Watsons Bistro

Classic British food, great flavour combinations and the menu well thought out, with a nice wine selection. Fish skin wasn't crispy, which was a shame and the reason it wasn't 5*, but the rest was great. The custard tart was the real hero of the meal, and was absolutely heavenly. Service was very friendly.

Had been told it was good, how wrong could that be. Good was a terrible under statement , we rocked on up to the very unassuming entrance and dining area, We were shown to our seat in the conservatory lean to. The staff were very attentive and that specialness was now beginning to show in attentiveness the staff forged. Very small menu but even so the choice was already hard as most were very appealing along with a special board choice. from the great staff to the amazing food and choice we en-counted we were had a great dine out thanks

We went here per the recommendation of our bed & breakfast nearby and were sure glad we did! This was in August 2022. Service: fast and friendly. Food: We got two courses (31.25 pounds at the early bird rate) and tried the salmon, chicken, cheese cake, and sticky toffee pudding. All of these dishes were super yummy, but the pudding might have been our favorite.

Nice atmosphere. It’s cosy. Service was horrible. There were multiple service staff on site but they were not attentive or was not able action simple orders. Ordered 2 glasses of wine and it was not delivered till I asked. Ordered a bottle of still water that was not delivered as well. The worst part was the tap water bottle where the cap was mouldy. Ask for new bottle and again cap was mouldy. 3rd bottle was the same as well. Only highlight was the steak which was really well cooked. Definitely won’t be going back again.

We're sure to eat at Watson's every time we visit Conwy. Their dishes are always perfectly seasoned and generally rich and full of deep flavour rather than lighter and fresh flavoured. Presentation is impeccable, definitely a wow factor when your food arrives They really know how to treat lamb and fish (as you'd hope from a restaurant in a Welsh coastal town) and desserts are to die for

Fabulous food, great staff, lovely little restaurant tucked away at the top of Conwy. Definitely recommend and will be back again

Excellent service and food. Even though the menu wasn't huge everything we've tried was Excellent. Couldn't believe haddock could taste so good! Proper gourmet restaurant, would definitely recommend

Tasty, well presented and delightful food. Brilliantly located in Conwy town centre. An absolute must for anyone visiting or local. I have dined here on several occasions and am yet to be disappointed. Keep up the good work Watsons don't let that standard slip!

We had a terrific dinner in this little bistro on our recent weekend holiday in Conway. It is very close to the castle so after a long day of castle exploration, you can sit down to a very nice meal very close by. They have a nice wine list you can peruse if you desire. But what we really enjoyed was the soup of the day - a broccoli and local cheese soup that was divine. Then came the main course. I had lamb that was amazing. My wife had a pork dish that was pretty fatty, hence the four stars rather than five this place could really support. The ambience was lovely. There is a hard one can sit in during nice weather. Lastly, and probably only secondary in importance to the quality of the food, is the excellence of the service. We were superbly looked after. Three staff took care of us very unobtrusively but effectively. I recommend this place.

The area is a bit of a desert for good food, so this is a real find: a small friendly restaurant, tucked away close to the walls of this historic town. First impressions are a little puzzling - it looks as if you are entering a railway station or schoolroom, tucked away across a small car park. Inside is a single room with a conservatory, a high pitched ceiling and a bar at the end. The décor isn't anything to write home (lots of wood, books on shelves, fussy wallpaper) about but it is spacious and inoffensive. But the food makes up for it. The dishes are modern British in style, with locally sourced, fresh ingredients and imaginative menus. The portions are amazingly generous for the quality. Two starters, two mains and a pudding with wine came to £65. In London you would easily pay half as much again for the quality.

I will say I was disappointed in my main as my Yorkshire pudding was burned to bits and my beef rump roast had very inconsistent temperatures as some parts were very cold and some parts very hot making it not enjoyable at all. I did not enjoy eating that for that reason, but I was honest and shared this with the waitress. She, to my surprise, said for that reason my dessert would be on the house. The only things I did really enjoy were my 1st course, seasonal parsnip soup, and my 3rd course, dessert sticky toffee pudding.

1st unfavourable review ever by me and I would never give one unless I had mentioned it to the staff first. Was looking forward to the venue as it came recommended. Ordered the meal and the main was treacle lamb rump. Whilst waiting I noticed two people get served a meal which I guessed was the lamb rump. They struggled to cut into it and there was some face pulling but when checked no complaints. Our group of 4 all were served and the rump came and it was tough, very tough, half a carrot and a few sprigs of broccoli so this was not a meal to leave you full. When checked I said nothing as I did not fancy waiting for another meal to be cooked and delay everybody. When I paid the bill the waitress asked how the meal was. I said as you have asked I will give you feedback the lamb was tough. I was told by the waitress " you are the only one to complain and you should have said something when checked" . "Oh dear so it was my fault". I replied that I had watched two people to my right struggle to cut their rumps and pull faces at their meal and they had not complained when checked. No apology received just a sour face and she walked off. So the moral folks is do not be too polite when checked and if you are be prepared to give feedback be prepared to be blamed . Never mind the experience will not be repeated

Food and service excellent. Staff really friendly and went the extra mile on my mother in law's borthday. Would recommend.

Lovely Bistro tucked away below the city wall. We had no reservations (highly suggest you get one) but the hostess and chief made room for us. Food was delicious!!

The food, service, and drink here are top notch! The steak was well seasoned, cooked correctly, and came with a great caper sauce. Fantastic!

What a hidden gem! The food served here is superb. Quirky interior adds to the charm. The staff are very helpful. Well worth hunting out.

Excellent restaurant. My husband had the lamb which was excellent. The goat cheese appetizer and poached fruit appetizers were also amazing! The service was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Conwy or close. We did have reservations which I would recommend as the restaurant did fill up quickly. We got there at 6:15 and ate from the early bird menu.

Best food we had in the UK. Just happened to wander by and were seated even though we did not have reservations. Wonderful, friendly service. Wonderful seafood fritters. Fabulous seafood fricassee. Very charming and somewhat off the beaten path. Nontouristy. Our table backed up to bookshelf full of cookbooks, authored by a variety of chefs from Thomas Kelleher and the like and whoever was in the kitchen had obviously been reading them....

Great value. 2 adults, 2 kids, 3 drinks & a bottle of wine. Starters, main & dessert all round. £85 is nearly half the price of other local high rated eateries. Only complaint is that it was hard to find. I recommend you scope out the location before you go. Food was lovely & chef served dishes that weren't on the menu for today for other diners upon request. Cosy, welcoming and tasty. Hard to find but well worth the effort. Children's menu is very well priced allowing adults to indulge in the rest of the menu.

Nice food and friendly staff. My first time here last week and am happy to say it won't be my last :) thank you watsons
