Candles — Restaurant in Great Britain

Never had a bad meal or any negative visit to Candles. This quite possibly the best restaurant in Llandudno. Jocky and Monica always do their very best to accommodate and ensure your visit is special… and they never fail! We arranged for our daughter’s 18th birthday meal and with 16 people to cater for (and also the other patrons who were there too) they ensured all was well. The other staff were also great and serviced us to their abilities… and nothing was too much trouble. Yes Candles is a small establishment and is in a basement location but it delivers in quality, quantity and service. Now some might say the menu is expensive… but you can tell and see the thought and quality and service is top notch. One does not mind paying for great service and fantastic quality food… and to mention the amount of food you do get leaves me ashamed to actually having to leave some!

The Melon starter has plenty of additional fruit toppings that allows the incredible flavour and taste to come through. The Sizzling BBQ Chicken is fantastic. And the amount of side dishes be it chips, veg, salad or rice is phenomenal.

Just one thing I have never ever got round to trying in regards the sweets… the sweet board has a selection and written clearly is “when it’s gone it’s gone”… …never ever had the chance to try that as it’s always gone when I ask for it 😀

You will not be disappointed. Actually you will be disappointed… only if you do not book ahead of time. Do not miss this hidden gem in Llandudno if you ever visit.

Yes we know the owners personally… and if I were not to like something I would tell them. So I am in no way being biased in my review as I will always be truthful… and if something amis I would let Jocky know. But over the past 17 years of eating here on those special occasions it is our go-to choice to eat out.

We happened upon this restaurant a while ago and on further "investigation" we found there was an excellent choice of vegetarian food. Important to book as this place is busy. We both decided on the 3 course Vegetarian menu. I had mushrooms in breadcrumbs with homemade garlic mayo. My husband had the homemade mushroom soup. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. My husband had the sizzling barbeque quorn and I had the lasagna. Absolutely divine and really generous portions. I had the tiramisu for dessert, which was light and so yummy. My husband was too "full". Wimp... I fully recommend this restaurant, lovely fifties music, soft lighting and very pleasant waiting staff. We'll be back...with more people this time....

Possibly the worst restaurant I've been in. Pointed out to the waitress how l had difficulty finding the entrance, was told yeah, everyone says that! Just under &30 pounds for starter, main and desert. Was sitting there for 10 min after being taken to my table before the waiter asked me if I'd like a drink. Only 6 ppl in the place. Ordered a glass of wine, lasagne chips and salad. Eventually the chips and salad arrived. Then the lasagne, also in a separate shallow bowl, bubbling away, nuclear hot! When it got to a temp you possibly eat (tasteless) l mentioned to the waitress this wasn't what l was expecting, the chef burst in and was so abusive! On the plus side l got a free glass of wine and a...
