Promenade Cafe& Wine Bar and Restaurant in Gwynedd

Lovely place to eat , rest and great views. Food cooked to order and was very nice, staff very nice , kind and funny , have a great sense of humour, love this little gem.

Very tired place and well past its prime. Called in on a Saturday lunchtime early in September after a stroll along the promenade. Only one person was serving (we believed the owner) and we waited some time before the food arrived. I ordered a chicken sandwich and my wife a baked potato. The chicken had been heated (?) and was dressed with a runny mayonnaise accompanied by two crisps. My wife stated her baked potato was the worst she'd ever had, the cheese was tasteless, the ham was dubious and was accompanied with unwashed (black specs visible, not pepper) salad leaves. I also had a scone with jam and cream. The scone was very small, tasted of baking powder, the jam was non-descript in plastic sachet and the cream was the aerosol variety. We noticed that the Google photos of the menu from two years ago are still current. The benches/tables outside needed sprucing up and the outside garden was unkempt. Finally, the single toilet had only one tap working, no toilet paper and no paper towels or hand dryer. Better to do less well than offer so much and do it badly. Won't return.

Warm atmosphere tasty cuisine and excellent service make this a standout spot

Nice place, owners so pleasant and friendly, we only had hot drinks, but my brother been there a few weeks before and said there breakfast was great.

Really friendly little resteraunt, nice food choices and reasonably priced. Beautiful views across the beach.

Very nice place, good food at an affordable price

Paid for the meals but left before they arrived, as the place is dreadful and the staff are very rude. Horrible service and a poky, rough place.

Great little restaurant. Great coffee and wine

Stopped for a cup of tea and a tea cake, to get out of the rain, owner was very jolly 😊

Lovely beach cafe top notch food too 100% will be coming back .dog friendly. Cold Guinness

Nice food, nice staff. Quirky and different.

A wonderfully lovely establishment in a beautiful location offering warm Turkish hospitality and great value for money. Highly recommend.

Great stop off whilst cycle touring lovely staff.

Great little place.The staff were friendly but a just real carecters, which we loved .We had to wait for sometime for the food ,which was cooked from fresh. Highly recommended, because the food was good .

Popped in for a brew. The chap serving was a real gentleman. Nothing was too much for him. Lovely place

Beautiful restaurant excellent service food excellent very clean staff and owner very polite can't do enough for you. Mrs Snape visited 9th May 24

Lovely cafe will definitely be back great welcome by the owner

Amazing restaurant :) great views and the food was lovely

The best cafe in Barmouth. It was amazing and definitely recommend this place, the owner prioritises the best experience for each customer and there’s plenty of space for large groups and it’s decently priced as well for being in a tourist location

Amazing food :) the atmosphere and restaurants was lovely with a great view and really close to the beach, the owner was attentive and made sure we where very well looked after

Very friendly service, the best in Barmouth. Very reasonably priced and the food is great. A gem of a place tucked out of the way along the promenade away from the busy town centre. Plenty of room for larger groups. Would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Barmouth.

Very friendly owner, great service, great location, great food. Not the nest quality products, but for the price, good value for money.

We had breakfast sandwich the gentleman who served me was super friendly and very helpful

Great food lovely people best service

Bracing walk down the prom to the cafe . Amazing breakfast for 8 people . Lovely host . Really funny guy . Relaxed atmosphere .

Great guys laugh a minute a Greek version of Fawlty towers

Food was well cooked and tasted good. Went for the fish and chips. The guy working behind the till was very friendly and personable, as a customer you are made to feel extremely welcome. Table service was great. It is nice to visit a family run business and to pump money into the local economy. Fantastic location. Great view of the beach/ sea/ sunset. Only complaint: The smoke alarm battery was running low and the alarm was beeping the whole time. This really ruins the atmosphere. I chose to eat inside because there were two dogs outside who were barking continuously, hence I was able to hear the smoke alarm. I want to make clear, the presence of barking dogs is not the fault of the restaurant - but rather the owners of dogs who tolerate such bad behaviour and ruin the atmosphere for everyone else. If you have a dog that barks, kindly go away and have your food delivered to where you are staying - or, learn how to moderate the behaviour of your dog.

Funny man, breakfast was very nice indeed. 👌

Wonderful place to eat a must visit small but lovely. Food is great and service was fabulous.

The Promenade Café and Wine Bar is as good as ever. If you want a good pizza and glass of wine this is the place. I recommend takeaway and sit on the sea wall watching the waves and the sunset.

Called in for some lunch with our doggies and sat outside. My partner made the order inside where he said it felt a little awkward and chaotic but friendly enough. Food arrived quickly and looked yummy although we both noted how neither of our meals had the peas and coleslaw as stated on the menu, this was confirmed as it was read back out to my partner when ordering. We tucked in and chose not to question as we didn't want to cause a fuss. Shortly after, our new rescue doggie became a little unsettled and began barking, as I'm sure you can imagine we were worried the barking would upset others enjoying the area and did our best to help him settle and followed the instructions given by our trainer..he settled with a few barks here and there. When he let out a few barks during our a meal , an employee took it upon themselves to walk over to our dog and ask what was going on (to one of our dogs, not us) which made our dog then bark at the stranger who approached him in a irate manor. The employee then continued to make it worse as he waved his hands around and said NO to our as our dog as he barked at him. Once the employee finally realised he was causing our dog to bark he stepped away, only to look at our dog from a distance. This further unsettled our new rescue dog who is trying to make new positive experiences in life and completely went against the training we have been doing. I only question why an employee would find it appropriate to abruptly walk over to someone's unsettled dog when they are clearly giving instructions to them. Additionally to go close to their dog and give their own different instructions during their meal and to not speak to the humans at all. We quickly ate the remainder of our meal, when the employee approached again to collect our plates (while we still had our mouths full) and created small talk and apologised for not asking how our day was, not for the incident with our dogs. Our dogs sat quietly, and then scuttled away with what felt like eyes burning in the back of us.

Brilliant. A great reception from the staff, the manager is a funny guy. Food is spot on and a welcome change to standard styles (I believe owners are Turkish). Small amount of free parking and they let us stay whilst at the beach. Clean. Well cooked food. Definitely will come again and recommend.

Absolutely solid cafe food, open early and late. The owner is definitely quirky, but super friendly. Well priced and varied menu.

Used the cafe to have a pizza upon recommendation of the adjacent campsite. It was quite late so no real expectations and we sat outside with our bikes. Turkish owner and assistant very friendly and definitely characters that made the visit interesting. I wouldn’t make it an evening meal venue but take it for what it is. Job done and I will forgive the slightly burn pizza base!!!!

Well worth a stop, great staff.

Called here after walking our 2 dogs. This is a dog friendly place where the dogs were even treated very well by the staff. Food is good value. We were so happy with the food and service that we called back another 2 times over our weeks holiday.

Got an all day breakfast at 8 one evening, magic, loved it. Great service from a right character 🤣. Reasonable price of £8.45 including a Pepsi.

We stopped here on the off chance as never really been so far down the beach. We are so glad we did. Great friendly cafe. The owners were so kind and nothing was too much bother. Food was great value. Drinks well priced and the atmosphere even on a dreary day they brightened our mood. Thank you. We will definitely be back again when we are next in Barmouth. Best meze I have had in the UK. A hidden gem

Pleasant and friendly service . Food was ok considering the prices are inexpensive . Had the big breakfast but would recommend better sausages having said that no complaints just feedback .

Couldn't find a friendly place. Always treated like old friends even on our first visit. Food and drink fabulous. Thank you x

Quite possibly the best family run cafe/business I have ever come across. First class service and fantastic food. If your looking to feed the family whilst having a day at the beach, and looking for great family food then this is the place for you. We had the Promanade Pizza which was spot on...

Fantastic place to stop. Lovely coffee and food. Owner and family always welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere to stop in Barmouth. This is the place.

Good food cooked to order, lovely family run place cannot do enough for you. 5mins from Hendre Mynach Caravan camping site right next to the beach

Had fish and chips,worst fish I've ever had,frozen out of a packet

Wow this place is always so welcoming and friendly, the food is lovely and it's such a beautiful place! The family that runs it are amazing, make you feel like part of their family too ❤️

Only popped in for a cuppa but the gentleman so entertaining we stopped for food.. So glad we did it was very nice..

Excellent value for money, good wholesome food and the host and his family are very friendly and welcoming.

This place is really worth a visit. Food excellent and very reasonably priced. Good menu choise. Family run. The owner is such a great character. Do not miss a visit if you are in the area l.

Query place, friendly staff, decent cafe food. Good spot a little out of the town, ideal for the beach. It could be made more of as there is definitely a Mediterranean feel.

Nice relaxed place a bit out of the way. Typical holiday cafe type. For burger and chips I cant complain, decent price too. Chap serving was nice and friendly too.

Great little gem of a cafe very friendly owners great atmosphere and lovely food just a stone’s throw from the beach

Never been before as our normal haunt was full.. Brilliant find at the end of the promenade! Friendly staff! Service with a smile :) food was excellent and fresh and the coffee was lovely! Thank you so much.. we will definitely be back!!! Really enjoyed our table in the Sun today!

Friendly welcome. Basic but good menu all freshly cooked and delivered with chat and a smile. Lovely view from the cafe. Great value compared to a lot of places in Barmouth. Definitely worth the walk down to the end of the prom.

You need speaking with the guy inside. .. You will positivity for human kindness and truthfulness. Worth being there

£3.50 for a can of carling says it all. Owners was rude. So much potential however owner would rather defend his prices by saying go down town.

Out of the town at the north end of the promenade this place doesn’t look much and you’d be forgiven for passing it by. Enter however and you’ll be given a very warm welcome by the Turkish owner. Try the mezze, it’s great.

Went with the kids and ordered 4 milkshakes. The kids barely touched theirs, seemed like the milkshake was mainly just milk. Strawberry milkshake that was white! Owner claims made with real ice cream, no chance. Very poor.

How wrong can a bacon sandwich get? Way overpriced for cheap bleached bread, baking margarine when we were asked it we wanted butter, and see through bacon. Inedible. On the upside the pot of tea was lovely.

Popped in here to ask if they did anything to eat that was gluten free. The person behind the counter just laughed and said no. Almost every cafe can offer something. I’m coeliac you see. Looked at the ice creams in the freezer for a gluten free one. Noticed the labelling said ‘not to be sold individually’ Part of a multi pack obviously. I would never go back there again.

Very friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.

Visited recently and had some dinner. Food and staff were nice. Would visit again.

Been going to Barmouth for years but not been that far up the promenade. Well worth it.

We called in here for shelter from the storm,glad we did the proprietor Cengiz was efficient. attentive and delightful company.Highly recommended and can't wait to return.

Very quickly cafe experience with great value for money and very friendly/helpful owner. A typical family run holiday cafe with excellent food.

Delighted to find this lovely Turkish family still serving up good food at good prices. Pizza, fish and chips and so much more.

We had the omelette very well cooked and tasty, decent portion sizes. Good quick service, pleasant owners. Lots of seating has its own parking. Good value.

This establishment made our holiday as we didn't need to head into town seeing as this place is at the other end of the promenade so no need for the long walk on lazy nights into town. First impressions of this place from outside are questionable it would seem you are about to enter a blue painted hut but on entering you are met by the guy who owns the place and your experience begins. Perhaps its because I have the same sense of humour but this guy makes you feel completely at ease joking with you as soon as you enter, running himself down as well as his wife in jest. At one point he came over to my table and tried to turn my plate round for me as he thought (and was quite right) it would make it easier for me to eat my chicken lol. It is as if you have known this small Turkish guy all your life. The food is very reasonably priced and plentiful and I believe there is a fine wine list although I do not drink it myself. The tables are set out nicely with a television up on the wall as well should you wish to watch. The windows provide entertainment as at high tide you can see the waves crahing and rising into the air. When paying for your meal always expect to be charged £100 yes it was always £100 with this owner obviously in jest. A great experience, just loved it there and would have eaten there every night if not wanting to try out other places within the town. If you loved Fawlty Towers you will love this place without the mistakes of course.

We ate here twice during our visit to Barmouth. The owners are a lovely couple and their service was very good, very personal and they made us feel welcome. Food was very nice, lot's of choice, cooked freshly to order. We will return here in the future for sure.

Good value meals. Efficient and polite.

Such a lovely cafe first thing in the morning to grab a brew and a sausage butty and then go sit on the wall and watch the waves. Also ask them for the evening menu of you are #Vanlife or on the campsite behind.

A very unassuming little place but was met by a very friendly gentleman, obviously the owner. . We had a couple of glasses of wine and ordered some things off the menu to go with what we had planned to cook in our motorhome. I...

Brilliant food service was great owner was very funny and entertaining definitely will be going back when in Barmouth again

The place is great! decent priced and to note the bloke that is there can have a bit of hard hearing, but please just be understanding if he does raise his voice a bit, just relax, he doesnt mean to sound like he is shouting. but all above, it's worth a try, also to add that if you have a dog, please respect and only have the dog outside due to issues, there is fresh water in a bowl outside.

We have drank and eaten here many times when on the beach and there is always a lovely warm welcome. Food is fine and value and prices for a seaside cafe is exceptional. If you are looking for a lovely cup of tea, a beer...

Absolutely fantastic here the service is so good very friendly and food is good and prices are good

Run by a Turkish family this little café has good seating indoors and outdoors. There's a toilet inside which is very handy as there are no public toilets nearby. But please note it is for customer use only. We had the authentic Turkish coffee there and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I ordered the meze platter (thinking it was run by Turkish people, I was excited), but was disappointed. A blob of sloppy houmous, a blob of sloppy tzatziki, 3 olive rolls and a pitta bread ….. £12.95 😱 It’s a pity because it’s such a...

The old adage”You only get what you paid for !”certainly suits this run down bistro. Food was adequate, chicken seemed as it had been microwaved as skin was soft and rubbery. Tables and floors needed a good clean. This was all realised after ordering and...

An interesting place, an amazing come back story after a massive storm and obviously much loved part of the community. The latter is evident the staff our lovely and the food is amazing. Definitely a place to support.

Avoid !!! Owner came out to berate us that we had asked where our food was after waiting for it for 2 hours. £14.95 steaks where absolutely killed and totally unfit to eat. After requesting a round of drinks he made us pay before bringing the drinks out. The owner needs to get real. Don't insult your paying customers. Saying that he put out the Pride flag for us, is just bad taste. But I guess he did a good job of that. All previous reviews from people might be have had good meals, but this was probably the worst I have experienced. So much that I have to write this review. Owner needs to take a serious look at himself.

We had read the reviews from others so decided to call in and have a cup/pot of tea. The tea was delivered to the table with style, and was perfect. Once finished we left but decided to come back later for our evening meal. The...

Run by a Turkish couple who always seem to be rushed off their feet and operate an amusing “Basil Fawlty” type operation. They provide very good pizzas. Drinks, ice creams and other food also provided. You can eat in or take away and is very...

We were a party of 8 people. Two of us ordered the Meze sharer, for myself as a main (£13 each, same price as sirloin steak). Arrived with blob of hummus , a blob of tszakik, salad with 3 stuffed vines and a pitta bread! Was very disappointed. I don’t like to leave a bad review unless I have tried to address this with owner, which I did. Unfortunately he did not take my opinion on board and made excuses. I feel like I have been ripped off and will not be returning.

Love this place for its great food, speedy service and cheerful atmosphere. We had lunch consisting of Mediterranean salad and steak & kidney pie, chips, peas and gravy - two very clean plates and happy customers thank you. The restaurant is clean and bright and...

Clean and friendly place. Food was good. Inside and outside seating. Small carpark. Well worth a visit.

I have been coming here for years love the food the dated decor and the owners an excellent host with a fantastic sense of humour. the food is a Lot more reasonably priced and very nice , I've had most things from the menu and...

Fantastic service and great food. Will go there again.

We've just spent a week staying near the Cafe and ate here every night. The food was so good with a menu to suit everyone . The owners were so lovely and friendly, despite being very busy during the times we ate there. We've stayed...

This is a great value cafe, with lovely food and extremely friendly service. I would recommend a visit.

Terrible service and food. And the owner is a rude ham. I do not recommend.

Amazing, quirky and exciting spot on the beach with a fabulous Turkish host who never failed to impress. Didn’t stop laughing and really enjoyed my experience. Will definitely be back

Fantastic little place , will definitely go back . Lovely owner. Breakfast/dinner/ or tea nothing is to much trouble .

We came here on the 1st night of our holiday We stopped outside because we had dogs with us There was plenty of choice on the menu and food was nice and the prices very reasonable

Excellent food and service, great value for money.

Stopped off for an all day breakfast. Very nice. Owner is a lovely guy. Very nice and worth the walk from Barmouth

After traveling to Barmouth myself and my son went for a walk across the promenade where we found this little family run restaurant. Service was fantastic, food amazing. We will definitely be going back.

Great location, but breakfast over cooked

Only had a drink nice but can be busy at height of the season

Interesting place. Seemed to be owner run, and they were really nice. Didn't eat here, but wish we had done - the food looked good, and prices were attractive. If I am in the area again I will be returning....

If you want overpriced fancy food go to town !! if you want good well cooked food at very reasonable prices go here I had steak, and wife had pie and both were absolutely lovely It's not the best looking place outside but inside is a different story it's clean warm and extremely friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to go again so don't judge the " cafe look about it just give it go I promise you won't be disappointed !!!
