The best restaurants in Bontnewydd Gwynedd North Wales

Myself and wife arrived quite late so were not able to enjoy dinner. However we recieved a warm greeting from the owner, enjoyed drinks in the lounge and were able to have a walk in garden before sunset. Room was clean and overall setting and feel was very nice. One point for consideration would be to perhaps consider serving breakfast from 7.30am opposed to 8am as this may assist guests who plan to walk Snowden. Many thanks Manraj Singh

Delicious dinner, with perfect wine pairings. Worth a stay at Plas Dinas, or else a visit to eat at the Gunroom Restaurant.

We were welcomed into Plas Dinas by a lovely young man and shown into the beautiful drawing room. We were served a delicious taster of mushroom and ginger consommé, followed by delicious canapés and pre dinner drinks. After selecting our menu choices we were escorted to the cosy dining room. Each course was presented beautifully, the intensity of flavours just wonderful. We particularly enjoyed the surprises of flavour combinations, e.g sorbet with fennel pollen, just wow! The lamb was cooked to perfection as was the plaice. The whole evening was comfortable, the staff quietly attentive without being intrusive. The environment was elegant and calm. I’m looking forward to returning to Plas Dinas for another excellent experience.

Great Sunday carvery. Great beers. Definitely worth a visit

Meifod Country House is perfectly positioned for Caernarfon, Anglesey, the mountains and the coast. It’s a lovely old building, extremely comfortable and the staff are delightful. The house is decorated to a high standard and the antique furniture is beautiful. Tripadvisor needs updating as there is no restaurant at Meifod House. The only food available is breakfast - standard help yourself continental and what looked like well cooked hot breakfast if requested (we didn’t have cooked breakfast). We only saw and met two staff during our stay, both of whom looked after us very well - nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom (Brymer), overlooks the field to the side of the property. The bed is enormous and very comfortable. The bathroom is huge, with a double ended bath and shower attachment attached to the taps (no actual shower). Good big towels, high quality bed linen, and a fridge in the room. When we return to the area we will stay here again. I recommend it highly.

I chose to give this place a try as it was the closest takeaway to where I was staying. Upon entering you can see the grease and grime on walls, and light switches. Pretty much everywhere behind the counter looked like it was not cleaned regularly. There was a distinct lack of basic customer service; no greeting, no please or thank you. Bits of tattered paper with faded writing randomly stuck up around the place and, what I assumed to be a fake note stuck onto the main menu board with brown tape. You can see the same note from a pic posted on here from 4 years ago!! That really should have been enough to make me walk out but it was late and I didnt know the area well enough to go somewhere else. After I ordered my food, I also noticed some disposable face masks randomly hung up on what looked like the end of a stainless steel utensil. The strings were yellow with grease. You will see them in the background of a pic posted on here from a different review from 1 month ago. It was possibly nearing closing time when I entered as they had hung the large floor mats on the railings at the fish and chips end of the takeaway (there are two sections in this place, one side for fish and chips the other for Indian food and kebabs.) I ordered the chips and a battered sausage. Unfortunately the food was not good at all.The chips were dry and the sausage was covered in thin light batter and was soft and mushy on the inside. I feel sad when I see establishments like this. It feels like the owners have no pride or passion in what they are doing. I wont be using this place again for the duration of my visit.
