Teras in Gwynedd

Best coffee in the city. First class service, delivered to your table. Quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Always.

I went with my long distance girlfriend who i just met and we came here and had the best time, the food was great, good price and the environment was veru hospitable and wonderful

Very tasty food. Excellent service.

Really lovely atmosphere. Nice and relaxed, decor makes you feel like you're in an upscale £200 a starter restaurant. Staff are very sweet and polite, happy to check for things and accommodate where possible. Food. Well. Divine doesn't cut it. BEST burger I have had in a very long time, first beef burger I've been able to stomach in even longer! The risotto was amazing! Cooked to perfection but not gloopy or runny. A real go to for good quality food that doesn't break the bank

You need to preorder your lunch by giving 72 hours notice as they do not carry the full a la carte menu. Email teras in advance for the menu. Starter and main meal was very tasty. Bangor is not blessed with many nice restaurants like this one. There were nice wines also.

Was there for a meeting. The coffee was just what I needed. The staff behind the counter were wonderful. Even loaned me a pair of scissors!

I was at the Uni for a meeting and we popped in for a light lunch. I had an omelette with potato cheese and chorizo served with a side salad and chips. Service was great, food well presented. Main arts building is a great location with fantastic views over Bangor. Recommended.

Καθόλου Πρόσβαση για άτομα με ειδικες ανάγκεε δεν θα το σύστηνα σε άτομα με ειδικές ανάγκες. Ωραίο Περιβάλλον

Such a relaxing atmosphere to have food and great coffee! Really beautiful views and lovely staff. Shout out to Olivia who made the best oat latte I’ve ever had

A very wonderful 0lace to eat in Bangor.

Great company, great food, very efficient and speedy service. Many thanks!

Great afternoon tea, vegan gf option, highly recommended

This was closed for meals. But information on Google made it sound like it was open. Quite a trek for a coffee.

Hey, you know what? It ain't half bad.

Quiet very clean attention very good food also good and very reasonable...

Classier a la carte resteraunt for bangor. But prucey but you do get class food. I ordered a xmas dinner and a scallop starter with a bottle of coke £21. Serice as pleasent with friendly attentive professional staff. Starter was divine, with a range of flavours. Main. Presentation was good, too much salt used with the turkey and the veg was basically uncooked it was that hard. However i would go again and suggest it.

Wonderful place for a good meal, pleasant relaxing atmosphere and very nice staff.

Relaxed atmosphere, tasty food and great views.

Never been here but looks boss 5/5

Teras Lounge is my favourite place for lunch in Bangor and I visit often. It’s situated in the historic Main Arts building of Bangor University. Stylish and comfortable surroundings, great choice of tasty food (light bites are my faves) and when the weather is good it’s nice to sit out on the terrace.

Really nice atmosphere and reasonably priced for great quality food.

We attended a small function with set menu. The drinks at the bar were very expensive - over £12 for two glasses of wine, and over £3 each one for soft drinks! The meat eaters got a good big piece of meat with their main course, but the vegetarians were short-changed with only a starter-sized portion of risotto as a main course and it didn't even have much taste. Starter and dessert nicely presented. Bar staff had a poor attitude and gave the impression they couldn't be bothered and looked down on the customers. Very long wait between courses and very behind schedule to get started. We wouldn't choose to go to Teras for a meal ourselves after this experience.

Very good service and good coffee for a fair price

Afternoon tea. Affordable, tasty and well presented. Would recommend buying a brownie to take away for later too!

The triple cooked chips are just oven chips.

Teras produces nice food, no-one can argue with that. There’s also a great selection ‘light bites’ in case you aren’t in the mood for something too heavy. On the occasion we had lunch, it was busy and the acoustics made it difficult to hear - it felt more like a canteen. Good for a quite coffee in the morning though!

Great views and great food. Very fast service.

Lovely food and staff food good price too

Like the food and the service but its little expensive.

Lovely food in a great setting. Good service, reasonable prices

Lovely staff, great coffee, interesting tea selection & a good menu with choices that are difficult to choose from. Lovely room with great views. Feel comfortable here to pop in on my own to read or use WiFi.

Came here for a leaving do for someone at work. Had a decent vegetable risotto and was pleased to see the menu offers vegan carrot cake, but would definitely need more vegan choices to come here again by choice

- Very good to pop into whilst at university.- Convenient as next to my lectures and do takeaway coffee.- Visited several times to have lunch and dinner, but mostly for their brownies, they are outstanding.- Very kind staff, lovely calm and quiet atmosphere.

On Thursday and Friday it is now possible to have your breakfast, dinner and tea at Teras. We visited last Thursday for an evening meal and both of us had the delicious smoked haddock fish cakes for a starter along with the pea and mint tortellini and the Teras squash and chickpea burger. The food is always delicious and generous so really we shouldn't have opted for desserts, but couldn't resist, the Trio of Chocolate and Apricot and Orange Pudding beckoned. The service is always spot on. I've always found the staff to be knowledgeable, courteous and helpful, they really are an asset. I would just check the closing times beforehand because the restaurant isn't open late.

Visited here for a meal after graduation with family and friends and cannot fault it. The starters, mains and desserts were all perfect with there being an excellent variety of dishes for vegans and people with food allergies. My sister suffers from gluten and dairy allergies and for the first time in a while she could eat all 3 courses and actually have a choice of dishes. We will definitely be coming back, just a bit gutted we didn't discover Teras sooner!

Just had lunch our first time will be going again deliciouse very good service 👍👍

Was taken here for lunch as visiting the uni to do some external work. Lovely atmosphere and great food had the veggie risotto and it was delicious. Risotto isn't always good out but this was perfect.

I have eaten there many time and the food has always be exceptionally good, add to that the lovely selection of teas and coffees and you have a great place with a calm quiet atmosphere to enjoy the meal whilst looking out over Bangor from the best spot in the Main Arts building. Only draw back to the experience is the opening hours. They close at 6pm, far too early when you would want to enjoy the place for dinner. Really a shame!

Whilst the restaurant is situated in Bangor University main building it is open to the public and I'm so glad we decided to have my birthday tea there. For just £8.95 per person, afternoon tea is served in a comfortable collegiate setting and consists of fresh coffee or a pot of tea, a choice of sandwiches, scone with clotted cream and home made jam, salted caramel macaroons, bara brith, a salmon and spinach tartlet and cheese and leek muffin. It was all home made and delicious. The service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing and classy at the same time. What a find! I will definitely be returning and can highly recommend.

I have visited Teras previous for coffee, but this time it was chosen for an annual dinner. The good impression was confirmed. The service was punctual and courteous and the food was excellent. The décor is very nice and all together it was a very pleasant evening and members of our group left at the end of the evening sell fed and happy! Thank you Teras.

Lovely place to eat when you want a quiet and quality dining experience. Make sure you order the brownies for dessert, oh don't forget a Hazelnut & Praline latte

Had a very nice espresso here. Very cosy place with some great views out the window. Located at the university so a bit of a walk up the hill and it can be a bit confusing to get to. Recommend it of you're in Bangor.

He estado aquí varias veces y nunca decepciona. Esta vez fue para un fiesta de Navidad en la noche, y fue realmente impresionante! La comida estaba bien presentada y deliciosa y fue bien recibido por todos. El personal era atento y un ambiente encantador. Muchas...

Went for first visit today at lunchtime. Customer service was excellent. Delicious menu - food was excellent - taste, presentation etc. Lovely atmosphere - wish we had found this place before. Will definitely be going back. Thought it was great value for money. Beautiful setting too.

Bad customer service, I asked a question about the ingredients on the menu, due to allergies, the waiter has snorted, pushing me to change of choice. Not happy with this, the presentation of the dish has been horrible, compared to other diners with the same choice.

I went here with my Wife after a long day at the University. It was quiet during reading week. I ordered a smoked salmon omelet and my wife asked for the signature burger and both came with wedges, sweet potato chips and salad. The omelet was excellent, hot and tasty, the sweet potato chips were a delight also. My wife cleared her plate, we took our time, the service was efficient and polite but not rushed. I asked for a treat I haven't seen anywhere else. It's sweet and a little indulgent but the Creme Brulle Latte Coffee is to die for. It's a classic building and the restaurant is a little posh for most students; it's a good place to bring your parents.

Teras offers great food from tasty lunches to finer dining at vey reasonable prices. THere are lovely views through the old leaded windows and the restaurant is decorated in a light and comfortable style.

Ate here with daughter at recent Bangor University Open Day. Excellent food, very good service, calm atmosphere. Slightly more expensive than average prices locally, but worth it. Well priced lunch light bites.

When we eventually found the right building we were lucky enough to find a parking space nearby. We enjoyed walking through the cloisters to the restaurant - it made us think of Hogwarts! The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and on a warm day pleasantly cool inside. We chose from the Lighter Bite selection and all enjoyed our choices. The crab salad was particularly good. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bangor, as we want to try the afternoon tea which at £7.95 each looks great value.

They are really making an effort here to present food attractively with fresh ingredients which also tastes really good. Simple menu (which is the trend in good restaurants) and a good selection of well priced wines. (A very good local beer as well). The setting is the old common room in the (grand) University building overlooking the town. There is a terrace which must be really nice place to eat on hot summer evenings. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All an excellent place to eat if you are in Bangor in a relaxed and attractive setting.A word of caution. If you are not local (we were not) it is hard to find and parking close by is very limited. There are four/five car places next to building otherwise it is a taxi or hike up the hill.

Tucked away in main University building, this is a small, well-designed restaurant with a tight menu and professional staff

I have been here a few times, mainly for coffee and tea but did order food once.It's a really nice place, sometimes have been and it was closed which is a pity. You wouldn't know it was there unless you were a university student or visited because of word-of-mouth.

Teras is a really nice cosey restaurant/cafe. I haven't eaten there, so can't comment on the food. They have a great tea selection and the atmosphere is really peaceful. Thumbs up!

Teras is a university restaurant within the Main Arts building in Upper Bangor. It is an excellent venue - stylish and comfortable - delivering very high quality food consistently. They change the menu regularly and offer light bites as well as a la carte. Excellent range of foods and tastes from burger, to halloumi, to seafood...

The Teras Restaurant in the Arts Building at the University of Bangor provided the perfect setting for our lunch today. Excellent surroundings, first class food and attentive staff made the experience a delight.

I have been going to Teras for about one year +, as I am a a student at Bangor University and this cafe is inside of the main building. Great place, lovely coffee, very good food, young and friendly staff. A bit pricey, however.

Situated in Bangor University this restaurant is a hidden gem. I went for afternoon tea with my grandson who is an undergraduate at Bangor, the sandwiches were fresh and tasty, the scone and cream was okay but not clotted cream and the chocolate brownie was very tasty. Overall a modest sized but good quality afternoon tea, not too much so that it affects your appetite for dinner. The teas were absolutely fabulous, good choice, excellent quality and a little theatre with the egg timers provided to ensure they brew for the right time. Prices very reasonable for the settI got and quality. Staff young, friendly and helpful, setting calm and relaxed. We use Teras whenever we visit and will continue to do so.

We arrived at 1pm and after 10 minutes of waiting we had to prompt someone to bring us a menu (most restaurants tend to address new customers within at least the first 5 minutes, there were two girls behind the bar doing very little and they still didn't take the initiative!)The young man who took our order of 2 burgers and 2 scones (not too much to remember), never brought the scones after our burgers, we waited a good half an hour after our meals before just deciding to just pay up.We mentioned at the till that they had been forgotten and he just said “my bad”, hardly an appropriate response. A simple sorry would have been decent enough, just common manners!As a restaurant that is clearly trying to position itself as a cut-above just a canteen lunch then they really need to address their levels of service, the food is great but the experience was a let-down because of the staff.

First visit, for my birthday. Great atmosphere, lovely interiors, above all stunning food and reasonably priced with friendly staff!! One to visit... Only one negative...no parking and as the main uni building id suggest allowing time to walk from the nearest spot you can get!

So pleased we came here for dinner one evening. Food and service were both incredible - especially for the very very fair prices. £20-25 a head for 3 course meal with drinks and coffees. Would highly highly recommend. Came back for lunch the next day!

Beautiful modern restaurant, with great food and service. He staff were very happy to help. We sat near one of the windows and the view down to the menai, past the rolling hills was just so breathtaking , it made everything else even better !!

The food was wonderful, the setting was great (we were there just before nightfall, we had a window seat and the view was lovely). The staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful.

We had a little trouble finding the restaurant but it was worth it . We were in the university main building which is beautiful . The restaurant overlooks Bangor. We had a very reasonably priced fixed menu. staff were helpful and friendly and the food was delicious.

A fantastic attention to detail at this restaurant. The food is superb, the drinks are well made and the staff make you feel welcome in a beautiful environment.

Very friendly staff (I even got a soy milk porridge), beautiful location and atmosphere, great view, and good prices.

Great food at a great price, with very friendly staff. The restaurant itself is very pleasant, it is quite modern and bright. I would recommend booking, the 2 times that we went for lunch it was quite busy.

Seven of us walked straight in without booking on a graduation day!? Perhaps its because it is hidden around the back of the building and did not appear to be signposted. Teras is within the lovely Victorian main arts building that also contains the graduation hall. It has an Art Deco ambiance and rightly deserves its "hidden gem" tag. From the moment we entered the service was 1st class, and as for the food, well it was in danger of over shadowing the occasion! We all ate different items off the special Graduation Menu and each of us were blown away by the quality, taste and cobination. I have eaten at some high end restaurants and I can honestly say this is on par with most and better than some.

It was my pleasure to witness the graduation of my granddaughter at the university & to complete the experience with a meal for all of the family.The choice was first class, the service almost perfection, the quality of the food beyond criticism, indeed i complimented the Chef on the main course of sea bass which my wife and I selected.The main undergraduates waiting on were most attentative, but one oversight retracted from the whole experience.No fish knives & forks! A matter of some mystery with the staff member from whom i enquired.A small point but an important one i felt.

We visited the University on the open day and were very dissapointed with the catering until someone mentioned this little gem, we were seated immediately right underneath three Kyffig Williams paintings, the restaurant is on a terrace as the name suggests, overlooking the beautiful town. we were talked through the menu by a knowledgeable waitress, we chose confidently. The teas arrived in all their splendour with timers to measure brewing !! novel but fun.. The food arrived soon after and was a real treat, I had an omlette accompanied by sweet potato chips and a salad, it was delicious. my friend ate an all day breakfast at three o'clock, again this was quite a different take on your full welsh, I saw carrot on the plate, but it suited the dish. We paid £16 for our lunches, I would have been happy to pay that just to sit on the terrace in front of the paintings of such a great artist. Bangor University has a little secret, don't hesitate to investigate, you will not be dissaponted.

I had seen this place had great reviews & I knew it was in an amazing building but I was still very impressed with the customer service & food. I had booked a table for 7 pm but got delayed till 7:45, I called to let them know & the receptionist was very understanding & said it would be no problem. When we got there the place was empty as it was closing at 8 but they stayed open just for us which was brilliant as we had the place to ourselves. The food & surroundings where excellent. The staff superb. I would Going for a pint to the Blossoms tonight with my bro & uncle if you fancy a pint pal?highly recommend Teras & will definitely be going again.

Visited here today with my husband for lunch before heading over to Penrhyn Castle. Beautiful building, parking was an issue and finding the restaurant was difficult. Poorly signed. Arrived and we were unsure whether to help ourselves to a table or wait....we decided to grab a table and waited, waited and eventually we were acknowledged and our food/drink order was taken. I ordered the Roasted Red Pepper and Goats Cheese Risotto and my husband ordered the Free Range Egg Omelette. I was really looking forward to my lunch, I'm going through a phase of loving Risotto atm! My Risotto arrived and at first I thought the waiter had brought over the wrong order....but no here it was a soppy like rice pudding which lacked severely of seasoning! It was swimming in bland cream and after a few mouth fulls I had to stop. It was not nice at all! I was very disappointed, I had read so many great reviews of this place too. My husband had the egg omelette and like he said it is what it is except again lacking in seasoning. We left a lot sooner than we anticipated and went over to the bar area to pay for our meal. Luckily the lady didn't ask how our meals was because I was ready to give my feedback tbh but my husband was begging me not too!! At £16 odd, all was not lost but I don't think I'd hurry back. If I did I'd most definitely pick something else. Shame :-(

Love the food here. Been multiple times and still the Burger is my favourite thing. All the food is fresh, reasonable and delicious. Its a struggle I have found to spend more than £20 for 2 people with drinks... Highly recommend :)

Went to entertain around 25 visitors from overseas. The food was really very good - gravadlax, duck and then a strawberry desert. It was very tasty and difficult to fault. I'd happily go again

Teras is a lovely little restaurant inside the Old Main Building on the Bangor University campus. It has a beautiful terrace overlooking Bangor and the Menai Straight. The menu does not change terribly often, but the food is consistently good. They also make a lovely production out of tea.

As frequent visitors to Bangor we were grateful to find this gastronomic gem on our doorstep in College Rd. My wife had Duck Confit excellently cooked and beautifully presented, my Lamb was a delight.A pity they are only open for thursday and friday evening dining, however the lunches are every bit as good.

Great location overlooking the town, friendly staff and excellent food with an imaginative menu - what more could you want.

If you're looking to impress your parents this is a must. The setting of the restaurant is very beautiful with a stunning view over Bangor. The restaurant itself has a great layout and is ideal for both dinning with the family or stopping for coffee with friends.The locally sourced food boasts flavour and is prepared in elegant and creative ways. Even down to the way the tea is served. Very enjoyable! The staff were brilliant and very welcoming. Our waitress in particular (blonde welsh) was very charming and took time to go through the menu with us and made excellent recommendations. Make sure to try the moorish menai straits' mussels!

While quite fancy, Teras remains very affordable. The staff is very nice. I recommend ordering the "Famous Bangor Brownie" with a Tea: great for sharing in a small group and talk about about an intellectual topic; it is located in a university after all.

Bangor's best kept secret. Never thought of dining out in Uni main arts but this is a nice restaurant with lovely staff and excellent food! Had delicious Lamb shank off Valentine day menu and it was first class and good value. We will come again.The nicest restaurant in BangorDa iawn

Not only was it one of the most delicious meals I'd had in ages, the staff were lovely too! :D I sort of had the restaurant to myself which was nice, so I could relax and enjoy the laid back music.Food was cooked perfectly, and the menu options offered quite a lot of choice. Definitely recommend the salmon fillet followed by the Dark chocolate/Cherry tart! It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, I just wish I could afford it more often!Thanks guys!

Recently visited for lunch with a friend - nice food reasonably priced, pleasant surroundings, prompt & friendly service.

booked lunch for 6 table location great; nice wine list enjoyed the pino grigio and the aussie red; service prompt & attentive; starters great incl risotto; maybe the mains lacked inventiveness not quantity atmosphere great lively but not noisy

Came with a friend for a light lunch, we had soft drinks, soup and pudding (of course!)Food was hot, fresh and tasty, service was impeccable.No complaints!

We have recently taken several groups of guests to Teras for lunch. If you work at the University or find yourself in Upper Bangor, this is a very convenient and presentable location to grab a panad, coffee, snack or a meal. Service is good and so is the quality of fare. An area of improvement would be vegetarian options, which are usually higher in carbs and lower in protein than other choices.

Had a wonderful lunch at this upscale restaurant at the U. Wished to go back for dinner, but not open all evenings. Had a wonderful open faced sandwich, loved it. All enjoyed their meals and atmosphere. Wonderful dessert menu too.

The best place to go in Bangor for coffee! The food is great - I have never been disappointed. The jazz nights are well worth going to, but they book up quickly!

The omelette for lunch is one of the best kept secret value for money bargains in Bangor, served in the lovely surroundings of the Teras... unbeatable!

We have had lunch, afternoon tea and evening meals here and have been delighted with all. The staff are pleasant and helpful and the food is excellent. It's not the easiest place to find, but persevere as you won't be disappointed. We have found it easiest to park in the multi storey car park next to Aldi and walk across the road and up the steps in the university grounds to the top, through the first gate and into the university. Just be aware there is no sign for Teras at that entrance, but continue down the corridor a short way and you will find it. The meals are excellent, beautifully presented and very well priced. A hidden gem that more people should know about.

I won a raffle prize for a meal for 2 at 'Teras' having never been there before I wasn't sure what to expect.The food was amazing; it is really lovely to go out for food and be able to enjoy all the flavours. The food was presented well and tasted fabulous. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable too. Very reasonably priced. Lovely location with views over Bangor.I would definitely recommend Teras Lounge.

If you want a pleasant, relaxing coffe or a sensational meal then this restaurant a place to seek and discover! Burried under in the basement of the historic university buildings of the Top College Mains Arts buildings, the Teras is not easy to find, but there are signs from the main reception, and there is often parking close to the lower entrance from the hairpin bend on Glanrafon Hill.Don't be put off by the institutional green tiled corridor, the restaurant is beautifully presented, and the service is as good as any top class London Hotel. But the prices are very reasonable, this is a not-for-profit service aimed at the University staff, but it is in fact open to the public.The morning coffee is wonderful. All the food is home made. People love the cakes, but I have to say that the less popular tarts are out of this world in terms of texture and flavour. I understand that the same level of service and menu is also available at Reichel College, but this is some distance from Bangor city centre.Other excellent places to eat in Bangor are Taverna Greek and Blue Sky cafe.

Ate at the Teras as part of an organised Christmas event. The food was beautifully plated and each course was served with great attention to detail. I'll be honest, I usually go for the meals where the emphasis is on quantity and flavour and this was a departure for me. I left the restaurant without that 'over full' feeling having thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the evening. Parking may be an issue for some people and this may need clearer arrangement with the restaurant.

Visiting with my wife and 2 business clients on a Friday lunchtime .Superb food , had 3 courses washed down with some very nice Welsh bottled beer.I can't believe that this was within a University as it would have fitted in very well in any high st .Well done

We were visiting Bangor university for 2 nights and this was ideal for dinner (not that there was much choice at all). We had a pleasant meal but it was rather too quiet but the staff were very friendly and the food good.

The food was good but we went late to breakfast so they were out of most things. It will teach to arrive early so we can have a selection of items to choose from. Staff was very sweet and did a nice job . Go early

Met a friend for lunch at Teras and was pleasantly surprised.Great food, exceptional value for money!,Staff friendly and attentive...nothing too much trouble.Have recommended Teras to my friends and colleagues; look forward to returning soon.

Visited a couple of times - food can't get better. Wonderful service and friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!

Such a find! So refreshing to find a decent restaurant in Bangor. For a small menu there is something for everyone! My particular favourite is the Pea and Haddock Rissoto. The staff are very attentive and are trained to make amazing coffees, the new Creme Brule Latte is a must try! Although don't try if you don't like sweet things because it is exceedingly sweet. Excellent Value, as I think the University subsidises it or doesn't make profit. I have since seen that outdoor seating is now available which overlooks the whole of bangor. Only downside is that it isn't open evenings due to lack of interest.

We had a party in the Teras lounge, both the service from the staff and the food were absolutely fantastic. If you are thinking of going for a meal or organizing an event this is the place for you!!! Truly fantastic, a hidden gem!

superb afternoon tea and very good lunch menu. tad pricy but very comfortable and calm environment. have to book its often very busy. try their burger, it's pretty good

Lovely place with a limited menu but enough choice to satisfy. No parking, nothing for disabled. Food nice and fresh.
