The best restaurants Snowdonia

In the heart of Snowdonia, in the small village of Beddgelert, The Royal Goat is a popular restaurant with a traditional menu, concocted using local produce. We can also sleep there, in nice rooms. Some rooms accept the presence of small pets. However, in general, they would deserve a little refreshment both in terms of decoration and soundproofing... Breakfast is excellent! Between April ^1st and November ^1st, the owners ask to stay a minimum of two nights.

Situated in a small lane, this café is one of the founding members of Cilydd ("ensemble"): a consortium of twelve establishments in North Wales committed to promoting fair trade, local sourcing, etc. Wide choice of vegetarian dishes. You can come from breakfast (until 11:30 am), or for lunch. On the menu: sandwiches, burgers, soups or more hearty dishes such as pasta, grilled halloumi salad with broccoli and couscous, avocado toast... Nice drink menu.

We're in a great location, right in the center of Barmouth, a few meters from the beach and plenty of parking. A pleasant setting for this hotel restaurant, featuring Welsh lamb and locally caught fish. In summer, you can enjoy a pint and a fish & chip at one of the many tables on the street-side terrace or in the courtyard! In terms of accommodation, the rooms are a little old-fashioned in terms of decoration, but very comfortable and clean, they offer the minimum.

The origins of the Britannia Inn date back to the 17th century. Now run by the Botchett couple, this popular establishment on the port of Aberdovey is renowned for its iodized cuisine, especially its crab salad. We also love smoked salmon, mackerel and smoked haddock. Very good Cajun chicken for a change. When the sun is shining, we hurry to the terrace overlooking the Bay of Cardigan. As for the rooms, they are very pretty, cosy and comfortable, some of them with a superb view of the bay.

Certainly the oldest building in town, the most picturesque pub. This is where you meet all the locals and fishermen who will be delighted to make fun of the English with you! The pub takes its name from Jack, a black slave captured in Africa and who landed in Caernarfon in the mid-18th century, probably the first person of colour to be seen in Wales. As in the fairy tales, he married a Welsh woman and they had many children (seven)! We eat very well at this address. Really, it's worth it!

The inhabitants of Beddgelert are very proud of their ice cream parlour, which has been making its own products since 1970. He welcomes all suggestions for developing new recipes. Today, he has more than twenty-five fragrances to offer you. Moreover, he has won numerous awards for his ice creams in general or for specific flavours in particular (notably banoffee, mango, rum raisin, vanilla, chocolate...). A wide range of delicious pizzas can also be found on site.

Welsh and international cuisine, an elegant dining room and a garden overlooking the castle and the coast (ideal at sunset). In summer, you can take advantage of the pleasant tables set up in the garden. If the wind isn't blowing, you can take your time sipping a drink and eating a bite to admire the superb view of the bay and château. Try fish & chips, lamb or a burger. Nothing exceptional in terms of cuisine, but a very pleasant place to have a good time.

Very good restaurant and tea room. The building dates from 1606 and was once a reformatory. The place has a special atmosphere and to reach the restaurant on the first floor, you have to go through the old prison gate! For the meal, you'll fall for crab cake or fish pie. As a dish, try a meat with lamb or chicken for example or try the very good goat cheese soufflé! For dessert, choose pudding, crème brûlée or chocolate cake or simply Welsh cheese.
