Rhos Harbour Bistro

It is unlikely that there is any other restaurant/bistro on the North Wales Coast that has a beach view like the Rhos Harbour Bistro. It is unique in its location with unbridled views across the Irish Sea - the perfect moving picture of calmness and tranquillity.

Built in the 1950s the Bistro, then known as Rhos Point Cafe, was established by a local entrepreneur called Charlie Payne. During the heyday of that time the cafe flourished and became a landmark for tourists and locals alike.

On the 27th March 2006, local businessman Neil Formstone took over the bistro, by then rather a shadow of its former self, and began a series of major refurbishments culminating in the building of today which can accommodate one hundred and fifty people. They now have three seating areas to choose from: inside, the bistro, at the rear their tea garden with views across the bay and at the front their patio area. This choice means, whatever the weather, you can choose to sit in a variety of comfortable surroundings.

Rhos Harbour Bistro has two very separate personalities. During the day, it is a cafeteria providing a selection of meals and snacks using fresh meat and vegetables from local suppliers. They also specialise in looking after families, they have child seats, both inside and out, and a special menu designed just for them. Instead of just the usual chips and beans they offer a variety of healthy options.

In the evening, from seven o'clock onwards, it is transformed into an idyllic candlelit restaurant; it has been designed to be spacious with a raised area giving you stunning views across the sea.
