What Isabella Robel doesn't like about Lakeside Bala:
Brought a friend as a special treat and was very disappointed. Food took a very long time and it was barely passable. The fries tasted like cold cardboard and the waitress offered to bring more fries that tasted the same. Then she offered to bring...one ceasar salad for two dishes that came with fries. The prices do not match the cuisine. View all feedback. What Isabella Robel likes about Lakeside Bala:
During a weekend visit we ended up staying in a cabin in Bala and a friend who is a local recommended we have breakfast here. They did not disappoint and although it was a rainy morning and we could not sit on the deck overlooking the lake it was still a very nice experience. Awesome freshly prepared food with great service. View all feedback.

Great breakfast with great lakeview on the dock and the staff was friendly. Omellette and Fritta were very delicious

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast out on the deck watching boats go by and enjoying the view. Fast and friendly service. Definitely recommend stopping here!

Service was friendly, food was so so. Large servings for lunch. Have not tried breakfast, might be better for that.

Lakeside Bala offers a beautiful lakeside dining experience with friendly service. While some reviews mention a decline in food quality and service, others rave about the fantastic breakfast and lunch options, with high marks for presentation and taste. The setting is highlighted as a major draw, with unparalleled views of the lake and a planned expansion to serve dinner and alcohol. Overall, Lakeside Bala remains a go-to spot for many visitors, despite some recent criticisms. The view, service, and food quality are consistently praised, making it a must-visit location in Bala for a delicious meal with a scenic backdrop.
