The best restaurants in 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.

Lovely meal ar the superb Checkers - what a find in gorgeous Montgomery. Tasting menu was superb - the tasty ‘snacks’ at the outset set the standard for the rest of the meal. Stand outs were the brill and the beef courses but the carrot course was incredibly tasty too. Dessert courses also great - lemon posset with gel and strawberry with yoghurt, meringue and pistachios. Definitely worth a visit, great menu at a very good price.

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.

We ate at Libanus twice within a week which in itself should say a lot about the place. The first time as a family of four and the second as a family of eight. On both occasions the welcome, service and food was excellent. To make the first visit even more special having finished our food we made our way downstairs and viewed a film in their cinema, seated in the most comfortable cinema seats ever. A memorable evening!

Where do I do I start with Fabian's Kitchen? It's just the best. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the food is just amazing. Whether you eat in or takeaway the food is tasty and full of fresh ingredients and there is just an authentic taste and full of flavour. We need to support small ventures and Fabian's deserves loyalty from local people with their amazing food and lovely service. Full marks from me

Lovely local server. I had the vegetarian curry, which was (surprisingly) brilliant! Homemade, and tasted fresh and well-balanced spices- unusual for a vegetarian meal. Husband had ham, egg and chips. Chips were crispy, and ham was a generous portion, tasty and thick-cut. 😋 2 slices of ham, and 2 eggs. Great 👍

We've dined here a couple of times now when visiting Brecon and in an area with limited vegan eat out options, the Hop In is a standout. It's a quirky little bistro bar, with a good range of real and craft beers and extensive gin list. The spanish tapas menu is simple but offering a good range of tasty home made dishes. We loved the stuffed peppers, vegetable croquettes and patatas bravas. It's a popular place, so best book ahead if you are wanting to dine.

Stayed with my daughter for a couple of nights before the school term restarts. Room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Very quiet with a gorgeous view of the Welsh countryside. Breakfast was lovely and filling. A real shame they don't do evening meals as it meant we ended up with takeaways in the car as I wasn't sure if we'd be allowed to bring in hot food. That aside, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again.

Welcoming, friendly staff. Not just traditional Welsh rarebit available but other interesting and delicious varieties. Seasonal menu. Cater very well for dietary requirements. Third visit - has been perfect every time.

Had a 20oz rump steak and a pint. Food was really good, steak was tender and cooked perfectly, staff were friendly and welcoming. Very cosy and comfortable place with a stunning view. No faults

Superb food and friendly staff. Booked a table for 7 plus 2 dogs and requested breakfast, even though we were due to arrive shortly after midday. The Full Breakfast was fantastic, as well as the falafel wrap and salad. The dogs were treated to free dog treats and supplied with fresh water. This was our second visit to the cafe and certainly won't be our last.

We arrived on a Thursday evening to a busy pub and a very warm welcome. The drinks were delicious and good value for money. The food was outstanding - served piping hot and beautifully cooked. Excellent veggie and vegan options. We all had the salted caramel cheesecake for dessert and it was the perfect finish to our meal and the end of our holiday. The staff were very friendly and we would definitely return if/when we are in the area again to try out the rest of the menu and sample more of the excellent drinks menu.

The most relaxing dining in the wonderful eclectic home of chef Kerry and front of house Paul. The food is outstanding, beautifully presented with delightful flavours. There is true passion in every dish with the added bonus of fresh grown produce from their garden. A must visit whenever in the area

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!

Proper Pizza create the best pizza I have tried anywhere! Usually fully booked up for the whole night quite quickly, on so you need to get orders in early. My vegan friends love that he uses separate knives to slice their food too. Can't recommend enough.
