The best restaurants in Gwynedd North Wales

Popped in for a quick bite to eat after doing business in the area. The first thing that hit me was the overwhelming smell of grease and chip fat. The establishment was rather small which didn't really accomodate the amount of tables, so you felt Squashed. We ordered a white coffee which tasted like cheap powdered coffee, like mellow birds. You couldn't taste the coffee, just the claggy fatty milk in it. It must have been my husbands fault because as he asked for 2x white coffees which I think must translate to milky coffee in wales. We should have probably asked for an americano, if they did such a thing. Anyway, my husband ordered a full english breakfast, and I ordered a small version, but they couldn't do this even though they had all the ingredients as it was exactly the same as my husbands but just less of it. Oh no, they said..its not on the menu. We can do you fried bread with bacon and fried egg, which I opted for as all I wanted was a small cooked breakfast. Martin's, my husband's looked ok, nothing special, but mine, when it finally came! good grief it was a plate of fat. Fatty fried bread with cardboard like bacon on top the 2 of the most greasy undercooked , oily fried eggs wobbling on the top. I couldn't face it so they changed my fried bread for toast, quite reluctantly, and just plonked the now cold and greasy original bacon and eggs on top of the thin white toast!! I ate because I was starving, but couldn't stomach the coffee. It tasted bad enough the first time. who I presumed was the owner didn't seem bothered about anything that was going on other than getting the payment, as I heard her say to the waitress 'have they paid for their coffee!. The waitress who was trying her best started calling my husband sir! 'is everything alright sir, can I get you anything else...the owner still sat there contributing , and eager to make sure we paid!! what a farce!! 😆

It was a cold damp day, the inside seating was full, There was one man in the kitchen, washing up and preparing food, and one young girl on the counter. There was a long line of people waiting to be served. The food was basic to say the least, we ordered 2 pasties which came out of the warmer, just luck warm. We asked for 2 panini’s which took over 45 mins to come!!!! We have been there before, but will think x2 before going again.

Had a delicious jacket potato here recently, plenty of cheese filling. The side salad was glorious with bits of pineapple and grape halves in it.

We visited as a large group (9) We booked for Sunday lunch on the day via the website and they were very accommodating The food was 5* I can’t say I’ve ever enjoyed a Sunday roast like we did today! Everyone was satisfied The portions were plenty It reminded you of a proper family Sunday lunch at home. We stayed on the local haven site and were desperate for some home cooked food and this really hit the spot. The desserts were lovely too Prices very reasonable for a Sunday lunch Wait time reasonable Waitresses friendly and on hand and when it come to sorting the bill let us split it at the till so it was straight forward! Not local to this area but will 100% recommend to anyone who are visiting close by Haven

This is a very popular place and the very long wait for fish n chips is why I only gave it a 4. Everything is cooked to order so that does explain it. Cannot fault the quality of the size of portions. Give it a go but be prepared to wait. It is worth it.

Called in for lunch on Friday. Lovely staff, all friendly and helpful We had a Lamb Flat bread and a warm Chicken Caesar Salad Good sized portions and both were really tasty Good strong coffee too! Plenty of free parking, interesting building with large outdoor area We'll be back!

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!

The imminent improvements here are long overdue. After all the promises with grants and support, nothing has actually happened from a customers' perspective and the building remains a drab and basic facility. Having said that, the beer is still good and the welcome was at least polite. I understand the big makeover is coming (with several weeks of closure) so here's hoping....

Tasty food, very child friendly and a nice shady courtyard. The menu is a bit different with some nice options for adults but also plenty of choice for kids meals (eg sausage, chicken nuggets etc). The staff couldn’t have been nicer, would definitely recommend.

我在班戈最喜欢的地方。 这里大部分都很安静，气氛很棒，老板娘是一位脚踏实地的女士，喜欢和你聊天。 我在这里学习时，我是她的常客之一......现在我毕业后回家了，但这个地方在我心中占有特殊地位。

Food was excellent. Freshly made and hot upon collection. Portion size was good as were prices. Remember to take cash as no card facilities.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening. We started with a drink on the terrace and we were given the option of eating out there too and we did. A beautiful view and a perfect spot to watch the sunset .Definitely planning on returning.

Thursday 31st August 2023, my husband and I went back to the ‘The Welsh Highland Railway Tea Room’ in Porthmadog for the Malcolm Green's funeral wake and to celebrate Malcolm’s life. This was a very fitting tribute as Malcolm and his wife Non used to run the tearoom, sadly both now deceased. There was a nice buffet and we all sat and we spent time talking to friends and relatives and lots of love and memories were shared by all those who knew and loved ‘Malcolm’.

Called in here for a pork and stuffing roll and had the most scrumptious experience. Unfortunately they had run out of pork (as it was near to closing) so they asked if I would like beef instead, I went for that with my wife having a lemon meringue and drinks. The young girl serving was most pleasant and could not do enough to make our sit in pleasant. The drama started there for me as I managed to leave my bag in there with a fair amount of cash and all the hotel keys from where we were staying. I did not realise this until well after closing. We returned to the shop to find it shut up and thought it was going to be one of those days. We rang the number on the door that was for deliveries only which to us was a bit of a long shot, but low and behold ten minutes later I had a reply from the guy there who told me indeed I had left my bag there and he had put it safe for me. I was thinking that I would return to the shop the next day but the chap said don't worry I will come back in five minutes and he was as good as his word turning up on his motorcycle, opening up and giving me the bag. I found this to be incredibly honest especially in this day and age and my faith in kindness and honesty somewhat restored. Thank you once again to the staff, and coupled with a lovely meal I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious tasty freshly made pizza in a lovely atmosphere . Dog friendly as well which was such a bonus . Delicious !!!
