Reviews in Porthmadog

Meal was absolutely brilliant, Plenty of food and very filling. Service great and very friendly . Would definitely visit again when we are back in the Area

We visited here on the day of our engagement to celebrate. I'd emailed shortly before arriving to inform them of our engagement to see if they could do anything to help us celebrate (unbeknown to my fiancé) - They were so nice! They put us on a quieter table, and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival. The staff were so excited for us and so caring, making a lovely fuss of us for our whole meal, without being over the top. Such a nice atmosphere and truly caring staff. The food was also epic! The pork belly was the best I've ever had and we had the nicest experience you could wish for. It really was the perfect end to a perfect day. We'll be back when visiting the area again and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. What's more, the value for money is exceptional.

Went to Y Sgwar for Sunday lunch on 21st April. A wonderful lunch as always. Great value for money. Great service. Pleasant atmosphere.

7 of us came in for Sunday lunch at 12. Warm welcome & seated promptly. Drinks and starters came out in no time, the mains (Sunday roasts) came out shortly after, all at once, nice and hot. Vegans in the group & special requests (extra yorkies) were accommodated. Everyone LOVED their food. None of us could fault it. As a side note - best vegan roast (with vegetable Wellington) we have found in a long time. Reasonably priced, especially if you go for 2 or 3 courses (1 course was enough for us!)

Great food,brilliant service. Reasonably priced.

We were recommended this restaurant on a recent cruise and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent and service was exceptional. Would love to go back if we are in the area again.

Great food and a good variety of options to choose from. Excellent service. A second visit and did not disappoint, thank you

Wonderful meal in a brilliant restaurant. We’ve eaten here before (a few years ago) and the restaurant now seems to be under new ownership-and what a great difference they’ve made. The menu is varied the quality of food is outstanding and the service is brilliant-we definitely won’t be leaving it a few years til our next visit!

Food was excellent, lovely atmosphere and very pleasant and helpful staff. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others. Diolch

This was the first visit of my wife and I to Y Sgwar and we were very impressed indeed. For various reasons we had to phone ahead to ask to delay our booking time by half an hour, and this was no trouble at all. On arrival, the welcome was warm and we were shown straight to our table. The choice on the menu was varied and interesting which, on the one hand, made the selection difficult, but on the other, encouraged us to come back to try the options we had not picked. The meal was very tasty, beautifully-presented and subtle; what we appreciated, given that we prefer light food, was that it was not at all heavy. Overall, we felt that everything at Y Sgwar was extremely well-judged, and we look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Fabulous! From arrival to departure this is a wonderful experience. The food is superb and the ambience - excellent restaurant meets “family” atmosphere- is great It’s a venue we book whenever we’re in the area, which is not as often as we would like, and we are never disappointed. The menu offers almost too many choices ( it tempts several return visits in a week, it’s so good) and the service is very good without too many visits to the table with “how’s the food”. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help. It’s a wonderful place and I’d highly recommend it

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Y Sgwar on 9th April. As on previous visits, the food was excellent quality, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, with portions being just right. Selection of wines on offer was also good. Service was super, we were looked after by two young waitresses who were friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the menu choices. I requested a window table which we were allocated. Would not hesitate to recommend and we look forward to our next visit.

5 star!

Superb meal at the square,service was amazing as always.celebrating my mums Birthday and Iolo made it extra special for her.Thankyou once again.

Incredible food as always and top service. A real treat. Diolch yn fawr

Lovely meal in a wonderful restaurant. We had dinner, steak and veal both were cooked to perfection. The fillet steak was cooked as requested, tasty and tender. The veal was beautiful however the brandy sauce was peppercorn and brandy and too strong for the meat. I only put a little on the plate. Dessert, we both had crème brûlée which was nice, bit too cold and could have done with a thicker sugar crisp top. That said the staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

Always excellent food, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

We ate at Y Sgwar on Saturday evening and had the early bird menu. The venue is beautiful, lots of character and welcomed by a beautiful roaring fire. Staff were attentive, friendly and everything felt positively personal from the moment we arrived. Food was exceptional, absolutely beautiful and great portion sizes. We will definitely be back, simply perfect.
