The best restaurants in Mid Wales

Friendly charming staff and fab liver and onions supper. An unexpected gem in Wales on a Sunday evening. A great bar atmosphere

Decent little old school pub for the football, full of locals and odd tourist, dog friendly also and everyone was friendly, mind the step down into gents aswell it caught me out even with the notice on the door.

My new favourite coffee shop in Aberystwyth! Only just found out about it. No more queuing for ages at the ‘1’ across the road (IYKYK). I visited mid-afternoon. Quick service and nice cake selection.

Very disappointed having loved this cafe on our last visit and was looking forward to going back. The service was just not the same, they weren’t serving any of the cooked food they did last time and so with no choice we had tea and cake. The cake was stale, the milk was off, The lady made a fresh pot but forgot to give us cups so the tea was like tar by the time we managed to get cups but milk was still off. We upped and left and won’t be going back.

We ate both breakfast and dinner during our second stay at this hotel. Dinner is served in the Dining Room. There was a good varied menu that enabled us to easily select options for our two nights. We are unaware how frequently the menu changes, but a third night may not have been quite so easy. The food quality and service was excellent. Breakfast in the conservatory provides a very wide choice and is a mixture of buffet style and table service. Again the food and service is excellent.is

Visited here a few times now and had to share my thoughts! Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and extremely friendly service. Georgie and her team couldn't do enough for us. Best cafe in brecon, priced very reasonable and always leave full and extremely satisfied. The coffee is absolutely delicious too! Thankyou 👍 xx

Such lovely, friendly, kind and helpful people. Nothing is too much trouble and they will do their very best to give you an excellent experience. Whether this is serving you in their shop or feeding you in their café, it's all done really well. The cooked breakfasts are excellent and the chicken jalfrezi is the best I've ever had. Lovely lovely people and amazing food. I will definitely be returning. Again and again!

I had to laugh when I read some of the reviews complaining about everything here being vegetarian/vegan and gluten free - that makes a change! Normally those who need such diets have at most two choices and more often than not the gluten free choice is a cake - i.e. not a choice at all. Well not here and thank goodness for it. Everything is suitable for everyone - yes, everyone can eat vegan and veggie food. For me this is more inclusive and by definition better for everyone. Now my rant is over on to the food itself. Tasty, wholesome, excellent value and organic - what could be better than that - for both our bodies and the planet. Service too is good with plenty of smiles and the price is not bad either. As for the location well, you're here to learn about the planet and the impact we have on it and how we can help, and eating food like this is part of that. Say no more.

We went for lunch on the busiest of afternoons and the staff were run off their feet and did everything they could to make it ok for us, bringing our drinks very quickly, whilst we had a bit of a wait for food. When it came it was delicious, soup, homemade hummus, lovely mixed salad, and tasty wrap. Lovely atmosphere, wide spacious wooden tables, good humoured and hard working staff. Will definitely go back.

We visited the Black Lion whilst on holiday and staying in Ystrad Meurig. The pub has a lovely traditional feel and the staff and locals were very welcoming. We ordered pizza from the menu and they were beautifully cooked, tasty and very well presented. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food ! Couldn’t fault it one bit, great helpings too and all fresh . Service was impeccable, two young ladies with red hair never got there names unfortunately sorry ! Both amazing service went above and beyond and very professional. Will definitely be back again throughly all enjoyed.

A hidden gem in the lovely market town of Welshpool. Fantastic mega breakfast, the best fried eggs ever, lovely dark yolks. Bacon cooked to perfection & all served up nice & hot. Great coffee. Friendly staff & dog friendly. What more can you ask for!

Highly recommend this gem of a pub for Sunday lunch. Our Family of four arrived at the The Farmers Arms after a long journey back from North Wales. The meals were absolutely amazing! Both Adult and Children’s sized portions area available. Beef, Pork or Lamb or a nut roast were on the menu. Prices were clearly shown for one, two or three courses. We decided on beef and pork the meals were fantastic, served piping hot, the meat melted in your mouth, potatoes were tasty as was the gravy (extra gravy was served in a boat) vegetables broccoli, peas, carrots and cauliflower cheese were brought in serving dishes to help yourself all piping hot and cooked to perfection. The staff serving were very friendly and the toilets clean - cannot recommend a stop to eat at this pub enough - would give more stars if available!

Closed for refurbishment so didn't get to try but looked tired and run down a bit like rest of prestiegne. Town not worth a visit.

Firstly the restaurant isn't even named correctly as its situated in a differently named pub? The roof had a leak and the background atmospheric music is from the local radio station. As for the food, the pasta was overcooked, the lamb was burnt and the pizza was of the quality of a cheap frozen supermarket variety. Seriously overpriced for the quality of food.
