Deganwy, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“The only recognised fish restaurant in the area” – this Grade II listed building has housed Don & Gill Hadwin’s split-level venture for two decades, with an informal bistro downstairs and a Victorian-style dining room on the upper level.

There’s no dissent about the “great setting” of this “busy, buzzy” modern waterfront establishment, overlooking the Menai Straits; the food, however, tends not to live up to it, being “competent rather than interesting” (though “vegetarian dishes perform better than fish”). Despite recurrent grumbles, the business opened its fourth North Wales link in September 2023: a baked goods and general store, on Conwy’s High Street, and with a restaurant offering epic views to the castle.
