The Bay Restaurant in Gwynedd

We were greeted with a smile by the Maitre d’ who also correctly guessed the name of our party. All the staff were friendly, attentive & professional, & the ambiance was welcoming & relaxed. Most importantly we all enjoyed our Sunday lunches & left, satisfied & happy.

We had a wonderful meal. The food was so enjoyable, tasty so very moorish. It was . Enjoyed the Lamb Henry it was delicious . We also had the Monk fish, this was enjoyed also.Also had some very nice zero drinks, so no worries about driving!. The place is clean and beautiful, with some lovely views. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Will certainly go again!. Sunday lunch here we come.

Highly recommend this restaurant for their Sunday lunch menu. Visited with my parents and as usual the meal was delicious, Started with duck spring rolls, then we ordered roast beef and turkey with plenty of fresh vegetables. The deserts were huge and I can recommend the apple pie cake with fresh cream. Excellent value for money and very friendly staff.

Had a fantastic meal here. They state they are dog friendly, as so many places do, but they should say they are dog loving. From the personal bowl of water delivered to your table, the dog treats given to each dog whilst they wait for dinner to the doggy menu (my 3 loved the burgers and the bangers) and the loves given by the waitress when she sat on the floor to welcome them, I have never had my dogs made to feel so important. The human food was brilliant too, and lots of it. So, Thank You to Nathan and the team (sorry, I forgot the wonderful female server's name) for a very relaxing, incredibly tasty and amazingly dog welcoming evening. Nicky and Chris (and the 3 dogs - Sam, Gala and Fara)

By far the best meal of my life, and the service was absolutely incredible in every way. Nathan somehow managed to remember our entire family order from memory, with the perfect balance of time between starters and mains. Might I add; this was also achieved while our feral, ADHD children were interrupting us each step of the way, so compliments to this fine specimen of a human 👏👏 To add more context; I’ve been on the carnivore diet for over 5 years, eating over 2000+ steaks, and theirs was devoured within the span of a minute. Absolutely astonishing culinary skills, and complements to the Chefs ❤️ Regards, Steven

We visited for Sunday lunch and had a lovely meal of a main course and dessert. Food was tasty and served quickly. It was also good value!

Second visit for a Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint. Lovely place, friendly, welcoming staff and amazing food that is great value for money. What's not to like?! Will definitely go back.

From the moment we walked in the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They brought biscuits and water straight away for the dog. We had free nibbles to begin with which is a nice touch. The food was excellent and good value for money. Nathan was such a happy chappie as were all the staff. We’ll be coming again.

You'd me mistaken for thinking this is just an average holiday park restaurant as from the outside it looks nothing special. However once you go in, it is set out lovely and they are extremely dog friendly with a special doggie menu too. The staff were very attentive without being overbearing and gave us time to look through the menu etc. Portions were generous and everything tasted lovely. More importantly, everything we had was cooked to order, so came out perfectly hot. The Bay View restaurant is what you would call a hidden gem!! We loved it and hope to return before the end of our holiday.

We come to Barmouth a couple of times a year and always make sure to book a table here. The food is always delicious, (we have tried a lot of items on the menu and all are very tasty!) the portions are very good and it is reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the bathrooms and restaurant very clean and well looked after and there is clear attention to detail (such as the silverware always being polished) I would recommend this restaurant over any other in Barmouth to anyone visiting. The food and quality of service is outstanding and we always make sure to come back. Cant wait for next time!!

We had a wonderful meal. The food was so enjoyable, tasty so very moorish. It was very filling. But we still managed a lovely black cherry sponge, with brandy cherries 🍒 and cherry ice cream. Yummy. The place is clean and beautiful, with some lovely views. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Can not wait to go again.

Great restaurant for Sunday lunch. Went both Sundays during our holiday. Fab food at a decent price. You have to book in advance which we did online.

The most amazing food ever enjoy the evening service amazing made us feel so special would definitely gone here again

Came for Sunday lunch on our first day of a family holiday. Everything about it was first class. The service, the atmosphere, and the food. All at a very reasonable price. We all had 3 courses and enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommended.

Went on our yearly visit this week. Found it just as good as ever. We travel every year from the Midlands to eat there

This place is absolutely beautiful. The views are unique. The restaurant is very nice, tables are setup in a beautiful elegant way, the food and service were also excellent. I would recommend this place for any occasion.

Being coming to Barmouth for the last 5 years and only stumbled on this restaurant by chance. What can I say food excellent, staff so attentive and very dog friendly even had a menu for dogs. Highly recommended for a lovely chilled evening. Views are outstanding as well.

Lovely restaurant set within a caravan park and open to the general public. A varied menu and excellent value for money. The food was superb and the waiting on staff very professional and nothing was too much. The view from the restaurant is amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant. We are going back there very soon.

Lovey pub, food was quickly delivered and was delicious. Will definitely recommend and be returning.

I booked the restaurant online, with a request within their "requests" box, for a "romantic table which has views of the sea". Request was not even acknowledged or mentioned upon our arrival, and we were ushered to a cramped table in a tight corner, way to close to a group 6 people [who happened to have the sea view]. Terrible cooking, lacking refinement and understanding of how to cook the ingredients properly 'eg' Crab Cakes are more like Cra* Cakes [not very fresh].....and Swordfish [not very fresh] overcooked like a well done beef steak. Salads and accompanying sides were dreadful. I can cook better myself, and i'm not a chef!!

We dined as a family of five for Sunday lunch, 3/9/23. The restaurant is situated on Hendre Coed Isaf Holiday Park, a very well kept static caravan holiday park which has a pool for residents and a pirate themed play park. We reserved a table, and were shown to it promptly, we were almost the furthest table from the window but it was great weather and you could just about see the sea. There are really a handful of tables with a view (I hadn't requested one.) We all had roast dinners (Turkey/Beef) which looked like a very large portion, especially the children's portion, however all the adults finished their delicious meals off, and the children's was happily boxed up by the staff at the end of our meals. We had desserts, the ice cream was good quality, the panna cotta was delicious and the crumble cake (I'm told) was scrumptious. The service was great, attentive but not intrusive. The terrace outside had beautiful views, and was a lovely place to have a relaxed drink.

A mixed response to the food. I had ham hock followed by duck,my husband had siracha wings followed by cannelloni and daughter had cauliflower bites followed by kids chicken nuggets and chips. My dishes were lovely, well cooked, husbands starter was good but main was burnt, daughters cauliflower bites were so spicy she couldn’t eat them. We were all really looking forward to it due to reviews but were left underwhelmed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, unfortunately we couldn’t see the views from where we were seated.

We were on holiday nearby and booked a family Sunday lunch at short notice when some wet weather closed in. The restaurant was busy, so parking was a bit of a challenge, but the food and service were every bit as good as previous reviews had promised. There are gluten free options, the beef and good selection vegetables were cooked perfectly, and we can highly recommend the ice cream for dessert. Great value, with a very friendly welcome. Thank you.

We are a family of 4. I was a little wary at first as it’s on a holiday park & not particularly up to date. But I need ent have worried. All the staff were courteous & couldn’t do enough for us. The food was all very nice & it is reasonably priced for the area. All in all a very nice meal they we all enjoyed.

We are here staying in one of the lovely caravans and have just had the most wonderful meal at the Bay Restaurant. The staff are so lovely and friendly, and the food was absolutely fabulous. The cost of the meals is also very very reasonable and I would have been happy to pay more as we really couldn't fault a single thing. Thank you very much, we are coming to stay again in September and will definitely be dining here again.

Food quality and amount were superb. Service was excellent and best of all very reasonable price for such a high standard of food. Views over bay and ambience also superb. The manager even took the time to draw us a meal of the best local beaches 😀

We had Sunday lunch at The Bay during our visit to Barmouth. The service is second to none and the quality of food is exceptional. You would be hard pushed to find a better Sunday lunch in the area. Value for money too. Can’t recommend...

Loved our date night at The Bay Restaurant last night, stunning views (of both the sea and of my fiancee!) and excellent food. Great choice, service and not expensive. Will be back 100%.

Overlooking Cardigan Bay, the restaurant is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Service was first class. Drinks Menu is extensive and the food excellent, prepared individually and cooked fresh. We were there on 17th June so not yet "in season" and therefore easy to get in. However,...
