Charming bistro overlooking the Castle. Good menu and relaxed but exclusive atmosphere. Delicious food, promptly served and live piano music the night we were there. An oasis of calm eating in the centre of Cearnarfon.

Lovely meal, lovely staff - very knowledgable regarding menu options for those with food intolerances. Setting in the Old Courthouse was excellent - overlooking the castle. Thoroughly wonderful experience - thank you.

Had a beautiful meal in old courthouse, food and service was excellent, would have been better with a few more people in but it was 6 30 on a Wednesday

Fantastic food. Very well sourced ingredients We all agreed that all the food was excellent but the highlight was the lamb which we all thought was the best we’d ever had. Wine list well chosen. Rioja fantastic. Wonderful ambiance and we all loved the piano recital.

Excellent food, great service, lovely atmosphere and thoroughly good value for money. The best restaurant in Caernarfon by a long way. Highly recommended.

Recently on a short break, we stumbled on this venue, being a Thursday we chose not to dine that evening as only one table was occupied and very little atmosphere. We booked for the Friday assuming it would be busier and have a little more atmosphere, we were wrong as there was just one couple dining. I ordered linguine and my friend ordered 2 starters as a main, scallops and chicken wings. The food was placed in front of us and the waitress walked away. The scallops had no caviar so we pointed this out to the waitress who called someone else and skulked away. We were told the chef had no caviar so had given 1 extra scallop instead. We were not informed of the change at any time or given the opportunity to change the dish, there was no apology and it was as if they were doing a favour offering 1 extra scallop instead. We had no choice but to eat what we had been given and be thankful. Will not return due to the lack of customer service given

We had a lovely time at The Old Courthouse. We were a party of 7 and the booking process was straight forward and stress free. Between us, we had ordered most things on the menu and everyone enjoyed the food. Thank you to Moira and team for a great dining experience.

An exceptional meal with very friendly and helpful servers - very happy with our choice of what and where to eat.
