The Harbourfront Bistro in Isle of Anglesey

Staying in the area and wanted to celebrate our anniversary,so going on other reviews booked here,so glad we did, really friendly and welcoming staff in an amazing setting.The portions are generous and every dish was full of flavour, we had the cauliflower (which was a revelation) and duck bon bons,a crab salad special and fish tacos, somehow we also managed a portion of dirty fries which could be a meal on their own !,the locals are lucky to have it.

Super!!!!!Highly recommend, the food was very good. I will definitely go back there

Seriously the best place to eat on the island. Service is first class, the food even better. 100% recommend

Perfectly cooked sea bass for me and a delicious fresh crab salad for my wife. Followed by creme brulee. Superb service and good value for money. We will be back.

Great food. Simple but done well. Service is great and the venue itself is beautifully done.

Great food and really nice staff! Look forward to coming back again

Great food and service as usual.

What a fabulous day we had there yesterday, making my retirement so very special. The food was absolutely fabulous, the staff were so attentive. Thank you so so much - can't wait to go back

Such an amazing place! Staff is extremely friendly and food so tasty! Would highly recommend coming here if you visiting Wales

Wow. The food is amazing, and the staff knows how to make you feel comfortable. I just love it

Absolutely loved The Harbourfront Bistro! The food was amazing, especially the burger🥰🥰, and the views are unbeatable. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Perfect spot for a chilled meal by the water

Fantastic experience food plenty of staff spot on

It is a spectacular place, next to the sea, the waitresses treated me very well and recommended what to order, the food was also very good, I would return

Had super crab salad. Good views over harbour

Delicious food, lovely setting and wonderful staff 😁😍 we had a lovely evening 😀 highly recommend and we'll definitely be back!!!

Cute, casual, little cafe behind the Maritime museum, right on the water. The day I was there, it was sunny and warm, so sat outside. Just had a snack. Staff were friendly and service was lovely.

Fantastic place. Highly recommend.

First class restaurant, by the sea, great view and great food!

What an amazing experience 👏 Perfect location, really cozy bistro with breathtaking food. You can order a selection of three small plates and get free fries, a popular option since the small plates are simply delicious. I can highly recommend the salted striped steak 🥩 as a main. Overall one of the best restaurants we ever visited in the last few years.

1st time there and we loved it. Food was fabulous and the place was gorgeous, busy but relaxed atmosphere. We'll be back this weekend.. booking in advance recommended.

Great local restaurant. Tacos were amazing. Really high quality local ingredients.

Super friendly owner, great food.

Wow amazing place we loved it arrived by Rib party of 9 had great service great food .would be great if it had a jetty to more boats I’m sure more would come top marks though thank you

Lovely view of the harbour. Really friendly and helpful staff. Food was high quality and presented well

Wonderful little family run restaurant. Food is fantastic and service is great. Nice view of the coast as well.

Amazing food and restaurant always feel welcome from the staff and the scenery wow 👌 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

August 3 24 Absolutely lovely , busy but great atmosphere , food delicious not over priced . Service Great we must go more often . Julia and John

Lovely restaurant and a beautiful setting. Gluten free options on the menu too 😋 A must visit if you're in Holyhead.

We didn't make a reservation so they could only seat us at 1+pm which wasn't a problem. We just walked along the promenade to build up an appetite! So four hungry people ordered a crab & lobster sandwich, a seafood bisque with homemade spicy rum infusion, a hamburger and a haddock fish and chips. The bisque was great especially with the spiced rum. And the owner seeing is so taken with it, poured an extra tot off the run first is two taste neat! Very nice! The fish and chips were great as well. The fish was very fresh and the chips were extra crispy. The other set of chips were kind of fat so less crispy and needed ketchup 😁 The other two dishes were good but not as memorable as the bisque and fish. The dishes were large as well and we had to give up on dessert and coffee! Will definitely return, this time with a reservation!

Wonderful little gem of a place we discovered. Food and service excellent!!

Me and my wife basically only went looking for a coffee and stumbled across this lovely place, we couldn't get a table straight away but the manager said come back in twenty minutes and I'll have a table for you. We did that and although we didn't have a big meal the food, the atmosphere and the service were absolutely excellent. All the staff that served us were very polite and cheerful so much so that I left a tip which generally is something I don't do so keep up the good work, we certainly won't hesitate to drop in again. Thank you.

Found this amazing bistro today, popped in just for a cuppa and ended up having lunch Beautiful food and lovely staff, very welcoming. Planning to return especially from the Lake Disrict it was that good.

A bustling restaurant in a fairly sleep town, with a great buzz, great food and super service.

Very good address in a magnificent setting! All the dishes we tried were very good and the service was very friendly! THANKS

I came here for lunch with family while on holiday nearby, and it definitely lived up to the positive reviews! I called in the morning to see if I could book a table for the same day, and the gentleman I spoke to was lovely and helpful and managed to fit us in. The staff were all friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. I went for Cajun fish tacos which were delicious and just the right amount of spicy! The others had fish and chips (a generous portion with chunky chips) and garlic mushrooms with fries which smelled amazing. We really enjoyed our meal with views of the harbour, and overall it was good value for money and a really nice lunch. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

Amazing place food & atmosphere !

Fantastic - looking forward to visiting again soon! Great menu, lovely staff (super helpful) and superb GF options too 😊👌

Great location with views over the harbour. The service was really quick a d we enjoyed a lovely meal.. The staff were really friendly and welcoming

Fantastic place, excellent gluten free options.

I would highly recommend The Harbourfront Bistro. It was one of the best meals I've had on Anglesey. The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and has an amazing view. The service was great. I have nothing bad to say about The Harbourfront Bistro. Thanks for a brilliant experience.

Great view and atmosphere. One of our group of 4 was vegan and found they had plenty of tasty options to choose from. Everyone else in the group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend and will certainly return. Enjoyed the best meal of my trip home to Anglesey

Excellent place to eat. Not cheap, but worth the money. They also have a good menu, which included both vegetarian and vegan options. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambience, and the staffs professionalism.

We found this gem of an eatery tucked behind the Maritime Museum in Holyhead by chance. Sat at a communal table in the enclosed porch and met a wonderful couple. The view of the harbour was excellent, the service friendly and personal, and the food freshly prepared and very tasty. A good selection of locally caught seafood.

Twice we have been and chosen 3 Tapas from the Menu. The food is excellent. The fish cakes the best we’ve ever had. All at a good price I highly recommend it

Wild weather outside, waves coming over the breakwater wall. A warm welcome and great food had at the Harbourfront Bistro. Can highly recommend the Bermudian Chowder.

Fresh food cooked exceptionally taste. Must visit.

Little hidden gem in holyhead,great service,fantastic food and a great view

Been 3 time's with my sister and friends, while visiting from Worcestershire. Lovely experience

Excellent menu and gluten free options too We chose the sharing platter which was delicious Very friendly and helpful staff

The rating and review is based on my experience and the food I ordered and not that of the rest of the group I was with. We had pre booked a table, and upon arrival we were warmly greeted and promptly seated at the best table in the establishment. A cheerful waitress served us (although not very knowledgeable). We placed drinks and food orders together. Our starters arrived - Marinated Olives and Salt and Pepper Squid - Both freshly prepared and delicious. A short wait later part of our mains arrived - stunningly presented, piping hot and freshly made. The Chicken Breast & Crab Special arrived first followed 5min later by the two Sea Bass and a further 5min later my Salt & Pepper Steak (on a skillet) - Now when I placed the order for the steak I asked what cut it was (this is a huge thing for me as this would have cemented my decision - I was never informed, and the good conversation made me forget to check), also I asked for there to be no chilli … However it was presented with a “chilli spice” sprinkled all over it. The reason I ask for no chilli is because I feel the heat ruins the flavour for me. The dish was beautifully presented on a sizzling skillet which adds to the hype … but … that’s where it ended. I was confused as to what cut of meat was on the plate as it did not look like any cut I could identify (not Sirloin, Rump or Ribeye) either one of these would have made a world of difference. I’m not sure if it was the meat or the seasoning that gave me the impression I was eating Donner Kebab, and the chilli flakes halted any enjoyment. Three slices in and I stopped eating - regrettably only one star here. On the other hand … My family absolutely enjoyed ALL the other dishes. The food both looked AND tasted amazing! My Moms Chicken was succulent and she normally eats like a sparrow, but somehow managed to finish the WHOLE dish! The fresh Crab special was the best ever eaten and the Sea Bass was fresh and delicious - Two stars! My suggestion would be to turf the meat you are presenting as steak and offer a Rump/Sirloin/Ribeye - and prepare fresh Waffles those frozen ones are terrible Otherwise a charming and delightful little storefront Bistro with buckets of charm and definitely a MUST visit!

Please try 3 single plates with with any dish combination👌

From the moment you walk in you get the most friendlinest of welcomes. We sat in the lovely conservatory area with beautiful views of the harbour. We chose our drinks but took an age to choose our meals as we couldn't decide on the delicious options but the waitresses were so patient and seemed happy to wait. Eventually my husband chose the burger which he was over the moon that it came with a sourdough bun rather than the norm these days of brioche. He decided it was definitely one of the better burgers he'd had when eating out . I chose the seared flat iron steak topped with chilli and spring onion in a bed of roast vegetables. Oh my !! A great choice. It was deliciously tender and had a fantastic seasoning on it. We followed it up with a salted caramel brownie for my husband and a wonderful sticky toffee pudding for me. Both absolutely delicious. I'd highly recommend eating here . The service, food and ambience are all top notch. We'll definitely make this a regular when we're on Anglesey.

A thoroughly delightful experience 🤩 Food was excellent and the service, outstanding. Beautiful views and decor too

Perfect setting & food faultless!

The food here is just so amazing!! Nowhere on the island comes close never disappointed always come back! Nice vibes friendly staff and georgous views!

I love this place, as does everyone I have either taken there or recommended to. I have always had a very friendly welcome and excellent food. I was there on Sunday for my lunch and will return as soon as I am back in Anglesey. To all the staff, keep up the good work, you do an excellent job together.

Racist place, don't go if you are not from the town. Very rude staff that lied that you need a reservation to dine in. When we entered, a man looked at us up and down and asked if we had a reservation, to which we said no as there is no information whatsoever on the website or in the reviews about needing a reservation. There were empty tables, but he said they were full. I then tried to call the number from the website 3 times, on the third try, some lady answered the phone, and when I asked about reservation, she hung up on me. Definitely not recommending this place.

This is our new favourite place. Great food, friendly service and spectacular views. The sharing platters are an inspired idea. Can't wait for our next visit.

Nice little restaurant with nice, friendly and fast service. Food was great. Recommended.

Beautifully located and very nice staff

The food was very good and at a very reasonable price.

Fully booked but made room for two tourists at 5. Great experience, pity it is so far from home.

Visited here recently on two occasions, both times we had a great experience. Staff are friendly and helpful, the food was delicious with plenty of choice and the location is breathtaking.

What a lovely little find i had the Bermuda fish chowder it was amazing but mostly the staff and the atmosphere made me feel so welcome I had a very long day and a longer wait before my ferry this place felt like the hug I needed they let me sit at the most picturesque table with the best view even tho is was already booked they let me have it once I finished in the hour which I really appreciated because these days it’s so hard to get service as a single person eating I finished at the high table looking at the view I can’t compliment this business enough most definitely I will be back and I advise anyone traveling through holyhead on the ferry or others wise save your eating for when you get here 🙂🙂🙂💯💯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✅✅✅✅

Just out for a drive and dropped in on spec. Great food. Nice views of the harbour even in the usual pouring rain. Definitely one to try.

I had Sunday lunch, the roast beef was so lean and succulent, like nothing I had eaten in a restaurant before - delicious 😋

The benefits of missing our ferry!! Excellent on all fronts. Food, service and atmosphere all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great staff Lovely food Good day out

I didn't want to review the Harbourfront Bistro as it might make it harder to get a booking! As a local, this is a gem of a place. The food is of a high quality & plentiful. Their take on tapas & the choices is excellent. The staff greet you with a genuine smile & they are professional & attentive but not intrusive. The setting overlooks the outer harbour & is a nice backdrop. Whether you dine in the conservatory or not, the views & decor create a nice ambience. There are a couple of parking spaces near the bistro including a disabled space or you can park on the promenade, which is very close by.

Great restaurant with an amazing view. Staff are so polite and the food is excellent. We loved the Sunday lunch last week, would highly recommend.

Service is wonderful, personable and friendly, Coastal views, relaxing atmosphere. Dressed crab salad is a must :)

Our first visit here and can't recommend enough . Great staff , lovely location and yummy food 😋

Popped in yesterday lunchtime, without a reservation, and they looked after us so well. Great views, cozy atmosphere, amazing service and sublime food. What's not to love?

A great spot to grab lunch before the ferry

Fabulous meal out with friends to catch up after Christmas and New Year

Fab location ,food and staff.Defo recommend

Lovely quaint little bistro on the front in Holyhead. Food here is amazing and service was great too. There is a lovely little glass fronted dome that actually opens up in summer but thankfully not in December. Would highly recommended coming here if you're in Holyhead but make sure to book as its not that big and can easily fill up

This for me and my wife is the best place for food, drink, atmosphere, service and friendliness on Anglesey

Gorgeous bistro right on the waterfront. We sat in the window and watched the waves curl in. Tapas was delicious and service was friendly and happy.

W O W cant tell you just good food best mussels of wales

My partner and I ate at the Harbourfront Bistro last evening, Saturday 25/11. The food and service were truly amazing, and I cannot rate the Bistro highly enough. The only (very) slight downside was the high level of ambient noise in the room. As it was a Saturday night and clearly the Christmas function bookings are well under way, the place became full quickly, thus increasing the noise levels. This was not a deal-breaker, however, and was fully compensated by the extreemely high levels of service and food. We shall certainly book again, and urge anyone looking for quality food and service local to Holyhead to try the Harboirfront Bistro, you will not be disappointed I promise.

Fantastic atmosphere, food and service in a beautiful setting. A perfect place for our anniversary dinner. The tapas was incredible!

Called in Saturday night while the night wasn’t bad it seemed like everybody around us knew each other and spent the night talking across our table which really put a dampener or our experience

Food was super delicious. Friendly people.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Harbour Front Bistro and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the haddock and chips. The fish was incredibly fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection, while the chips were crispy and delicious. It was a classic dish that truly hit the spot. In addition to the haddock and chips, we decided to explore their tapas offerings. The ribs were a true standout, with tender meat that practically melted in our mouths. The salt and pepper squid was a delightful surprise, with a perfectly crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful center. And the salmon fish cakes were a delectable treat, bursting with flavor and complemented by a crispy outer layer. But what truly set the Harbour Front Bistro apart was its stunning sea view and ambiance. The restaurant is situated right on the waterfront, allowing us to enjoy our meal while taking in breathtaking views of the sea. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Not only was the food exceptional and the setting breathtaking, but the service at the Harbour Front Bistro was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my visit to the Harbour Front Bistro exceeded all expectations. The haddock and chips were divine, and the tapas selection, including the ribs, salt and pepper squid, and salmon fish cakes, were all absolutely delicious. The sea view and ambiance added an extra touch of magic to the experience. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers incredible seafood, a wonderful tapas menu, and an amazing sea view, the Harbour Front Bistro is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough.

Our first visit but won't be the last. Extensive menu with small plates if you want to share. Served quickly even though it was very busy. Good atmosphere and plenty of staff.

Lovely secluded restaurant on the Harbour. A little gem. Definitely recommend. A++++

A fabulous restaurant in a great location. The friendly welcoming atmosphere and helpful and friendly staff accompanied with the excellent food means that we will be eating here again when we return to Holyhead. A fantastic experience all round. A big applause to the friendly owner and all his staff 👏👏👏

Love the pasta and their tapas style appetizers. Great view from their patio area.

Whilst visiting Holyhead we had a very nice meal with a great view and lovely staff. What more could you ask for ?

We had a fantastic evening in this beautiful bistro. The food was exceptional, and the staff were attentive and friendly. Could not fault the night.

Friendly atmosphere,staff close by if needed.Nice view no matter where you were seated.We had the sea bass.Will definitely have that again,or maybe the dressed crab.

Lovely Bistro, good varity of food .portions good , friendly staff happy to help & advise. Very busy recomend booking well in advance popular place, hence booking in advance. Nice wine.

Great meal ..but the steps really need sorting as the second to the top is not the same height ..as my sister fell up them and was told she was the 4th one to do it while she was sat there ..but everything else was brilliant

Fantastic little restaurant with gorgeous views. The food and drinks were great with no corners cut. Less than £30 for 5-star lunch for 2. Really enjoyed it but book in advance as dozens of people were turned away while we were there

Best Moules Marniere I've had in a long time, so lucky to get in. Overlooking the lovely beach and harbour at Holyhead, the views are as great as the food

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and stunning views over the harbour

Amazing location, view and seating. Food to match

Deliciosa comida y servicio excelente al lado de una bonita playa.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend, especially when the sun's out, could have been anywhere in the world.
