The best restaurants in Bala, Llanuwchllyn Gwynedd North Wales

Really easy to review. WOW! So personal. Great environment, great food, great owner. Thanks so much for such a relaxed and friendly evening.

We called in for a drink during our stay in Bala. It's a nice local pub with welcoming staff and a good selection of beers and lagers and reasonably priced.

We popped in for a a quick bite to eat after our lovely walk to the local waterfalls. We received great service from Linda who sorted us out with some amazing food! We ordered a pork and apple burger from the specials along with the chicken burger, cheesy nachos, prawn bap and cheesy chip bap! The food was great and perfect size for a portion and arrived quickly. Not only that was great value for money for 5 of us! Thanks so much for looking after us Linda we will be back on our next trip to Bala!

I remember the original siop opposite the gulf garage. 2018. This is nothing like it used to be, we diverted to Bala just for the ice cream. The thing missing is the cream, it's not made the same artisan way, probably half the fat and lots of fillers. Yes it's tasty, but melts too quickly, it's far more watery. Just an average ice cream shop. Nothing special

Great food, quality and service. Would definitely recommend

For starters, the chipotle chicken wings were huge and the best we had ever had. The lamb taco was full of lamb and was very tasty. For main, the lamb suet pudding and the tagine with added chicken were both immense. Couldn't manage a pudding! We highly recommend this restaurant.

To be honest it deserves more than 3 star because the food is excellent and I had a great pint of Guinness in there , the young girls at the bar were polite , the only reason I scored it a three was due to a couple of rude locals ( I assume they were locals), unsure how much passing trade they get you don’t need a couple of rude individuals ruining it for them.

We were looking for vegan/vegetarian lunch in Bala. We happily found Y Cyfnod Cafe & Bistro to enjoy our selection of food and wines Warm friendly atmosphere, with a large selection of all types of food for all We had pizzas and multiply cooked gorgeous chips. Which was very tasty/filling too, that we brought some away for later. Via a pizza box supplied by the wonderful table host. We enjoyed Hope you do too. Regards Me

We're so happy to have found this lovely cafe, on the edge of spectacular gardens with fabulous views. Marvellous to have somewhere local with such good food, ethos, and surroundings. The proprietors and staff are super-friendly, and make a wonderful team: Toby's curries and Stephanie's cakes are exceptional. We'll certainly be back!

Bad experience. Ruined holiday........Contacted the company with concerns about their food and received no reply ....bit worrying considering the issues .

We came here after not being happy with the Loch cafe. The food here was lovely along with the staff. This cafe is definitely dog friendly

Been waiting to try this little pizza restaurant for ages you certainly won’t be disappointed I had the lamb taziki pizza was delicious my husband had the pepperoni one he said it was lovely and had side order of feta and beetroot salad it was so fresh best I’ve had in a while I even took the rest home wish we had a pizza place near us this good will certainly visit again when staying here

We were practically dragged in off the street, not by the staff but by a customer (whom we knew) , otherwise we probably would have gone elsewhere. Our enforced choice was perfect. lovely snack/lunch - excellent Welsh language service and a local ambience - good value for money. The home made "pwdin reis" (Rice Pudding) looked great but maybe next time. Excellent little cafe. Good choice made on our behalf..!

Great friendly pub in Bala. The manager went out of his way to help us with our older family members, which was such a kind gesture. Highly recommended for great prices and friendly atmosphere.

Delicious fish and chips, freshly prepared. We ate in. However, as configured, the dual function of takeaway and cafeteria in the same space with takeaway customers walking in, lining up and loitering between the tables doesn't make for a relaxed eat-in experience.
