Llugwy Restaurant in Conwy

Loved this place.... until I saw the foie gras pics here. What the hell like, it's 2024, read the room. No one wants a side order of unnecessarily barbaric, tortured bird...well i guess sadly some of you do...but you're certainly in the minority leaving the rest of us aghast. Do better. We're better than that.

It was ok, but I wouldn't go back. We waited way too long for the food. They did offer us a free pudding, but there were no real gluten free options. I ordered a salad that was plain, flavourless and boring! It was pretty much the only thing on the menu I could order. Disappointing.

Had Sunday lunch! Tried the three courses! Maybe next time,I will just stick to two courses! As the start was so much larger than I thought! I had the liver pate! Followed by the beef dinner, then sticky toffee pudding! Lovely place to eat , very relaxing, staff were lovely and friendly! And prices were good value! 👍

Sunday dinner was perfect! No problem with gluten free requirements

We came in after our walk to book table for dinner after reading wonderful reviews. 2 staff members was chatting around. We waited near please wait till seated sign around 5 minutes. Girl looked to us twice while carrying on with whatever she was doing. After around 5 minute wait we walked out. Disappointed.

Excellent service and the food was delicious. Very friendly staff. My only concern was there was a party who were exceptional loud sitting very near to us so we were limited to the conversation we had as we couldn't hear .

Really good but could be better. Reduced light so not able to see what you are eating.

Lovely meal staff lovely. Very warm and tastefully decorated

Lovely hotel restaurant where the staff were incredibly lovely. They set up a table for us really quickly and the food was delicious. Decent portions, only the salmon fell on the smaller side. But keep in mind if you're strictly vegan or dairy free there aren't many options as my friend ended up just going with chips but their app is really great for filtering to see what foods you can eat with dietary restrictions. There's no parking if you're coming back from Snowdonia so turn left just before the restaurant and follow the road to park opposite the train station.

It was OK.. no problems, did not eat there

Very nice place, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff

We were a bit late for Sunday lunch and we hadn’t booked either but, we were shown to a nice table by the polite staff and presented with a nice uncomplicated menu. We both had the chicken breast which came with a delicious truffle sauce and fresh vegetables cooked perfectly. There is a good wine selection and a very tasty local ale. For desert we decided to share a cheese board with really tasty Welsh cheeses and it was just right for two to complete a delicious meal and a comfortable couple of hours in a warm enjoyable setting. Nice job guys!

We ate here as it was always so busy when we walked past and was well reviewed. We couldn’t get a table until 8:45 for 4 of us and by this time there were hundreds of tiny flys everywhere! This unfortunately made it really tricky to enjoy our meal! I’m not sure what the restaurant could do to combat it but until something is sorted we wouldn’t eat here again, although maybe earlier in the evening is better? The food was good, no complaints although they could do with a vegan burger! Nice drinks and excellent service. The staff were friendly and taking all the necessary precautions.

Very nice food at a reasonable price, definitely worth a visit, lovely waitress too think her name was Jen.

Great food, reasonably priced and the waitress was great..

Great service excellent food and a lovely ambiance. Highly recommend

Great food at good prices and really friendly service

Lovely food and pleasant staff 👍👍

Had a lovely meal at what i thought was reasonably priced. Lovely service

Great place great food and attentive staff. lovely night

We've eaten at about a hundred different restaurants, and this one is definitely in the top 3! The food is fresh and locally sourced. The menu has enough choices so there's something for everyone, but not so much that you can't choose. Portion sizes are big and the taste is amazing. Also deserts are nicely put on the plate and couldn't taste better. Unfortunately we were just on holiday nearby, but would love to eat here more often!

Fab place and really lovely food👍😁

Nice ambience, good service and food ok. Not nearly as good as the Bistro up the road and quite a bit more expensive.

First time in the beautiful village and thanks to others reviews we found this lovely hotel/restaurant! Service was excellent and whole family enjoyed all the food the lamb is highly recommended. If you like gin they have a great selection

Eating Grill Room in the hotel on a very wet day. 2 courses for £13.95 with a pint. Good food and local ale.

Toujours un très grand plaisir de revenir au Llugwy restaurant !...Côté repas, excellent ! Velouté de carotte pour se mettre en appétit. Terre et mer en entrée avec un mélange de porc et de coquilles saint Jacques très réussi. Filet de bar en plat principal avec une très bonne ratatouille. Eton mess rafraîchissant en dessert.Côté service, nous avons eu une serveuse très efficace et très attentionnée. Avec en plus un grand sourire, c'est super !...Enfin, comme c'était un mercredi soir, nous avons pu profiter de la présence d'une harpiste qui nous a enchanté avec un mélange de classique, de mélodies modernes et d'airs gallois. Vraiment très agréable !...

Nosotros dijimos que no estábamos llegando aquí de nuevo después de una comida horrible con pésimo servicio hace unos meses, pero llegamos a la ciudad tarde un sábado y este es el único lugar que puede llegar a última hora.El servicio era mucho mejor de lo que había sido pero de nuevo me mandaron en comida mal cocinada o sin comprobar que era cocinado o no les importa y espera que nadie se quejaría.Otro ejemplo de un lugar turístico que no dan un pimiento y ha dado por intentar porque siempre será más turistas. También nos enteramos de que una camarera que había trabajado allí durante un largo tiempo era ahora un chef. ¿Cómo es posible? Esta es una burla de la profesión y de los clientes.Ojalá hubiera ido al "fish and chips" en el puente.

No sé por qué este lugar se encuentra en el número 17? ? ?La comida que sólo tenía allí era mucho mejor que cenar en 'The Bistro 'no podemos creer.Dos platos principales, el pato y el bacalao, y una botella de vino Chardonnay chileno de 52 libras.Mismo precio que cenar en el Bistro del pato, pero era perfecto! llugwy ! !Y, los verdes que acompañó la cod eran fantásticos.No abrir los domingos, lunes o martes, que es una lástima.Altamente recomendado.

Booked in for birthday dinner. Wonderful food. Friendly service. Reasonable wine list. Generous portions. Highly recommended

Y aquí betwys mixto para un fin de semana. Y tenía buena pinta Llugwy buenas críticas. Así que, aquí está la otra! Nos sirvió el supervisor, un servicio y comida deliciosa servicial amuse bouche un excelente aperitivo de mama hermoso pastel de pato aceite de oliva ligero y lleno de sabor. El Merlot estaba lleno de fuselaje ancho. Ir de lo contrario te perderás un regalo. O no, pero te pierdes un regalo

Cálida bienvenida a una atractiva zona de comedor. Nos llevaron a una mesa y cuidaron muy bien durante nuestra comida por la misma camarera amable y atento (lo siento, no anote su nombre). La comida estaba muy rica y era bueno tener en cuenta que era de origen local. Sin duda volveremos aquí en nuestro próximo viaje al norte de Gales.

We always have a lovely meal here served by wonderful friendly staff, and Saturday night was no exception.

La semana pasada fuimos con mi esposa, nos pillaron por los £20 por 2 filetes y una botella de vino en nuestra primera promoción ion noche el pueblo. Bien, qué se puede esperar de ese dinero? !Nítida, rodajas cocidas de carne barata, oferta de vino barato, del tipo de cosas Tesco golpearon un fiver, o menos.Pero bueno, pagas tu dinero, lleva tu posibilidades, eh?El servicio bastante pobre, incluso se me olvidó el vino que venía con la oferta!A lo largo de la carretera de pop los establos/Grill - 3 minutos a pie - infinitamente mejor.

Warm atmosphere, friendly staff & absolutely excellent food. Highly recommended. We had steak from the specials menu (which was cooked to perfection) followed by fruit & nut chocolate fondant with raspberry sorbet, the best desert I've ever tasted!

This restaurant is part of the Royale Oak Hotel, if you are an animal lover please Google this hotel to find a very good reason not to eat here, the staff responsible for the VILE, INHUMANE act they carried out have apparently been sacked as a result, however the owner/manager continues to DEFEND it.

Decidimos comer en este restaurante con una bonita decoración de navidad buscando y un atractivo menú de 3 platos. La presentación de los platos era agradable, pero la calidad y el sabor de la comida no estaba en el mismo nivel, excepto la carne era genial!

We ate here on our first evening whilst staying at the Stables Lodge, excellent food, attentive service & exceptional value for money. Would highly recommend.

2eme fois que nous dînons dans ce restaurant, une fois en été et cette fois-ci en novembre.C'est toujours aussi bon et agréable. L'ambiance cosy est très bien adaptée à cette période de l'année.Les mets sont finement cuisinés.En entrée, coquilles saint Jacques et préparation au saumon et au fromage de chèvre. En plat principal, du bœuf accompagné d'un gratin dauphinois aux poireaux, original et délicieux. Quant aux desserts, c'était succulent : mousse aux fruits de la passion, et gâteau au chocolat !...Il ne nous manquait que le son de la harpe, mais la harpiste ne se produit que l'été (cela rajoute encore un plus à l'ambiance)...

The night we ate here the rest of the room was set for a wedding, so it felt slightly strange, but on an normal night it looked better. The service was very attentive and the quality of the food was really high. Cheeseboard excellent! Still very reasonably priced.

The open interior of the store has a nice feel. I went there twice during my stay and the food was delicious.

We read the reviews on here and gave it a whirl. Service was excellent the food was excellent and when you are paying a fixed menu price of £25 for three courses, plus we had a terrific amuse bouche of tomato and red pepper soup it is superb value for money. Separate kids menu which was excellent quality. Free parking after 5pm around the hotel which is in the heart of beautiful Betwys-Coed. Don't miss out, service was excellent as well

We stumbled across this restaurant, and what a find; a traditional hotel with quality food and great service.

Recently had 5 nights in Betwsy, eating at a different restaurant or pub each night. Not quite sure why this isn't No. 1. Excellent food and service. At only £25.00 for three courses, outstanding value. Really is worth a visit, best meal we had by a mile.

A gourmet restaurant at the foot of Snowdonia, what a treat.The food and service were first class. Try the rack of lamb, half lobster salad and the scallops, all excellent.

Booked to eat in the evening. Food really tasty and beautifully presented. Staff really friendly and surrounding made for a really lovely dinner.

I had Booked a meal here on Saturday night for 28 people. From the moment we arrived I knew that it was going to be good. The restaurant team are friendly and extremely accommodating.The food that I had was really good and the feed back from the group was they enjoyed their meals also, so with 28 people we more or less had a different dish from the entire set menu.Their are about 7 starters/mains/desserts to choose from. Good quality food at a reasonable price. A special thank you to Jennie she really looked after us and no request was too much she is a real credit to the Hotel.

Excellent food and perfect staff. We stopped for a dinner and it was really worth it. Brilliant food for reasonable prices. Delicious steak and really good mix of grilled fishes. Fondant was fantastic!!! Definitely recommend

Beautiful restaurant in amazing location. I had a three course dinner and was very impressed - three excellent plates. Services was good. Great wine selection. Can not wait to go back.

FrIendly service and good food, cheaper than the other side of the hotel (the grill). The food is fairly poshly presented and tastes good, with a few interesting mixes. It doesn't quite fully pull off the high end restaurant experience that it is clearly aiming for but actually for the price, it's nice to have a place that's half way there and easy on the budget.

We hadn't booked but we were shown to a table immediately. It was a menu for £25 per head with about 7 or 8 items to choose for each of the 3 courses. The food was excellent and the service great. A real treat all round.

Great menu. High standard of food; both flavor and presentation. Excellent value for money. Enjoyed beautiful harp music throughout our meal, on a Wednesday night.

We were recommended to try the Grill Bar at this hotel, which was not particularly well-patronised on a week night. The menu was pretty average, the decor tired and old-fashioned and the food, when it finally arrived, just average.

Ultra impressed with the food and the service. We even got our own harpist as we were the last ones in the restaurant later on. The hotel has two other restaurants but this one is quite elegant.The presentation of the meals was absolutely first class.

My only criticism is the menu had so many things I was tempted by that I was spoilt for choice. We tried the £25 3 course menu and our first hint of the delights to come was the Amuse Bouche of a tiny cup of local Rhug chicken and sweetcorn soup with an intense flavour which woke up the taste buds. We both chose the crisp pork belly with crackling and a delightful apple sauce, and to follow the lightly curried lamb, perfectly pink in the middle with bombay potatoes etc, and my favourite the hake sat on a creamy chowder full of local plump Menai mussels. My desert of passionfruit mouse and mango ice-cream sat on a bouquet of granola looked as good as it tasted. The menu is a feast of the best of local Welsh produce, superb flavours and textures, competently designed and cooked. The young lady who served us was charming and knowledgable. In all - a superb meal.

We were a group celebrating a special event. The staff went to great lengths to customise our booking. The food was really lovely and we had ample service. Some unexpected food extras in-between courses.I would recommend the menu. Be aware that there are literally two sides to the catering hereA cafe/ grill type and the other was formal dining and in-between a nice place for pre drinks or a coffee.great location in the heart of the village with ample parking opposite.

We decided to eat here as it was our last night in Betws y coed. We had the 3 course evening meal at £25 each. Each course was fantastic- tastes I has never tasted before! I had the scallops to start, the duck for the main, but the absolute cherry on top was the dessert- the pistachio and olive oil cake, with goats cheese and black olive ice cream! Sounds a little off-putting, (I'm not even a personal fan of olives!) but the entire ensemble worked together perfectly and I would recommend it to anyone who is even a little adventurous with their food.The staff there are marvellous, very attentive and smiley, and the atmosphere was quiet and romantic.I ate all three courses without leaving a single scrap- and left with a very happy stomach!

We were with a large group, but the wait staff worked well to fill all our needs and wants. The food was truly phenomenal - delicate sauces, great wine, beautiful presentation. The side dishes of breads, vegetables etc. were also so fresh and delicious, and although we felt too full for more, the desserts were irresistible! I wish I could go back regularly, but it is a long way from my home in midwest U.S.

I had dinner here on one evening of my three-night stay at the Royal Oak, and it was a delightful experience. I had a rabbit starter followed by grey mullet from the innovative menu, followed by a dessert. Service could not have been more professional and friendly. Astonishingly, the bill came to £47 and this included a bottle of wine and a glass of dessert wine - amazing value for such all-round quality!

Had a late-afternoon pre=booked dinner with a large group. Everyone had chosen their dishes from the set menu in advance, but some had forgotten what they had ordered - this was not a problem for the restaurant.. Room was attractively laid out, and service from cheerful staff was very good. The trout-eaters were very happy with their main courses, and those of us who opted for the local Rhug estate beef were delighted as it was tasty and tender. Plenty of veg, too, Can't comment on the vegetarian option. Good starters and desserts, too. My only disappointment was that, before choosing my dishes, I had emailed to ask about the trout sauce (was it heavy on saturated fat) but I never received a reply. So I played safe with the beef, and was happy with that choice.Good value.

We had the set meal for £25, which had a great choice of starters, main and desert. Could not fault meal at all, both my husbands and mine were perfect. Great taste, hot and plenty of it. The staff were very efficient and polite. Cannot wait to go back..

We dined in this restaurant on our recent stay in Betws-y-Coed. Although we had made a reservation with reception for the Saturday evening when we arrived there seemed to be some confusion about whether we were booked in (as we subsequently found out was the same with two or three other parties which arrived after us). We were eventually seated at a table, provided with menus, but then seemingly ignored while they saw to other guests which arrived after us. We were just about to leave when someone came to take our drinks order. The staff seemed not to know what was going on and were running around in a pointless direction. When our food was eventually served I must say it was very nice and the lady who was allocated to look after us did so very well and was very pleasant. I think the staff need some proper training. When you walk into the restaurant door instead of someone being there to take you to your table you end up just standing there while someone runs to the opposite end of the restaurant to check the bookings and then runs back to say 'can you hold on a moment'. We were not made to feel welcome. Would not go back.

We arrived on time to be shown to our table and handed our menus. We selected the wine we wanted for the waitress to bring the bottle to the table, unscrew the top and leave the wine and the top on the table? Most restaurants ask if you want to try the wine or failing that they offer to pour you a glass. I ordered the Welsh lightly curried rump of lamb for the main. While eating my starter the lady next to me was served the lamb main which was extremely well done. At this point I asked the waitress to make sure my lamb was pink. When the mains were served I was told because I hadn't given them much notice that was the best they could do. The lamb was ruined!I did complain to the waitress to have a supervisor who clearly does not know much about food tell me that the reason it is served well done is because it was lightly curried and had I gone to the grill they would have known to cook it pink as standard. They do not take feedback well and anyone who knows about food will know the rump should never be cooked through as it goes tough regardless of it being coated in spice or not. As I said to the supervisor they should at least have given me the option to wait for a pink main or come back to advise they couldn't serve it pink. Granted she did apologise for this but they could have just taken the feedback to begin with without trying to find excuses for a chef that should know better The glasses had lipstick and water marks on them and the candle holders are filthy. There is old wax in the bottom of them which needs scraping out and ours even had a used tea light which needed replacing. Hardly romantic or what you would expect from a restaurant. Waitresses and waiters just walk through the restaurant into the hotel areas without really looking at customers and getting their attention is difficult.While reasonably priced much better service is needed. I would not return.

We had a lovely evening meal here. The set meal was a great value at £25 and had a good variety to please all of us. Presentation of the dishes was classy and the taste was good. The dessert also came in large portions, which was very generous! When we dined at the grill bar next door, we noticed that they offered a similar dessert but was a bit disappointed to find that it was tiny compared to the one served here. Could not fault the service either, everything was just right. Would definitely dine here again!

We had dinner here one night as was recommended it.Was busy but not loudFriendly, quick service Food was delicious, it was the best pork belly Iv ever had !Big portions too and I couldn't even finish mine! Was very cheap too.Would of gone again if we stayed another night in the town

Stayed in the Royal Oak for two nights and ate in the main hotel restaurant, the Llugwy, on the first. A large comfortable room which overlooks the High St, so you get gawped at by passers-by if you sit in the window, but you have a memorable meal at the same time. Good, extensive wine list. Very attentitive service, with an adequate number of staff for the room for starters. Pan-seared scallops with asparagus puree and a parmesan tuille made a good starter. I then went for the Llandudno Bay lobster with raspberry and mango salad - delicious. Dessert was superb - an olive oil and pistachio cake (rather like a polenta cake) with black olive and goats cheese ice cream, supposedly with figs but I think they failed to make an appearance. But no matter, we were well pleased by this point. Three courses for £25 - a bargain with cooking at this level. Would put many of London's eateries to shame.

We dined here on a Friday evening and were amazed at how quiet it was. There was a party of 14 holidaymakers and just one other couple. They have a 3 course table d'hôte menu for £25 which we considered to be excellent value. There were 5 or 6 choices for each course. The dining room is pleasant, if a little on the formal side. The waitress service was very good indeed

An excellent inclusive priced menu offering a great selection of Welsh produce beautifully presented by good staff in lovely surroundings.

We visited this restaurant this evening for a special meal for our wedding anniversary. The food and service was absolutely first class. The head waitress who served us this evening was extremely friendly, very prompt and faultless. The food was beautifully presented and extremely tasty. A set price for the three courses of £25.00, came away feeling very satisfied and happy with the whole evening.

the food is very good rather than exceptional,the service is friendly and hospitable and the dining room is a perfect balance of traditional and contemporary.Dinner is £25 for three courses all of which major on seasonal and local ingredients and represents the best value for money in the area.Always a very pleasant experience thanks to staff who actually care a great deal about what they do.

Our third night in Betws and another restaurant. A pleasant dining room in the Royal Oak Hotel,with a harpist, and the atmosphere disturbed only by a loud group guide for a short period. A young and genuine waitress explained they were commencing with a new menu tonight,and they would welcome feedback. The menu provided a good choice. The wine list was limited but good value.Both our entrees were outstanding. What constructive comments we had about a main course were ,surprisingly,welcomed- a very rare occurrence in most restaurants where comments are invited but not welcomed. The waitress was outstanding in relaying those comments and thanking us. She managed the dining room impeccably. The cheese plate was huge,with interesting cheeses ,an excellent chutney,bara brith, crackers and fruit. We left completely satisfied and felt we'd had excellent service and been provided with good value. The best dinner in Betws for us so far. Try the new menu. It's very impressive.

We had been here a few years ago and had a memorable evening . unfortunately, the experience this time was just satisfactory. The Service was very good, the price good for 3 courses and the choice was fine . However, the decor was tired and the food did not live up to expectations. The pesentation of food was ok but lacked seasoning and just not there on flavours. We may have just caught them on a bad evening but we left a little underwhelmed.

We visited the restaurant whilst staying just outside Betws Y Coed. We opted to eat from the 3 course menu for £25. The choice was fantastic and all courses were superb! For the price we couldn't rate this highly enough, great portion sizes and wonderful cooking. As others have said, the setting is rather formal but with a relaxed dress code it allows you to eat well without the fuss (especially after a long days walking). If you get the chance, definitely eat here :)

Booked in advance as had looked busy when we walked past. Interesting menu choices include. Wood pigeon and scallops. Braised ox cheek was lovely main course. Cheese board with more than the usual cheddars, all in all a very nice meal. Pleasant and helpful staff. Would definitely eat there again

Out of most of the places in Betws-y-coed this one is very under rated. Mains are pretty big portions and value for money. Enjoyed time here and family liked it to. Also dog friendly place and ample seating outside.

I visited this place with my mother as she likes it, but it was not a particularly satisfying experience.The decor is very dated but the staff were welcoming and pleasant. The starter was fine, our deserts good but the main course was like carvery food. My beef and my mother's pheasant were both overcooked and rubbery. The vegetables weren't overcooked but tasted as if they had been cooked some time earlier and had been hanging about waiting for a customer. My Yorkshire pudding was like cardboard. This place isn't expensive but even so it was not value for money, the average home cooked roast will be better than this.Parking directly opposite, give the ticket stub to the waitress to have the charge refunded.

The food and service at this restaurant could hardly be faulted.Everything was cooked to perfection and served with efficiency and friendliness. The decor and atmosphere is perhaps a little formal but if you like that sort of thing then go here because you will not be disappointed.

This is the restaurant inside the Royal Oak Hotel, so a little more formal than the average pub or bistro, but the decor and ambience are very pleasant, and the service efficient and polite but not 'stuffy'. There was a 3 course meal for £25, which had a very good choice for each course, including some fish and vegetarian dishes and some slightly unusual variations. The food was very well cooked and presented and we found everything delicious. There is also a good wine selection, starting from around £14 a bottle.

We went to this restaurant for afternoon lunch. The restaurant was split Into two sections one was for the grill bar and the other for the lounge. We went into the grill bar. The food was marvellous I had mixed paella which contained squid, mussels , chicken and chrizo. The service was good, waiter was pleasant to us. Atmosphere was lovely and cosy.

very good menu with a good choice of meat and fish options, friendly helpful staff, lovely restaurant and best of all great food.

My niece and I are an excellent meal in here. I had the lamb three ways and it was very good. I would say excellent but I had the lamb rump in the grill restaurant and it was so exceptional it kinda spoiled this for me (probably comes from the same kitchen though). The harpist was excellent and provided excellent ambiance. Our server, Jennifer, was a delight.

We visited on a Weds evening when they have a harpist, which really added to the ambience, it is a lovely dining room with attentive staff. The set meal at £25 is excellent value, the amuse bouche was lovely, the choice of starters is very good and the mains were lovely - reasonable bottle of Malbec made it a fantastic meal. The only down side was my 'medium rare' steak was 'well done' in anyone's book, the cheese board did not come with the 'compote' and the waitress did not mention this, when i called her over she explained 'it is made up fresh and there is none left' she also told the next table this too - this left one thinking 'why am I not important enough to make it up for!?" and a 'rouge' drink was added to our bill - otherwise it would have been graded 'excellent'.

We booked ahead to be sure to get a table, but it was not busy on the Friday night we arrived in town. Offered a limited menu fixed price which everyone was happy with. We all ate something different and there were no complaints. Staff were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the wine.

We dined at the Riverside mid-week during a weeklong visit to Betws-y-Coed. We’d dined at the Grill on our first night and had spotted the Llugwy Restaurant on the other side of the hotel and decided to give it a try. We had three courses, all of which were pleasant, not exceptional, but certainly far from bad. The food was washed down with a nice bottle of wine and all for a very reasonable cost. The gentleman who served us was very personable and was very helpful in arranging a few options for my vegetarian fiancée. The only thing that let the experience down was the décor/ambiance. The restaurant seems to be the hotel’s “fine dining” option and it appears that whoever decorated it looked at a picture from some decades for inspiration ago before getting started. However, the interior aside we had a decent meal and left feeling contented.

We dined here on the Thursday night before Easter weekend. It was quiet throughout the village, this restaurant included.We were shown to our table very quickly, which was nicely decorated. The 4-course set menu is £25 per person, with a good selection of dishes. We received a small glass of pea and mint soup, which had a very fresh and intense flavour. The starters were good, very delicious.The main courses were two extremes. My partner had pork belly and scallops, which he said was the best meal he'd had for a long time. I had 'luxury fish and chips' consisting of salmon, scallops and haddock, battered, with triple cooked chips. Unfortunately, the food was room temperature and the chips were soggy. The presentation was good though.The desserts redeemed the meal, and ended our evening on a high. Sticky toffee pudding and chocolate, ameretto and pistachio tart with salted caramel ice cream.A total shame about my average main course, otherwise this would have been a 5-star review.

We were lucky enough to enjoy a 4 course meal here as part of a deal with the Royal Oak hotel.The food is simply outstanding, everything cooked to perfection!Pigeon breast was just pink, just how it should be, tender and tasty.Lamb main is superb.Service was great, we had a trainee waitress who worked hard to give us a great dining experience. This is the best place to eat in Betws-y-Coed, try it you won't be disappointed.

loved it all - quality food out of this world. best food in the area. cant wait to return. lamb dish was wonderful

Lovely hot food, plenty of it, and at a very affordable price.(my husband's prawn sandwich was "heaving" with prawns..)

I came for the welsh lamb and was not disappointed they always Deliver the quality And good service from the staff we are regular dinners ( we keep coming back)

We went here for lunch on a rainy Thursday in Betws-y-Coed. Chose from the set menu at £13.95 for 3 courses. Good quality food well presented. Local organic beef was delicious. We would go back again if we were in the area.

As a family, we visit the Royal Oak frequently. The Sunday lunch we had today is excellent value for money (3 course for just under £15) the food it cooked to a high standard using fresh ingredients and local produce. The food is really good, but the welcome we receive at the hotel is even better. Most staff are local and speak Welsh and have been working there for a while as we have been seeing the same friendly faces there for years. The Llugwy room is modern and decorated to a high standard. The Lounge is cosy during winter months with coal fires and comfy seating. Good with children, crayons and paper, good menu and baby changing, our son loves it as we have been visiting since he was 2 weeks old, so all the staff know him also, which is lovley! All in all we really enjoy visiting the Royal Oak and will be back again very soon. Thank you for making our eating out occassions so enjoyable for us as a family. Looking forward to see the Christmas menu!

This restaurant has a diverse menu that includes game, seafood, lamb and beef plus some veggie foods and tantalizing desserts. The wine list is also wide ranging. Service is good and it is competitive with free standing restaurants.

After a taxing walking up Snowdon we decided to eat here. What a good idea that was. The set menu offering 3 courses for £25 is excellent value.Some of the food on offer was not what I expected to find in a tiny village in north Wales. My starter for instance - ceviche of scallops with lime sabayon. I kid you not. It was very nice, and there was plenty of it.When it came to main courses it got even better. 2 of us opted for the rack of lamb. Cooked to perfection with a generous serving of veg. 2 others opted for the fillet steak Wellington. I think the lamb was a better decision.Dessert was a cheese board which could have been a bit better, given the quality of what had gone before it, but I still cleared my plate.Service was great, our waitress was really friendly and we never had to wait long between courses, despite the fact the restaurant was busy. It's well worth trying if you want to treat yourself and forget the sore knees and thighs!

Poor poor poor food,tasteless lack of presentation skills everything about it. chefs need to learn basic skills especially the use of salt+pepper,then taste before sending.

Loved the smoked salmon-delicious? The service was pleasant and the portions generous, particularly the children's. Would go back no problem.

As part of our Anniversary weekend jaunt I had booked a surprise meal for our selves and some friends to join us as another surprise.Llugwy had even put Anniversary balloons on the table,and the meal was fabulous.

The ambience, the menu choice and the food all suberb!Great to see that the chefs & management support local suppliers.All the staff were excellent friendly and efficient, some real characters

Lives up to its name on trip advisor forums, food and service 5 star.

There are a few excellent places to eat in Betws-y-Coed and this is another we have now added to our list of favourites. The Llugwy restaurant is at the top end of the budget scale. If you are looking for something less pricy then the Royal Oak has other good options we enjoy for eating out on a lower budget.We ate in the Llugwy on a bustling Saturday night in May. The food was excellent, the service supurb and the atmosphere was unlike anything we've experienced in Betws with a real buzz throughtout the entire hotel. The recently refurbished Llugwy restaurant is comfortable, stylish and makes for a truly enjoyable night out. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our night out and will certainly consider booking the Llugwy again for a special occasion treat.

Had an excellent meal at The Llugwy Riverside Restaurant, Royal Oak, Betws-y-coedI liked many items on the menu, therefore, making a choice was not an easy decision! The food was delicious, we started with an amuse-bouche of mushroom topped with basil oil. I would love the recipe – need I say more! As a starter I opted for the Welsh Belly Pork with Anglesey King Scallops, followed by Sea Bass as a main course and finished with Banana Panacotta with banana fritter, and toffee sauce. Very enjoyable. The staff were attentive, the newly decorated surroundings delightful, and the full restaurant relaxed to the sound of the resident Welsh harpist.All in all, a lovely way to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Thank you, diolch yn fawr.

Medium rare steak was well done, upon advisement there was no attempt to rectfy. The winelist was quite narrow. The waitresses comment: I don't drink red wine. Enough said really. In sure there are others nearby that offer better servie and better quality.
