Ynyshir Restaurant and Rooms

About

Ynyshir is a 5 star restaurant with rooms near the Snowdonia National Park, Aberystwyth and Machynlleth. The restaurant at Ynyshir holds 5 AA rosettes - the first and only ever in Wales and has held 1 Michelin star since 2014. It is currently Number 5 in the Good Food Guide and Gareth is their Chef of the Year. Ynyshir is run by Gareth Ward in the kitchen and Amelia Eiriksson out front, and their young and passionate team. The chefs serve the dishes. Ynyshir serves menus designed around meat and the best Wales has to offer. Their motto is ingredient led, flavour driven, fat fuelled, meat obsessed. They serve almost all wines by the glass, mostly natural or very low intervention. Dinner takes around 3 and a half hours and is a whole evening experience, not rushed. Ynyshir is decorated with sheep-skins, natural wood and natural pottery and has a fire burning throughout the year under the stars. It is in one of the most stunning places in Wales, and the most dramatic.
