The Fanny Talbot

Tasting menu. They have set the bar high and are putting Barmouth on the map, literally, with AA 3 rosettes and the Michelin guide. My notes I took. Gift from the kitchen, Ham hock was tasty and meaty. Butter had a hint of toffee and a nutty flavour. Cod Loin Satay, sesame, miso. Cod was perfectly cooked. The satay, sesame miso, did not win me over straight away, but as I went on, I had to use a spoon to clean the rest. If no one were looking, I would have licked the bowl clean. Red Leg Partridge Parsnip, pancetta, Blackberry. Partridge is bursting with flavour, soft and goes really well with everything on the plate Reading the menu, this was the least dish I was looking forward to. But credit to the chef pairing this together. It was really good Stone Bass Jerusalem artichoke, kohlrabi, coastal herbs. Stone bass had a cracking aroma. Crispy skin, if I had to be picky, I say it wasn’t seasoned Black Beef Fillet Celeriac, hen of the woods, black garlic, beef sauce. Beef had a lot going on adequately; the black garlic cut through the beef sauce, leaving an amazing taste in my mouth while I waited for the rhubarb. Yorkshire Rhubarb Stem ginger, Yoghurt. This is a refreshing dish I’ve had. Make you feel like spring. The ginger does not overpower 63% Chocolate Hazelnut praline, cocoa nib ice cream. Last is a powerhouse, giving you the complete wow factor. I said to the chef, " Do not lose your pastry, Chef. He looked at me and said, "Is it me?" 🫣 This is up there with the best tasting menus. They all flowed perfectly. You could go on the journey the chef intended for you. #michalinguide #aarosette #food #holiday

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing — full of unique flavors that you won’t find anywhere else ( Taster Menu) Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and truly memorable. The ambience was perfect as well: warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were brilliant—attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Overall, a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Lovely hotel with a fantastic chef who gave my wife and I one of the best meals we have ever had,expensive but well worth the experience. The breakfast was also excellent served by a lovely lady called Sally.The bedroom was large with an en suite walk in shower which was great. Every where in the hotel was lovely and clean.The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Will certainly be back.

Best Hotel everOnly criticism would be for a mirror in the room to do makeup, and that's just being picky 🙃

Fantastic lunch at a reasonable price point (though note that a 10% service charge is added at the end). I recommend booking in advance as it seems to be a very popular spot. Would go back in a heartbeat - make sure to walk around the town and visit the stunning beach.

This place is amazing!! Me and my partner went there to celebrate my birthday and our engagement and we couldn’t have been more impressed!! We were warmly welcomed as we entered by both the manager and waitress, wished a happy birthday, congratulated on our engagement, told of anecdotes of one of their engagements and just thoroughly well looked after. The service was 10/10, no notes!! And the food, omg incredible is an understatement. I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur of fine food but dear god I’m going to try to be now because everything was just incredible. Seasoned and cooked to perfection we couldn’t have enjoyed the whole experience any more! Well done team!!!

Wow what a Sunday lunch! This meal was incredible across all courses. The staff were very warm and friendly. They went above and beyond for us yesterday. Savannah was exceptional and managed to fit us in following us booking the wrong day. Absolute star. Highly recommend this restaurant.

A great restaurant for true foodies. Beautifully presented food, with expertly combined flavours. Portion sizes were perfect to enjoy multiple dishes. We had a 3-course lunch and enjoyed every bit of it. Professional service. The drinks selection was excellent too.
