I actually just stopped in for lunch while I was in Betws Y Coed. It looked super cute from the outside and was conveniently located on the main road. The menu had a nice variety and had reasonable prices. The restaurant is cozy, has a modern feel to it and has some lovely views if you get a seat next to the window.
The staff didn't seem overly enthusiastic to seat me... although I find a lot of places don't seem to be enthusiastic about seating one for any meal... Anyway, I had the soup of the day, which I believe was a tomato basil. It was nice and very warming on a windy February day. Then I had the Wild Mushroom Risotto. It was a very generous portion and it looked great. However, it had a very strong smell to it. On the menu, I don't remember it saying anything about Stilton Cheese, however I just checked their menu online and it mentions Stilton. Had I known that, I would not have ordered it as I am not a fan of Stilton, which is probably why I didn't really enjoy the risotto. I spent most of my lunch picking out the tiny mushrooms.
However, some of my students stopped in and said that not only were the prices reasonable for the sandwiches, but that they all enjoyed their sandwiches... especially the roasted vegetable with goats cheese. So that's why I decided to rate them 3 stars instead of just 2. If I am fortunate to visit Betws Y Coed again, I'd probably stop in and try something else on the menu. read more
