The best restaurants in Harlech Gwynedd North Wales

Genuinely fabulous! A stunning location, lovely clean room with some unexpected embellishments. Wonderful staff, serving exceptional food and a really cool aviator themed bar! (breakfast delivered the night before for an early check out!) my photos don't do it justice. I just hope I'm not doing myself an injustice by reviewing this place to find it not available next time I come to stay!

Coffee and food advertised is great, however if you’re craving extra bacon with your avocado on sourdough toast forget it! Such a shame would have 5 stars otherwise ….

Pretty much dire. Brown toast and marmalade was served soggy and ready buttered I would say with margarine, definitely wasn’t butter. Marmalade was nice and home made from the Welsh Lady Jams company. Scrambled eggs were weird. Really weird. Palest barely yellow colour , bland and cooked in the microwave. Toast again was soggy, pre buttered and under toasted. Tea was ok. Coffee was Americano because when I asked for flat white and I asked if it would be a small cup and nice and strong the lady said no it was made with mostly milk. 👎 We won’t return.

If ever you visit Harlech Castle and need cash for the carpark, this is a must. "Cash machine" facility available inside that gives coins. The staff are excellent and friendly. The pumpkin soup is to die for. Cafe incorporates a gift shop, wool shop, comfy seating, terrific back ground music to eat your lunch/ tea to. Can't wait to go back.

Great cafe, lovely food in the shadows of an amazing castle, best cafe / coffee shop in the area.

Amazing ice cream! It was simply delicious, I had both chocolate orange and strawberry which were delicious so if the basic regular flavours are good you know the speciality ones are going to be excellent! The staff were very friendly and service was quick! If I lived around the corner I would be there daily because the bakes looked great too! ☀️

Very homely & inviting cafe. Beautifully decorated with super, home cooked type breakfasts & nice coffee. Really friendly staff. Highly recommend this little gem.

Fab food and lovely spot - very nice drink and brunch baps. We had bacon and sausage baps, hot chocolate coffee and milk shake

Stopped off here after a visit to Harlech Castle and had a beer before the next train was due. Gorgeous views from the beer garden at the back, could have stayed here a bit longer if the train wasn't every two hours!

I’ve visited many pubs in my time, I’ve never come across one with such a heartwarming, authentic and fun atmosphere as The Ship Aground. Lovely bar staff, excellent landlord and a supreme cook named Dan who amazed us with his works. I fully recommend giving this place a visit when you have the chance!

family friendly, cake is awesome

Very good everything 💜 nice time x

Lovely food, good atmosphere and background music and very friendly staff. Pizzas and garlic bread were delicious as was the salad bowl. Will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

Great service. Great fish and chips. Gluten free option as well.

Stayed for two nights in late December and was very well looked after. Lovely modern rooms, great location and most of all a warm welcome in the pub/bar.
