Popped in here just before they were shutting down the ovens - they were very happy to have a last table of (late) hungry dinners! Food was LOVELY!!! We had 2 x HOMEMADE Mac & Cheese (with salad/veg + chips!) and 1 x scampi & chips / peas - it’s great food here! All of it was piping-hot. Staff were very friendly and chatty, and very efficient!!! Hey it’s not the Ritz to look at, but if you want excellent home-cooked food, with nice service, this IS the place to go in ‘Llandod’. THANKS again and see you the next time we’re in Wales on Holiday 👍🙏😊

The server was incredibly friendly and kind to our 1 year old. Food was really good too - happy to see some outside-the-usual meals on their menu!

Should have done this last summer. A lovely warm atmosphere, genuinely friendly service. Traditional menu, very well prepared. Obviously very popular with local people which is always a good sign. We are in the area again this summer and will be making a return visit for sure.

My hubby and I were roaming through Wales and stumbled upon this little cafe-restaurant. Very friendly staff, quick service and delicious homemade food. I had a beef roast and it was one of the best roasts I had in life. My hubby had a chilli with jacked potato and he enjoyed his meal too (he is a fussy eater). Coffee also was very nice and milky. Just the way I like it. All good and coffee are reasonably priced and we really enjoyed the meal. I will recommend it to anyone who travels in this direction to visit this little gem

Have travelled N & S Wales and it’s so hard to find good, proper food without chips. And then….Bingo! We had 2 roast chicken dinners on a Wednesday (!) for £7.95 each at this absolutely brilliant find. Real food, piping hot, friendly very very reasonable prices.

Two lost tourists Popped in for coffee, but stayed for lunch. We were both extremely pleased with the food. Good quality, homemade, wholesome food, served with a smile and a chat if you want one, and at a very reasonable price. It's good to know these types of cafe's still exist. Many thanks for the effort you made on a cold, wet Tuesday.

I chose The Aspidistra as a place to meet up with old friends who we hadn't seen for a while, due to the distances involved. I randomly picked it online mainly due to the variety on the home made menu and it's name! We were greeted like old friends by the waitress and although they were already busy at 12am she found us a suitable table. I must admit to being a little disappointed by the absence of an Aspidistra. However, on mentioning this, she did point out a rather unloved and half dead specimen behind me, which was leaning precariously on a broken table. This caused great hilarity in our group and set the tone for the rest of our visit which was full of laughter and rather raucous. The staff went to great trouble to ensure that any requests were catered for, such at lactose intolerance and offered extra gravy at no cost. The food was excellent for the price with all fresh ingredients. We were allowed to rest in between courses and didn't feel rushed which was nice as it was a cold wet day and 2 of us have mobility problems. The Aspidistra is obviously very popular with locals too. I would imagine it is down to the great welcome ( or over friendliness as deemed by some reviewers) given by the waitress and other staff to all their customers! Slight downside was that we had to clean our own table with wet wipes and the table cloth was rather old and tired looking. We will definitely be returning if they'll have us! I might even take them a nice healthy aspidistra and bring the old one home for some TLC!😂

Passing The Aspidistra on a Friday lunchtime, it looked full of locals, which we took to be a good sign. We shared a table, and soon got chatting. The Aspidistra is a popular local haunt, with an old fashioned menu and old fashioned prices to match. Most dishes - fish n chips, lasagne, were £5.95, with roasts at £6.95. The food was wholesome, the staff friendly and there was a jolly atmosphere as we chatted to locals, who make it a regular trip on Fridays particularly, but I'm sure it would be good any day of the week. Nothing pretentious here.

If you want the best luncheon meal in Llandrindod Wells visit the Aspidistra, I have been to all the other restaurants in Llandrindod and some are very good indeed but in my opinion for top quality food and friendly helpful staff go to the Aspidistra. Try it and you will see what I mean. Douglas.

Friendly staff, first class food never anything served cold or inappropriately heated. Good All Day Breakfasts but also serve daily Roasts. Their sweet speciality is a choice of lovely pancakes; a portion is two. Accessible to wheelchair users and zimmer frame users but electric scooters not so. Everyone helpful. Only comment about cafe is that though very clean wax table clothes make it look a bit like a 'workingmans caff' which is a tremendous shame!

A great little pub. Proper local feel and a proper, traditional pub. Felt a bit sorry for the lady behind the bar, she seemed rushed off her feet, but remained friendly despite this (I wouldn't have). We had a quick stop for a pint and a bap. We could have bedded down for the afternoon. We will be back.
