The best restaurants in West Wales

We (family of 3) visited on 4 July (see facebook) and could not believe our eyes when we walked into The Clock Tower on Market Way in Carmarthen. This place was a paradise for hungry vegans serving pizza, pasties, cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, chocolates etc. The variety and choice was quite overwhelming. You have to visit Absolute Treats to get an idea of how much different types of food there are here. There are a wide range of flavours to suit all palates, so get on down there. Well worth a visit and check out their website. :)

Visitamos varias veces mientras estábamos allí para unas vacaciones cortas. Pizza casera, deliciosas ensaladas y helados igualmente bueno. La comida era excelente, el servicio es amable y rápido y los precios eran muy razonables. La comida y el ambiente era muy bueno y era complementado por unas vistas estupendas del mar, a sólo 40 metros de distancia.

Myself and my friend came on Friday night and ordered noodles, chicken thighs and chips. The food was lovely and the service was very friendly and fast! Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful tea and cakes. Great hosts, Dawn and Pete who are dedicated to their business and their customers. such a wonderful place of history and therefore nostalgia for me as I lived in Login and was born there.

We had a delivery tonight. All of us loved the food. My 11 year old said it's the best food ever! Generous portions. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. We'll definitely order again.

Stopped here on spec our first night in Llanelli (had planned to go to the Thai place across the road, but it only had four out of five on its hygiene rating whereas this place has five out of five). Hadn't read any reviews but liked the vegetarian options, including ramen which is technically Japanese and not often found on Chinese take-away menus in the UK. My partner is vegetarian and I'm fussy about meat so I usually choose vegetarian options. Chinese take-aways aren't always great at veggie food but what we had from here was delicious. We ordered tofu ramen, salt and chilli tofu, mixed veg fried rice and prawn crackers. The prawn crackers were fresh, the mixed veg fried rice had a really good selection of veggies and a good flavour, the salt and chilli tofu was crispy on the outside and creamy inside, and the ramen was to die for. The broth had a fantastic flavour, the tofu was creamy, the noodles and vegetables perfectly cooked - and again a good selection of veggies. Also the portions were very generous - we couldn't finish it all, though we tried hard - and was mostly served in recyclable foil or cardboard containers. And the prices were reasonable. The service was quick and friendly; they warned us the food would take 15-20 minutes to prepare, which pleased us because that means it's real food freshly made. Looking at the reviews on here makes me wonder whether this place has changed hands recently, We are already planning to get another take-away from here during our holiday. Would definitely recommend.

The lunch box is a little gem. the interior decor is really bright and pretty which makes a great environment to enjoy some of the excellent homemade food on offer. there are specials everyday and lots of lovely cakes and treats. You know it's the kind of place that your always welcome and you can come for a chat, which makes all the difference.

I’ve driven past this place several times and decided tk pop on today as I had some time to kill! The lady behind the counter was pleasant and welcoming as I ordered a baguette and coffee!!! Baguette was delicious and filling!! Lots of choice here too!!!

Absolutely, the best fish and chippy for miles. We both order on line and go up and order. either way is efficient and the staff are very friendly too.

Visited Butterflies with a friend for lunch after a long walk. I was immediately taken by how cute and cosy the cafe was, and very much enjoyed the food (we had vegetable soup, veg chilli jacket potato, and toffee roulade). You get a good sized meal for your money, and the food was all affordable and just what we needed after a day of exploring. The menu was mostly classic cafe lunches - jacket potatoes, sandwiches, etc. - with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options available to suit a variety of diets. Cafe owner was very friendly and I'll definitely be popping in again next time I visit Newcastle Emlyn :)

What a great shop! So much variety of truffle flavours, small and large bars in milk, white and various darks! Also delicious hot drinks with homemade hot chocolate - what’s not to like? Homemade salted caramel jars are also a personal favourite! 100% recommend.

Great find tucked down a side street and away from the hubbub. Fantastic coffee and yummy mince pies too

We were on our way to St David's on the A487 when we spotted the signs for fresh dressed crab and lobsters (don't blink or you will miss it). The most AMAZING and super fresh crab and lobster we have EVER had. Just simply wonderful, in fact so good we managed to get 2 more lobster and 4 more crabs to tide us over during our stay in St Davids. This place is a magnificent find and if you like your seafood you will not be disappointed. This is takeaway only!!

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE LOVELY LADY WHO COOKED OUR BREAKFAST FOR US EVEN THOUGH THE CAFE WASN'T OPEN. WE CALLED FOR A BREAKFAST BAGUETTE ON THURSDAY MORNING AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH WE DECIDED TO GO FOR THE BREAKFAST AS WE HAD BEEN ON HOLIDAY AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY HOME ON FRIDAY 29TH SEPT. SHE PUT HERSELF OUT FOR US AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOVELY LITTLE CAFE.
