The Midland Tapas & Wine Bar in Conwy

I wish I had read the reviews before visiting - we could have avoided an expensive mistake. Poor food, brought out at random times (one arriving well after we had finished everything else and only after several reminders). Food was lukewarm and bore little resemblance to description in the menu, the ox cheek was particularly bad. We would have complained whilst there, but the chefs were too busy swearing and shouting to get their attention, and I did not feel it was fair to complain to waiting on staff who were working hard. With so many nice places to eat locally, we would not return here.

This is our 3rd visit since it opened and has gone down hill sadly, went on a Saturday night was empty so sad to see but once our food arrived we knew why The paella just tasted of curry powered and we sent the prawns back as where still grey. The worse part was the temperature we all sat with jackets and scarfs. But to end on a positive we was served by lovely staff good wine coffee ( too keep warm ) excellent porn stars I do think the owns need to look into this place as it’s a shame was fabulous when 1st opened

We visited on a Friday lunchtime and tapas is our favourite food and this tapas was absolutely delicious. Great portion sizes and a great menu. The waiter was very friendly. I will definitely recommend and return.

Paella was awful other dishes we had were edible but that is all that can be said. Porn star martini was very good and wine was ok. Food came out in dribs and drabs some dishes went to the wrong table For what you got the food was extortionate prices. I seriously don’t know how this place is still going. I will never go again!

Visited as a group of 5 work colleagues. Plenty of food to choose from off the menu. Friendly service by the French front of house man. We tried various items off the menu and it all arrived hot and tasty. Good service. No complaints. Nice, modern and clean toilets.

Paella was dry, sent it back, returned with a dish of chorizo with a tiny portion of chicken don't go

Like the title states … AVOID! Unless you like dry, beige, bland overpriced food of course! After a lovely day exploring Conwy we were like ravenous animals .. absolutely starving! So after a bit of research, we came across this establishment and booked ourselves a table … bad move! We ordered five dishes in total, and the best thing I can say about them was … it was some form of food. The Mac and cheese was bone dry, I’m sure it had a sauce at some point but by the time we received it it was crumbling… like it had been left for a few days. Do not order the straw fries… whatever size you have in your mind a straw fry is… believe me it’s not… maybe they should name them a grass fry.. and that’s pushing it. Now the price was the most shocking of the whole experience .. we are still shaking and reeling as I type! We are now heading to Aldi to sort ourselves out as we are still ravenous animals! P.s absolutely lovely waitress

We ate here twice during our weeks stay in Conwy. The first time food was good, the meals came out a couple at a time but we didn’t mind that. I did order a glass of wine and 20 mins later when it had not arrived I told the waiter who was apologetic, went to fetch the wine straight away and didn’t charge me for it. The second visit wasn’t so good. When our dishes came out one was wrong and the one I did order never came out. When we checked on the missing dish we were told the wrong dish that came out was what I got instead of that one, I asked if they could make me the original dish (chicken tenders) and was told no the wait would be too long. Instead they asked me to pick something that was quick like olives or humous. Not ideal when the tenders were mostly my main dish. I explained I was gluten free so couldn’t have certain dishes which then I was offered the paella as I was told it could be whipped up in minutes. I had the paella a few nights before and wasn’t that impressed but agreed to have it so that I didn’t go hungry. No one comes to check on you during your meal to see if anything is missing/ok or to see if you would like anymore drinks. It is quite expensive at between £7 and £10 per dish. The waiter kindly didn’t charge me for the paella or the dishes that were wrong, however I had not had the meal I wanted. Even with the free dishes our bill still came to over £85. We only had two alcoholic drinks and two fruit juices for the children

Liked Variety of food choice although it could have more healthy options/vegetables. Service was excellent we overtipped! Great ambience Central Food was lovely Would recommend Disliked Lack of beer options Not much chicken in the chicken and chorizo paella

I am a local and live in Conwy, and still have heard mixed reviews. I have been once before but this service from last night has sealed the deal to never go again. We had a table booked for 7.30 for 5 of us. We arrived at twenty past, and were lead to our table. Firstly no cutlery or drink menus. We had to ask for our food and drinks to be ordered after another 20 minutes. (A table next to us had come in after us and already had their order taken). We then had to ask for cutlery when our food came out. Then our food came out all at different times, with huge gaps in between. Service was appalling - not once did anyone give us any eye contact or see if we wanted any more drunks etc. However there was a young boy working there who did his best to help us when we finally managed to get his attention. We finally finished our meal, and we were still waiting for 2 dishes that hadn't yet come. We asked for the bill and then had to ask for these to be removed. There was 5 of us so we had 10 dishes bought out, not once was our table cleared although we did our best to stack as neatly as possible - in the end there was hardly any room. As a local, I won't be coming again and feel like the people who were just drinking at the bar got more attention. After spending over £150 between us we expected a much better experience than we received. It is Bank Holiday weekend so don't know if they were understaffed or just completely unorganised. Definitely wouldn't recommend and we won't be coming back. Disappointed

Food was nice but service very slow. We waited about 10 minutes at the door to be seated even though we had a reservation. Waited 45 minutes from arriving to finally getting our drinks. Food came out a bit at a time with 2 dishes not arriving until we had finished everything else. Such a shame as this would deter me from recommending or visiting again. More staff needed to make sure people are offered better service as meals are quite pricey

Lovely food and the patatas bravas was the best one I've had in a long long time. We ordered 10 tapas dishes, and only one disappointed, the chicken wings , as they were a little dry. The pork belly was delicious, as was the calamari. Only issues that shaved marks off were the fact they didn't sell wine by the glass, which being a tapas restaurant, you would expect; and we had a rather noisy group sat next to us. Overall, I would go back for the food

This is such a weird place. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The menu sounds amazing, but hype is the best thing about this restaurant. Service is rubbish, not sure if they’re not trained, have insufficient capacity or just incapable. Food comes sporadically. For example it would be much better if nachos came first, not last. Our meals came out over a 40 min period. During this time our table was never cleared and we were never offered any drinks. We just sat surrounded by a lot of bowls plates and empty bottles. Food was not bad but not brilliant, and the time it took, and the order it came out, was odd. I cleared and cleaned our table by moving things onto a nearby table. We took our kids and to be fair, they really enjoyed the churros and waffles as dessert. That’s why I’m giving this place a couple of stars.

Well. What a time at The Midlands Street Cafe. Before I start this review, it would only be fair to give a grand shout out to possibly the worlds worst waitress, who would probably make a better living working at a Karen’s diner. When asked if one of the dishes contained nuts (one of the party had a peanut allergy) she responded with a sulky “I don’t know”. When we pleaded with her to check, she looked absolutely dumb founded. We had to ask a second time for confirmation on which nuts it contained. We would have probably received better service at faulty towers. Once we had got through the most piss poor salad that featured salad leaves swimming in mayonnaise and regret, and a pot of hummus (with no bread) that luckily didn’t send my friend to a and e due to a severe (but not that important) nut allergy, the gwoat (greatest waitress of all time) finally brought us our drinks. We especially enjoyed paying for the meal, after begging the gwoat to finally come over. She brought the bill (£27.00 for the smallest morsels of food which would most likely leave a mouse starving) and put the card reader in front of us without saying a word. It was like trying to make contact with your teenage daughter at the dinner table. The evening wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the spar on your way home, as you will probably need a meal deal to fill the empty feeling in your stomach and soul. (We had a really nice chicken sandwich may I add, only cost £3) If you love being ripped off, nearly killed by allergies and fantastic customer service, don’t hesitate have your good money stolen at The Midland StreetCafe.

Thought this Tapas bar and restaurant was very good. I had the three for £18 … with the peppers, straw fries and the fish cake… I thought it was excellent … particularly liked the straw fries. The service was excellent … there were nine of us, with some very hard to please people amongst us :-) … they started us with free bread which was very gratefully received… the service was excellent … it would have been five stars if it was a little cheaper… that said everything is expensive these days … thank you for a lovely experience

Came with friends for a birthday. Service was lovely!! However, Bad food. Overpriced. £10 for a glass of wine.

Friendly service, good choice of food, very efficient. Served by Georgia who was charming and very helpful.

Food and service indifferent. Chicken & Chorizo paella contained one tiny piece of chicken and lots of chorizo. Staff seemed more interested in their phones than our satisfaction.

I’ll start by saying the first time we ate here it was one of the best meals we have ever had and have spoken about it for over 8 months and we were desperate to return. This time was one of the poorest meals we...

The Midland was a cafe we haven't tried before in Conwy, so we gave it a go for the first time this year. We were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The menu is comprised of several small tapas style dishes, and while it seems expensive...

Food was nice but value for money was not good, basically over priced for size of portion. Frequently visited these outlets and won’t be visiting again.

Visited the midland when in conwy for a couple of nights m. The menu looked interesting and loved the idea of the different types of tapas styles however the prices were expensive for tbe portion sizes . The bill for 2 people came to much...

Wonderful staff, great atmosphere, spectacular food. Tapas into overdrive. When you’re in town, definitely pay a visit.

Nice looking restaurant, music and atmosphere. Service was friendly, but sadly the quality of the food for the price didn’t balance. It wasn’t bad food, but the price prices far exceeded the quality. Had far better tapas elsewhere for a lot less money and will...

the young blond bartender gave me and my partner excellent service and was very friendly the food was also excellent and got cooked fast and was delicious one of the best restaurants in conwy

Tasty food amazing service friendly helpful staff no faults other than prices but in the end food was worth it highly recommend

Food was cooked to perfection by the two young lads in the kitchen service was brilliant and fast would highly recommend

Love this place! We chose a selection of tapas and every bite was scrumptious! We have been a few times before and enjoyed it just as much. Great friendly service too. See you next time 👍

Came here the other day. Service was not great. Food was ok, but the ribs had barely any meat on them and over fried. We tried to order a few more plates and desert, only to be told that the kitchen closed at 20:50, found...

Terrible tapas, small frozen food. Overpriced and not tapas style at all.complained and have been ignored. Total bill so high for so bad quality.

Around 7 phone calls not answered, no reply to voicemail or email should have been a warning! Just the two of us and service was OK however sadly the food, whilst generous portions, was bland at best and in part over cooked.

We visited to celebrate with family , greeted immediately with a smile and show to our table. the menu is varied and reasonably priced . Really nice ambience and service was impeccable. We would definitely recommend and will be back ! reminded me of our...

My husband and I had dinner at the Midland Street Cafe when visiting Wales for a weekend away and cannot recommend it highly enough! The food was amazing and Natasha and the rest of the team were wonderful to deal with.

We visited today to have what we hoped would be a relaxing Mother’s Day lunch. It started well - the kitchen were very accommodating with my gluten intolerance when we realised on arrival they were serving a different menu to the one online and I...

Couldn’t fault anything … lovely ambience, friendly and helpful staff, quick service and the food was incredibly delicious. Really creative menu, lots of quasi fusion dishes as well as Spanish staple tapas fare. Tried the little slider burger, tiny morsel of tender steak on a...

What a waste of money food was rubbish, very over priced for what you get and the staff give you very funny looks if you are unsure on a item, then tryed to over charge at the till Will not be going back

Not knowing the area, we spotted a couple of restaurants and tried to book but no availability meant that we needed to find alternative places. With two young children in tow and four adults, we stumbled across this restaurant . First impressions from outside were...

Absolutely Fabulous!! We arrived at last orders and Antoine made us really welcome. Food and drinks served with a smile. Food very tasty. Have been to your Beaumaris restaurant many times so this made a nice change and was also excellent. Keep up the hard...

Good service,food wasnt the best and overpriced,the curry was powdery we spent £200 for 4 ppl and three drinks each.

Possibly the top 3 worst restaurant meals I've ever had to endure. Why? 1. Terrible food. We ordered a massaman curry. The chef, Jamie has clearly never had a massaman curry in his life or even Googled one. He chose to make a Thai curry...

The quality of food has diminished significantly here - everything was clearly out of the freezer. Not much flavour at all - very poor, a disappointing meal with little care and attention to its quality and presentation.

Great place to eat. Delicious, tasty food. Good value and friendly service. Be warned..the portions are big!

We chose 5 dishes between us as a couple they were all amazing, we barely spoke as we were too busy eating. The flavours were fantastic, there was nothing that disappointed. The staff were friendly and knowlegeable. We were stuffed leaving there and we look...

We were staying nearby and decided to have tapas one evening, the staff are very friendly and we ordered a variety of dishes. The food was piping hot and delicious. will visit again when back in the area.

Went in with my wife when visiting Conwy. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived and we form our orders in before it started filling up. Order came in dribs and drabs and 2 came very late when all other food had been consumed....

Absolutely love this restaurant. The menu is now filled with so many exciting and tasty choices it actually quite hard to make up your mind. When you do you’ll be blown away with many different tastes of exotic global cuisines. Fantastic atmosphere and lovely polite...

This company only thrives on the disadvantage of the tourist and visitors in town. Poor staff and rude, poor quality of food. We had to walk out and leave our food. The staff didn't care .

Stopped here for lunch and we were very impressed. Plenty of choice and we probably ate too much as we couldn’t decide which dishes to choose. Food was beautiful and staff were very friendly and attentive. Food arrived fairly quickly we has macaroni cheese, ribs,...

I really can’t understand why the rating is so low! We’ve been coming to The Midland in Conwy since we fell in love with the town and bought a holiday home in 2019! There was a blip around a year ago when the service dropped...

Het eten is heerlijk! Leuke informele sfeer, echt een aanrader! Reserveren noodzakelijk (in ieder geval op zaterdag), je kan altijd...

My grandson and I wanted to be in a quiet, clean, attractive eaterie for a midweek lunch having visited Conwy Castle. The Midland fitted the bill. Service was very pleasant and efficient, the food perfectly acceptable light meals at reasonable cost. My coffee was particularly...

When this restaurant first opened a few years ago, it served amazing quality, authentic Spanish tapas in a well designed and stylish interior. We had not visited the premises for quite some time until recently and clearly the standards have completely diminished to a cheap...

Food was delightful, good vegetarian options. Service was good. Atmosphere lovely. All reasonably priced too.

Not disappointed, we have eaten at The Midland, Beaumaris numerous times on our own and with extended family. And Conwy did not disappoint, fantastic flavours and tastes and portion sizes perfect for the cost.

This is the second time I've eaten at The Midland and they've never disappointed 👌 we ordered the beef brisket, devilled shrimp, potatas bravas and calamari...all of which were very tasty and freshly cooked. The restaurant itself has a chilled, relaxed atmosphere and the staff...

In 30 years of visiting restaurants this has to be the worse EVER - We have never experienced anything this bad. Tasteless and obviously from the freezer section of the cash & carry - Every single dish we ordered, £90 in total was actually inedible...

Dropped in for a bite to eat whilst visiting Conwy to see the castle and were not disappointed. Wasn't sure whilst waiting and reading other recent reviews which said the food was overpriced and flavourless. Our food (beef brisket tacos and bang coq tenders) was...

bland expensive food, waitress hardly said a word to us and looked very miserable. it also needs a good paint. will not return

Table of 10, 6 30 last night for husbands birthday, have eaten at Midland Conwy and Beaumaris many times as live locally. Was told needed to leave the table in 30 minutes (fine as knew that) however not had the table cleared or been offered...

Out with friends and expecting good food and service. Unfortunately wasn’t to be! The paella that I had chicken thigh and chorizo as the main ingredients. Chicken Thigh is well known for being tender but in this paella it was dry, dry, dry. The 10.95...

We came here for food last night for my birthday, to be honest the food was hot, tasty and quick but same can't be said about the service. We were waiting AGES for drinks, when food came out we asked if we could get some...

Verrassende tapas van goede verse kwaliteit. Goede smaak ervaring , prima geprijsd. En goede bediening . Restaurant is schoon en...

The food was average and over priced. Not clear from menu what sized the portions were. Told to order three to four each and was too much.

Having been craving a paella after a trip to Mallorca I found this place online and thought my craving would be satisfied with a visit. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. We visited at lunchtime. Paella was obviously reheated as it was dry as anything and...

Came for lunch with friends. We ordered 5 dishes between 3 and couldn't finish them. Every dish was hot, very tasty and well presented. Service was attentive too. The patatas bravas and the other potato dish were gorgeous, and we loved the hummus and peppers....

I love The Midland! Having only eaten at the Beaumaris restaurant before I was looking forward to trying out the Conwy one. It did not disappoint! All the tapas dishes we had (7 in total) were fantastic, and the cocktails really delicious. The staff were...

The person who sets the prices of the dishes has clearly never met the person who sets the size of the portions. Total rip off

I visited today to celebrate a birthday with my cousin and two friends. My cousin and I had eaten here before. The menu has changed from a more typical Spanish Tapas experience to a worldwide menu. It is apparently in response to demand. Some of...

Looking for somewhere to eat in Conwy, came across this place and it was incredible! Tapas to die for. Amazing flavours. Never tasted such amazing patatas bravas. Even the garlic butter served with the breads was superb! Staff were fantastic too. As were the drinks....

Group of 15 chaps went on Friday 4th March 2022. We paid £25 pp for an eight course tapas dinner .. the food was plentyfull and service was 1st class. High recommend the Midland

Wanted to take my 96 year old grandmother out for lunch today and decided on The G&D. We arrived almost exactly at 12 30 when they started serving. Upon placing orders we were warned they had just changed the oil in the fryer and so...

Well how disappointing . We brought some friends to the Midland for a large birthday celebration and it was a disappointment (understatement of the centaurs). All the food, minus the Pattaya’s Bravas , Paxton peppers and the chorizo were clearly all from the freezer. Sure...

Industrial looking decor. London prices for quite average dishes, presented plainly. 2 taco shells for £9.5 provided leaves, a layer of chorizo meat and a small, whole scallop plopped on the top. The other dishes failed to inspire, but racked up the final bill. The...

We booked for New Years Eve, and having had our booking cancelled the night before for no apparent reason needed to rebook to ensure we could visit, in total I had spoke to 3 staff members before visiting, none of them informed us that there...

Another excellent meal. Recommended. The Midland is helping bring Conwy to life as a foodie centre with several good restaurants and bars. Top drawer. Keep it up.

We are on holiday at Beaumaris - a holiday we do regularly and usually make a visit to the Midland. This time, although the food was good the service was very much lacking. It appears that there is no management of staff, the poor boys...

Pros: Since it wasn’t too busy when we were there, there was plenty of space between diners for social distancing. The staff were friendly. Cons: The food we had was ok, but it wasn’t Spanish. There were things like a dish called “croquetas” (which is...

First time here and really enjoyed it on all fronts. All the plates were lovely and finished off by one of the nicest late coffees we've ever had. Highly recommended

After deciding to eat out in Conwy we called several restaurants and all were fully booked, we came across the Midland tapas whilst looking for a watering hole! We called in on the off chance of a table but unfortunately they were fully booked also....

Conwy has so many amazing places to eat, and the Midland is one of the best. Eaten here many times and each time it’s amazing. Went there again this evening and again it was spot on. Delicious food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. 5/5

Stumbled upon it on holiday and had a wonderful experience, some of the best food we’ve had in ages. They’ve clearly been hit by staffing shortages that the hospitality sector currently and the staff were all working so hard, even the manager and owner were...

This is a tapas place but some of the dishes are a bit larger, we had 3 dishes each and were stuffed on the first night. They had 2 craft beers on draft which were both nice. I had paella, mussels and fish croquettes,my husband...

Went there today ,loads of tables available ,nit even 50 per cent full ,turned away ,too many bookings 🤣 Tried to book sunday shut for kitchen problems , no business sence what so ever ,unbelievable.

Historic. Top drawer. What else can I say? Tapas, but multiple ethnicities. Chinese pork was amazing, Iranian chicken stunning,excellent Spanish paella , cheese. What’s not to like ? If this were in London, you’d never get in.

Went with friends, had a lovely time. Nice atmosphere, delicious food and the poretti beer was great. We tired many of the dishes and all were fabulous. Will definitely be going back.

I am totally bewildered by the negative reviews .I had hot ,fresh great tapas brought out quickly .A nice atmosphere and staff couldnt have been more professional. I am just guessing that some people dont understand the concept of tapas or have very limited and...

Excellent food and excellent service. The food was beautiful both in taste and presentation, waiting on staff were a credit and worked efficiently despite how busy the restaurant was. The establishment itself is clean and has a bustling ambiance which creates a bistro vibe. We...

I’ve been three times to this chain. Twice to the one in Beaumaris and once to the one in Conwy. Both times a few years ago, I’ve been ill the night of the meal. I hoped for better at the Conwy location but nope! Even...

First came across this restaurant in July 2021, had a fantastic meal. As we were coming back in August with a friend, we decided to take her to this restaurant. We had raved about the fresh bread and olive oil, the seafood and how helpful...

We booked here after walking passed & liking the look of the menu. We were not disappointed at all the food was really tasty & there was plenty of it to say it was Tapas. We had to chase up a couple of dishes but...

One of the worst restaurants that I have visited. The chicken strips were bone dry and rock hard. The menu has potential it just wasn’t executed correctly. We sent 50% of our meals back. The manager was good enough however to knock these items off...

We ate on a Wednesday lunchtime, and the restaurant was not busy. The menu was a touch confusing as one of the options marked vegan had feta in the description (the server explained that they just don't put the feta on if you want it...

Awful food, came out cold and tasteless. Staff were so rude they had no mannerism whatsoever or care of how there customers were. Overpriced, limited menu. Gone extremely downhill and will not be returning again.

First time we have been to the Midland and didn’t know that it was part of a group of restaurants, which began in Anglesey. We had a great table at the front of the place, and had to book a little later than we wanted...

Searching for somewhere decent to eat that wasn’t burger , pizza etc we found The Midland , good reviews and lots of veggie options for my partner.....typical Tapas menu so if that is not your thing , probably not for you but are a few...

Poor food and poor service from start to finish. Will not be returning, very over priced and bad attitude from the staff

Great food / great service/ excellent menu/ great location/ nice layout/ couldn’t ask for more. Great prices

Found this because so many other places were too busy. And thank goodness! It was excellent. We ordered Midland Burgers (“the best burger I’ve ever had” said my 15 year old daughter), Chicken burger which was tasty tasty tasty, king prawns (very nice) and Bang...

Disappointing. Came here 2 years ago & food was excellent, seemed very authentic tapas. What a change! Calamari served was broken pieces with only full ring - looked like bottom of the bag. Straw fries swimming in grease - the eggs hadn’t been drained properly....

So we visted here tonight whilst on our visit to conwy. Lets just say the food was terrible, tasted like it has just been warmed up in the microwave with a nice side salad to make it look fresh. The mix sharma was definitley under...
