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.

A gem in a sea side town. With world class service

The restaurant has recently moved venue now at the Victoria Hotel in Victoria Street. The bar area and the restaurant itself are very stylishly decorated. The bar area was a cosy darker area and the restaurant itself is light and bright. I think they only opened the day before and this was their first Sunday lunch service at the new address, though you would never have known. Excellent meal, all quality food, cooking and presentation. The braised blade of beef was as soft as anything. Quite a selection of vegetables on the side, all in all it was a large portion. I had to leave room for dessert and the warm chocolate fondant with ice cream and sauce certainly fitted the bill. In fact it was the most molten chocolate fondant that I've ever had! They are open certain evenings but I hope they open for a few more lunches, maybe Friday/Saturday as the season gets busier. An excellent restaurant, well worth travelling some distance for.

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

The food was really tasty and generous portions.

Small wedding party, treated really well from entry to exit, thankyou Claire for looking after us, being so attentive, professional and friendly, we made the right choice coming here and would highly recommend, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Thankyou for adding to make it such a special day ❤️

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.

Nice job place but girl serving us sneezed not a tea towel and then proceeded to wipe tables with it and kept hold of it to get things out of the microwave - disgusting !

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.

Great singer on when I was there however there was a strange man dancing with a pool cue which made me feel slight uncomfortable, apart from this what a great pub 🤩

Great stay here in the pink cottage which is presented very well and with 2 double en-suite bathrooms and a single bed. Good sized kitchen and living room
