The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Wales

Lunch Y Sgwar Located outside Nathan Davies’ SY23 restaurant, a casual, outdoor venue. Essentially, Y Sgwâr is an umbrella-covered, glass-sided terrace dotted with wicker armchairs and high bar stools, plus a smoking BBQ at one end – from which ultra-simple small plates emerge when ready. As we're eating later, we chose just a few dishes to keep us going. We could have devoured the whole menu, and the choice was tough. Prawns - Nam Jim £12 Chicken- Lemon- Sesame £12 New Potatoes - Garlic Aioli- Lemon £4 Who'd have thought potatoes could be this delicious. Service is chilled but attentive. Aberystwyth is a breezy spot at the best of times, but the glass partitions, brollies, and heaters really keep the wind out.

The food was tremendous once again. Staff are also so lovely ♥️

My husband and I visited Aberystwyth to watch our son play football. We had very little time to find anywhere to eat and were happy to find this place with a great outside dining area. We informed the staff that we were kind of in a rush and they took our order immediately. The food came out fairly quickly and so we managed to make the game on time. The staff are extremely friendly and pleasant. Food was great, would definitely recommend. Pity we couldn’t stay for the free desert which was on offer for that day. Maybe next time!

Absolutely amazing can't recommend this place enough. The staff are helpful and attentive with out being over bearing, the menu is varied, there's something for everyone. Really can't find any negatives about my visit or the food

Fish was disgusting, full of bones, batter was thick and soggy, chips tepid and supposedly fruity curry sauce was rank. Way overpriced for rubbish. I’ll be using Fintans from now on, the food from here is totally edible.

This is the best kebab I have ever had. I've been working near Hyde this week and have bee there twice.the food is so fresh and good portions too. Lovely food

Ordered a small chicken shish the other night, although the food is very good and delivery is spot on i was a bit disappointed with how small the small really is....just three pieces of chicken and hardly any salad...i was left feeling still hungry. if you want value for money i would go elsewhere..

8 of us visited the restaurant. Thought it was quiet only 3 teenage girls there. .... Perhaps there was a reason ..... .......🤔 Ordered our food. Ribs .... only Two ribs on the plate mostly bone, not a lot of meat grossly overpriced at £14 and £5 for dirty fries. ( Bowl of frozen chips with a sprinkling of topping. )😱 Other food ordered was the meat platter. Again for £28 inluding 2 side dishes it was not good value as not a lot of meat. Burgers seemed ok but overpriced. 😱😱 The final nail in the coffin was being charged for several side dishes which were inclusive . When pointed out the bill was amended but no apology.😱😱😱 Only saving grace was no bar so we bought alcohol from the garage opposite. 😀 Needless to say we will not be returning.

Always a fantastic choice of real ales , a very friendly welcome , a great HQ for the FNOFC,, Friday night old farts club

We booked a last minute break away to Castell Howell, staying in one of the cottages on site. We took 3 children and two dogs with us and had a wonderful stay. The cottage is equipped with the essentials and was kept warm and clean. The beds were comfortable and made with bedding and towels provided. The owners were very welcoming and beyond helpful during our stay. Went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. We were greeted on arrival with a welcome basket with coffee, tea, milk, a small bottle of wine, a bottle of cider and drinks for the children- which was a very lovely gesture. The views surrounding the property are stunning and there were plenty of places to walk the dogs locally, but was also only a 20-30 minute drive to dog friendly beaches in Ceredigan and New Quay. There are lots of other local attractions which the owners are more than happy to advise on things you can do locally and the best places to go. The property is very out of the way, so phone signal was an issue, however, there is wifi in the communal areas- bar and pool. We swam in the on site pool every day and visited the bar as well. It was very quiet so we had the pool to ourselves and had excellent service in the bar. The pool was warm and had changing rooms with showers and toilets as well. The facilities could definitely do with a bit of a clean and updating but this doesn't take away from the overall experience we had. The kids had a blast and we welcomed the break from our phones and work. In fact none of us wanted to leave! We will definitely be returning, thank you Castell Howell!

Wow- the food is absolutely awesome and so filling , staff were very attentive and lovely atmosphere . Highly recommend a visit and will definitely be visiting again - it’s a gem of the area . Pre booking advised

Some of the food are nice but the chicken shawarma was bad, it was bland no flavor at all

What's not to love here? It's owned by a working husband and wife couple, (when I say working, I mean they both work here) who are welcoming and friendly from the minute you walk in. It's uniquely decorated almost western type themed, which on it's on makes it stand out amongst the run of the mill bars in Newport. Another positive is the door staff, and bar staff - they have a keen eye about so are able to keep general riff raff and trouble makers out. Highly recommend this bar!

Tasty food, quick friendly service. Very happy 😊

Excellent food and staff very friendly. Music was a bit loud and I like to talk when put for a meal.
