Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias, Colwyn Bay – Modern British Bistro with Michelin Bib Gourmand

Bryn's Kitchen

Just a few steps from the sea and sands of Porth Eirias, Bryn Williams’ bistro offers relaxed, modern dining with stunning coastal views. The open kitchen is the heart of the room, turning out straightforward, carefully sourced dishes that let the ingredients speak.

The menu showcases the best of Welsh produce, sourced locally wherever possible. Seafood takes centre stage—prawns, cod, mussels and more—served bistro-style. This is Modern British cooking with a clear sense of place, rooted in the coastline right outside the window.

The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, awarded for good quality, good value cooking. It was also named AA Restaurant of the Year for Wales 2019/20. These accolades reflect a kitchen that delivers consistent, thoughtful food without pretension.

The dog-friendly outdoor terrace is open daily, weather permitting, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a drink. Inside, the atmosphere is welcoming and unhurried, with the sea as a constant backdrop.

Menus change with the seasons, celebrating the finest local ingredients at their peak. Breakfast is served every day, alongside lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. There is also a takeaway café for a more casual bite. The wine and drinks list is curated to complement the food, with options by the glass or bottle.

For those who want to eat well by the sea, this is a place that delivers on its promise.
