Yr Hen Efail - Gwynedd

Nice little cafe with a good courtyard area for your dog to join you for some typical breakfast grub. All cooked very well including the veggie option. My only negative comment. Dolgellau has a large Welsh speaking population. It’s not unreasonable to address people with the assumption that they speak Cymraeg. A simple smile and a “sorry I don’t speak Welsh” is all it takes. Here the service was bordering on impolite with the baffled look of someone who had just been addressed in Serbo Croat!!

We had a fantastic breakfast at this restaurant on our second to last day in Dolgellau. I chose the Large option with double bacon, sausage, and hash brown, while Shona went for the smaller breakfast option that was still quite filling.

We stopped by this restaurant for lunch today, after trying most of the cafes in Dolgellau. This is the only one we would return to. The staff were all very friendly, the place was impeccably clean, the toilets were spotless, and the food was delicious. We tried three different meals and all of them were perfect. The prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommended. You must visit this restaurant, it's a must-try. We're looking forward to coming back again.

It’s slightly hidden, but is just off the Marian Car Park on the outskirts of the town. It’s really pleasant inside, not massive, so if it’s full make sure you come back. The serving team are really lovely. The food is delicious and freshly prepared, the kitchen is just behind the counter. Can definitely recommend, the menu is quite extensive for a small place too and the cream teas looked great. Might have one when I go back.

This was the best full English (or Welsh?) breakfast I have had in a cafe or hotel. The portion size and food quality were excellent, with a wide range of options including vegetarian choices. The staff were friendly, the location next to a car park was convenient, and the atmosphere inside was pleasant. I can't fault it. It's just a shame that it's 250 miles away from home!
