Y Bwtri Blasus in Gwynedd

Staying in Aberdovey for a few days make room for Coast Deli and Dining. Well cooked and everything you want to get the day started. No silly little separate bean bowls etc.

Our group visited here on a "tapas" night (Wed) & enjoyed a variety of seafood, meat and vegetable-based dishes ranging from around £7 to £14 each. Pizzas are also available, including a seafood one which received high praise from one of our party. I particularly enjoyed the beef and blue cheese dish, although the meatballs were a bit meh and the supposed pan-fried duck disappointingly turned out to be cold sliced roast duck instead. The side orders of fries came dressed in a very strong mix of what tasted like coriander and paprika which didn't receive great reviews from our group, I'm afraid. Our bottle of average Merlot cost us £24 and the total bill for 4 guests came to nearly £150 without any additional drinks, so not the kind of place most people could afford to eat out at on a regular basis, methinks.

Whilst staying in Aberdyfi we ate at the Coast Deli on two evenings, sampling the tapas menu on a Tuesday night and enjoying the Bistro menu on a Saturday night. The food was excellent and the service friendly and attentive in spite of the restaurant being a little small with only about eight tables in total depending on configuration. I'd recommend this as probably the best restuarant in Aberdyfi, although the Harbour Kitchen at the Brittania is trying hard and the food there was top notch as well.

If you love seafood this restaurant is an absolute must. Scallops with crab and a plate of whitebait were our delicious starters. However the bouillabaise sharing platter was to die for. Service was super with friendly and efficient staff. We suggest you book beforehand as this restaurant is extremely popular. Can't wait to go again.

One of the nicest Tapas we have ever had , including Spain . Varied menu , generous portions, absolutely delicious, with excellent service and very friendly. Wonderful experience,

Stayed in Aberdovey for a week and went here 5 mornings for breakfast and 5 evenings for dinner. Food on all occasions was excellent and the staff were brilliant. My husband thought the mussels were the best he has ever had and I had the steak 2 evenings and it was amazing. Can't recommend this place enough.

I booked a table online for 2 for supper on Saturday 3rd August. As the holiday was a last minute booking so was our table booking. I think we were VERY lucky to get in as quite a few people turned up without bookings while we were there and had to be turned away. We were very warmly welcomed by the owner/manager. We had some great garlic bread to nibble on, absolutely dripping with lovely garlicky butter, then we had seared scallops on a bed of chilli crab, and fried whitebait to start - both delicious; followed by catch of the day (plaice), on some of the best smashed potatoes my husband has ever had - he reckons it just might once again have had something to do with the amount of butter used - but ignoring the sound of his left ventricle slamming shut at this point (if you can't do it on holiday, when can you??) he thoroughly enjoyed tucking in, while I did the same with my moules frites - in a divine leek, cream, wine and garlic sauce and bread to mop it up. We washed it all down with a chilled bottle of portuguese white wine. Service - faultless, food - all delicious, every single bite; atmosphere - cozy and buzzing. We had a really enjoyable evening, and it was certainly the best supper we've had eating out in a long while. A very happy memory of a lovely weekend. THANK YOU team 'Coast'!!!

My 6 year old son wished to try his first taste of crab from Coast, however we were told that it was usually dine in only. The waiter however was super accommodating and really kindly allowed us to order a take away portion, and it went down a treat. A big thanks to the staff for being so helpful and understanding with my son, we'll come dine in for our next visit.

Great little deli near the beach. We all had pizzas but the other food we saw being served looked good too. Not cheap snacky lunch - more than £70 for 4 pizzas and soft drinks - but well made and tasty.

Well we came here for coffee & cake , loved the feel so booked for Tapas, lovely choices Service was good, really casual & dog friendly. We booked for our last night sadly had to cancel due to work commitments You will not be disappointed Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 vodka & gin well worth a try If I’m in the area I will return 👍🏽 Thanks for a great evening

High quality foods in the cooked breakfasts The only really disappointing thing was that there were no cockles, despite being advertised as part of the breakfast. As no explanation was given to why the cockles were missing, I had to ask. The answer was that none were in stock Little things like this are the difference between a great breakfast and a truly outstanding one.

A lovely little place to eat, the food was great, I ordered fish finger sandwich & to my surprise ( a good one ) the fish inside & was chunky little fish rather than fish fingers which I loved! & it was on I think Italian flat bread.. I will be doing this at home! & my partner had a ploughman's sandwich also packed with filling. A lovely little place to eat, small and intimate. Also love the fact it is dog friendly. Thanks for the food, we will be back next time on our visit.

Having spent the afternoon walking on our favourite beach at Borth, my wife and I decided to return home via Aberdovey and look for somewhere to get an early evening meal in the process. Having looked at Tripadvisor reviews for eateries in Aberdovey we opted for Coast and as they had just opened, we were their first guests of the evening. Without beating about the bush, the tapas were simply amazing !! From their extensive selection of tapas, we opted for 'fish of the day', chorizo in honey and rioja, confit duck leg and pigs cheek. All were hot, well presented and tasted excellent; I can't say more !! For reference, as sharing dishes, the 4 dishes (plus bread) were just enough for 2 hungry souls (I'm glad we didn't order more). However, I'm glad I left space for a desert. We shared a creme brulee which again, was excellent (I could quite easily have eaten 2 !!). Service was great .... but then we were the only ones in at the time ! I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Aberdovey and will definitely be coming again when we're in the area. As an aside, a couple of years ago, my wife and I stayed and ate at the nearby Ynyshir restaurant, a 2 Michelin star venue. To put our experience at Coast into perspective, when we were leaving Coast, my wife said 'you know, I enjoyed that meal more than the one we had at Ynyshir'.

The food really shines as does the service. The restaurant is very compact with not many tables, so make sure book because the food is fantastic! We had Moules frites for a main, with olives and bread and oil to start, while our friends had 2 different styles of lamb. All incredible as were the puddings. Cannot recommend the food enough. The service also excellent, lovely friendly waiter. Local beers, gin and whiskey as well! Only thing that might put some off is there is no toilet, you need to go to the pub next door, but if you can cope with that it's worth it!

Great food and great staff. We ate in several places in Aberdovey and each one was surprisingly fab. I felt the need to put a review on each place we ate. Thank you Aberdovey 😊

This place is a bit like an unfamiliar roast dinner. There are parts I liked, some quirks I certainly didn't like and then some standard components that were as expected. So we arrived on time to find that our table was not ready, this is ok, its a fairly intimate setting so we went for a drink next door. Good local village, so when our table was ready a waiter came across to the pub and brought us to the table. Within no less than 5 minutes the waiter was pushing us for our order. He tried to make a joke of it but was being serious. We weren't late, so why rush us? The demeanour was over friendly and slightly uncomfortable. Next one of our party asked to use the facilities... they were sent down the street, to use the public toilets (hopefully not the bushes). This is a major note. Either drop the kids off before you visit this establishment or be prepped for a night time stroll to the local beachside public loos. The food was generally good, but with all the above thrown in (and more that the word limit prevents me from adding) I feel 3 stars is not only fair but possibly generous at this price range.

We are staying in Tywyn to start the New Year and decided to drive to Aberdyfi last night for some food. We went into Coast and thankfully they had a space for two available. The ambience and aesthetic were great and the staff were really friendly, attentive and considerate. The wine selection was great (we had the house merlot which was lovely) and between 2 of us had 7 tapas and 2 deserts which was more than enough! Croequetas and Mussels being our favourite. Really wonderful evening and certainly somewhere we will visit again next time!

Went for dinner. No pizzas available so we had the tapas. Ordered the mussels, most of them were closed which means they we dead before cooking. We also had the squid which was inedible, like rubber bands. The bay fries were also inedible. People we're sending food back all night. Apparently they were just using up old stock before closing for the off season. Hope they sort them selves out for the new season.

We had another lovely evening at Coast. Very good service and our food and wine were as good as they always are at Coast. Best small restaurant around the area. Thank you Team Coast

A shame that the staff don’t understand that the customer is an important element when operating a cafe. All was well until the temperature in the cafe dropped and there was a significant cold draft. It was -2 outside when the staff decided to open the windows so they could cool down. I asked for the windows to be closed as it became very uncomfortable. The answer was, they were hot, so no!! I had to put a coat on to eat my lunch. Asked again, but again refused because they were still too hot. I should have sent the soup back and not paid, but didn’t want to spoil the family get together.

What a fabulous restaurant, we visited two nights running and had excellent food and service. They should feel very proud of what they have achieved. I’d go back in an instant. Superb

Coast offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu caters for both seafood enthusiasts and those seeking land-based options. We went on a night when they were serving their tapas menu - the mussels in a cider and leek sauce were outstanding, along with the lamb rump in a black pepper sauce! The inviting ambiance and attentive staff, create a memorable dining experience. A visit to Coast promises a flavourful journey from start to finish making it the standout destination in Aberdyfi.

Fantastic, from the moment we arrived until we left the service, food and drinks were bang on. We spend a lot of time in Mallorca and love Tapas the quality here was top draw, Will call again.

Good quality ingredients.Classic recipes done well. Plenty of variety on the menu. Informal attentive service

Let's get this out of the way first. Despite what it says on the website, you can't get a takeaway pizza yet. They are applying for a licence, which might suggest newish owners. Anyway, on to the food. We went for tapas, and I like tapas, and this was better than a certain eponymous tapas restaurant named after a famous chef in Birmingham. The prices are keen, and the bacalao croquettas are probably the best I've eaten. Local hake with puy lentils was a stand out too, as was the duck breast. The friendly servers could not have been more charming. In the end, we were pleased that takeaway pizzas were off the menu.

Lovely little place to eat, great menu and nothing too much trouble. The staff are very friendly, and they welcome dogs. I called in every day of my holiday, sometimes just for coffee, sometimes for food. Thank you

Very informal and friendly. Young enthusiastic staff with a "start up" vibe. Tasteful music from previous decades. Quick service despite being busy - amazingly so considering dire autumn weather and quiet seafront. We had a seafood selection, not cheap but very fresh, mostly local and skillfully prepared.

Visited Coast last night to celebrate my daughter’s birthday . A superb meal was had by everyone . Thoroughly recommend the seafood sharing board and also the rack of lamb . Service was attentive but unobtrusive and a fantastic atmosphere . Can’t wait to return . Thank you Phil and all your lovely staff .

Really nice local produce for sale. There is a takeout shop and a sit-in cafe 2 minutes from each other. Dog friendly! The staff were friendly and the food was great!

A very friendly café, the staff are very friendly and with good food in a lovely location. But and it’s a big but for me the coffee I had was really bad. I had a decaf cappuccino with oat milk. The quality of the decaf coffee was really poor and it was clear that the had no idea what to do with oat milk. It was a frothy hot drink with scorched milk, not a cappuccino. You should be able to balance your spoon on the foam. This one failed every test.

We enjoyed our food here. It was freshly cooked and tasty. However one of my pet hates is a gluten free meal where the menu is just has the gluten items crossed off and not replaced. None of the gluten free dishes had carbs! Even the fries (ok in themselves) were not cooked in gluten free oil. And I wasn't happy that there were no toilets to wash my hands - had a 5 minute trek to use the not very clean public conveniences.

Definitely the best food we ate in our week in Aberdyfi. The room is crowded and noisy, hard to get a table but can totally see why. Delicious and reasonably priced. Do yourself a favour and book ahead for an evening meal.

Had 2 meals here while away for a week in aberdovey had the tapas the first time and the lamb the second time. Food was excellent, great service

Lovely food but service is not good at all. Too slow…… Serving people at counter who arrive after people who are seated for long time. Need more staff and better staff. Won’t be back for a while which is sad.

Ordered 3 tapas dishes each, making 6 in total. They came out a little spread apart for our liking, most dishes were delicious if a little small for the price. Had to send back the lamb dish as raw and had finished other dishes when it was returned cooked some 15 minutes later. Ordered a Cherry Sundae as still had room for dessert, was very disappointed as one scoop of ice cream with a few bits of cherry and meringue for £7.50 (extortionate).

Really lovely food, sensibly priced and nice surroundings. Dropped in for an early lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Highly recommend.

My sisters and I were recommended this lovely little restaurant and we were not disappointed! Friendly staff, prompt and attentive and the food delicious {as was the wine!} The only drawback was the lack of a customer loo....bit odd and only public ones or the...

I have visited several times for breakfast and I have never been disappointed. Service is great, food is top quality and the seating is comfortable

Worst flat white to takeaway i think ive ever had...enormous cup...far to much milk for a flat white...could barely taste any coffee. Staff need to learn what a flat white actually is!!

I wanted to leave a bad review purely to be on the end of one of Phil's brilliant acerbic responses...but tragically I am unable to do so, having experienced yet another delightful meal. In the years that we have been coming to Coast, we have...

Superb night Fabulous fish of the day Ben the waiter drove us home at end of meal as we had no umbrella and it was pouring down Food and service amazing… just go… highly recommended

Really great healthy food for vegetarians. Luckily it was sunny so we sat outside, but all the food can be used as a takeaway.

Definitely the best place to eat in Aberdovey. Welcoming team, service great, excellent menu. Dog friendly. A very enjoyable evening, thank you

Visited a few times before and always forget to leave a review! Went tonight as a family of 9 for birthday meals... We had the seafood sharing boards, the pizzas, desserts... It was all lovely!! The staff are really friendly and attentive. Will OBVIOUSLY be...

Visited on Monday 26th June as a birthday treat with a friend and my husband. It was tapas night which we weren’t expecting but were pleasantly surprised. The choice of dishes was really good with a Welsh twist to some, plenty for me the veggie...

We have just had a perfect evening. The seafood pizza was amazing. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating as we had 3 dogs with us. I would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Incredible food and equally as amazing service. Couldn’t have been more pleasant and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to bring 3 fairly big dogs in with us! Highly recommended (and the seafood pizza was phenomenal). Thankyou!!

We ordered a few tapas dishes, which were beautifully cooked, although they did vary in portion size, and some were quite expensive for what you got. The monkfish was particularly delicious. We still had room for dessert, and ordered the cherry sundae. This was very...

First visit this year we were not disappointed Best fish meal we have had for some time Had beach platter can highly recommend Very helpful staff Remember when this was a deli with fresh fish been sold out of window on the square

Absolutely stunning. I've been holding off on trying lobster my whole life as I wanted the setting to be just right. And so it was in Coast in Aberdyfi on a hot summer's night. Phil and his team looked after us extremely well and were...

Fantastic food / restaurant . 2nd time we've been out for dinner here. Highly recommend this place if you are visiting or staying in Aberdovey.

Came here for breakfast while on holiday last year and it was so good that when we visited Aberdyfi again this year we HAD to come back and were over the moon. The staff (though busy) we’re very friendly and attentive and the food is...

Proper food in a delightful, if very small, restaurant. The staff were attentive, helpful and cheerful. My wife had a monkfish dish cooked to perfection and I had a delicious burger with fabulous small chips. Delightful puds followed. Also good wine and overall very good...

Used Coast deli twice and the food was absolutely fabulous, would highly recommend a visit. All 4 of us had different dishes and each one was outstanding.

Beautiful setting right opposite the seafront. We had a table in the window which was perfect. Fish of the day was a seabass fillet served on a bed of the best risotto I've ever had! Friendly, attentive service with great foo. Can't wait to return....

We’ve been here 3/4 times to both the restaurant and coast to go, never any complaints; we went for lunch this time and had a pizza and a sandwich which were both lovely, definitely book if you’re going

Delicious pizza right on the sea front. I order for takeaway and it was ready exactly the time they advised. Would recommend calling in advance as they are very popular.

Great bistro throughout the day. We had coffees and cakes and also dined in the evening from the tapas menu. Lovely staff and food was just brilliant. One of our group is a coeliac and she was well catered for and looked after, so highly...

I could not speak highly enough of this wonderful restaurant! The moules cooked in white wine, garlic and cream were delicious! Wonderful menu including fab desserts - I had Affogato with Armagnac which I highly recommend!

Chose greek yoghourt, chia seeds, granola, fresh fruit. Waitress informed us they had no bananas. When the dish arrived - blueberries were on their last legs (dried up and wrinkled), the scant granola was no more than toasted porridge oats (nothing else eg nuts) The...

Spotted this cafe / bistro just off the beach. It’s a lovely compact cafe that was very busy on a poor day weather wise. Staff friendly & served quickly. I had coffee & lime / courgette cake which was very nice. Will hopefully be back...

We stopped at this restaurant for a dinner one evening on our holiday, and we were very pleased with our experience here. The service and food were both fantastic. I had the sea food pizza, and what a joy it was! I can honestly say...

Delicious lunch on a blustery day. I had the bubble & squeak with black pudding, which was so tasty. The fries were really good too. The staff were lovely and although the cafe is small it didn’t feel too cramped due to the bench seating...

Been here many times and always tasty interesting food. Happy young staff that are really helpful and go out of their way to squeeze you in if they can. Would highly recommend but need to book for dinner as you won’t get in otherwise. Also...

Recommend the Aberdyfi cooked breakfast, egg, white pudding, black pudding, lava bread,bake beans tomatoes and sausage. Good coffee. Great. Service

We were blown away by the amazing Beachside board sharing platter. Absolutely delicious, and our first taste of laverbread. The kids also loved the pizza and rarebit, and we shared some fries. Worth a trip!

We knew that we were in for something good by the number of persons waiting to for a seat. Very compact menu with something for all and our party chose various dishes. All well presented and freshly prepared and more importantly delicious. Very friendly service....

Fitted us in during a busy evening. Friendly staff, excellent food and drink. Right on the waterfront. Highly recommended. We will return!

I was staying in Aberdovey on my own so Coast was perfect for dining alone but there were lots of couples and groups too I ate there twice in the evening and on both occasions it was excellent I don’t eat meat but the fish...

We had a lovely lunch and staff were very accommodating as we asked to move tables to stop the dog from getting too distracted. Coffee was excellent. We forgot our takeaway box as the two generous pizzas came with chips we couldn't finish them. Staff...

This is a nice friendly little restaraunt, the owner was friendly and chatty and made the four of us and our three dogs feel very welcome. We all had the fish Bhaji to start and it was delicious. I ordered a spicy pizza which looked...

Great selection of delicious local food in a pleasant sea front bistro. It's difficult to satisfy us all but all 5 of us thought the food was excellent. Friendly service too. Highly recommended.

Lovely little restaurant facing the sea. Nice menu and good price. We eat here for lunch and really enjoyed it. Lovely fish pie!! Oh and dog friendly !

Myself and my husband visited for an evening meal for his birthday and the meal was fantastic. We had delicious and original tapas style dining and each of the dishes were absolutely lovely. We would highly recommend this place. Atmosphere was lovely and the staff...

We called for a coffee and cake just on closing. Very friendly welcome, and Service. Lavazza Coffee was great, the Raspberry, and Coconut Cake, as well as the Blueberry Bakewell were delicious. They do meals there as well. Give it a try.

Food and service brilliant and delicious. The Asian curry with chicken was amazing and white fish baji incredible thank you

Visited as a family. attentive staff and lovely selection of food. Good atmosphere on the night of our visit. Very good value. Only downside is toilet is across road or in pub next door.

Arrived at 11.15am Sunday and asked whether brunch was still be served (as per advertised 11.15amish). Despite empty tables, was advised no, only taking lunch bookings (at 11.15?). What a shame this place doesn't understand customer service.

Cancelled a booking for 2 people at 5pm on a Saturday during half term and the response i got on the phone was incredibly rude. I understand the pressures of a small business (which is why we frequently supported Coast in the past) but this...

Decided to pop in for an early dinner sitting (5pm) as we were driving down the coast road and Coast had pretty good reviews on TripAdvisor. Well we weren't disappointed what a great little bistro serving lovely tasty food with fab service. Their Scallops were...

My wife & I had a really nice lunch in Coast today. We both had a very tasty Spicy Carrot soup along with Sourdough & bacon/eggs/salad. Service was very quick & polite.

Myself and my partner had a wonderful meal at Coast! From start to finish the staff were so so attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Would highly recommend!

We often make the 54 mile round trip to Coast Deli Dining, we love the food there and usually the service is pretty sharp, but on our last visit we asked for a couple of drinks and couple of boxed Greek salads to go, as...

We had the tapas menu and it was absolutely gorgeous, will definitely be back , we also had a takeaway from the deli and that was equally delicious!!

My husband and I were just making a quick visit to Aberdovey (will return) and were looking for a tasty snack, when I spotted Coast. We had the beef and caramalised onions. It was gorgeous. The best food we had all week. So tasty

Another lovely evening at Coast. We have had the tapas menu ( served evening time early in the week) a few times before so we decided to try the Seafood Sharing platter. What a treat it was! All so fresh and beautifully presented. We asked...

Fab service, I eat here often, Tyri always goes above and beyond to do everything, along with the rest of the staff where nothing is to much trouble. Very welcoming and the food is lovely definitely worth a visit

Sad to say our experiences were poor. Was willing to give the benefit of doubt, but given the staff's rude response then I feel it is important to share our experiences. You treat people poorly, don't expect good reviews. We visited Coast on Wednesday (Aug...

Had booked & got there . They put us on a tiny table in the middle of their restaurant. It was not only tiny but they where serving just a tapas menu & pizzas. They recommended 3 tapas dishes. Well as you can imagine put...
