Bistro Bermo

Really lovely food, great ambiance and very attentive service. Would definitely come back here again.

This restaurant is something else eaten a few times and food is always exceptional and service and atmosphere first class will be back

We’ve eaten here many times and are never disappointed. Today was a fairly impromptu Sunday lunch. The croquettes were delicious (I could have been happy just eating plate after plate of these!) and then we chose the duck with a honey, ginger and brandy sauce - the latter was so gorgeous my husband had an extra jug. We shared a chocolate dessert - sublime. All complemented by a Portuguese red. Thank you for a wonderful lunch on a grey Sunday.

I booked a table here for the Friday evening, it was so good I returned for dinner on the Saturday. Food is beautifully cooked. Presentation is fantastic too. An inventive and interesting menu. A tiny gem. You need to book to ensure you get a table. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and the imagination of the chef. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Will definitely return.

An absolute must try when in the area!! We had the loveliest meal for such a reasonable price, definitely recommend. The bistro is a tiny, cosy place run by a lovely couple. We had some fresh bread, butter and olive oil for appetizers, nice to start off the evening. We then had the orange and brandy duck parfait and sweet and sour prawn spring rolls for starters - both an absolute 10/10, easily the best parfait I ever had. The garnish combinations were brilliant, I believe it was toasted bread, cranberry and cucumber for the parfait, and some radish, cucumber and salad with the spring rolls. We then continued with the lamb and a steak, again both lovely meals. The steak was full of flavour and perfectly cooked medium-rare (as requested), the lamb had a lovely gravy on it which complemented the flavours perfectly. For desserts, we had creme brule and banoffee bread pudding. Such a nice way to end our evening. Portion sizes were reasonable and not too overwhelming. We could enjoy each meal without feeling too full at the end, but also well-fed as we left. I’d say it’s a great place for a romantic evening given the tunes and general atmosphere. Service was friendly but not too over the top, we were also promptly approached when our meals were finished. Our bill came to about £60 each, which is very reasonable for a bottle of red wine and a three course meal. Thank you Bistro Bermo for the great evening, we’ll be back!!

Best food from Barmouth! We had Easter lunch, was delicious, 5 stars, the meal cooked perfectly, very tasty , the staff lovely! Thank you for this beautiful day! We already miss your food!!! Highly recommend! Have been in other places over the years, but nothing compares with Bistro Bermo! Can't wait to see you again! Thank you!❤️

Wow! Small but elegant restaurant in the heart of Barmouth. (Book in advance) Absolutely amazing food. Started with the lobster bisque and the toasted goat cheese, very flavorful. For mains we decided with the duck (stupidly good) and cooked perfectly, the juices was mouthwatering. We also had the sea bass, which was a good size and delicious. Ended the night with the crème brûlée which was awfully good. 😊We were surprised & honoured to meet the owners, Jose who did the cooking and his wife served us. Wonderful people and could have talked to them all night, you can tell what this restaurant means to them. Can’t wait to be back. Jamie & Mary.

We made a restaurant reservation one day in advance. It is a tiny place with 7 tables, felt quite crowded. The interior had three fans running, but it was still uncomfortably warm. Without a reservation, it would have been challenging to secure a table. For our appetizers, we ordered pan-fried king scallops and chicken liver. The chicken liver had an exquisite, smooth texture, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It received top marks as an appetizer. Moving on to the main course, we opted for monkfish and an 8oz steak. Although the monkfish had a pleasing texture, it lacked any distinct flavor, which was disappointing. It felt like a missed opportunity to savor a flavorful dish. As for the steak, which I requested to be cooked medium-rare, it was slightly overdone and showed signs of being aged. This aspect left us somewhat dissatisfied with the main course. We approached the service staff to inquire about the lack of flavor in the monkfish. They consulted with the chef and offered to prepare a fresh portion for us, but we declined the offer. Despite the attentive service, overall, it was a dining experience that fell short of our expectations.
