We booked this based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. Tucked a street away from the High Street, it's unassuming considering The Ship is two doors up. It's an unassuming, welcoming place, lit by fairy lights and candles. The atmosphere inside was lovely, the music in the dining room perfect and the staff lovely and welcoming. The real star on this is the food. We went straight to main course, I had the salmon, my husband the pie of the day. Both were cooked to perfection. The portion size was just right, the service excellent. I asked for something to be taken out of the dish, which wasn't a problem. Dessert was a real treat. I had the Baileys creme brulee, my husband pineapple upside down cake from the specials board. Both were amazing, the perfect end to the meal. I also asked if it was possible to have a cheese board to take away, for a snack later this evening. Again, this was not a problem, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The plum chutney is the perfect accompaniment to the cheese. We are here on holiday, so this has been a lovely evening treat and very reasonably priced. We paid £80 for 3 drinks, 2 main courses and 3 desserts. We will definitely rebook next time we are in the area.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation and the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast was outstanding. I wish it was nearer to my home as I would dine there regularly. The best restaurant I can remember for a long time.

We found this little gem on trip advisor and the reviews were excellent . From walking through the doors to leaving the staff made you feel at home and were very welcoming. We ordered the belly pork bites and scallops for starters and it was cooked to perfection with surf and turf as a main the fillet steak was perfect. We would definitely be back again and recommend this restaurant well done to all the team .

What can I say…. This has got to be one of the best restaurants I have eaten in in a very long time. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a very warm welcome and immediately shown to our table. The menu offered so much variety it was difficult to choose, there were even specials. We were a party of four, every course was perfectly presented and tasted delicious. I’m not one for puddings but 3 of us couldn’t resist, we weren’t disappointed. My only complaint…. I wish this restaurant was on my doorstep, but on the other hand having my own restaurant I wouldn’t like the competition…. Booking is highly advised as understandably they are very busy.

A lovely restaurant for a dark wet night. From the welcome through to the dessert the staff were authentic, friendly and helpful. Even to the point of singing Happy Birthday to me. Speak Welsh if you can, "Diolch"goes a long way. The food was tasty and plentiful. I would certainly recommend a visit if you are in Porthmadog. I will look forward to going there again.

A very cold and wet Monday night was made a whole lot brighter by a visit to this excellent restaurant. Called in without a reservation, but was made really welcome in a bustling dining room. Had a locally brewed beer, the scallops and the delicious steak pie and went home full and thoroughly cheered up. Highly recommended

Last minute booking for myself and my wife, they were absolutely packed and yet managed to get us a table for and evening meal,and what a meal. Parsnip and coconut cream soup (amazing) pate (lovely). Steak and mushroom pie and mash(presented lovely, cooked perfectly and tasted out of this world), vegetable wellington( vegetarian excellence) Creme brullee( home made shortbread creamy I've cream and the creme brullee stunning) Xmas cocktail was £14 but was so worth it. Staff were friendly and attentive but not overly so, not once did they come over to the table to ask about the food whilst we were eating( a pet peeve of mine) but you knew they were keeping an eye on you even with a room full of Xmas parties. It was under £100 for the two of us which included 3x beers and the cocktail which given the fact I'd paid £85 for a similar amount in a local pub a couple of weeks before, which was ropey at best, I thought was good value. Id definitely recommend this place to anyone and I'm a fussy one when eating out is concerned. Thank you 'Hen Becws'

This is our second time eating here this year, we returned because this restaurant is outstanding. As soon as we entered the door we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table ( pre booking is necessary as this place is really busy and deserves to be). They even known we had been before and welcomed us back. Drinks order taken promptly and arrived really quickly. The food arrived quickly too and was outstanding, I had steak which was beautifully presented and tender. My husband had the belly pork and he commented the same. After our meal we were welcomed to another drink and certainly did not feel rushed out. Top customer service and top food We will definitely be back in December to try your Christmas meal menu and looking forward to it already Diolch yn fawr

My good lady and I were on a 5 night break in the Porthmadog/Portmerion area. After experiencing a couple of mediocre evenings dining out, I decided to seek somewhere a bit more special and started my search online. I was attracted to Yr Hen Fecws Restaurant. Whilst in Porthmadog, we walked to the restaurant albeit we knew it was closed in the daytime. We viewed through the window and spoke of the lovely setting. I phoned later (after reading published open times) to book for the following evening. A very pleasant lady accepted our booking & kindly reserved our preferred table which we selected during our peeking through the window earlier. On the evening, we were warmly welcomed by a very pleasant gentleman. Shown to the table and took our drinks plus food order. WOW! The food was superb coupled with good wine. All staff were brilliant. Friendly, efficient and professional. The restaurant was filled with fellow diners within half an hour of us arriving. These too were friendly and chatty. We suspect the majority are local regulars. Before leaving, my good lady & I agreed it had been a superb evening, so we requested a repeat reservation for the following evening. We were asked: "same table"? Such a positive "can do" attitude. We turned up for our second visit & once again enjoyed another superb meal, drinks, company and extremely brilliant hospitality. We would totally recommend locals and readers visiting the area to dine here. We are convinced you will enjoy the pleasurable experience as much as we have. D&D

the food in the restaurant was quite good, not amazing but also not awful. a bit pricey considering the quality. but the service was awful. the young adults that were in charge of serving and front of house were awful. some of the worst service i’ve experienced and it let the food down. it felt a lacking in training, so maybe not their fault, but also not ours. we won’t be going back.

As always a great and cosy restaurant, the service was impeccable. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because I have eaten here before and had the Pork Belly, which was served as it should be, square oblong with crackling on top. We received a pork belly strip that looked like it had come from a pack of 5 Oak Farm strips from Tesco's. Shame to stumble at the last hurdle. Apart from that, highly reccomend.

This must be the loveliest restaurant in Porthmadog, seriously don't miss a visit here if you possibly can! It is small, so you do need to book. We came here for our 30th anniversary and were given a table by the window and treated like royalty. Our waitress, Eleri, could not have been more delightful, sweet, welcoming and attentive. All of the staff were really kind and friendly and kept wishing us "Happy Anniversary"! I had the duck and I can honestly say, apart from quails eggs at The Ivy, was the best meal I have ever tasted in my whole life! Wow! The flavours were absolutely amazing and it was cooked to perfection. My husband said his beef curry was delicious. We had such a very happy time and were so pleased that we decided to celebrate here. 100% delighted with this place, thank you.

We came for dinner on a Friday night. The venue itself was lovely and cosy. The staff were friendly and we had no problems with the speed of service. That made it more of a shame when the food wasn't great. For starters, we had a goat's cheese and caramelised onion tart, and olives/bread. The tart was a pretty simple square of puff pastry, some onion chutney and a slice of goat's cheese. Fine. The bread with the olives wasn't great. Quite dry and didn't seem fresh or good quality. For mains, we had the pork belly with chorizo mash, and the duck with dauphinoise potatoes. The pork belly was fine. Although, the meat was slightly over done and the gravy and purees had developed a skin from being left out too long. I was asked how I'd like the duck cooked, be that well done or 'pink'. I chose pink, but what I received was overcooked - not the slightest bit of pink and entirely grey. The carrots were also overcooked and needed to be pealed or scrubbed better. However, the dauphinoise were lovely! The pleasantness of the setting and staff saved it from a worse rating. The food isn't worth the high price tag.

A georgous little restaurant in Gwynedd, and in Porthmadog right near the harbour. An acceldade to the provision of fine food cooked at its best. Our meal was very much appreciated, the service was second to none and the wine choices clearly thought out. This isn't overpriced, and the quality of the items brought in are clearly executed with experience from within the trade. It's well executed and well cooked and well presented in all aspects of the house. A very big thank you as our second meal here was an exceptional experience and would like to say thanks to the GM and the rest of the staff including the kitchen staff. Your doing it right, and the whole thing amounts to a great place to visit, and a feel good moment for your time in Porthmadog, North Wales.

Stayed here overnight with my friend the room was lovely decorated and clean We went the restaurant for our evening meal we both Had surf and turf which was beautifully prepared and I have to say it's the best steak I have had in a long time the Cognac sauce was a beautiful flavour and the triple cooked chips were again delicious. We had one of the specials for a starter which was muscles and sourdough bread this again was delicious . We both had a full breakfast the local sausage was so tasty. We could also help ourselves to fruit salad yogurts and fresh juices., selection of jams. This was a beautiful breakfast and was in with the price of our room which we thought was amazing as there was no expense spared with the food and it was all freshly cooked. The staff I cannot fault in the restaurant and the b&b all of them were so friendly and helpful I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the location is excellent with a beautiful harbour just a couple minutes walk away

Had a table booked on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy with a few large parties eating. The atmosphere was casual and relaxing despite the place being full. The serving team were organised and very friendly. They helped with any menu queries. The food arrived in good time considering the number of people who ordered at the same time and two or three large groups. Mains were amazing, cooked perfectly, large portions and very flavoursome. The team gave enough time for everything to be finished before clearing and not a scrap was left. Desserts were clearly hand made, delicious and also a large size. We had dinner at Castell Deudraeth the following night and agreed that Yr Hen Fecws was a better meal, value, and overall experience.

Little wonder this restaurant is No.1 in the rankings for places to eat, it’s a real gem of a place. The warmest welcome, the friendliest staff, oh and fantastic food. We both had duck, cooked perfectly with a fabulous sauce, crispy potatoes and tasty carrots....

A good ribeye steak and chips. Found the seafood risotto to be 'soupy' and very un-risotto like (not creamy and any rice was indiscernible). Lemon and kiwi pie was ok - tasty filling, thick crust. After reading the previous reviews, it was a little disappointing....

The staff were polite and accommodating and we were seated and served on time. However there was something missing overall. The menu looks great but it’s execution was quite poor. For instance, I had cod fillet which was way over cooked or had been put...

What a gem of a cafe on the way up, or down, the Llanberis path. Great coffee, the most welcoming log fire and really lovely owners. Well worth a stop for a drink, cake and a chat. Also, very welcoming of our 4 very wet and muddy dogs. Would highly recommend!

This was the most superb experience on Christmas Day. It was an excellent lunch with great innovation to each course, lovely ingredients and all cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable and friendly. We can't wait to sample it again, before Christmas next!

Honestly the most amazing dining experience I've ever had. Fantastic local ingredients served in truly delicious creations expertly paired with wines. I've not experienced food like this before and I wanted to stay forever. Each dish was a masterpiece but I will be thinking about the salmon for a very long time. The wait staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, I felt so looked after. My family had a fantastic time. This is now my bar for a dining experience and I am not sure how it could be surpassed. A perfect evening. I hope I get to go back one day. Truly special.
