The Bay Restaurant in Gwynedd

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%.

After reading the reviews, we thought we have to visit! But to our disappointment, the food was not that great. It’s as good as bar food with a pricey tag. The kids burger patty was rubbery that even my 8 yrs old could tell. What’s...

We ate outside during the heatwave. The restaurant was very busy but staff were friendly and took the time to chat. Quality of food was very high and much better value than other restaurants around Barmouth. Views over bay from terrace were excellent.

We have just got back from visiting the bay restaurant after booking last minute. I want to start by agreeing with the previous reviews and that’s not to be put off by this restaurant been located on a caravan site. The views are amazing and...

I’ll be honest, we arrived and were feeling sceptical as the restaurant is in the middle of a holiday park however the menu looked great and the views were beautiful so decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, and it was the best...

Absolutely amazing food and service! We shared the camembert and then I had the pork belly whilst my partner had the mussels. All the food was fresh and tasted so good! Our dog was welcomed as well and the staff were so wonderful!

We visited the restaurant whilst on a short break to Barmouth. From the outside, we were very unsure what to expect. The service was amazing, the food was amazing, the whole visit was amazing. Staff were extremely friendly, nothing was to much trouble at all....

We were staying locally and drove past seeing the advertising outside the holiday park We weren’t disappointed, attentive staff, great selection of foods The food took some time to arrive but that was because it was all cooked fresh and beautifully presented No one had...

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,...

We visited for dinner and it was truly amazing, service was impeccable, staff couldn’t do enough for you. We had the mussels and Lasagne and will definitely be visiting again!

THE DEFINITION OF FOOD PORN! This is the best place to eat in gwynedd and please if someone knows of somewhere better please let me know because this place is hard to beat. Top food full of flavour, the right portion sizes and fantastic service. A place to be really proud of well done guys.

Superb food, great choice, reasonable prices. Very nice surroundings and very friendly staff. This is a must when staying here

Superb food great choice and reasonable prices. This restaurant is the gem of the site. Very comfortable, good surroundings and amazing food.

We were staying at the caravan park and booked last minute and what a good move. Food was excellent staff couldn't have done enough for us and our doggy. Lovely 5star evening our only disappointment was we could get in the following night.

A 'Proper Sunday Roast' indeedy, we booked several weeks ago as we know how booked up, busy and a hotspot the Bay Restaurant can be for its Sunday Roast.Delightful, tasty and well balanced menu with plenty of choice which made pleasant dining. The chefs for sure know what boxes to tick as everything is covered to make it a "Proper Sunday Roast', classical cookery skills with tradition and modern twists...the chefs done good fair play.Front of house happy and service good throughout, kind and polite whilst keeping the standards of the covid-19 guidelines tip top. Good food, good service, good family atmosphere and good sea views. Will be back soon for sure, lots of choice for Sunday dinner in the Barmouth area, but so glad we've got a lovely restaurant that does it 'Proper'

My husband and I were looking forward to our meal at The Bay. I ordered corn beef and potato pie made with short crust pastry with mash and gravy. The waitress said she had to check with the chef if the pie was available to order, she returned and said it was ok to order the pie as it was available. When we were served our meals i immediately saw the pastry was puff not short crust but shrugged that off and cut into the pie and found it was NOT corn beef and potato pie but some sort of steak with gravy! I called the waitress over and told her i had been given the wrong pie and asked what kind it was, she replied "it's steak and ale pie, don't you like it"? I told her i didn't, please could i have the pie I ordered. She advised me there was no corn beef and potato pie, "didn't i want the steak and ale pie"? There was absolutely no understanding on the waitresses part of what i was upset about, i ordered pie and she had brought me pie! I finally ordered lasagne and asked for it to take away since by this time my husband had finished his meal (which he very much enjoyed). Everyone was very apologetic and couldn't be more helpful but my meal out was ruined and we won't be going back to the Bay again.

This restaurant was wonderful. All of the staff were very friendly, and the food was exceptional. I ate from the gluten free menu and had so much choice - including onion rings! My partner ate from the normal menu and also had rave reviews. All the portion sizes are generous and ingredients tasted very fresh. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

I visited The Bay restaurant with my partner whilst on holiday in Barmouth, it was fantastic! We were made to feel so welcome along with our dog, we couldn’t fault a thing, service & food were absolutely amazing. We already can’t wait to visit again in future. Such a lovely restaurant & all staff were brilliant. Thank you so much
