Tides Bistro in Conwy

We went for breakfast with our young granddaughter and received a very warm welcome as always. Our breakfast arrived quickly, which is great when you have a little one with you. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Tides is a great place to relax and people watch, a lot of the tables outside are under cover, so although going into winter, still so nice to be outdoors. A great little restaurant.

Great food and friendly and efficient staff. Lovely facilities. Jason or was it Jayden! was very pleasant . The outdoor sitting area was clean and nicely furnished

Always an amazing dining experience, no matter which staff - today served with a smile by Jayden & Crew! The food was spot-on—fresh, flavorful, and just delicious. Service was super friendly as always. The atmosphere is cozy welcoming, and laid back, be it outside or in-building. Everything was clean and tidy, which is always appreciated. Great value for money with portions that never disappoint. Loved the menu options - there is something for everyone! The presentation is with care and effort, and we barely had to wait. Lucky to have found this hidden gem!!

Tides cafe bistro is exceptional. The location is breathtaking. The quality and selection of food is first class The staff are professional, friendly and helpful. (Tegan served me and she was an absolute delight) Get down there and try it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Becky the owner leads by example. Thank you very much 😊

We've used Tides for over 10 years, having a caravan on the nearby site. Sometimes it's been shut down, sometimes open and brilliant, open and very average, yesterday was just very poor. 4 of us fancied breakfast out as a bit of a treat on the last weekend of the season. I telephoned at 11am to enquire when do they serve breakfast until? The young lady said " normally 11.30 but today 12" Great, we quickly donned our coats and walked down there. We walked through the door at 11.22 and sat at a table inside. No greetings of "Morning" from any of the staff, but pleasantries aren't for everyone. There were no menus on the table but looking around breakfasts were landing on adjacent tables and very nice they looked too, we were excited. We asked the waitress for some menus and she just pointed and said "they're over there" !!! Before we had time to get up she said "we've stopped breakfast now, we're on the lunchtime menu now" !!! We looked at the menu on the table, sausages and mash ! 5 bean chilli ! Fish fingers! For breakfast !!! We explained that we were told 12 oclock finish but she was adamant that breakfast is over and we're on lunchtime now. Not having the stomach for Chilli or fish fingers at 11.30 on a Sunday morning we put our coats back on and left, headed just down the coast to Castle View cafe where we enjoyed a huge full breakfast for £7.50 !! We got the impression that Tides has recently changed hands, again, due to the new menu and us not recognizing any of the staff. For that reason, I've cut them a bit of slack and given 2 stars and not 1, can't comment on the food as we didn't get any but their front of house skills need badly improving. I wish them well, we will be back.........maybe.

Iam local and walked from Abergele to Tides cafe with my dog! It was a warm day and was looking forward for a sit down and a nice cold drink! There was no where to sit lots of elderly sitting around with empty cups on the tables! Not enough seats! So went to counter just to order a can of Diet Coke! She asked are you sitting down or take away? I said take away please there’s nowhere to sit! £2.95 for one can!!!!! I said I only want one!!!! How much out have been to sit at a table!!!!! That’s way over priced 😡

we have been coming here for about 3 years and it never disappoints food cooked fresh by lovely staff great setting just off sea front lovely to sit outside when weather's nice yummy cakes too great menu

Popped in for a snack for 4 people 2pm (closed at 4) -we are only serving breakfast bloomers -do you have glutton free cake -let me check-no Ask out server for our extenvie wine list (quote from menu) -what wine do you have -erm pinot -rose? -yes - no red? -no Rose arrived and was white Zinfandel - I asked for Pinot rose -we don’t have any -oh -erm and the Perroni u asked we have zero alcohol is that ok? -no The toilets had no toilet roll and the poor waitresses had no supervision to serve a busy restaurant with no supplies I wouldn’t go again

Dropped in with my husband last week for a coffee on our way to Conwy. Ended up looking at the menu and ordered a coffee and Welsh rarebit.... It was delicious. Plenty of it and had a really fresh salad on the side (with very nice dressing..) Had a portion of chips too... Cant remember what my Husband had as I was too busy enjoying mine... Lovely clean place with efficient friendly service. Have the Welsh rarebit... go on!

Visited Tides today with my sister for some lunch and, as always greeted by very friendly staff who make you feel so welcome and create a lovely, warm atmosphere. We took the menus from the counter and had a peruse while our drinks arrived. Matt was cheffing at the time. I ordered the vegetarian burger which was served on a brioche bun and was lovely and fresh. It came with a beautiful fresh bistro salad with a delicious balsamic glaze and a generous portion of thick, crispy chips. My sister had the crispy chicken with a bbq sauce and salad and chips. She said it was delicious also. Great portion sizes and very reasonable prices and, on Tuesdays there is a special on of soup and a sandwich for £7-25, which is a bargain and the homemade Italian tomato soup looked vibrant and tasty. Can never fault Tides for its seamless service, fresh tasting food, cleanliness and a lovely atmosphere. Many thanks. See you again soon. Ken

Lovely staff, we had one large and one small breakfast, both were lovely, the coffee was great as well. Nice building, we will certainly be back.

Great location, easy to find. Breakfast was lovely tasting and the food was hot. Had a pot of tea which is free when ordering a breakfast and you can have free top ups. Coffe was good too. The service was excellent too. Overall very happy with our experience. Would definitely go back.

My friend and I usually call here once a week for coffee in mid-walk but this morning and last week we were extremely disappointed that the coffee was so weak and almost tasteless so maybe giving it a miss for a while. Get a stronger cup at MacDonalds for £1.95. A shame really because it is a nice place to stop and the staff are always very pleasant.

Just called in for breakfast this morning and we have to say we were very impressed.We know the place is under new management and you can see all the improvements that have been made. The interior has been spruced up and its very nice. The food was lovely,the staff were very friendly and helpful and would recommend to anyone to give it a try.

Food, location and service were first class. Very friendly atmosphere and clean, well maintained premises. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you.

Was walking past on our walk up the beach and popped in for a drink and a snack. Lovely clean place and amazing staff. Will definitely be back soon

Arrived for lunch with my cousin as she hadn’t eaten here before and I’m glad I had booked the table as it was very busy and only one table left. Greeted with a very warm welcome from Lucy and Sophie and shown to our table by Lucy. We both decided to have the vegetarian burger with some delicious olives. We didn’t have to wait long for our food and quickly got tucked in. The chips were delicious, crisp and fluffy and lots of salt of course. The burgers were so tasty, not like any other veggie burgers I’d had, nice and moist and served in a lovely fresh brioche bun. A nice bit of fresh salad inside (no soggy leaves here) and a very tasty mayonnaise. Needless to say we cleared our plates. What I love about Tides is the consistency of the food, always fresh and beautifully presented and full of flavour. Also the staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is always a nice atmosphere and you never feel rushed even when it’s busy. One of my favourites. Thank you to all the team. Ken

We chanced on Tides on the first night of our holiday. Stuck our heads in the door as it was getting late but welcomed immediately and said they absolutely could serve us dinner. Oh my! What an amazing surprise - incredible tapas. Food was really quick, piping hot and full of flavour. The garlic bread is literally the best I have had. We quickly decided to book again for our last night after a chat with the owner. Turned up a week later and the friendly waitress remembered us. Between the two dinners we tried pretty much the whole menu. The garlic mushrooms are superb. I think for the quality of the food and the location/environment it is incredibly reasonably priced for a special meal. Such friendly owners (recently taken over). It was so good I could be tempted to book another break nearby just to eat there! Highly recommended.

We’ve been here on several occasions. Consistently delicious breakfast, as well as other food we’ve had here in the past months. Lovely and friendly service by the staff. Nice chat with Luke. Keep up the good work!

We came here twice, one for lunch and again on a Friday evening. Lunch was lovely, great toastie and chips. Service was great, very friendly staff. We came for tapas on the Friday evening and have to say it was amazing. I’m fact some of the best tapas we had ever eaten! The service was absolutely out of this world, the guy serving us was professional and polite, felt like we were at a 5 star restaurant.

Just called in for a snack, but ended up with 2 lunches. Scampi and chips, plus Chicken Chilli salad. Excellent presentation and both were very tasty.

As ever the food and service was excellent. I rang ahead as going to be slightly late but reassured this wasn’t a problem. We were served quickly and the array of amazing food came in no time. All dishes were amazing and freshly cooked but special thanks to Jacob for the most amazing garlic mushrooms! Didn’t think they could get better from my previous visits however they certainly did not disappoint. Best garlic bread too! Will be back hopefully next week 🥳

Went with family for Sunday brunch - excellent service and attention from staff from the minute we walked in… the menu had great choices and all 4 of us were really pleased with our different choice and the quality of the meal….. decor is great and lots of outside seating… thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be going back to try the other menus and speciality nights 👍👌

The customer service is amazing would highly recommend the ice cream had a great time but bit pricey

Had a lovely lunch sitting outside with a view of the sea. Staff were very friendly but professional, food excellent and reasonably priced. They seem to be getting plenty of five star ratings since the change of ownership and much deserved. Waited about 30 minutes for our freshly cooked meal but we had a nice coffee whilst waiting and they told me about the wait before I ordered. Even our dog was given a biscuit! Many thanks to all.

Arrived on a Friday evening for Tapas and was greeted by James. Our waiter for the evening. He was very welcoming, friendly and the service he provided during our visit was amazing. Also Becky, the chef/manager came out to greet us and wish us a...

Brilliant service and food. Staff were all accommodating, friendly also attentive. The menu has lots of options along with a specials menu! The new managers have turned this place around since my last visit. I will definitely be returning, thank you Tides!

Perfectly pleasant surroundings Perfectly polite staff Perfectly prepared food PERFECT. We will return with friends next time.

I had a really lovely visit to Tides today for lunch with my family, so much so that it compelled me to write my first ever TripAdvisor review! This was our first visit since the new management. There is a wide selection of food on...

First time since the revamp and how fantastic! Me and my godson dropped in for an evening meal and were not disappointed. Great service, quality food, decent prices and lovely atmosphere. The crispy chicken and loaded fries were absolutely excellent. Look forward to eating with...

What an amazing difference - we last visited in 2020 an vowed never to return after the poor quality overpriced food coupled with the filthy washroom. After succumbing to many recommendations we decided to give the place a second chance. We learnt that there was...

Tides was recommended to me by lots of people as I serve ice cream (The Ice Cream Dream) on the car park. When I was leaving on Saturday afternoon I managed to book a table for me and my friends later that evening. It did...

I have visited this lovely bistro a few times recently and each time found the food delicious, staff friendly and attentive, the place spotlessly clean and has a great atmosphere. The location is brilliant too, so close to the beach with easy parking! Definitely one...

First visit here,ordered hot chocolate and a slice of cake,very nice competitive price one problem we were not asked if we would like cream on our chocolate, should be a choice.

Great location, good food well presented, good service, well priced. Spotlessly clean. Go there, it’s well worth a visit.

Food and the service was excellent Accommodated to all our dietary needs Will definitely be back soon!

I popped in today after a walk with the dogs for a brew. It was very busy but the staff ensured to tell us about the wait and were apologetic with a smile on their face! Great atmosphere and a perfect sun spot with an...

Tides Llanddulas has reopened and I highly recommend paying it a visit. The venue is lovely, the food is tasty, great coffee and the staff are polite and friendly.

The cafe has literally just opened under new management after being refurbished. We’ve used this place many times in the past and always enjoyed it though they struggled last year to get staff hence the bad service so we were pleased to see it had...

It is with sadness that I write this review as Tides used to be a thriving, happy place to visit Although it still serves great coffee and is still a beautifully tranquil spot, it seems that the staff are not. Please don't read me wrongly,...

The coastal footpath between Pensarn and Llanddulas is a lovely area for walkers/cyclists and Tides Bistro with its lovely external seating area is ideally situated to take advantage of any passing trade. Sadly however on many occasions the outlet fails to deliver and I suspect...

Like a few others on this site I have been very disappointed recently with service and attitude. Great news- revised staffing and, presumably training, has made a palpable difference. It felt like TIDES of old , friendly and attentive. My own suggestion is to utilise...

We were greeted warmly and shown to a table on the terrace, where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast sitting in the sunshine in the company of a robin. The coffee was served with a biscuit which we shared with him/her

Would have liked to leave a good review as we are local and out for a walk. Friendly enough while showing us to a table but then ignored for 15 minutes, staff seemed busy doing not a lot for a place less than half full....

All tables dirty and even though seated by staff as requested at enterance then ‘forgotten about’ whilst staff had chat inside shall not return or tell others to go

We had visited her a few times a couple of years ago and remembered it being really good but it has changed quite a bit. It's an OK menu, slightly small but quite cheese heavy. It took them quite a while to take our order...

Very busy day and heard kitchen staff swearing loudly in the kitchen, F this and F that, kids around , really unprofessional. Orders wrong, waitress stressed, no clear management, food basic. Disappointed as usually very good, won’t be returning.

Have been many times prior to COVID and always thoroughly enjoyed but this is not one of those occasions. Family of 4 but all classes as adults. Unfortunately there was no bun for the man burger "special" so was offered a bagel instead. Not too...

Went today Saturday 26th March approx 11.45am. Waitress was panicking saying she'd been told to put the sign up that they couldn't take any more orders and to try again in 40 mins but she couldn't promise anything. I could see that a table was...

Another grand visit to Tides this morning. No matter if it's raining or shining, the staff are just as friendly and welcoming as ever. A lovely breakfast of farm mushrooms and scrambled eggs, with excellent coffee, in a clean and beautiful tranquil environment. It's grand...

We have been regular customers of tides over the years. Came for breakfast this morning and it was so disappointing to say the least! I ordered a tea cake and it arrived stale so I sent it back for toast instead. Husband ordered poach eggs...

Go here regular with the family and again today even with the restrictions great service and friendly staff. Over the last few weeks with how busy it gets noticed a massive improvement in service and waiting times would highly recommend

Being local residents we have been loyal to Tides over many years, it is in a beautiful setting on our daily walk and some of the staff are totally fabulous! It is such a shame to say that yesterday our loyalty finally ran out after...

Just back home from another delicious breakfast at this lovely, tranquil cafe bistro. Scrambled eggs and mushrooms on brown toast with excellent coffee, who could ask for more to start the day... All of the staff welcomed us warmly and nothing was too much trouble...

Booked a table for six. Arrived and were shown a table for four and told “find some more chairs” there was no room for more chairs. We left… why take a booking if you don’t have a table.

We are local and have supported this cafe for a number of years and we were regular when they were allowed to open during covid. It used to be a great cafe with good food and friendly service. In the last couple of months it...

Went today what a dreadful experience it used to be so nice but not now my partner asked for a bacon and sausage sandwich the staff said she can’t have one. Minutes later came back and said she can have one this time but never...

Came here about 3 years ago and from memory,it was friendly and food ok. Walked down the coastal path to go today and honestly wish we hadn't. Food was pretty poor and service dreadful. Paid in cash and never got any change. It wasn't much...

Atmosphere : the waitresses have eyes cast down, And there's 1 rude cook shouting orders at them in an unprofessional manner, theres no smiles or happy greetings. Table: We were given dirty glasses, and dirty salt & pepper pots, 1 looked like it had blood...

Custom service was terrible asking for things 3 time. To get the staff shouting about me inside to each other. Food not cooked. After ringing management to complain and being told they agree with me. They are sorry for my experience. This is just not...

Lovely area. Terrible service. 🤬 Went to have a nice coffee with parents and due to government guidance the board outside said 'Please wait for a member of staff to seat you'. We were in clear sight of all members of staff inside and out...

Been here a number of times over the years for coffee. Each time I have thought the sitting area is lovely but coffee substandard. Having visited again this morning again the coffee was again poor. If you had experienced it 10-20 years ago, you would...

I had such a warm welcome by the staff in particular a young lady at the entrance with a very friendly manner. My order was taken and delivered to me in a lovely timely manner even though they were busy. I can’t recommend this little...

Tides is perfect as a refreshment stop while braving the cycle path in this weather. Great service as ever. Thanks all!

A lovely café with friendly staff and a great location. The perfect place for a refreshment stop on our cycle rides or just to pop in for a weekend treat.
