marina Cei , wow , was not disappointed, food was fantastic… staff were friendly but Melanie did stand out from the others , she was amazing , couldn’t do enough , & considering they were mad...

We enjoyed a great meal for 5. Prompt service. Tasty food. Good selection for us as three of the party are pescatarian. Very nice location next to the marina/ castle. Style is tapas / sharing

We were in a little hurry and we found this new little restaurant about the Afonseiont River in front of the castle. The staff was pleasant, quite helpful and tried to meet our time-sensitive requests. We were pleasantly surprised with the meal because it was...

Went for a quick meal. Only tried 3 dishes and some chips between the two of us and left nicely full though I'd imagine you couple eat half again if you were staying a while. The lobster was good but the lamb with mint dip...

Outstanding food, quality service, and a beautiful setting! We highly recommend a trip here for unusual, but tasty tapas!

We were fortunate to have good weather so were able to dine outside overlooking the harbour. Friendly staff and good food. Would certainly come again.

The food here is outstanding. Each dish is full of flavour and is delicious. The Welsh Lamb croquettes and mint dip are amazing! We called in early evening and the staff were so accommodating and managed to fit us in. Everyone is so friendly and...

The evening didn't get off to a good start because there was a mix up with the booking - we had to wait over an hour for our table but it was a nice evening and there were tables outside for us to enjoy a...

Excellent tapas, great menu, food was very tasty and good quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend. Outdoor seating area with a lovely view

A lovely restaurant on Caernarfon harbour. We had olives and chorizo followed by char Sui Monkfish and salt and pepper fries. It was all packed with flavour and really punchy. The chorizo came in a cider and honey dressing which was a sensation and made...

Bwyd a gwasanaeth o'r radd flaenaf. Lleoliad hyfryd wrth y cei. Roeddem yno fel grwp o 7 o'r gwaith i ffarwelio ag un o'n plith a chawsom noson i'w chofio! Byddwn wir yn ei argymell! / Food and service excellent! Lovely location at the Quay...

We booked here after finding so many other restaurants in Caernarfon were closed on a Sunday evening,but what a find! We chose 3 meat dishes, 3 fish dishes and potato plates and everything was superb. Haven't enjoyed a meal so much for a long time....

We was recommended by a local about the restaurant and ‘my word’ what a recommendation! We had around 6x plates between us and each dish, recommended by the staff, was brilliant. Cruzcampo on fraught as well made my evening. Prices were similar to restaurants nearby...

This is our 3rd time visiting La Marina Cei. Food was sublime as usual, no complaints. Shame that our night was spoiled by the patronising attitude of one of the managers in regards to a mix up with the booking, and the attitude received by...

After riding on the Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadoc, a group of us call in at this restuarant, and were accommodated at a good table upstairs with a view out of the window over the marina. We we were able to choose suitable meals to...

Entirely faultless. Staff were warm, friendly and accommodating. The location is beautiful and the food, absolutely incredible. Service is impeccable. I recommend the mussels and the sesame waffle with halloumi. This place is an absolute dream dinner spot, a must visit if you’re in Caernarfon!

Excellent food with a modern twist. Fantastic quality and quantity. Attentive staff who are able to answer questions about the meals. Lovely setting overlooking the water. All in all, a very pleasant evening. Thank you. EHB.

I came here to celebrate a big birthday with friends over the bank holiday weekend. It was my first visit, and it certainly won’t be my last. The staff were lovely and friendly, there was a very good choice on the menu (something for all...

Really really tasty seafood. My husband and I shared about 7 tapas I think. All seafood and some sides. Couldn't fault a single dish. They were all seasoned and cooked incredibly well. Definitely will be coming here again. A great new addition to Caernarfon

If you are in North Wales, you must visit! The best meal we have ever had. Gutted we live so far away!

Aeth y staff allan o'i ffordd i ni ac oedd Chris yn enwedig o dda. Oedd y bwyd yn wych, mor braf cael rhywbeth gwahanol yng Nghaernarfon. Wir edrych ymlaen cael dŵad yn ôl!

Delicious breakfast, thank you to the chef Rita. Plenty of choice, very clean. We will be returning very soon.

Very busy restaurant. We had a side room which was quieter. The food was extremely good. The Patatas bravas and the lamb croquettes were exceptional as were the flatbreads. Highly recommend this place.

Second visit here and it only got better. Amazing food and service. Can’t fault anything. Amazing coffee, amazing beer, amazing food. Highly recommend the pork…. Quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Plenty of dishes to choose from. Will definitely be returning!

Stumbled upon this place and will definitely return, a lovely addition to Caernarfon. We chose 4 Small plates at lunchtime and they were delicious, lovely vibe, great staff, keep up the good work!!

Beautiful food, friendly and professional service. All staff were incredible. Special thanks to Chris for entertaining us. See you soon!!

What a lovely place , beautiful location, delicious food served by very efficient and friendly staff ,already booked another visit.

We visited twice it was so good. Have been to many places in the area but this is by far the best. Lovely food, service, decor and location. So good we visited twice in a few days and have booked again. It’s tapas style and...

Spotted this restaurant on FB when looking for somewhere to eat in Caernarfon on a Sunday evening. What a find! Lovely Tapas style dishes which were full of flavour. The service was excellent, friendly, efficient and professional. The food was presented beautifully. We loved the...

Lovey last minute spot for some lunch. Food was fabulous (we had the flatbreads, the croquettes and the rustic chips). The service was ok (could’ve been a tad better, not sure if the person was new). Food was quick once order was taken and didn’t...

Bwyd da iawn a gwasanaeth gwych gan Melanie.Mi fyddai nol! / Good food & excellent service by Melanie.I’ll be back soon

Amazing experience, the food was exceptional from the fantastic tastes to the most beautiful presentation that was a pity to spoil. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, our table was in a small room so it was like private dining which was nice. Plenty...

Managed to get a table due to a cancellation. I'm glad we did! The food was excellent, the staff great and a lovely atmosphere. Would recommend to all!

Booked a table for my wife’s birthday and boy it did not disappoint, The food was excellent and also the staff were brilliant too, will definitely be back again, highly recommended.

Visited La Marina Cei to purchase a voucher for an anniversary present and decided to stay for lunch with my son and grandaughter. What an unexpected treat. Not only was the venue pristine, food very tasty but the service was excellent. Staff were polite and...

Food as in the Felinheli restraunt was sublime. Plenty of choice for everyone's liking, very reasonable prices too. Staff we're friendly making it a great evening.

Well what could I say the atmosphere of the restaurant looked cosy and the meal I chose was the fillet steak for mains and pistachio orange cake for dessert and both tasted delicious and well presented.
