We ordered the lamb shank and lamb burger, food was delicious and the staff super friendly. Highly recommended! Prices reasonable.
I’m an Iranian visiting this city for travel, and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. I was truly impressed by the delicious food and the respectful, kind behavior of the staff. In my opinion, their duck dish was absolutely exceptional — one of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended
Called in as I liked the look of the place from outside. I wasn't disappointed! Had the Full Welsh. The empty plates says it all! I would recommend this place.
Had breakfast here and it was great! The breakfast bap is amazing value for money and I think it would be good as a takeaway if you're going for any outdoors activities. Full Welsh breakfast was really good as well. Carrot and coriander soup was super nice. Their cappucino was very smooth. The seating upstairs was really comfortable and spacious and their toilet is super clean
The interior and atmosphere are unique, the service is always friendly and great, and the food is exceptional. We've been coming here for 17 years and will come again. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. The place is also full of heritage, it’s truly a cultural landmark in Dolgellau.
A great find for a quick bite! Fantastic value, great food, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, and a whole lot of history to unpick with this treasure trove! A great education to go with breakfast. It was a pleasure for my eyes to see all the trinkets scattered around and be sure to venture upstairs to see more. A wonderful selection of home made cakes to finish off your experience.
What a wonderful little cafe/bistro, dog friendly seating downstairs too. We took a seat in the window, the cafe is spacious, cosy and full of character. Toilets are upstairs with plenty of seating in the most glorious room. The food (we had a full Welsh, coffee, tea and strawberry cheesecake) was delicious. The staff is friendly and polite. If we are visiting the area again we will absolutely visit again.
Came in after a long day and had a really nice spinach & ricotta lasagne. My partner had the vegan lentil pie and we both loved our food. Nice local welsh beers & ciders to make it go down! They were even so nice as to cook a steak for my dog to eat! Plus the building is over 400 years old! Worth a stop for sure x Thank you x
