Rostis were large and filling but glad we ordered some side veg. Very nice wine options by the glass. Restaurant full and need to book. ask for window seat if possible for view of Sea/ sunset No children’s menu but pizzas were available plus meat/ veggie options. Staff tidying up and ready to finish by 9:30/10 pm so we didn’t linger for coffee. I think they had been working since lunch looked pretty tired !

We set out to try and find a restaurant or pub that served something a little better than pub grub and pizza. Our first two evenings were spent at nearby pubs, they were fine but the menu choice was limited and it was ok pub grub at both. We settled on the Norbar having driven passed it and like the location and general look of the place. The online menu looked good so we booked in for a Wednesday night, the only night they were open during our stay. Firstly the location is beautiful, high on a hill overlooking the countryside and the sea. We were greeted by some lovely staff and when it was pointed out that I was deaf and would struggle to hear, the waitress put herself out to communicate and find a suitable table away from noise such as music speakers, which is unusual and very much appreciated. The menu isn’t massive but a good selection of meals which would appeal to most people. We had fish starters and mains followed by a dessert and I have to say we were very pleased with everything we ate. All the food was tasty and well presented. The restaurant was almost full on a Wednesday evening which, must be testimony to its quality amongst a desert of quality restaurants in the area. If I ever go back to this area this restaurant will be on my must visit list for eating.

Our table looked straight out over the sea if you ignore the road directly below! so we had a perfect view of the sun setting over the waves. The food was very good. My husband and I love seafood but the restaurant also has a pizza oven so my 14 year old daughter was happy too! I had scallops to start with were delicious if a little expensive £12 for 3 then sea bass which was really good. The food was just the right level of fancy! The staff were very friendly and the food arrived quite quickly. I was quite surprised that it wasn't table service but it didn't spoil a lovely experience. I'd definitely seek it out if you're a foodie visiting Barmouth!

There were three of us, including a six-year-old, and we shared a Tomahawk steak, lobster, and a couple of sides. Everything was cooked to perfection. The location was lovely, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We especially appreciated the dog-friendly area. If you're a fan of steak...

The bar staff was extremely impolite. Uncertain if the atmosphere or location is worth the high prices or the unfriendly staff. read more The bar staff was extremely impolite. Uncertain if the atmosphere or location is worth the high prices or the unfriendly staff.
