Whilst staying locally in Blaenau Festiniog we was recommend this place to eat and what a lovely place it was too. Service was good and the food was ample. Particularly enjoyed the welsh stew with artisan bread (yum yum). The atmosphere was relaxed and staff more than helpful.

Gwesty Ty Gorsaf Restaurant

Reviewed By Richard_W_Clements

The food all arrived cold. Many trimmings were substituted or missing with no warning, in some cases with inappropriate substitutions. None of it was to a good standard, but it was edible. It took a ridiculously long time to arrive. We complained and were offered half off the food bill, which we accepted.After a long day hill-walking, we were very hungry and ate most of the food.The next morning we were refused the breakfast that we'd paid for until we paid in full for the previous night's food. We were then threatened with the police being called if we refused to pay.At no stage had we refused to pay, and had not even asked for a price reduction. That was offered by the restaurant, and later withdrawn.We were eventually able to talk to the chef who was from Texas. He did cook an acceptable steak, but cremated everything else. He had an unrealistically high opinion of his own cooking, and is essentially incompetent to run a restaurant.They do seem to have high staff turnover though, so you may be lucky and get a better chef on your visit.

Croesor Isn’t particularly easy to access unless you’re a hiker so if you’re walking Cnicht, call in, the food is excellent - wide range of options, well presented & good to eat.They (just 3 of them) hosted a half-way check-point for a private walking event involving a lot of people & coped really well, giving pleasant, quick & obliging service. And free tap water, which was very considerate.Thank you all at Oriel Caffi.Hi Janet, Many thanks for your lovely positive review. We really enjoyed catering for everyone taking part in the event and hope to welcome you all back here in the near future. Thank you for all being such considerate and patient customers. Best wishes Bev

Caffi Colwyn

Situated in the heart of Beddgelert in the foothills of Snowdon, Cafe Colwyn and Tea Garden is a very popular and welcoming establishment. The comfortable, light and airy interior is complemented by a delightful riverside tea garden at the rear, where cus

The staff here were friendly and efficient . We had a lovely lunch but sat inside as the weather was a bit drizzly . My ciabatta and my husbands baguette were nicely cooked and mine decorated with a small salad . The tea was very nice as well , we regretfully declined cake or dessert as we would stop again later . We enjoyed our lunch there .

Hebog Cafe & Bistro

Reviewed By 592philr

We were looking for somewhere to have a late lunch. But also needed somewhere that took Apple Pay as we didn’t have any cash. We happened upon the Hedog cafe who did and opened up the closed outside space so we could sit with the dog. Which was a stroke of luck because the tables are next to the river and for a brief moment the sun made an appearance The service so far was excellent and we were hoping the food was OK. It was more than OK. The food was delicious. I had the club sandwich which was freshly made and presented with a mixed salad and crisps. The others had a mix of food all reported as equally good. So good we were too full for one of the equally delicious looking homemade cakes. Highly recommended

Bryn Arms

After reading some bad reviews about the Bryn Arms we decided to go in. Friday night was curry night, good choice as buffet style. Fair price. Staff very nice, owners are chatty. And if you ask nicely i am sure they wood make you a coffee.

Pengwern Arms

Reviewed By Sanquest-Jones

I believe it to be run by the locals, opening times are hit and miss as is the food. Menu is limited and quite often 2 or 3 meals are unavailable due to supplier issues? Staff were friendly so not all bad however the interior / exterior decor leave a lot to be desired.

Y Banc Tapas

Reviewed By NorahParry

Y Banc is an unique dining establishment in the centre of Porthmadog which is in a converted bank. We booked a table for 3 for a Friday evening at the end of September 2019 and when we arrived we found that we were in the private area of the former strong room. It was subtlety lit and cosy. We have been to Y Banc on least 2 other occasions and noticed some changes to the menu from the summer, items are now labelled, Earth, Farm, Field, Sea etc. Our selection of dishes included a vegan sharing platter, Snowdonia mushrooms, Menai mussels, patatas bravas, tandoori spiced cauliflower, sweet potato and maple fritters, a chicken special and a few meat based dishes. We had a short gap between appetisers and then the tapas arrived which was a free for all between the three of us sampling and sharing each other’s selections. That’s is the joy of Tapas, the sharing of experiences. At first I was concerned about sitting in the strong room, thinking we would be forgotten about, but no the staff were in and out regularly checking we were ok. We didn’t have a dessert this time we just relaxed with a coffee before heading for home. Hopefully we will be back at Y Banc soon.
