The best restaurants in Wales

Very disappointed been coming here for years food was ok but no atmosphere there anymore staff used to be very bubble and happy.

We were really looking forward to a fish and chip dinner. Two mouthfuls and it went in the bin. Greasy and soggy chips, dry fish (even the dog didn't want it). Food seemed like it had been left over since lunch time. Absolutely gross.

I don't know if they have a new chef or if they were on holiday but this was so different to the delicious food we've had before that I couldn't believe the difference. It was all frozen: chips, onion rings, burger. Family couldn't even eat it, terrible. Used to proper cooked meals there like home cooked fresh, felt burger used to be made there not like the flat plastic thing I was given tonight. Didn't mind paying prices for what it was but not for this meal. Not going back.

Good food ..hot, tasty and delicious 😋

This is a rare review for me but I haven't even left the cafe yet ,the breakfast I just had was second to none everything was exceptional,I had a pot of tea for one I ended up with 4 cups out of .tastiest best cooked breakfast possibly I have ever eaten

We were struggling to find a bar to have a drink and take the dog in Pwllheli, they do not appear to be so dog friendly there as they are in Porthmadog and Abersoch! We had driven past Whitehall and saw the board outside saying dogs were welcome and parked up. Hubby went inside and I then realised the board was for the pub next door so called him and we went there instead. Orla (the owner) greeted us warmly and advised it’s table service only so we sat in the beer garden and ordered some drinks. We shared with Orla the struggle to find somewhere open on a Monday and then also allowing dogs. Orla came over and told us they weren’t usually open until later in the week but as the weather was nice, thought they’d open up and see if people were about. Orla chatted with us about the area, where to go and where to avoid, she was a real fountain of knowledge and even wrote it all down for us. We’re not sure on the food experience as we didn’t eat, but please ignore the negativity in the previous review as it seems mainly based on character of the owners and to be honest, the owners were so hospitable and warm with us, I don’t get how their experience was so vastly different to ours! Orla is from Cork and has lived in Wales for many many years, go see her if you want some true advice on the area, she’ll definitely help you! Thank Orla!

What a find! We had a super lunch. The staff were very friendly and the service excellent. The food was mostly homemade and freshly prepared. The ploughman’s lunch and afternoon tea were amazing. Will definitely return.

Spotlessly clean lovely caffi coffee was really good and excellent staff can definitely recommend this cafe. If you are visiting. Watch the big car park as it wasn't taking cash payment the day we were there only online

Mock timber frame manor house retaining much of its character and charm. No lifts. Breakfast was choose your own pre-packed cereals with a cooked option. Dinner was a mini-taster with delicious options which we watched cooked on TV cameras. The room was clean but dated with an en-suit crammed in. High windows restricted light and views of extensive gardens and river. The staff were friendly and willing but lacked service training. Guests our age do not wish to be called 'you guys'.

Lovely little restaurant with a warm, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Welsh tapas - sounds odd but it works :-) An interesting mix of typical Spanish style tapas dishes (cod baked with a tomato and olive sauce) and some with a Welsh twist (cockles and laver bread). The young lady who served us was really helpful and friendly. Thank you for being patient and supportive with my husband’s learner level Welsh!

Solo stopover last Thursday. Expectations set high and brilliantly realised with drama and verve by enthusiastic team with the man at the helm. There was smoke and a mirror ball but this was the real thing. Imagine having your favourite foods from around the world brought to you in a succession of kobachi of delight against a soundtrack from the resident DJ. This was the best and most pleasurable five hours I’ve spent on my own in a public place.

Fantastic staff and a great atmosphere, lovely food and a good pint. Landlady is an absolute star and always feel very welcome when visiting the pub

Another brilliant meal and experience with friends courtesy of Nik the Greek, his lovely wife and excellent staff!!! From the time you walk through the door you are met with a lovely friendly welcome, everyone is treated as an individual even when they are very busy and the choice of drinks and quality of every dish from starter to dessert is excellent. I would recommend for all ages, even young children are welcomed and catered for and the premises are spotlessly clean. We have also dropped in just for mere and drinks on previous occasions as well as in the evening and our experience has been just as good. Looking forward to our next visit, very soon

Friendly and warm welcome-we never can fault it. Cosy seating and super coffee . The customers mix and chat.

After being a loyal customer for years at the Empire and then the Osborne, we have been refused a booking for 12 people as we might be noisy and disturb the other diners! We originally tried to book the Osborne for 12 people 5 wks in advance but were told we could not book the table more than two weeks before the date! Then 10 days before the date we wanted, we were told that they would not accept a party greater than 8! If we’d been told that, when we made the original enquiry, we could have made alternative arrangements. I wanted to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday, we are definitely not a rowdy group. We are now struggling to find somewhere suitable and will more than likely have to put off our celebration! So disappointed.
