Pant-y-Gwydr restaurant

What a stunning French restaurant. Staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was amazing...this was my first visit and we will definately be returning very soon.

Brilliant meal and excellent service. Couldn't fault it at all! The dishes were authentic and cooked to perfection, the menu choices and wine list were excellent and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or a treat. We will be returning.

10 years ago I first discovered this restaurant when I lived in Swansea and I loved it back then. I have since turned vegan. French cuisine is classically animal product heavy and the French vegan cuisine I have tasted (including a vegan French restaurant in Paris!) has been very forgettable. I was flabbergasted and so excited to see the addition of so many vegan options on the menu! The dishes was thoughtful and creative and I couldn't wait to try.

The menu exceeded all expectations...
A thoughtful amuse bouche celebrating the humble delicious tomato was aburst with flavour
The Millefeuille of vegetables with a prominent earthy spinach sauce and also tasted the gateau de courgette with gently layered ribbons of courgette atop a delicious filling with a rich tomato sauce.
For main I indulged in the couscous/vegetable tagine and vegan tofu croquettes - beautifully sculpted and flavoursome croquettes and the vegetables sung in the tagine bathed in an umami rich sauce and never did I think cous cous could be cooked so beautifully. A carafe of Beaujolais to hand to complement these vegetables beautifully.

The piece de resistance was indeed dessert - I was concerned that I would never be able to taste the trio that is the incredible, irresistible, mouthwatering and ingenious "la vanille" - however a vegan version appeared on the menu and my dreams came true! Whilst it is challenging to substitute eggs in dessert - this was the best vegan version of creme brulee I have ever tasted. And wow - the raspberry sorbet - I was in heaven! (Sadly I was so in the moment I forgot to snap a pic!)

I am speechless and booking my next meal as we speak eventhough I now live 4 hours away! Worth traversing the country for without a doubt! I appreciate so much your exploration and embrace of plant based food 🙏
This is the best dining out vegan experience I have EVER experienced! Book now!

Booked table early as we were going to the grand. Haven't been here for a few years but was again not disappointed. Service was excellent and the food ...wow. we were given a cheese and chive taster followed by mushroom starter which was delicious. My wife had fillet rossini and I had chicken breast both with triple fries. Desserts were a strawberry sponge with cream dish and the other was triple ice cream
Finished off with an espresso.
Fabulous start to the evening. We will return

With widespread upheaval in the Hospitality industry, it is a challenging time to provide an excellent experience for the customer which justifies the costs associated with eating out. Pant-Y-Gwydr maintains an excellent standard throughout. A warm, welcoming setting is exemplified by the standard of service, managing the fine balance between being attentive but not intrusive.
The food is where pant-y-gwydr shines, with quality ingredients skillfully incorporated into adventurous but traditional dishes and cooked & presented perfectly. Although prices everywhere have risen, the pant-y-gwydr provides superb value for money considering the quality of food on offer, albeit at the premium end of the scale.
This is clearly not a restaurant for weekly casual dining, but is outstanding as a luxurious treat.

Just excellent , as always . Interesting menu , beautifully prepared and presented food with lovely FOH staff . Worth every penny .

Excellent quality genuine French food without a premium price. I was impressed with the customer service and the presentation in addition to every single dish had, which in turn is a mix of modern cuisine and classic inspirations.

Had a lovely meal this afternoon, beautiful food, well presented, decent size portions, tasted delicious. Decent disabled access with a wheelchair friendly toilet. Immaculately clean. Nice large tables, plenty of room I would highly recommend
