Meaning ‘seashore’ in Welsh, Lan y Môr is an apt name for this stunningly located beachside restaurant; grab a table on the enclosed terrace to make the most of the view. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re after ‘Sea’, ‘Pasture’ or ‘Land’, but in this location your eye is sure to be drawn to the oysters, ‘frockles’ (fried cockles) and fish of the day. Ensure you save some room for pudding, especially if the terrific chocolate and cherry cake is on the menu.
WebsiteGrove of Narberth, one of the finest country house hotels in Wales, is the setting for the Fernery, a nature-inspired restaurant that brings the outside in.

Dishes come with incredible levels of detail that belie the understated, somewhat cryptic menu descriptions such as 'Walled Garden'. The superb service ensures your experience unfolds flawlessly.

WebsiteFolklore, foraging and flavour guide your visit to this proudly Welsh restaurant. Occupying a lovingly converted former bank, there is a real sense of warmth to the place, with the passionate chef recounting stories while serving and bringing round ‘top ups’ of sauces and ingredients as you dine. From expertly foraged produce to Salt Marsh mutton, local ingredients bring with them a great burst of flavour in dishes like slow-cooked duck egg yolk with a yolk and fungi sauce. Extend your experience by joining one of their occasional foraging days.
WebsiteAs the name may have given away, this spacious restaurant lies in the heart of Tenby Golf Club, which also has rooms should you be planning a weekend away on the south Wales coast. An experienced local chef is at the helm, ensuring that the unpretentious and eminently appealing dishes are executed with care and make strong use of the wonderful Welsh larder; the daily made ale bread with whipped marmite butter will get your meal off to a great start. Ensure you go for a walk along the neighbouring beach either before or after you dine.
