During our pampering session at the Quay hotel.. This gent…read morein the sauna recommended his restaurant down the road. Having had an acceptable bite to eat at the hotel the seed had been sown.. I really had the urge to try this French restaurant..technically we had to go this way anyway as it was located opposite the train station... Unfortunately it was not open until 7pm so we killed an hour at a local pub. Wandering back we walked into a very cosy place, adorned with collective French art. Luckily there were a couple of tables left ( I would book to save disappointmemt). The head of house gestured to the empty tables and invited us to sit anywhere. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he looked every bit the part in this starch white shirt and black apparel. For £22 You can select three courses from a designated menu or choose freely from the other...average starter costings were £6 varying from snails, soups, meats and seafood.. I love snails but had never tried a decent boulibasse..my mum looked over at another table and spied a woman dig into a large portion of crayfish. However she asked for the potted shrimp which turned out to be a completely different dish!! My soup was stunning, laced with herbs and spices elevating the generous chunks of fish...my mum's potted shrimp did look tiny in comparison and lots of fennel..tasty but I preferred mine. Torn between veal, duck and numerous other things for main I safely ordered the sea bass in butter and parsley sauce..when I say safe I mean..i was really full as I had not long eaten before coming here so fish seemed the lightest option..my mum followed suit and had the plaice cooked in the same manner. Both cost around £16.99 and it was refreshing to find accompiants included. A large potato gratin, sesame seeds carrots, broccoli and pickled cabbage landed along with a sizzling piece of fish. This was cooked perfectly..and I enjoyed every bite. We had pre ordered a glass of house wine to accompany our mains..this was served in two cute claret jugs..nice.touch. Despite our stomachs aching with so much food we could not resist the dessert menu..i had the cafe Garland which introduced a bit of fun on a plate. A fresh shot of berry jelly, espresso, macaroon and a mini creme brulee.. My mum had the ovaltine and whiskey icecream laced with meringue giving it a comforting texture.. With time running out to get our train we asked for the bill. My mum unknowingly had selected items from the £22.00 menu so everything turned out very reasonable. Overall a lovely experience and the entire room was mainly served by the one gent..if you stay at the Quay ditch their restaurant and come here for a more intimate experience

I've only been here once for the office Christmas party. I should point out that I am a francophobe…read moreso a French restaurant was always going to have it's work cut out with me. To be fair the food was decent enough if a bit expensive (although I wasn't paying!) and the waiter was a bit of a character - camp as a row of tents - which added to the occasion. Wouldn't pay to go there myself but it was OK.

The variety of food on offer is fair but would be better if the menu expanded. I have always left feeling well fed, which might surprise you if, like me, you were led to believe that French portions are on the petite side. The decor is a little out-dated but nice and comfortable. The size of the restaurant is kind of small but again, comfortable. The owner is friendly and approachable. The price is a little expensive but the food and atmosphere is nice and enjoyable, so I don't mind too much. I enjoy going there but will keep visits as a treat for special occasions.

Our hopes were high as we had passed by Stables a few times while in the area and, in spite of…read morebeing cautioned by locals to "try another place," we gave it a try. The outdoor dining area is well done, though pretty chilly on the afternoon we visited. The bar area was nothing special and was barely occupied by guests during our meal. I went with the Penne Paste which was just "OK"...nothing special to the taste and arrived promptly but barely warm. My dining partner's Herb Roasted Chicken was good but again, just warm. By the way, the Stables 200ml diet coke @ 2.99 is clearly gouging and well above other local restaurants. Once the food was dropped we never saw another staff member...no surprise. We and the three tables around us agreed the place is surviving on location and little else. Service, food quality and the local reputation were sub-par. Too bad but there are other nearby options who are interested in providing a good guest experience. Spend your money elsewhere.

The Stables is a part of the Royal Oak complex in Betws-y-Coed. There is plenty of outdoor seating…read moreavailable in the yard but there is also a nicely decorated interior - it's all beams, wood and brass. The bar offers a good selection of drinks and there is also a varied food menu which includes a wide selection of dishes ranging from mixed grills to pizza to currys. There's something for everyone. I opted for a medium spiced Chicken Tikka with rice (but could have had chips or half and half). Naan bread was available as a extra. Despite the bar being fairly busy the food arrived within ten minutes. Betws attracts lots of climbers and ramblers and clearly the portions are designed for people looking to refuel. Not only was the quality excellent, containing lots of chunks of chicken, but I got more than enough of it. If you're after a good feed, a nice drink and fast and efficient service then this is the place to go.

The Restaurant is licensed and they will cater for functions. It has a really relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

They do daily specials as well so it's not just pancakes, the specials are great home cooked meals and some delicious puddings.

I had the jammy wagon wheel and the banana, which were both excellent, and not cheap tasting chocolate ice cream which I'm really not a fan of. Prices are okay, staff are nice enough, tea cups as lamps and a bit of theming going on. Loos are a bit tatty, and can get not perfectly clean at busy periods.

On a side note, I've noticed that honeycomb is a very popular ice cream flavor in the UK. Anyways, I decided to go with a single cone of ferrero rocher and it was a pretty wimpy scoop for 2 pounds. Not very impressed by that. The flavor that I got was okay, but I was just overall a bit disappointed, and because of that, I probably wouldn't return to this ice cream place if I ever came back to Llandudno.
