- 

WALES has its fair share of amazing restaurants, some of which have become popular with locals and visitors alike, while others have received international recognition and received countless awards.

And sometimes, we are lucky enough to enjoy their delicious food and impeccable surroundings. While some restaurants may focus very much on our amazing coastlines and countryside, others look closer to home to create a memorable culinary experience.

Here is a list of the best restaurants in Wales with the most beautiful interiors....

1. RHOSYN AT PENALLY ABBEY, TENBY

Rhosyn means “rose” in Welsh and, while you'll find plenty of those in the garden, beauty can also be found within the walls of the restored country house of Penally Abbey in Pembrokeshire.

The small restaurant is bursting with character - from its beautiful wallpaper to its fireplace and arched window frames. The menu is just as memorable as its decor, having made it on to the Michelin guide.

Its review reads: "The gorgeous setting provides a calming atmosphere in which to dine, with a tasting menu or an à la carte to choose from. The seasonally guided cooking is modern in execution but rooted in tried-and-tested flavours we all know and love. Pembrokeshire is well-represented on the menu, so look out for delicious local lamb and some superb new potatoes."

2. ROOTS RESTAURANT AT LLANERCH VINEYARD, HENSOL

Llanerch Vineyard blends rural charm with modern elegance, with its Roots Restaurant offering a refined interior. The award winning restaurant in the Vale of Glamorgan has a beautiful tree display, a trendy bar and comfy seating.

It’s no wonder this venue is a popular destination for weddings, weekend getaways and wine lovers alike who are seeking quiet luxury in the middle of the countryside.
