OK, we all agree it’s pricey, but that’s the price you charge for a life-long passion! In fact, it’s not too bad, bearing in mind the run you get for your money. This is a family restaurant set up by a northern lad who has always been passionate about sea and fish. Quite often you get served what has been caught by the owner himself. I went there by chance, having climbed up the Great Orme and in need for nice food upon my descent… and since I love seafood I thought I’d go in. I had goats cheese with raspberry sauce and currants for a starter, and for the main course I chose a dish from the board menu: the delicious monkfish wrapped in parma ham served on sundried tomato risotto. This is the owner’s own recipe, and it was one of the most unique meals I had had. For a desert I ordered a strawberry cheesecake. I also tried Welsh whisky, the owner recommended Penderyn Sherrywood Whisky which, he said, would suit me better as a woman. Indeed, it is softer compared to other whiskys, with warm, ‘woody’ undertones.
The restaurant is located in a lovely street up from Llandudno Pier, so you can visit it before going for a walk on the Pier and the Promenade, or after you have had one. Needless to say, I will visit it again next time I’m in Llandudno.
