The best restaurants in 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.

Jonathan kindly made a great tasting sandwich for me even after the kitchen had closed for the afternoon. Will definitely visit again. Thank you!

Lovely pub with extremely tentative and accommodating propietors. My dad has dementia and they couldn't have been more helpful and nicer to him. We were strangers here on our first visit but they treated us like their favourite customers. They treat all their customers like that. The food was amazing and generous! Can't fault this traditional Welsh pub. We would visit regularly if we were more local to the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We ordered some bread from Andy for our wedding breakfast and it was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommended ordering. Thank you Andy!

Charming little café with an amazing atmosphere, nice coffee and lovely owner. I especially enjoyed all the art and things that are for sale, like the beautiful notebook and inscents I got for myself.

Great for gluten free. Fab breakfast. Friendly staff, reasonably priced and nice down to earth staff (do you know how hard you have to look to get ALL these aspects to align?!!!) I’m here every week now and I’ve tried them all in this town! Another cafe in Crickhowell she turned white when I asked about gf toast and wasn’t even interested when I said I’d bring in my own bread! It’s not difficult people (and here is the proof!). AND they put their baked beans in a ramekin!! lol

This place is really special. The host is welcoming and really knows his stuff about rum. The vibe is great. A lot of locals seem to enjoy the place which is always a good sign. Unfortunately we could only stay for one drink but whenever we visit Aberystwyth we will pop in for a drink or two in the future.

Wonderfully thought out food, a unique take away experience, one where you feel good the next morning. Friendly service, ethical policies, great creativity with lovely ingredients.

Absolutely amazing 😍 I totally recommend,price and quality

We visited on a Saturday afternoon, a lovely atmosphere, service and food. 10/10 - will definitely be revisiting soon :)

Lovely place to spend an evening with friends Carol is very accomodating and food very tasty Carol and her husband are both very welcoming

Popped in yesterday to kill some time before kids pick up. Friendly barman and locals, call you over to chat if you're solo, enjoyed the well kept chestnut ale. Recommended.

Excellent vegetarian food. We had the tagine & quiche both come served with 2 side salads. Coffee was also great. Next time we will try the amazing cakes

Great new bar in New Quay, Wales. Situated right by the seafront. Stopped off with my wife for a couple of drinks. Really nice inside and has a great balcony overlooking the seafront. Very friendly staff. Good bar, well stocked with beers, wines, nice cocktails ect all very reasonable prices ( Look and learn Cornwall ). Really enjoyed our visit.

We have to buy in bulk, and transport talerddig sausage rools over 300 miles for our daughter, that tells you everything you need to know. Lovely bread too
