The best restaurants in Wales

A direct message has already been sent to this place about my experience and no response has been received as yet (nearly 2 weeks later). First of all this place used to be great…great coffee, friendly staff, great food. With this in mind, my friend and I thought Cafe Rio would be a cosy place for our heart to heart chat, Now on entry it smells and feels grubby. My initial Americano was bitter and filmy on top, just awful so I sent it back, this was replaced with a much smoother cup. My friend and I ordered the breakfast Cinnamon toast with bacon and maple syrup for £6.95. It arrived: and how disappointing -two pieces of bread, two tiny pieces of streaky bacon and a bowl of syrup. The bacon was over cooked and black in places and the bread was completely soggy and soaked in grease and syrup. We both felt sick after attempting to eat half of it, so we left it and carried on with our chat. On leaving we both decided we would privately message the place about the standard of food and see what the response would be, rather than just leaving a bad review on here. As yet neither of us has even received an acknowledgement of our complaint let alone a personal response. It’s a shame as I felt this was a place you could rely on.

We had a great lunch and were impressed by the range of vegetarian dishes on offer. The service was so friendly and helpful too.

Quiet Saturday lunchtime.The day before the Chester Marathon 2024 comes through. The pub is returning to It's old name of Golden Lion.

This place had character about it. Not plush or fancy and a little cramped in the main dining area but the lovely view out of the window watching the steam train, the lovely food and relaxed atmosphere made it a pleasant experience. We had a mix of food between us. Pasta dishes, sloppy joe wrap and a sandwich. Added bonus was that the eatery is dog friendly. Our dog was welcomed in without problems.

While staying for a short period in the area, we looked on line for a nice restaurant and a his seemed to fit the bill. We were very pleased with our visit. The reception was friendly and not at all pretentious. It is not a large place, perhaps no more than 30 covers and although we made reservations, it was fairly quiet mid-week. Our starter was hummus but strangely we had to order accompaniments separately. Not particularly substantial but we enjoyed our main courses of chicken and salmon. Both well prepared and presented. There is is a choice of generous side dishes which made for a substantial meal. Prices are very reasonable.

We came here for a Sunday carvery, staying at Quay West site across the road.. Booking essential for the carvery. Food was lush, service & staff were welcoming

Booked in for afternoon tea for our wedding anniversary. We were greeted at the door by a lovely friendly chap, who guided us to the restaurant and our table. Service was not rushed and very friendly. The tea selection was great with the food being very very nice, well presented and full of flavours. We have had a lot of afternoon tea's, but this has become our firm favourite. Beautiful place. Highly recommend.

So many unusual and beautiful things here. Some expensive but some pretty affordable. Great for gifts. Retro used stuff great fun

An excellent pub in Aberystwyth Very tasty food, and neat beer. Thank you

Lovely caravan park. So friendly. Views of the sea and cost line. Also on coastal path, so can walk to Aberporth or Tresaith. Club house serves good food, kids area indoors , bouncy castle in beer garden through high season. Constant entertainment on wknds. Can not fault.

The bakery is just beautiful the baps are so beautiful full of filling and fresh even at 9pm at night carrot 🥕 cake is beautiful

We have been to this cafe a few times and enjoyed it. This time we called in for coffee and scones. The scones were inedible, too much baking powder which burnt our mouth. It was around 2pm so wasn't much choice . Even the seagull wouldn't eat it. The atmosphere everything has changed. Different staff than I remember.

Wow! What a little gem of a place this is! Our first visit and we were treated like old friends by Peter. Helpful recommendations made us pick some wonderful dishes. The Chicken Satay starter was best I have had and my partner had the Bakwan Udang, a prawn starter. Main course was the Monkfish, well recommended. Ani the chef came to see us and spoke about the food and her mums recipes. Gareth also helped us out in the night. The three of them made us feel really comfortable and welcomed. A real treat and well worth a visit.
