Early in 2005, Dave and Remy Vale came upon some available property in the village of Llandybie: two unused shops and a bedsit on the ground floor and a flat on the first floor - all conjoined. They moved into the upstairs flat and began their dream for a family restaurant. In August 2005, Valans Restaurant, located on Llandybie High Street, opened its doors for teas, coffees, snacks, lunches and evening meals - offering an exciting and varied menu including daily and weekly specials.

A typical dinner might consist of fillet of fresh Scottish loch salmon, followed by escalope of Castell Weble lamb served with a confit boneless shoulder of crisped lamb, creamy garlic potatoes, seasonal vegetables and redcurrant and lamb stock reduction.

Valans Restaurant places a real emphasis on first class food and service, local produce and Welsh recipes. Whether you simply want a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a full meal, you can expect a pleasant and warm welcome at Valans.
