    The Ferry Inn - Dark Cherry & Marzipan Bake with Vanilla Ice Cream (Vegan with Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream) £7.50

    The Ferry Inn is a very popular gastropub in an enviable position on the River Teifi. (The views…read moreare fantastic.) It has a cosy bar area, three inside eating areas with river views, two outside eating areas and a terrace to really enjoy the view. They are happy to accommodate diners with dogs (there are also dog-free areas) and it's very child-friendly (there's a children's menu, and some tables seat eight). The menu offers starters at £7.50-£7.95, mains around £18 (except fish and seafood at £24 and steak at £29), desserts at £7.50, as well as a choice of ice creams and sorbets (£3.50-£7.50). They offer a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. We chose Sea Bass served with Lemon Parsley Caper Butter, Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Garden Salad with Buckwheat & Broad Beans with Honey Mustard Sauce & New Leaf Microgreens (£24); and the one of the vegetarian options: Glamorgan Crumble a tower of Leeks, Carrot, Breadcrumbs & Mature Cheddar Cheese, Garlic & Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Glebelands Salad, Quinoa, Bean, Vegetable Salad & Fresh Herb White Sauce (£19.95). We followed this with Dark Cherry & Marzipan Bake Vanilla Ice Cream £7.50. Overall, the food was very good, except that the seabass was (disappointingly) over done and therefore falling apart. I always think it's a little odd serving a cold side salad on the side (or in my case underneath) a hot dish, although overall the flavours did work well together. The Glamorgan Crumble was very tasty. Service was a little manic: some staff seemed to run around all evening, and we were served by four different people during the evening. (One was very nice, two were a bit brusque.) They were busy, but we had booked (and were expecting) a table in the downstairs area with a river view, but were shown to a different part of the restaurant area. There were, however, a number of reserved tables which remained empty through the evening, so it seems like they had a few no-shows. Overall we had a nice evening: with two glasses of wine, the bill came to £75 for two, excluding service. It's firmly worth four stars, and of course you're paying for the location, but at these prices, getting the fish right and calmer service would land a five.

    We loved the Corn Mill so much, we came back twice, bringing friends the second time!…read more Recommended to us by a local shopkeeper, and were we ever so grateful! Both times that we came, the food was bursting with delicious, fresh flavors. The halloumi fries had the squeaky bite they're known for. The fish and chips had a light and crispy batter and flaky fish. The cheese and potato pie was creamy comfort. Both of these dishes were recommended and ordering twice. The steak sandwich was tender and meaty. Desserts were sweet, satisfying, and left us all feeling quite content after the savoriness of our meals. We had the same server both times and she was fantastic! She was friendly and attentive, making sure that we had everything plus any extras that were needed. It's got to be said that the view here is phenomenal! The Corn Mill hangs above the River Dee, which gives spectacular views. The patio area makes one feel like they're floating above the river, while the dining room's spacious windows give a full view. Before you leave, take a little walk outside and head on down to see the mill that gives the restaurant its name.

    If you are in the area, this is a must stop. It has fantastic views of the river. The food was…read morespectacular. Half of my group got vegetarian dishes and half did not. I personally ordered the wild boar pie and it was amazing!

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.
