The best restaurants in Vaynor Merthyr Tydfil South Wales

I picked this cafe based on Trip Advisor reviews as a stop off on the way to a funeral. It was an excellent choice. Nearly missed it as we were following the sat-nav. Not sure about parking as a profusion of double lines. There is a short term parking slot big enough for 2 /3 cars in front of the café allowing for 20 minutes parking. We risked it and hope we don't get a parking ticket in the post. The place looked freshly decorated and has a pleasant ambience. Toilets were very clean. We had small cooked breakfasts which were nicely presented and went down well. Coffees were good. The prices reasonable. I would definitely drop in again if passing by.

Lovely Sunday lunch, well cooked fresh vegetables, proper roast potatoes and tasty gravy. Gorgeous dessert . We travelled 30miles to this restaurant on a rscommendation and it was worth it ,will be going again soon

Never been here I just want google Maps points to level up.

Food was sub par, would not seat us inside, but did not occupy 30% of the tables inside during our entire meal…

Always lovely food and great service. Or favourite Chinese takeaway.

Excellent restaurant! Diner en famille et très satisfait de la qualité des plats proposés. Le propriétaire (Jonathan) et son épouse nous ont très bien accueilli et nous ont recommandé des plats suivant nos gouts. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant.

This local Pub turned out to be just what we were looking for. The pub was recommended by a local it was extremely busy and it was essential to book as it was very busy. The staff were super friendly and provided home cooked food of the highest standard with equally good service at excellent prices that didn’t break the bank. My lamb shank was excellent along with all of our parties dishes. Can’t recommend this establishment more.

We was looking for a nice place to eat on a Monday afternoon, on my search I found this little cosy pub restaurant. We didn't book but we was able to have a table. The waitress allowed us to sit where we liked, which was a nice touch. The menu was perfect. Choose a starter to share. Our main courses was truly amazing, definitely worth the wait. Service was pleasant and relaxing. Highly recommend this amazing venue if in the area. Thank you Clare & Joanne for a lovely Monday Afternoon Lunch. 10/10

The Drovers is a quintessential village pub with a fine history offering good quality meals and snacks plus a wide range of beers in a cosy and attractive environment. Landlady Cherryl offers a warm welcome and living in the village is a font of knowledge on local attractions

This place is full of drug users and the service is really poor. The manager is rude and needs a lesson in customer service. Avoid!

Really poor meal for a joint birthday celebration. All served luke warm. Poor service & attitude. I sent mine back, the old folks too old school to do that. Met with a bunch of attitude from waitress on second serving of food. My dad who has medical needs went to use the toilet, the place covered in puke. The good waitress of the 3 there took him to the b&B toilets so he could go to the toilet. We settled the bill and left. 10% discount was applied to the bill... Never again £130 excluding the drinks we paid at the bar bill we paid separately £50 for that mostly soft drinks

Top quality would highly recommend to anyone

We've dined at the Taj restaurant twice in the last few months, and each time, the food has been absolutely delicious with an extensive menu offering a great variety of dishes. The decor is inviting and stylish, and the overall ambiance is lovely. However, the service speed could use improvement, as we've waited nearly an hour and a half on both visits before receiving our main courses. During our recent visit, we were there for around three hours, and we noticed that the table next to us had dirty plates and leftover food from previous guests that remained uncleared for a concerning amount of time. The staff didn't seem to prioritise addressing this. That said, the quality of the food is undeniable, and the prices are quite reasonable. The staff are friendly, and the restaurant has great potential. With just a bit more attention to detail in service and cleanliness, it could truly stand out as an exceptional dining experience.

Excellent food had fish chips and mushy peas all very nice too much for me to finish too. Two cups of decent tea as well all for £12. I’m not local but just popped in as it was lunchtime glad I did , place seemed busy but staff were all friendly and on top of things. I’ve noticed that the Tripadvisor description notes this place as closed? I’ve tried adding a new place so if it works I’ll do the review again. Anyway thank you . Great food and hope to visit again sometime
