The best restaurants in Rhayader Powys Mid Wales

Travelling today from North Wales to Cardiff to visit our son - we decided to stop somewhere different for something to eat. Found this hidden gem. Lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff and a really tasty breakfast!! We will definately be stopping here again!

Absolutely amazing. Staff were very friendly nothing is too much trouble - they are more than happy to help. Food was outstanding and the atmosphere is best described as a family environment

This is a beautiful pub tucked away off the road. It has parking very close too. We felt so welcomed when we arrived and the ladies were lovely. We both had the rump steak which was AMAZING! It was a delicious meal to look at and to eat. Once again, the ladies looked after us so well and we would definitely visit again next time we're in Wales. PS. Did you look up the Flumps?!

Fabulous cafe in a beautiful setting. We often come here when we visit the Elan Valley. The food is excellent, lovely coffee and cakes. Staff are friendly, professional with service with a smile.

A one star review may seem somewhat mean, but in this case it is not. We travelled for nearly three hours to get to Rhayadar for a few days away. We love Wales and my wife's brother lives in the town. We arrived on Monday early afternoon and as we entered the town saw a car parking space outside Ty Morgans so stopped for a cup of coffee and something to eat. I opened the door and approached the counter. I was 'greeted' with a silent stare by one of the bar staff who was cleaning a glass. It was a bit like a western movie when the piano stops playing as the bad guy enters the bar... I politely asked 'are you open?'- which was a silly question as quite clearly it was open- the door was not locked, the lights were on, and their was no sign saying closed. The lady simply starred back at me unsmiling and said, 'YES'. Welcome to Rhayadar. I'm not easily offended but I wouldn't have spoken to a dog that way. As we left three young guys also entered and were told the same. They left and looked equally unimpressed. The owners of Ty Morgans need to train their staff on a few matters. 1) When you are closed, turn off most of the lights and lock the door. 2) Display a sign saying 'Closed' 3) In you event of forgetting to do 1) or 2) and someone enters the establishment wanted to spend money then train your staff to at least treat the potential customer with respect and not like something they've trod on the sole of their shoe. Thankfully there was a lovely cafe opposite with polite, helpful staff who served us coffee and lovely food. They will be getting a 5 star review from us 👍

Great food , great atmosphere although a little expensive I think you get what you pay for

Had a lovely Sunday dinner here , the vegetarian nut roast was delicious !

We dropped in here as we are staying on a nearby campsite and I like San Miguel!! Staff & ambience are great had 3 visits and really enjoyed our visits, always very busy which is no surprise!

Burgers were awful - we ordered a beef burger and a lamb burger and both were of very poor quality, looking like a supermarket value range product. Would absolutely not return.

We went for Sunday dinner here last weekend. 5 of us. The dinner is a carvery, I had the beef, the meal was lovely. Hot, tasty and loads of it. Excellent value. Excellent service from Emma who we booked the table with. Will happily recommend the Sunday dinner for anyone who wants, a great plate of food.

Very comprehensive menu, excellent food. All three courses very good, with friendly and efficient service. We ate in and although the ex-public house vibe is strong it does not detract from the quality of the meal. Definitely recommended

Great visitor centre with a good and not too tacky gift shop, and nice big café, doing a good selection of hot and cold food and drink. A little bit characterless asa room, tall and somewhat bare, but comfortable and warm.

Awful. The service was terrible, over priced food, they got the order wrong. Meals came out at separate times, my husband has finished his before I even had mine (had to ask for it). Cash only, and very adamant you pay when order. Staff in their own world, no customer service at all. Wish I never gave them £35 of my money!

People who we asked in the street told us about this place, they said it was “lovely” and they were correct! Comfortable and cosy, fresh food served, a varied menu, quick table service and, surprisingly, inexpensive!

Spotless, great coffee & Cake perfect pit stop after walks on the way home...
