They stock local organic vegetables, organic spirits and wines and have a deli counter to die for. Wonderful pates, tasty local cheeses. My favourites are the pickled garlic and stuffed jalapeno peppers. On top of that Edward, the owner, is passionate about what he does and is more than willing to let you try before you buy.

The Taj Mahal - Exquisite Bangladeshi & Indian Cuisine - is by far the best restaurant of…read moreMachynlleth indeed! I would say it is better than all of the Indian places in Aberystwyth, and I have never been to an Indian restaurant in North Wales. There must be some good ones, too somewhere up in the north of the country. In England my favourite city is Leicester for an Indian. The owners are very friendly guys, so is the staff. It is a take-away place, too but take-away is not for me really. I like to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. The interior looks Indian. There are some round tables and unlike too many Indian restaurants in Britain the tables are not too close to one another. Often there is Indian music being played. In the past we have often enjoyed a good meal there on birthdays, Valentine's Day, and we take friends and relatives to the restaurant. The price is okay, too. One cannot complain really. A chicken tikka mosala costs 7.95. The menu is so varied and I often do not know what to choose from. I simply like everything. They do oriental starters, tandoori dishes, specialities, balti bhoona, tandoori special bhoona, balti dopiaza, tandoori special dopiaza, balti jalfrezi, tandoori special jalfrezi, balti pathia dish, balti rogan josh, tandoori special rogan, balti sag walla, malaya, korma, dhansak, madras, vindaloo -ohh, a little bit hot but nice!!, curry, biryani dishes. There's a lot of vegetable side dishes to have and rice, of course. I love the peshwari nan with coconut but the garlic nan is good, too. Do not forget the chutney and pickle tray. I say Cheers with a good Indian Kingfisher beer!

Growing up in Dolgellau, this was always the place I imagined I could go to when I grew up! A tiny…read morebistro run by Dylan Rowlands since 1988, it's without doubt the best restaurant in Dolgellau (although there's not much competition), located slap-bang in the middle of town and has been included in the Good Food Guide every year since 1990. Dylan's menus are varied and constantly changing, and the food is invariably delicious. Winos take note - the wine-list is nationally renowned and you can buy some of Dylan's discoveries to take home. He also has regular wine-tasting evenings. Open Thurs-Sat evenings and in the day for coffee/cake/tapas. Book in advance, especially if you're a large group (we regularly go in a group of around 10 at Christmas and have a great time). Service is good and bilingual. I'd especially recommend the mashed potato (comes with the food anyway). Oh, and the other veg are delish too.

It was stupendous value for money - I eat in cities mostly and it is so hard to find gems like this. Starters and puds most excellent though my fish was a little overdone (vegetables perfect!) but in all other respects it earned top marks. I'll go out of my way to eat here again - thanks to the previous reviewer for noting it is closed evenings Sunday through Wednesday.

Menu even has boat number next to the fish. Around 12 seats inside and perhaps place for 20 or so on the outdoor deck when weather permits.

If you are in the area it is a must visit but given the small size best make a reservation.

The chef knows how to layer subtle flavors so that the dish ends up surpassing the ingredients he (or she?) uses. I ordered the £9.95 "Meal Deal" of Risotto, but this had to be the best Risotto I've ever eaten. Other family members ordered a plate of prawns, smoked salmon and soup (£10.95), and a rarebit and soup (£6.95). We shared a cheese platter (£8.50) for dessert. Every bite was exquisite. Our server, Huw, also deserves high praise. He understands fine dining, met our every need, and deserved a nice tip, which we were more than happy to leave.
