The Bank Restaurant in Gwynedd

A wonderful meal at Bank. Food was amazing, very appreciative of recommendation to have fishcakes to start! Husband had goats cheese. Both absolutely yummy. Mains were just as good and my husband said the lamb was melt in the mouth. I had the plaice. Perfectedly cooked and we had a side of the best cauliflower cheese I have tasted. Service was brilliant, restaurant was busy with a lovely atmosphere. You won't be disappointed and we will definitely be back 😊

Just had a birthday meal at The Bank. It was fabulous and very enjoyable The service was 1st class too. We shall be going back very soon.

Visited for a birthday meal with my partner on a Sunday evening. The menu was excellent. I had a halloumi, Walnut and fig starter and it was honestly one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten for a long time. Our mains were a duet of beef and a risotto. Both smacked of flavour and clearly made by a chef with an excellent palate. If you was being super critical the plate presentation could be better but the taste was stunning. Good service nice decor and excellent value. Will be back.

Hubby and I had 3 courses … all superb. Lovely wine list. Excellent service. This restaurant is a gem … we’ll be back to Barmouth soon we can eat here again.

Outstanding food. Beautifully presented and high quality . Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb but feel that a rack of lamb should be more than two cutlets. Asked for mint sauce but there was none available which was surprising . But highly recommend the restaurant for the amazing food

Absolutely stunning food...can not find fault with anything. If you haven't been what have you been doing.. just go. Yum yum

Situated on the high street and has a light and airy feel. The atmosphere feels perfect. The staff work extremely hard ensuring your needs are taken care of. Been twice now and equally impressed.

A lovely evening at this very relaxed restaurant. The food was excellent and the service first-rate. We will definitely return, especially for the treacle tart! It was scrumptious.

Excellent food in a nice room with friendly and efficient staff. We’re accommodating of food intolerances as well. Great place

Beautiful food, attentive service but not intrusive, didn't feel rushed. Whole menu was wonderful from the warm foccacia with good olive oil when we arrived to the wonderful treacle tart with clotted cream and raspberries to finish. Lots of little delights in between - pork and apricot terine, rack of lamb with lemon broccoli, spiced faggot and carrot puree. Delicious! A real treat - would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fantastic meal , thank you

Excellent meal. Great choices on the menu. Will definitely return. Back again 2024. Another fabulous meal. Spoilt for choice on the food and cocktail menus

This is 5th year of visiting restaurant, as always fantastic In every way, also got more jars of jams and chutney , see you next year xx

Fabulous food. Very well presented. A real gem of a restaurant. Great seasonal veg and you can tell the chef really cares.

Intimate, friendly and great service. All 3 courses were fantastic, the salmon and prawn tagliatelle was excellent, cooked to perfection.

Special place, run by special people. Small by ideal for our romantic anniversary meal. The food and atmosphere were superb. Highly recommend to others

Dull,Dull and very very overpriced and over rated. Unfortunately we were so disappointed with The Bank after seeing the ratings. We arrived to a very quiet restaurant which was surprising considering it was Friday night in the middle summer but all was revealed. The service was a little slow at first but nothing to complain about, the atmosphere and decor was dull, dull, dull ( you could hear a pin drop ) . We ordered olives to share, Salmon tagliatelle, sea bass for main and Eaton mess for dessert. The olives were very nice but unfortunately the Salmon tagliatelle was very, very bland, the salmon and prawns were very over cooked and who on earth thought it was a good idea to put courgettes and cherry tomatoes in tagliatelle ?? The sauce was a bit like parsley sauce. I tried to salvage it with plenty of salt but still very bland. My wife’s sea bass was very small dish with no presentation and for £33 you expect some bells and whistles !! So the Eaton mess , o dear, two blobs of strawberry ice cream shop bought meringue whirls, one strawberry cut into four with strawberry coulis in a cereal bowl !!! £8.50 ? Total bill was £85 with a large glass of wine and one tonic water with lime. Now I know why it was very quiet for a Friday night in the middle of summer. Good luck with the future I for one will not be returning.

“Some of the best food I’ve had in a while“ said one of our party, which is a good reflection on our visit. The service was good, the decor lovely and the food the star. Complimentary bruschetta was fresh and served with a tasty olive oil. We shared the ham croquettes, which were freshly cooked and crisp not greasy. The mains were Romesco Crusted Cod and Paprika Chicken Breast. Both were great, large portions, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Desserts of custard tart with roasted rhubarb and Jamaica Ginger Cake finished the meal in style. The Bank did not have any draught beer, but the bottle of Purple Moose Ysgawen was served at a lovely temperature. My only criticism was the playlist, which was incongruous with the setting. I’d recommend a visit 👍

Lovely experience. I can't wait to come back.

This place is AMAZING! The asparagus and pea soup are heavenly. Strongly recommend! Every dishes is tasty. We order lamb meatball humus, scalap , beetroot carpaccio and soup for starter. For main we order lobster, prawn tagliatelle, duel beef, and duck breast. Tagliatelle is a bit too creamy(but the salmon on top is cooked perfectly), but everything else is simply very very well cooked. Would definitely revisit when we get a chance. This place is at least a bib gourmet if Michelin ever come and rate this place.

So lovely we dined there both nights we were in Barmouth. The food was superb - great tasting and the portion sizes were perfect. Not a single complaint from our party about any of the dishes we chose. Great choice of drinks there too! Service was outstanding. Look forward to going back next time I'm in Barmouth

I have visited every time I'm in Barmouth for the last 9 + years. The competition for great dinning in Barmouth is at a very very high level these days. I would ask that yourselves and others have more choices for GF and vegetarian . But thank you again for a great meal with my brothers.

The food and atmosphere was incredible!!! The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Food and drinks are so well made. Would 100% recommend!

Service was good and very friendly. We had the monkfish and chicken breast. It was very tasty but portions could be bigger. For dessert, I had the dark chocolate tart. Again, portions were small. All in all we found that it was quite pricey but enjoyed our meal.

Booked here for our last meal in Barmouth and we all thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Probably the nicest food you'll find locally, don't let the price tag put you off. The food and service were great. They also went above and beyond for one of us who were vegan.

Amazing food and ambience. We visit on holiday every year and the quality never ceases to deliver. Staff are great. Perfection.

Another excellent experience. Great service and food at reasonable prices. Not our first visit and certainly not our last. Very good range of dishes on the menu makes it difficult to choose. Settled for pork belly start and a perfectly cooked steak with coconut rice pudding to finish. Our favourite restaurant by some distance.

Amazing restaurant, food outstanding and being coeliac they really were brilliant at being able to cater for me. Would definitely recommend!

We found The Bank on best places to eat in Barmouth. We were not disappointed. What an excellent restaurant. Superb food and service. We would certainly return next time we are in Barmouth.

The food was above average, unfortunately this was tainted by the absolutely pretentious service that was provided by the staff in the restaurant while on a lovely holiday to the seaside.

Beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff and happy to cater to your needs. A lovely night out. Highly recommended.

We booked a table in advance and it was expected to be slightly high end kind of restaurant. The service was exceptionally good and welcomed. The food price wasn't over the top but portion of foods could be dainty. The lamb rump with a bed of leek cheese sauce was a little like a messy presentation but cheesy and somehow is slightly too salty than my liking. Asparagus peas ricotta vegetarian lagsane was yummy, the fried courgettes were nice to eat. Dessert bread and butter pudding in whiskey custard sauce was really dainty and crispy bread. How I wish the whiskey sauce could be more generous than it was. Thank you for the great table service and complimented foccacia bread and olive oil. Hopefully next time we there again can try other dishes. I was hopeful to get another bottle local beer but colder and more heads than the one I had.

What a wonderful building to have an amazing dining experience. A truly beautiful meal, the food was outstanding, cooked to perfection and we will definitely be going again.

We had a brilliant night, the food was very nice. The service was very good too. When we return to Barmouth this will be on our list, again! Hope we get table 6 next to 9. It was fun! All staff were perfect.

Fantastic service as always. Really friendly people , we love spending an evening here whenever we are in Barmouth. We will be back again soon.

Fantastic food and service .Diner with allergies and a vegan catered for very well.A very relaxing and tasty evening.Pleasant surroundings.

This restaurant is something special. The food was fresh and cooked too a very high standard. Good balance of fish/meat and vegetarian meals. The waitress were very friendly and high lighted dishes to try Price also good, not cheap and not over the top.

Whenever we are in the area we always try to manage dinner at The Bank, but today for no reason other than we knew we would have an amazing lunch and superb service we didn’t mind a two hour drive, and thats exactly what we had , well worth it thank you , Happy Mothers Day 🥰

Great food in a lovely setting with fabulous staff. Front of house was so friendly and helpful. Really varied and tasty food

This is the place to go for really beautiful food for a special occasion. Two of our party have food intolerances and we ordered in advance though I have eaten there without advance warning. They are always very careful and there is plenty to choose from.

Good atmosphere, good food, good drink, good service. Been here before and will probably come back again when visiting Barmouth.

Lovely food, lively restaurant… it’s a dreary February night but The Bank is full. Our food was delicious- the steak exceptionally well cooked. And the dessert platter was gorgeous.

Staying in Barmouth for a few months while house hunting. It's early in the year so lots of places are closed and the standard is generally poor but then I found The Bank! Valentine's menu - the venue was decorated with hints to match but I didn't feel out of place as a solo old man. What a menu though! Fantastic food, beautifully presented. Charming, friendly service. Such a refreshing find. Hard to believe this is Barmouth.

We had a lovely meal at the Bank. Very quiet on the night we were there but that was not a problem for us. The food was lovely and we were made very welcome. We would love to visit again

Amazing experience from start to finish. Attentive friendly service and the food was faultless. Great value for money for the quality of the food.

Great service, beautiful food! Super vegetarian options . Incredibly pleasant experience. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Barmouth to go and eat here!

Outstanding meal to celebrate New Year’s Eve Our 2nd tome to the bank and the meal was incredible! 10/10 Staff very friendly

Dinner was excellent, top quality & great value for money. First class friendly service & great atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

The food was OK but no more than that. I may be very much mistaken but the food that I ate appeared to have been frozen and thawed out, my shoetbread tasted stale. The decor, venue and services lacked the finesse that I would expect for the prices charge.

Superb menu, service & food. Even though it I was the only customer they made me feel very welcome. The croquettes while browsing were excellent and the duo of beef stunning.

Just love this place, delicious food, lovely people, can't wait to go back 😋

Once agine excellent food & front of house Lovely atmosphere Fantastic service Amazing food Mmm delicious

Poor experience at the Bank Barmouth. Starter was a chowder. It had one piece of prawn in it , disappointing but tasty enough. Main course of steak ( no sauces available to go with it) expensive and the pollenta chips were not to my taste....

The food was very poor. The so called rump of lamb was in fact two thin slices of lamb covered in uncooked white fat which was so hard that the steak knife just could not cut the fat off. The only option was to set the rump to one side and eat the vegetables. Not great.

My wife and I had dinner here and it was excellent . The menu was great, just enough choice and we could have eaten the lot. We shared an amuse bouche ham croquettes, then had a terrine and Waldorf salad starters. Mains were duet of beef and cod on Mediterranean beans with tomatoes and chorizo sauce. We shared a coconut rice pudding. It was all excellent, service was great and there was a really good and reasonably priced wine list too. We have been going to Barmouth for years and we can’t quite figure out why we haven’t been here before, we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!

Excellent food ( Top notch! ) there was a party of ten of us and every meal chosen was said to be delicious with no complaints. The staff were extremely attentive giving a lovely ambience to the restaurant. Thankyou.

I booked this restaurant the day before a 2 night stay just outside Barmouth. The Menu looked good online and it had excellent reviews. We were not disappointed , the food was fantastic, the Service friendly and attentive, the ambience was relaxing and the whole...

Excellent food, a really good atmosphere with efficient and lovely staff, would definitely recommend & will be returning, nice one guys.

Booked a table at the Bank having read the good reviews. We were not disappointed , it was fairly quiet when we arrived but filled up nicely through the evening. Superb food we both had the Winter Warmer menu and great service. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times and it has always been exceptional.. but tonight was lacklustre. Dry toast with a crab starter - weird! Very small under-seasoned fillet with under-reduced watery sauce, lovely suet pud, a few carrots , mash and peas £35!!! Really?!? Expected to...

Good food (the cod fillet was fantastic) with friendly staff providing excellent service. Definitely a good place to eat

Yet another fabulous meal at The Bank. The food just keeps on getting better and better. My wife said that the Treacle Tart was the best that she’d ever tasted!

A comfortable restaurant serving excellent food. I had the duet of beef which, I think, could have only been improved if the steak suet pudding was a steak and kidney pudding. Looking forward to my next visit.

Delicious food(leek and potato chowder, plaice meunière, cod and chorizo haricot beans) lovely wine (Shiraz) and great service. What more can you ask for. Highly recommended.

Couldn’t of done better. Food was superb. The place was lovely, clean and atmospheric. Was greeted warmly and friendly. Would definitely return for a meal.

What a little gem hidden in Barmouth. We had a superb meal and really enjoyed a relaxed evening with a good bottle of wine. Good choices on the menu even with so many foods I avoid. My husband had the plaice which was really good...

What a great meal. Me and my friend, but last minute for dinner and we weren’t disappointed! The food was excellent and really reasonably priced. Great special and brilliant service. I’ll definitely be back.

Went in for an evening meal to celebrate the end of September. The atmosphere from when you walk in is welcoming, the two ladies front of house are both very friendly and immediately you feel comfortable. The menu is fabulous, quite fish focused, but as...

Had a wonderful evening, with excellent food, drink and service. The steak was so tender and cooked just how I like it. Will definitely be coming back.

This is the second year running that we have eaten at The Bank in Barmouth during our annual golfing trip to Harlech, Aberdovey and Conwy. Eating at The Bank has become one of the highlights of our trip!

Sans prétention, du bien fait et bon. Service efficace, qualité dans l'assiette, une bonne table à prix raisonnables ...

Lovely food, friendly owner had a really lovely time food service excellent . Steak was beautiful will be back

It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening: lovely atmosphere, excellent food, very good service, good value. Highly recommend.

Great food, service and atmosphere, but the place is a bit pricey.

A restaurant we visit regularly as it is great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere and always up to the mark. It’s a great place to eat

Wonderful food, relaxed atmosphere with great service ! Our second visit in as many days. From start to finish a great experience- even the wine was delish!

This restaurant is an absolute gem. They know their food. Run with efficient and friendly service on the old bank floor with a lovely atmosphere. Arrived a little early and was asked to wait with the offer of drinks, lovely made G&T. Sat on time, menu short but still had a lovely variety. Specials were perfect. Facaccia and olive oil served. We ordered both specials, the Seafood Bisque and cheese scone was exceptional. We shared a whole lobster with the best ever polenta chips. It came hot in garlic with a julienne salad. We finished with an expresso martini. The restaurant was full, and the floor was run by two of the hardest working people I've seen. You can tell it's independent, and we will definitely be back soon. Thank you, and we'll done!

Lovely atmosphere and food. Need to book. Recommend the risotto

Delicious cassoulet & panna cotta, served until 9pm.

Great little restaurant with excellent food and service with a smile. Delicious Hake and Frangipani but all the menu looked great so difficult as to what to try. Thanks

Amazing food, amazing service 🤩

A great dinner from the get-go when two beautiful pillowy pieces of focaccia were brought with some top class olive oil to dip into. From then on it got better and better. We picked two mini starters of ham croquettes and REAL crispy seaweed- the...

This place is definitely worth a visit. The food is truly incredible and Megan and her staff are really courteous and helpful.

Fantastic meal in a lovely relaxed setting. All of the party 6 enjoyed all the food and drink. Would definitely go back again when in Barmouth.

Lovely meal, good service, well priced, nice atmosphere, would book again if I was staying in Barmouth

We always try to come here when in the area, and we enjoyed it as much as ever. The halloumi salad was excellent, the dressing was perfect for it. I loved the lobster too. I did not have room for dessert, but tried a bit...

There is nothing particularly bad about this restaurant. It is perfectly ok, as is the food served which is very nice, but it just doesn't have any stand out features. The menu is a little bland and limited, and the interior of the restaurant is...

Excellent food, reasonably priced and friendly service. The king prawn and pan-fried scallops risotto with samphire is a fabulous main course. We also loved the Thai fishcake starter and crispy seaweed with aioli. Good selection of cocktails, wines and local ales and ciders served.

My husband & I had a wonderful 3 course meal here. Beautifully presented tasty food. Excellent service

We come here every summer as we holiday in Barmouth. Usually we have the grandparents to babysit but this year we didn’t so we took our five and seven year olds along. The service was excellent- our children like seafood and my eldest happily shared...

Excelent Food at a fair Price Level, we booked online which was east. At arrival we could chose table at our own choice. Over all experience was very good.

Nice meal. Good cocktails. Nice environment
