2 Best Restaurants in Wales

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Wales has developed a thriving restaurant scene over the last decade or so, and not just in major towns. Some truly outstanding food can be found in rural pubs and hotel restaurants. More and more restaurants are creating dishes using fresh local ingredients—Welsh lamb, Welsh Black beef, Welsh cheeses, and seafood from the Welsh coast—that show off the best of the region's cuisine.

This charming little vegan bistro offers an interesting menu full of freshly cooked food. Expect copious Buddha bowls with a rainbow of vegetables as well as spicy dishes, wraps, and plenty of mouthwatering sweet treats. The coffee is pretty good, too.

This fashionable, cozy café-bar with a social conscience has plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians. During the day, the menu features mainly soups, sandwiches, and salads while in the evening there are sourdough pizzas and sharing boards—all made with local produce where possible. A popular student hangout, Hoogah has a good range of local craft beers and some great cocktails. There's usually live music on Saturday night.
