The best restaurants serving French food in Wales

We left with a mixed experience of the Checkers after our stay in January. Highlight was the tasting menu. Fantastic courses each with a delightful blend and mix of flavours. Credit must be given to chef Andrew for his expertise and presentation style. Excellent too at £85. You will have to go far to find a tasting menu of similar quality and value. The service and hospitality though was solemn and sedate. Greetings on arrival were somewhat formal with little conversation and this was the approach to service throughout our evening and overnight stay. Each course being served without the passion they deserved, being functionally presented. We never saw Andrew either and he didn’t come out to chat to his guests. The overnight accommodation was very well presented with good facilities, although quite cold with the heating going off before we retired for the night. We can’t comment about breakfast as unfortunately we were slightly late after 9:30am due to an urgent family call we had., my partners mother being taken into hospital. We apologised to Rachel who advised that we were 8 minutes late and the kitchen had closed. There was only ourselves and another couple who stayed over that evening! A very strange way to treat guests who are paying well over £400 for the experience. So go to the Checkers for the excellent Michelin rated cuisine, but not if you expect warm service and hospitality to support the dining experience.

What a find! A fantastic meal and such good value for money. This place is amazing and we will be coming back! The nibbles were to die for and the service was amazing. Really intimate venue with only a few tables so you really get top quality service and they are so personable! The portions were so generous and the food was absolutely delicious. Left absolutely STUFFED! Can’t recommend enough.

Sloppy ice cream bought 2 cones one mint chocolate chip one chocolate both were so sloppy they melted before I could get to the beach. Not the first time I thought the first time was just a one off Need to turn the temp down on the freezer. Nottised a lot of other people with all theirs dripping down everywhere What a waste of money Ge t the whippy its more solid that's if the machine is working!!!

We went for a meal with friends who had eaten here several times previously and rated it highly. The menu is quite small and no vegetarian options shown, although when asked there were two options available, veggie curry and cauliflower steak unfortunately neither of which appealed to me personally. I opted for the potato skins starter as a mains instead which was quite tasty but nothing I could wholeheartedly recommend. My meat eating companions chose off the chalkboard menu but were all left feeling slightly underwhelmed, cassoulet, gammon and chicken, none of which they raved about, in fact they were disappointed too as it wasn’t up to previous standards. The concept behind the pub was apparently to recapture the original Victorian feel but it just looked as if it badly needed updating. Staff were very helpful and friendly but without great food I couldn’t rate it any higher.

That was the most amazing breakfast this morning....didn't eat another thing until 7pm this evening! Thank you so much...the beans were sensational! Can't rate this place highly enough! So sorry I live so far away and can't visit all the time!

A lovely walk around New Quay in the sun followed by a stop off for a delicious cookies and cream scoffberry crepe! Highly recommended.

A nice little find, good service and very knowledgeable about the area. Great coffee and some very nice crepes to boot. Shout out to Lois who was very helpful when I visited

Very nice dessert. They were closing so couldn't enjoy a waffle but ice creams were nice. Thanks ...

After putting my first order in on line I have gone back many times as they are the very best you can try, I would recommend to all as you will not be disappointed 5/5*

This is truly delicious, inventive, homemade, inexpensive food. I'm usually fairly underwhelmed by chicken, but this pop-up inside Ty Cwru is excellent. Makes me homesick for the US, but even better than most of the chicken you'd find there. Poutine was like a lovely chicken dinner in a bowl, but with a delicious Canadian twist. Our visiting friends loved it. Lots of different flavours to suit every palate. Go support this excellent local gem and have a beer at Ty Cwru while your at it!

Updated Dec 2024. We have become regulars here whenever we visit Llandudno and Conwy, which is now usually twice a year. Food is brilliant and Cai a perfect host, with the team in support providing excellent service. Dec 2019 What a find! We were a party of 7 at relatively short notice this week and the team very kindly managed to accommodate us, despite being incredibly busy pre Christmas. We had a fantastic meal, excellent service and exquisite food in a really nice environment and atmosphere. All the meals were wonderful.... Lamb, pork, duck, snails cooked to perfection. (We may also have contributed to a coffee avec brandy idea addition at the end of our meal?) We intend to visit again when we are in the area as we are not local, and will highly recommend Paysanne to those we know who visit the area, and if you are reading this review and uncertain as to whether you will like Paysanne, we would say don't hesitate, book it! It's fabulous! Looking forward to returning next year.

Attended a networking event with lunch (three tapas dishes each) - the food was awesome and great value. The owner is friendly, engaging and obviously passionate about good food. The staff were all great too.

Returning customer. An excellent little restaurant, the atmosphere is spot on and the food is truly delicious. Bethany and the staff are lovely and very welcoming, I only wish I found it sooner! I have returned many times and a trip to Anglesey is always calls for dinner at Sage..

Been meaning to stop here for quite a while.. so the first visit did not disappoint, we were lucky we had the warmth and sunshine to be able to sit outside comfortably whilst we had lunch, a couple of iced lattes and some fantastic food, welcomed by staff, served politely and made everything made our first experience and extremely positive one, could not recommend highly enough

Visited Cefn Hafod as a last minute meal out. Really nice to see a village pub still going. Good parking. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The food was fantastic, partner and I agreed the steak was the best we've ever had! Even the little one cleared his plate. Pudding was also delicious. A real hidden gem. Thank you, we will be back soon and will be telling all our family and friends!
