Llandudno Restaurant Guide

With its “fantastic location”, “very good service” and a “great simple menu cooked extremely well”, this modern beachside venture is widely recognised as one of the better places to eat on the north Wales coast. Denbigh-born chef Bryn Williams sold his London flagship Odette’s in May 2024 to ‘spend more time in Wales’ – which could benefit Porth Eirias. He is scheduled to open a new venue not far away at Theatr Clwyd in Mold next year.

“Not the easiest place to find, but worth the effort” – local-born Nick Rudge’s small three-year-old is modern in terms of decor but occupies a period building with large windows at the heart of this historic town on the Welsh coast. He brings skills honed over the stoves of The Fat Duck to realise a high-quality tasting menu for £95 per person in the evening: reports say “the young and enthusiastic team are producing very good food with a difference and are destined for great things”.
