We decided to experience the Allt Yr Afon restaurant for my mother’s birthday and we were extremely surprised by the high quality of food and wonderfully satisfied with every dish. We travelled here during the first restrictions of COVID-19, when outdoor seating was only available, but this restaurant went the extra mile to provide outdoor seating as luxurious as anything you could find inside. Under heated canopies, pressed linen tablecloths, polished crockery and all, the dining experience was no way less enjoyable than that of any restaurant dining room.
The food was exquisite, all dishes made with fresh and local produce, added with a class of elegance and picture perfect presentation.
We ordered the Black Pudding Duck Egg which was perfectly poached and served with the most incredible Chorizo Mayo! We also tried the Crab Bisque which was full of flavour and a huge portion for a mere starter, as well as the Tempura Courgette Flower; crispy and served with a delicious sweet beetroot risotto!
Mains were a delight! I was personally blown away with my Fish Pie as it was presented in a form of a hearty and chunky Fish Stew, then delicately piped on top with crispy rich mashed potato! Everyone had a spoonful! We also chose the Turmeric Roast Cauliflower with coconut Dahl and the Fisherman’s lunch; all fresh fish served with a warm baguette.
Fantastic high quality and affordable menu, wonderful seating area, outside-dog friendly and extremely professional and...
Read moreIncredible meal - should be Michelin starred.
I cannot sing the praises of this Restaurant more, have eaten in many top establishments across the UK and Europe and this is honestly second to none.
Every course was just perfect and we were a party of 2 so I tasted most of the menu as we ordered different on all courses.
The beef and lamb on the mains incredibly well cooked as well as the pigeon starter, tender and perfectly accompanied. The smoke reveal at the table was a nice touch. Soufflé dessert was incredible.
Above and beyond were the extras - crab taster course and the beetroot goats cheese arancini so delicious.
You often get a sorbet as a pre dessert but here it was a beautiful picture (see photos) and totally delicious, honestly if that had been the end I would still have been happy.
We met the chef and I’d like to thank him for what was a truly excellent meal but also to Reece who was our front of house, he was very informative and his attention to detail, polite and pleasant chat throughout the meal were welcomed. He made sure we had everything we needed.
Best meal I’ve had in a very long time, thanks so much.

Read moreI recently visited the Allt Yr Afon to try their Fine Dining Menu and I was absolutely blown away from start to finish!!! The service was excellent, each member of staff was highly trained and knew the dishes perfectly, explaining each element in great detail when they brought each course to me. The quality, flavour and craftsmanship of every dish was incredible and better than anything I've ever experienced before.
In September last year I visited a Michelin Star restaurant in Canada, paid $500 and it wasn't a patch on this meal, that didn't include the wine pairing either!
This experience was exceptionally well priced and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The skill of their chefs is truly impressive, and the experience is amplified by the dressing of the room, the intimate seating (you're seated in a large, most beautiful, room with a reduced number of tables so that you are in a more private space) and the knowledge of the servers.
It was a magical evening with great company and spectacular food! What an...
