Yblac - Carta

We have a caravan in Borth and as we were after something a little special to celebrate we looked on the internet and came accross the website for Y Blac, the menu looked great as did the place so we decided to book, so glad we did it was just perfect. Friendly staff, great food and reasonably priced, we will definitely visit again!!!

The welcome here is friendly, and the beers are the best of Welsh beers well kept. But it's the food that is special. We came by chance and ate off the Christmas menu in the bar: excellent value for three courses. The meal was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. Our main course, in particular, was outstanding, loads of perfect vegetables with lovely touches, great meat. Couldn't fault anything: the owners clearly try really hard and this place deserves to be packed out.

Have been to this lovely place a few times with family including a toddler. The place is decorated with style and is spotlessly clean. The locally sourced food is beautifully cooked and presented. Good portions, good value and good choice, even providing a free Sunday lunch for my 2 year old with plastic cutlery. A lovely atmosphere with welsh speaking and friendly staff. A roaring real fire to sit by in the bar too. I often crave the Bread and Butter pudding there..... It would be worth visiting for that alone! Ver carta

Celebrated friend's birthday with Sunday lunch . Warm welcome and cosy on cold damp day. Nice choice of food for Sunday lunch with options for one, two or three courses. Very busy with many people and tables all booked. None of our party ordered starters. Unfortunately food took nearly an hour to arrive but staff were very apologetic and it was very nice when it arrived. So worth waiting for. Some had lamb some had beef (top marks for beef) and some had pork. All delicious with fab variety of veg served in separate dish and plenty of extra gravy. Only 3 could manage pudds. Would definitely recommend and return again .

Calling on the off chance whilst driving back to Aberystwyth we didn't hold too much hope in getting a table but we were very pleasantly surprised.A very warm welcome from the staff and a nice bar area set the tone for our evening, there was a very good selection of food with plenty available for vegetarians.The masala chicken was great and the sweet potato chips were a nice change from normal chips. The spiced aubergine was excellent and the kick was quite impressive (if you don't like spicy food might not be the best choice)A lovely evening in a nice setting with some very pleasant surroundings and interesting items of art (carving of Owain Glyndwr)

Came here for my aunt's 80th birthday party expecting average pub food. This place is seriously good. As we were a large party we had already chosen from a set menu and everyone said their dish was wonderful. The fish pie was the best I have ever tasted and the vegetarian option was light, tasty, delicious and did not involve the ubiquitous goat's cheese. My only gripe is that we were unable to finish the perfectly cooked vegetables, roasted snips, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, carrot, broccoli and potatoes. The hosts were lovely and friendly I am glad my relatives live in the village, the trip from West Yorkshire was worth it just for the food, never mind to see them and celebrate the birthd...

I have visited the Llew du (Black Lion) many times over the last few years and every time I have thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the relaxed atmosphere. The chef has put on a temporary menu before rolling out a new one in the spring and it had some delicious choices. My son and daughter in-law enjoyed a huge rib of beef to share whilst I chose the chicken and my husband the duck which were all delicious. There was the added bonus of a new children’s menu from which my sometimes picky grandson ate all his chicken, chips and carrots. My son enjoyed one of the locally brewed beers (the owners regularly change the type of local guest ales available). This truly is a gem in the Aberystwyth area a...

I booked the black lion for a friend's birthday celebration. We have a scale we work on budget, mid range blow out. This was on price for a special occasion but had the qualities of a . I booked for 8 people only 3 days in advance and they squeezed us in with no issues. Waitress was very welcoming (didn't catch her name) and knowledgeable of the menu. This is the type of place where you are really happy and satisfied with your choice but you still get food envy when your friends meal comes out. I had the Welsh rarebit for starter, followed by a crispy, crackled belly pork with creamed leeks and the lemon cheesecake for pudding. I also sampled the moroccan lamb, fish cakes and crumble after a...

My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic week in Tal-y-Bont, made extra special by having such a wonderful restaurant as yBlac for a dinner to look forward to after a day exploring. Everything about yBlac is exceptional, from a friendly and genuine welcome, to fine local beers and quality wines followed by a truly outstanding and varied menu. We didn't get to meet the chef but came as close as possible by dining on the excellent food that he and his staff produces. Wednesday is steak night at yBlac and I can honestly say that the sirloin, which I had twice and my wife once, was an outstanding piece of meat cooked perfectly to our requirements. The starters are interesting too from W... Ver carta
