The perfect stop for any meal if you find yourself in the Llanberis area…read more Pete's Eats is the mountain-climber's ideal hub before and after a climb. The first floor has a great open feeling with the help of large shop-style windows. Their breakfast is decent. I had the Small Breakfast, which is one fried egg, one medium-sized sausage link, large strip of bacon and two triangle hash browns. It seemed a hardy meal for the name, and turned out to be perfect to have just before heading out to tackle the ancient Parciau Hill Fort, which is over on Isle of Angelsey. Decent coffee. Soy milk available. Great dessert. Solid free Wi-Fi. Bright, cheery atmosphere with people coming and going and congregating or meditating quietly by themselves. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. They have many private toilets and a shower upstairs on the second floor, as well as an extensive map room with maps from all over the world filed away in flat files drawers. I understand Pete's Eats has sleeping quarters, too, with bunk beds mainly, some private quarters. On the main floor they have a small sharing library between both dining rooms.

Pete's Eats is a stalwart of the Snowdonian cullinary experience. As much a feature of the…read morelandscape as Snowdon itself, it can be relied upon for unwavering consistency in terms of the quality and quantity of the fare on offer. Situated on the High Street in Llanberis it's incredibly popular with mountain walkers, climbers and cyclists alike who visit the National Park. It's a deep and highly extraordinary shade of blue so you can't and shouldn't miss this incredible slab of a building. I've been visiting the place for twenty years and for most of that time it didn't seem to change at all: two spacious and well lit rooms with plenty of tables were surrounded with walls adorned by mesmerising photos of people (presumably customers, friends and family?) revelling in a dazzling array of outdoor pursuits, the majority of which focus on people balanced precariously on ridges, cliffs and daunting overhangs. But in recent years there have been many changes afoot at Pete's Eats. A back room has opened out on the ground floor with more seating for diners, giving the whole cafe an organic, sprawling feel. Not only do I now have trouble deciding what to choose from the extensive menu, I take just as much time deciding where to sit. Upstairs Pete's Eats continues on several floors, expanding its ambit to include internet facilities, a map room and library, shower rooms, toilets and the bunkhouse sleeping quarters - see website for booking details. After a good day walking in the mountains there is nothing better than refuelling at Pete's Eats. The menu runs from snacks such as chip butties, baked potatos, toasted and ordinary sandwiches and soups to the legendarily mighty all day breakfasts and astonishingly large mixed grills. Vegetarians are well catered for in the all day veggie breakfast section, which is always good to see. The menu then moves on to main courses such as lasagne, pies, tarts and other bakes, before extending its formidable reach towards curries. Again, vegetarians are well looked after with an assortment of options. Cakes and puddings close the menu. There are three remarkable things about Pete's Eats which deserve a mention to the uninitiated: i) pint mugs of tea bearing various Pete's Eats logos (the mugs themselves are also available to buy), ii) the enormously generous, overflowing portions iii) incredibly low prices - approx. £5 for the enormous mixed grill with chips. As we sat there chewing my partner commented that the black and white photo above the entrance to one of the ground floor rooms must be Pete himself, as it depicted a man in chef's gear brandishing a large knife outside the place. I headed to the counter to buy a couple of their cauldron-esque mugs and realised I was being served by the man himself. I commented on the fact that I'd been visiting the place for years and how great it was. He smiled and said that in thirty years it might not have made him a rich man, but it had indeed made him very happy. Seemed to me that the people on my side of the counter felt the same.

We went out and around in Caernarfon and had pretty good food.

It was almost like they from the hospitality program at the local high school. For instance we ordered a more expensive bottle of AOC wine. Bottle was opened before it arrived at the table and the wine was pretty bad.

Before ordering food, ask how long it will take and ask for a *realistic* estimate. We waited a quarter of an hour to order and then another hour to get our food. The pub itself is nice but the food service and food was such a let-down for hungry hikers. The food, once it arrived, was not worth the wait. The burger was dry, the vegetable curry was bland, scampi and chips (special of the day) were dry and the gammon steak was thin. Explore other options before you come to The Heights.

Friendly, attentive and smiling, even while putting up with our banter. Highly recommended restaurant.

There is some free car parking nearby but immediately outside the restaurant the car park is entered through a barrier to which you have to pay in order to gain access. There is a children's play area adjacent to the car park and you can also walk the length of the pier. Although children are made welcome as always in Italian restaurants, this is a lovely place to go for a grown up Italian meal. Although the usual pizzas and pastas are available they have additional more unusual menu items to tempt your appetite. The food is very well prepared and presented and the staff are friendly and make an effort to make the experience special.

An excellent restaurant. Good value and generous sized portions. It has the normal Italian food as…read moreyou would expect but also more adventurous things of which I have tried a few and they are just as delicious. The one BIG problem is that they do not answer their telephone, and there is no answerphone. It is a very good restaurant and as such is often busy and if you just turn up it is unlikely that you will get a table. So to reserve you MUST phone in the evening of the day before you want to go, as they only ever answer their phone in the evening. There is a car park right next to the restaurant with a barrier and a £1 charge, but there is plenty of free street parking nearby if you would rather avoid paying for parking. (It is not the restaurant's own car park, they have nothing to do with the charge, it is a council car park for people visiting the pier). It is also worth noting that this restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays and open evenings only, not lunchtimes. The staff are charming and go out of their way to make sure everything is to your satisfaction and they often stop and have a chat beyond just food, asking where you are from and what you do in life etc., which is always nice. All in all a fantastic restaurant that you can visit again and again as there is a good sized menu that is regularly changed according to season.
