What Derek L likes about Australia:
Great tasting real ales from the Purple Moose brewery. Good prices for fantastic ale. We didn’t eat there but the menu looked good and judging by the amount of people that came in just before they started serving evening meals it must be good, View all feedback. What Alain L doesn't like about Australia:
The worst meal ever. We waited well over one hour to be served. When delivered, the steak and ale pies were rock hard. We were told they were the last ones available. We returned them and asked for lasagne instead. We had to complain about the length of time taken. The other two had long finished their meals. A complete disaster. I would not even give such fare to my dog. View all feedback.

Tried again for lunch but nothing on. A bit hit and miss with food service and sometimes an odd atmosphere. Beer good though.

The Australia restaurant in Porthmadog offers a mix of experiences according to various reviews. One critic was extremely dissatisfied with the slow service and disappointing food quality, while another complained about the lack of truly gluten-free options. On the other hand, positive comments highlighted the excellent Purple Moose brewery ales, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food including vegan options. The rustic feel and attention to detail, such as charging stations for devices and clean facilities, were also appreciated. Overall, The Australia seems to be a popular choice for a hearty meal in a welcoming setting.
