The best restaurants in Aberaeron Ceredigion Mid Wales

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.

Awesome Cortado! Rare to even find a coffee shop that knows what one is, let alone have them on the menu.

Given it's high rating we were expecting more than was delivered. Expensive food for what we received. All sauces lacking in flavour and definition. Odd food pairings, e.g. duck spring rolls (poor) with satay. Pork chop and lamb rump both excellent meat and well cooked, but served with what was described as a house ceasar salad was simply weird and not even caesar flavoured. Excellent sauvignon blanc.

Been here for breakfast a couple of times. Really great choice and service.

Came to Y Seler for a family meal after a long weekend in Aberaeron. Food was fantastic and the staff were really friendly. We had two young children with us and they couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. Highly recommend coming here.

Felt ignored, stood waiting to order and no one acknowledged me, felt this was rude of the staff. Customer service very poor and the service in general lacking also. Food was ok, should have been better for the cost. Won't recommend or be going back.

Quiet in a wet Sunday. Perfect for us for lunch. The burger was excellent. Full of flavour and cooked nicely. Chips could have been a bigger portion but good. Wife loved her veggie lasagne. Son had a good ham egg & chips. Great pint of Largo as well (sunk a couple of those the weekend before with uni friends). Great food. And some cheeky games of pool after.

Visited with a friend for the festive afternoon tea. It was served beautifully on a large board. Lovely selection of sandwiches and savorues as well as desserts. Lovely non alcoholic mulled wine too and lots of tea. Perfect afternoon.

Lovely ambience in hotel - bit bemused to see someone waiting on tables so casually dressed in shorts -starter was tasty and well presented - mackerel pate - could have done with one more slice of bread - good selection of vegetables well cooked with main but beef was a n]bit tough - cheese and biscuits were good - wine by the glass was expensive

Ate in this restaurant every evening - friendly staff and superb views over the bay added to the atmosphere. The food was good, plenty of choice from a varied menu. Excellent wine list obviously compiled by an oenophile.

Only went here for a drink, a great pub, good beer, great service.

Very average f&c, batter very greasy on the fish, restaurant area very busy and noisy, long wait times for takeaway. It's not terrible, but suspect it's location and convenience are helping their trade more than the quality & price of the food.

Dinner for 2. We had fresh fish and sides. Extremely good! We sat outside under heated lamps. Perfect, dog friendly. Cocktails and huge choice of food. Great deserts, too. Friendly server very helpful. Will revisit, thanks again.
