Wales Restaurant Guide

Cnapan Restaurant

Since 1983 the Lloyds and the Coopers have run this excellent establishment between them, an example of harmony which is reflected in the ambience of this handsome town house. The interior of the house is a delight, the dining room a temple dedicated to properly presented delicious food.

A very traditional, but with-it, Edwardian-style restaurant is the hub of this elegant hotel with wonderful views of the Welsh mountains. The well-tended gardens include herbs and salad ingredients and there is a feeling overall that everything is well under control, and confidence soars.

Corn Mill, The

The Corn Mill, a dramatic conversion from an old water mill on the River Dee, provides a wonderful setting in which to enjoy agreeable pub-grub of an above average standard. Try the bara brith bread and butter pudding for something quite different.

Cors Restaurant, The

How often one hears of locally sourced ingredients, but there are, of course, degrees of locality. At Cors it would hardly be possible to go more local and the results are spectacularly good; black beef, saltmarsh-reared lamb and smoked salmon come to mind.

Court Restaurant, The

Cutting Edge

As sure as night follows day so up-market restaurants follow politicians. Look therefore behind the Welsh National Assembly, beneath a set of law offices, to find Cutting Edge, an exercise in the modern, minimalist approach, where politicians of all parties forget their differences as they enjoy a cuisine that follows the classical tradition, with minimal frills.
