The best restaurants in Ceredigion Mid Wales

I walked by this lovely little place and saw the smoothie menu and had to try one. I’m very glad I did! I had the strawberry, banana, and mango smoothie made with apple juice. It was delicious. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. They also had lots of other lovely treats on the menu. Something for everyone. Quality was spot on and good price range too.

What a wonderful couple who run the deli/cafe/restaurant. It is Aberystwyth's treasure. The food cooked by Mario and his wife Chiara is amazing and very reasonably priced. They are an important part of the community and they care.

Wow! It will be hard to shift this meal from my top five of all time! Excellent service, great chicken starter for me, halloumi for my partner; we both opted for the lamb, cooked beautifully, as were the vegetables. Finished off with copious amounts of cheese (partner went for chocolate pudding) and a very nice glass of port. Many thanks for a wonderful experience!

An impromptu visit to this lovely looking traditional pub. We were greeted by a friendly man behind the bar and I assume was the owner ( thank you) a lovely bar area and setting for a family meal. We had a beautiful Thai meal and the Prosecco was fizzy. We will return when visiting Aber.

What a find! Not familiar with the area we found this on TripAdvisor. A small traditional pub, with small local bar and restaurant and a welcoming landlord. The menu is small but that didn't put us off, having a good choice of traditional meals such as lasagne, fish, and burgers, and we all found something we liked. All the meals are cooked fresh and they were happy to alter the pizza toppings for my son. The chicken in BBQ sauce was delicious and came with home cooked chips and onion rings. Service was excellent, and the landlord and waiting staff very friendly and quick serving. Will definitely visit again if in the area

We booked afternoon tea for last Saturday, and it did not disappoint. The food was delightful, the hosts most welcoming, and the view stunning (even though it was raining.) We had such a positive experience, that we've booked to go back for the Grill Night next month. Well done Paul and Vanessa, you've breathed new life into the place!

We called into the Black Lion in Aberaeron about 2:30 for some lunch. The two of us, plus our granddaughter and the dog. I asked if we were ok to bring the dog in and was told he was more that welcome. He got served before us as once we were seated they brought him a bowl of water! We ordered drinks and food. The food was exceptional. (We asked for and was given a takeaway container to take what we didn't eat home, it was that nice. We would 100% recommend going there, and will be visiting again ourselves. Very friendly and helpful staff (all three of the ones who we spoke to) 6 stars all the way as I can't give a 5 plus.

Jonathan kindly made a great tasting sandwich for me even after the kitchen had closed for the afternoon. Will definitely visit again. Thank you!

Lovely pub with extremely tentative and accommodating propietors. My dad has dementia and they couldn't have been more helpful and nicer to him. We were strangers here on our first visit but they treated us like their favourite customers. They treat all their customers like that. The food was amazing and generous! Can't fault this traditional Welsh pub. We would visit regularly if we were more local to the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is really special. The host is welcoming and really knows his stuff about rum. The vibe is great. A lot of locals seem to enjoy the place which is always a good sign. Unfortunately we could only stay for one drink but whenever we visit Aberystwyth we will pop in for a drink or two in the future.

What a lovely place in Aberystwyth, open on Sunday too. We had coffee and played chess. The lady behind the counter was very sweet and accommodating, we will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderfully thought out food, a unique take away experience, one where you feel good the next morning. Friendly service, ethical policies, great creativity with lovely ingredients.

Great new bar in New Quay, Wales. Situated right by the seafront. Stopped off with my wife for a couple of drinks. Really nice inside and has a great balcony overlooking the seafront. Very friendly staff. Good bar, well stocked with beers, wines, nice cocktails ect all very reasonable prices ( Look and learn Cornwall ). Really enjoyed our visit.

When you’re by the seaside, having an ice cream is almost inevitable! Mine was from the Pier Ice Cream Parlour, a street facing kiosk which is part of the Royal Pier. It serves a range of interesting flavoured ice creams, along with a choice of cones or tub. My Smartie waffle cone with honey flavoured ice cream was tasty…and the round wafer was so cute!

Visited Cefn Hafod as a last minute meal out. Really nice to see a village pub still going. Good parking. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The food was fantastic, partner and I agreed the steak was the best we've ever had! Even the little one cleared his plate. Pudding was also delicious. A real hidden gem. Thank you, we will be back soon and will be telling all our family and friends!
