This is the third time that we have visited the Poacher's Restaurant and it was as excellent as…read moreever. The service and friendliness of the staff was excellent as was the ambiance. Two of our party had bruschetta for starters and absolutely loved it . Main courses of salmon , beef and lamb were consumed with much enthusiasm and were rated very highly indeed. Bread and butter sticky toffee pudding was out of this world. Coffees were accompanied by oohs and arrs so I can only assume that they were superb. All in all an excellent restaurant with great staff and an extremely capable chef. Ten out of ten Thanks to everyone who contributed to make the visit an excellent one Sue,Margaret, Bob and Dave

Excellent restaurant. Dined there with 7 golfing friends, and all thought their food was delicious…read more I started with the mince meat covered with cheese, a house speciality which sounds much more filling than it really is; followed by pheasant and new potatoes (tender, full of flavor) and finished with treacle toffee pudding (not bad but I've had better - too much chocolate flavor for me). Others had fish cakes, pork tenderloin, lamb, and a variety of starters and desserts; but really everyone was complimentary of their food. Service was also above par. Friendly, attentive and smiling, even while putting up with our banter. Highly recommended restaurant.

BOOK AHEAD TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!…read more Right this place is a bugger to find, and when you do you might think ''What... I came all this way for this?'' Situated near the water is this little welsh pub that serves food 12 -2.15 and reopens for 6.30pm. I have been coming here for years and its NEVER let me down. Inside reminds me of my late nans room, pokey and full of brass-ware .. at the far back of the pub lies a more refined dining area with white table cloths. You can sit either in the pub to soak some local welsh atmosphere or retreat to the back. Arriving at 12 on the dot, already there were a couple of locals having a pint. The barman greeted us warmly and offered to bring our drinks over while we browsed the menu. Here you can choose from the seafood specials board, lunch and their everyday menu. I highly recommend anything that has fish in it as it is all locally sourced... After much oomming and ahhing I settled on the seafood linguine and my companions had the crab fishcakes. When the food arrived I was happy. The amount of seafood in my dish was incredible. Small and large prawns, salmon, smoked haddock, scallops and mussels all swimming in a sea of fresh homemade pasta... the sauce was a flavoursome creamy white broth which was not too dense. Everything just tasted so fresh , even the crab fish cakes served with homemade chips. By the time we were half way through our meal the place was full..again if you want to come here you must book to save disappointment. The prices are really reasonable too, our meal came to about £40 for the three of us including drinks!. Overall the fact you have to book no matter what day, says it all,,

Looking for somewhere to eat with a toddler in tow is never an easy thing. Take away the usual…read moresupects (McD's etc) and you're left with restaurants that might frown upon a bit of noise or maybe not offer a child-friendly menu and pubs which may or may not be suitable for children. We almost missed The Barn, hidden up a side street between the Rail station/bus terminus and what appears to be the main shopping street. Hidden behind a rather unattractive 6 foot wooden fence is the outside seating area with a bar/cafe servery. Going through he doors to inside you feel like you're going into a pub only there is no bar. Had we not had a hungry toddler with us we would, at this stage, have turned round - there were around 10 tables inside of which only one was occupied - NONE of the outdoor tables were taken. Not a good sign on a bank-holiday weekend. We were told to take our own menus and pick a table Service was perfunctory but food arrived swiftly and was fresh and, for what it was, tasty. Portion sizes were good. Gamon was moist and well-cooked. Lasagne appeared to live up to the claim that it was home-made and the huge plate of pasta served from the children's menu was enough to tempt our little one from his doldrums. Carbonated drinks were served from cans which was less than attractive but possibly better value than soda machines! The menu was varied and offered many pub style favorites. It certainly wasn't gourmet dining but was certainly acceptable for lunch. Toilet facilites were clean. Inside is not wheelchair accessible as there are a couple of steps but you could dine outside (and there is gazebo cover). Piped music provided the atmosphere although it was a radio station that was being played which was slightly odd. If the atmosphere could be improved then this has potential to be highly recommended as a family dining place. As it is it's just acceptable.

My travel companion and I had dinner at Dylan's on a recent trip and loved it so much we returned…read morethe following evening! Dylan's is in a beautiful location directly on the water, and the atmosphere is elegant but relaxed. There's lots of inexpensive public parking at the nearby beach, so there's no need to worry about finding a place to park. The first night, I ordered the crispy sea bass tacos, and the quality of the sea bass was sensational. The next night, I had the herb and parmesan crusted hake fillet, which if anything was even more delicious. The hake was possibly the best fish I've ever eaten, and the creamy mustard leeks were spectacular. After a lot of heavy pub food while traveling in Wales, the light and refined food at Dylan's was a welcome change. The only thing that I didn't like quite as much was the dessert: I ordered the cinnamon churros, and while they were by no means bad, they just didn't wow me the way the rest of the meal had. Our servers both evening were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciated that Dylan's is open until 11:00 p.m., as many of the restaurants we ate at in Wales closed considerably earlier. If you're in Criccieth, I'd certainly recommend Dylan's!

Restaurant with the best views in the UK. Probably…read more It's worth a visit just for the stunning views of Cader Idris through the massive front windows. Bwyty Mawddach is (I think) a beautifully converted barn, full of oak and slate and that breathtaking vista. It's run by Ifan and Amelie, with much of the lamb served in the restaurant farmed on the surrounding land by Ifan's brother. Downstairs is a lounge area, with the main seating area upstairs. I've always been in a big group every time I've been here and can attest that it's a great venue for friends and families. The food is largely local and seasonal. It's reasonably priced and there's a good selection. I've never had any complaints about the service.

A lovely restaurant in a picturesque village location…read more We're a family of 4 Vegans and we ate at Y Sgwâr yesterday evening. We only booked a few hours in advance of our reservation but as the owner is Vegan herself they were not fazed in the slightest by our dietary requirements and we were given a number of options for each course when we arrived. Starters: We had the tomato tart and soup. Both were lovely and there was a choice of two Vegan soups which came with bread and dairy free spread. Main Course: We had the Thai vegetable green curry with a dhaal side and the pancake. The curry itself and the side of dhaal were great. Both really flavoursome and tasty. The pancake was fantastic and was served as a burrito with mushrooms, spinach, couscous and other delights inside. I had it with rice but you can have chips or rosemary & lemon potatoes instead. Dessert: Not that we had much room for dessert after the excellent starter and main course! We all had the chocolate cake was absolutely wonderful! Moist with lots of tasty chocolate icing on top. Apparently it's always Vegan too. They gave us the option of either whipped soya cream (which we chose) or sorbet to accompany it. There were also lots of Vegan wines marked clearly on the menu. All in all a super meal in a lovely environment, served by great staff. Highly recommended. We will be going back regularly.

There is a large bar area where you can have a drink before being taking through to the dining room. There are two sittings for lunch and booking is strongly recommended as it's popular and has a lot of regular customers. The dining room itself is bright but full of classic old brown furniture. The meal is buffet style so good value I think and quite relaxed. The desserts especially were brilliant, so much choice! Go through and help yourself to coffee in the comfortable lounge area. They have a high chair so can accommodate small children and also a table tennis table for the older ones:)

But what we really enjoyed was the soup of the day - a broccoli and local cheese soup that was divine. Then came the main course. I had lamb that was amazing. My wife had a pork dish that was pretty fatty, hence the four stars rather than five this place could really support. The ambience was lovely. There is a hard one can sit in during nice weather. Lastly, and probably only secondary in importance to the quality of the food, is the excellence of the service. We were superbly looked after. Three staff took care of us very unobtrusively but effectively. I recommend this place.
