The best restaurants in Bala, Llanuwchllyn Gwynedd North Wales

Great little restaurant, lovely food. Very polite and helpful waiter. Food was hot and did not take long to come. Excellent value. Have to bring your own alcohol and cash only but there’s pubs that will serve drinks and a cash machine a few yards away.

We come to Bala frequently but today felt hungry and saw the welcoming tables outside - as we had our dogs we thought we try for lunch and amazing place… food great and friendly service! Our dogs we fine outside. Highly recommend for anyone with dogs - they do allow both inside and out. Food prices are reasonable.

Well we headed here as it was dog friendly. This place excepts dogs but not dog friendly! The lady was friendly when we walked in.we sat looking to see what we were going to eat. It is small inside so difficult if you want to avoid people. As we sat a child wasn't happy as couldn't have ice cream. There was a child being noisy, flinging thereselves around. We sta the other end. The woman working told us sit in the bk corner or dogs under the table. Yes I understand dogs being in the way but the wasn't. Quite dogs, noisy kids! We moved to cafe woody. Great food x

Lovely tasty food! Ordered over the phone and was ready in 20 mins. The Duck and pancakes was a firm favourite! Would be fab if they delivered

Lovely welcoming pub. Plenty of room. Lots of choice and tasty food. The mac and cheese with garlic bread was delicious.

Despite reading the reviews we wanted to give it a try. We have fussy kids but spaghetti bolognese is always a hit and a previous review mentioned this was great here. Service was absolutely fine, but maybe that's because we were the only customers albeit it being a Sunday evening. We ordered the spaghetti bolognese and two pizzas and all was disappointing especially the spaghetti. So on the contrary to what others have said here the service was quick, and fast however we were the only customers so hard to say and the food was very disappointing. Bland, watery, very little meat sauce and abundance of spaghetti. We wouldn't go back.

Great atmosphere, spacious and it has a pool table. A bit of a wait to get our drinks. The veranda has plenty of tables and a great view of Lynn Efrnwy. Beware the fag butts bowl though. It has a food menu that fits with the venue.

This is by far the worse fish and chips I have ever had. We read the reviews and nearly did not go but thought “how bad can it be”, well it really can be that bad. The fish and chips was more batter than fish - not sure what fish it was but if it was cod it was the flattest cod I have had and pretty tasteless. The chips were dry and tasted like they had been cooked a week ago. The tables were not the cleanest, the only slight positive were the friendly staff - but unfortunately the food is so bad even they could not raise it above the rating of one star!

We went here by mistake, we assumed it would be busy on a Saturday morning and we were the only ones there, the smoothie machine was broken and they had no diet drinks for type 1 diabetics. I ordered eggy bread with cheese and I was served an on letter with two slices of break with cheese in the middle.x extremely bizarre and extremely grim. Overall bad experience. Ps the old lady in there was definitely a werewolf / look at the hands!!!!!!!!!!?! DANGER BEWARE

Been here plenty of times, haven't been for 6 months. Large donner kebab was small, meat was thick and like it had been cooked way in advance. Chicken donner was like shwarma and not shredded chicken. Chicken wraps barely had any filling. Everything was luke warm. Cost 32 pounds and was definitely not worth it. Will not be returning. We nearly ordered the bala special at £15 which we normally do but thank goodness we never.

Hilary, who is disabled, and I were staying locally in our caravan (not for the first time). A very good friend of our drove over from Sheffield and we decided to go out for Sunday lunch. We went into Bala and parked outside Sospan Fach (that we had been happy to use on a previous visit). We had a drink each, Sunday Roast (Pork), Scampi Chips and Salad and a Ham Ploughmans. All well cooked and presented, tasty, plentiful and served with a smile. We were sitting chatting about to leave when the lady brought the Sweet Menu so we had Berry Pancakes and Cream, Eton Mess and Sherry Trifle. I paid and was more than happy with the cost for three of us to have had an enjoyable meal. I cannot understand the low score and might have to try some of the other places in Bala to see how wonderful they are to have scored higher! Then again I might stick to where I have been well catered for in the past and again today. Keep up the good work.

Left by car from Sale, Manchester and arrived in Bala; looked for ‘Subway’ signage at number 39 on the High Street - only saw ‘Spar’ so turned around for another look before assuming that the Subway franchise must have closed. Drove on and found lunch elsewhere!
