The best British restaurants Wales

Excellence is the order of the day. Awarded with two rosettes, Blas Restaurant, which means 'Taste' in Welsh, offers a menu influenced by the season and choice regional produce. Here you will discover dishes designed to reflect Wales and its terroir. You'll love the crab appetizer, before discovering the catch of the day - worked with artichokes, or a 100% vegetable version with roasted celery, mushrooms and kale... For dessert, we let ourselves be tempted by a blueberry soufflé or a chocolate creamy dessert... Divine.

Paul Owen's restaurant, set in a beautiful ^19th-century mansion with a breathtaking view over the Tywi estuary, is often fully booked.

You can also come for breakfast and enjoy delicious eggs Benedict followed by pancakes with maple syrup... Divine! Plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. Excellent wine list. The Mansion House also has a number of guest rooms.
