The best restaurants in St. Mary Powys Mid Wales

Visited tonight and the pizzas were absolutely fantastic. Wonderful combination of flavours. Had the fig pancetta & blue cheese and the Brie grape & rocket. Would really highly recommend. Thank you Gary & staff

Came here for some lunch with my sister. We both had the tuna jacket potatoes. Plenty of toppings and a lovely meal overall. Staff very attentive. Got some lovely cannolis from the show downstairs too.

Great little find for a real coffee and well worth seeking out. I had an authentic Cortado and there are a number of roasts to choose from. They are dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Having parked next to Christ College we walked over the bridge and up Ship Street to this restaurant for a light lunch. The welcome was warm and friendly and we sat at Table 1 where our order was taken. My (GF) wife had a lovely Waldorf Chicken Salad which she really enjoyed and I had the fish soup which was a Seafood Chowder and it was excellent and served as a large portion - I’d choose this again!! All in all, a friendly venue which I can highly recommend.

The best sunday lunch ever beautifully served plenty of it the meat was so well cooked your able to have 1 choice or forjust £1 extra you can have mixedchoice of all available x

Estupendo lugar agradable variedad de zumos y helados. Rocher Arq. mmmmm encantadora, limpia y fácil de aparcar

Lovely place in a lovely town. Great ambience, pleasant and attractive decor and environment and a 5 star service The bar maids - Jess and Lucy are friendly, a pleasure to chat with, and not only barmaids but cocktail connoisseurs that make a great tipple! Fabulous drinks, fast service, and a pleasurable environment to be in. Not to mention - even though the place is pleasant enough with no trouble - the security there does a fab job in helping keep the place run smoothly even though he looks like an extra from Vikings. Well done to all the lounge! Definitely reccomed a visit here for a nice evening out :)

I have been here twice since my coeliac diagnosis. The first time in October 2024, there was a big selection of tapas to choose from and really enjoyed my meal. The menu is labelled with what is gluten free etc and I was confident that the waiter was taking my order seriously. In January 2025, there was a smaller winter menu and the waiter seemed a bit more rushed but because I had eaten there before, I thought it would be fine. However, this was the first time I had experienced being glutened from a restaurant and I was not well. Unfortunately, being coeliac, I am unable to take the chance to eat here again. If you don’t need to eat gluten free, I would recommend this restaurant as the food is lovely and there are a wide choice of drinks to choose from. I just wanted to write the review to make other coeliacs aware.

We had such lovely, friendly service and really good pizza! Would definitely recommend this if you fancy a pizza while visiting the area. So accommodating and welcoming.

Sunday night , we travel when we can to here from Tenby only 74 miles , stay at the Wellington Hotel ( see separate review ) This is the best Indian by a long long shot . Food is amazing . This time it was the best Onion Bhagis as starter followed by for Linzi Handi Lamb Slow cooked lamb in an intense aromatic curry of caramelised onions and yoghurt. Flavoured with mace, cardamon & dry-rose petals. Scented with whole garam masala and for me Chicken Dalwala Small pieces of chicken tikka cooked with fried potatoes, pieces of lemon, selected spices and herbs in a thick lentil sauce, medium strength, very nice and tasty, Chapati for me , Linzi had a Peshawari Naan , and we shared two portions of Pilau Rice , now two days on and I am still saying out a loud " god that was a good meal . Already planning a trip back up to Brecon . We like Sunday night as traffic on the roads quiet and the Sunday in the restaurant also apart from a Vegetarian drunk and her partner we had the staff and restaurant to our selves . It's a shame what alcohol and vegetables can do to some one !! Back soon love this place did I mention the big portions. PS I like a restaurant where they welcome you back with a smile and a nod of exceptantance of welcome back mr Tenby .

Great home made veggie pie and German lager !

Great dinner in this characterful country pub in the hills near Sennybridge. Well worth a visit. Tasty food & good service.

Whilst staying in the area of Brecon the children walked past this place so we went back the next morning to try. Don’t bother, food was sub standard and the quality of a below par greasy spoon. Average waffles and awful Welsh Breakfast. By far the worst place we are during our visit. Try harder!

Another visit to my favourite cafe in Brecon, we came last time and was greeted with such friendly and helpful service we had to go again, they had kindly done the food for my father in laws funeral which was spot on also the best cakes and sandwiches. Last time we had a delicious bacon sandwich with proper bacon if you know what I mean. Today I had the special which was quiche, new potatoes and salad which was lovely, my husband had the soup of course as he was saving room for there yummy home made cakes. A must to try and the cathedral is really is stunning. Look forward to our next visit.

Came across this cafe and decided to go in as they were okay with dogs. First impressions were the decor wasn't my thing but that's just me... You might like it! The majority of the place looked clean, however there were a few points me and my partner noticed; the covers for the chairs were very dirty and it wasn't fresh dirt either. The salt, pepper and sugar pot on the table were visibly dirty so we weren't really comfortable using them tbh. I didn't find the place great value for money, it was overpriced for what it was but the breakfast was cooked well so I have no complaints on the food quality but it didn't fit the price. The drinks however were below par, almost £4 for a flat white and it was shocking; worst coffee I've ever had as it was pretty much all milk. Would I visit again if I was in Brecon? Probably not, and I'd probably be happier with popping in the coffee1 for a snack and save abit of money.
