Cader Restaurant

The Minffordd Hotel in Talyllyn Valley, Mid Wales is set in some of the most breathtaking scenery in Britain, it is situated at the base of the Cader Idris with the summit being one and a half miles North West of the hotel. The original parts of the building are over 400 years old so as you would expect the walls are very thick and there are plenty of originally features such as the original wood beams which can be seen through out the building and the log fire is a key feature during the winter months.

The Cader Restaurant is open to non residents and serves excellent freshly prepared food using local Welsh suppliers and products; they do get very busy during weekends especially as their reputation grows, and the menu changes every day.

A typical dinner might commence with a choice of a trio of smoked salmon terrines with lemon dressed mixed leaves; rustic venison pate with warm toast and red onion marmalade or Cardigan Bay mussels cooked in white wine, cream and parsley.

Main dishes could offer grilled fillet of sea bass with a fennel and tarragon cream sauce; Aga roast Welsh lamb shank with grain mustard mash and red wine sauce or red pepper, leek and mushroom risotto with parmesan shavings, all served with potatoes and vegetables of the day or a mixed salad.

Finishing with bara brith and Welsh butter pudding with butterscotch sauce; poached pear with warm chocolate and baileys sauce with vanilla ice cream or a summer fruit pudding with lemon crème anglaise.
