Restaurants in Carmarthen

The Farmers Arms

What can I say about this place. Superb service, food to die for, portions were huge and very reasonably priced, the ambiance was relaxed, welcoming and unhurried. Our dogs were spoilt. We left feeling like we would not eat in a week. You enter the pub as a stranger and leave feeling like it's your local. Best of all no intrusive music. Thank you for a brilliant evening.

West End Fish and chips

I first ate here in 1980, and although it has changed hands it's still going strong which is a good thing and the present owners are carrying on the good work. The staff are polite and the service is good. Tasty fish and chips.

Taste Of Thailand

I followed my nose to this little place while waiting for my lunch from elsewhere. After a nice chat with the lady serving and an unprompted strong recommendation from a customer I came back for lunch on Tuesday. The Panang was lovely! So lovely that I’m heading back on Friday to get takeaway for eight of us ?

George's Fish & Chips Of St Clears

Wonderful fish and chips! Really friendly service and the food was ready nice and quickly too. We're here visiting family, but will be sure to visit when we are back this way again!

Cwrw

Fantastic bar where you can drink a variety of craft ales, lagers + ciders, a friendly mixed crowd, an enjoyable atmosphere where you can listen to grass roots music usually at the weekend or open mic, comedy or games nights during the week. Well away from the usually crowd, I’d highly recommend as the best bar in Carmarthen.

The Warren

Brilliant food, just delicous. Very atmospheric, not too crowded, just right. Drinks were great aswell. Coffee was just perfect. Recommend the espresso. Also a big plus is the responsibly farmed and locally sourced ingredients and thought behind every product. Local must-visit!

Tafarn Tanerdy

The servers were all Absolutely amazing. Catering for our picky eater children’s requests on how their food is served to them. Particularly Becci one of the new servers to the team. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and completely comfortable. So much so my little boy who’s 5 asked if she could come to our house to play. The food was top notch as usual with great portion size and quality. Highly recommend and one of our favourite restaurants as a family

Hagans Cafe & Chip Shop

Delicious freshly cooked fish and chips, the batter on the jumbo sausage is lovely and light and very crispy. We always go in when we’re in Carmarthen and the guy that serves is always smiling and so friendly.

Cinnamon Indian cuisine

Delicious food and lovely service!

Had a wonderful dining experience at Cinnamon Indian Cuisine in Carmarthen. The food was full of flavour—perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. We especially loved the [mention a dish if you’d like, e.g., butter chicken or garlic naan].

The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, perfect for a family dinner or a quiet meal out.

Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve tried in Wales. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Cofio Lounge

Go and have a look at the old courtroom upstairs near the toilets.
Food as always is good.
Good use of an old building and I guess a way of preserving it?

Coffee#1 Carmarthen

Honestly the best coffee around. Have had the smooth and dark roast and its consistently good coffee. Plenty of seating as additional seats upstairs and always a good atmosphere.

St Catherines Walk

Went for a family meal before the Cinema. We’ve eaten at the Carmarthen branch several times and it never disappoints. Fast & friendly service & the salad bar is always a hit. We were greeted & served by Lowri who I must say made our meal experience even more amazing….thank you Lowri for such great service…you were polite, friendly, very helpful & efficient. Highly recommend this Harvester *****

The Dog & Piano - 4-6 Water St , Water St - SA31 1PY

Elaichi

Delicious food and great service!

We had a lovely dinner at Elaichi in St Clears. The food was full of flavour and freshly cooked — everything from the starters to the main course was spot on. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome.

Toby Carvery Carmarthen

Lovely food yesterday and thank you to our server Fahran for being so attentive! She couldn’t do enough for us and was a pleasure to have food here with such a happy and helpful person!

Pizza Express

Had a perfectly lovely pre-cinema pizza for 2. Drinks arrived swiftly. Starter of doppio dough balls plus 2 pizzas on the buy-one-get-one offer were hot & delicious. Server Adrian was attentive & helpful regarding the menu (& generous with the salad dressing ?). Thank you!

Caraway

We turned up, three families comprising 6 adults and 5 children from 3 to 15, with a motorhome, camper van and a car after a long weekend camping trip. Plenty of room in the car park first of all and a large airy pub with a garden, places for the kids to play and a wonderful little nook tucked away at the back and filled with toys for the little ones. Toilets plentiful and clean.
We had a big table towards the back of the pub where it was quiet and so we didn’t disturb anyone else.
Tried to order on the app and failed so we had to order at the bar. Several items out of stock - the fish and chips and steak pie - which was a shame but it was a Monday so we guessed they’d been busy the previous day.
Food was a bit of a wait but EVERYTHING for 11 diners arrived on the table at the same time which was great. Food was tasty and everyone was happy with their choices. Staff were great.
I would definitely stop off here again on our way home from West Wales, a top find.

USA Pizza

Absolutely lovely food , brilliant prices and very nice and polite staff

Vegetarian options: Salad and other options available

Dietary restrictions: Very understanding

Parking: A good couple

Kid-friendliness: So lovely to the young peers in Carmarthen very welcoming

Plume of Feathers Inn

Great little venue in Carmarthen. The place is very small and with the duke box kicking out tunes it was hard to have a conversation. If you’re looking for somewhere with a great atmosphere this is the place to go

Mansel Arms

Visited this evening as a table of 7; The staff were most helpful and very welcoming. Their patience with 2 autistic children was impeccable and a true credit to you! Food was beautiful and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Wheaten Sheaf

Great to see this little gem reopened with new manager. Cosy, typical pub with no frills. Dog friendly & dart board. Needs more support to do well.... they deserve it.

The White Lion Inn

Traditional but dated pub with a homely touch was almost like being sat in your Nan's living room. Owners were so friendly and accommodating giving our dog a bowl of water and adding more logs to the fire. Food was really lovely only fault steak wasn't cooked to how we asked but even so was still delicious. Chips were insane home cooked and portions were huge. Lovely little find.

The Cross House Inn

Haven't rated the food as we only had a bag of crisps with a beer. ( They were lovely crisps though)
Lovely service from the chatty barman, who made us feel welcome.

Inn At The Sticks

An absolutely wonderful dining experience; managed to get a table on a Tuesday last minute. The food was brilliant, really well done & the service was friendly & informative. The setting was intimate, but cosy enough with a lovely atmosphere. Having wanted to come for such a long time, it was definitely worth the wait.
Diolch yn fawr!

Y Polyn

We booked here after a recommendation from our Hotelier. We were not disappointed. It is high class dining with a welsh spin. The food is expertly cooked and presented, with developing tastes making every mouthful a joy. I was concerned that I would be impressed but hungry when initially presented with the main, however this doubts were dismissed by the end of the meal. It was thoroughly satisfying. The White Chocolate Cheesecake dessert was incredible and really was a highlight.

This place is in the good food guide and the Michelin guide book, I would say though from food this good it needs a Michelin star.

Reservation is essential and it is thoroughly worth it. 5*

The New Curiosity

Absolutely love the food in this place. It's a bonus that a majority of the menu is gluten free. I will always recommend The New Curiosity to friends and family, as the food is consistently well cooked and presented. A relaxed atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff.

Corvus Inn

Festive menu is absolutely amazing. Huge portions for such a great price. Tried the yorkshire pudding wrap and festive chips. Homemade Yorkshire pudding was stuffed with a side of roast potatoes and a jug of gravy. Huge bowl of festive chips loaded with turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets and gravy. Lovely atmosphere, freezing cold outside but lovely and toasty inside the restaurant.

Dexters

First time dining at Dexter's. Great atmosphere, if a little dark inside dining.
Good menu, plus the steak options.
We were a large party and all food was cooked and presented well.

The Butchers Arms

I rang in the afternoon for a big table with kids. They don't open until 6 so the lady kindly took a pre-order and had our food ready. Staff were very friendly and polite and the food was delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

Railway Hotel

We had the pleasure of visiting The Railway Ravers recently and were absolutely blown away. The food was absolutely lovely – freshly made, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care.
Toni and Angharad were amazing hosts. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Their warmth and hospitality really made the experience special.
We only planned to pop in for an hour, but ended up staying all day – that says it all! If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Morgans Traditional Chippy

Called for lunch today. Had a great welcome from friendly staff. One of us had haddock and one cod bites both with chips and bread and butter. One can and one coffee. The food was cooked freshly but not too long a wait. The food was piping hot and very tasty. We will return.

The Blue Bell Inn

The only combination pub/Chinese restaurant I've seen! It's in a village so everyone looks round as you enter but as soon as you go to the counter they carry on about their business.
I had the special chow mein takeaway, it was excellent, with gravy not dry. It looks like there's parking behind but I parked in front so I don't know.

Castle Inn Llansteffan

Stopped by here during a camping trip for a friend’s birthday over the weekend. The fact there were 11 of us and the pub was already busy because of the Cup final didn’t phase the staff at all. They were incredibly welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious. Perfectly cooked chips! Great selection of beers including the locally brewed Llansteffan ale which I’d highly recommend. Incredibly friendly locals too. Fair to say we felt right at home here!

Stag & Pheasant

I highly recommend this pub. Superb real ales also Camden “Hells” lager. Dogs are welcome and dog treats are available at the bar. Plenty of sports on the two TV’s and the locals are friendly. Beer garden at the rear.

Espresso yourself

Really kind smiley staff, lovely Atmosphere, clean and delicious food! I have been here a lot now and they don't ever disappoint me. A nice range of food, and when I requested if I could slightly adapt a meal today Jasmin happily helped. The meal was perfect for my nutrition plan I'm on, so I'm really greatful for their kindness. It's a place I know I can eat. I like their decorations and style in the cafe and cute little afferminations around the place. Great and welcoming place.

Rose and Crown Hotel

lovely food. fresh and homemade. although the menu didn't highlight ceoliac friendly the staff couldn't be more accommodating for my daughter. staff were friendly, helpful and happy! would highly recommend and will be back. wide range ofcdrinks too, including variety of non alcohol options.

Club Mambo

First time clubbing here in a little while and I can definitely say we will be coming back.brilliant night,atmosphere was banging ? really happy vibes ✅ happy and helpful staff ✅ and happy me ✅?

Santa Clara Inn

Love the Santa, and the staff, very welcoming home feel pub everyone is so friendly, beer is great, you won’t be disappointed. Always a good laugh. Highly recommend

Oriental Garden

Excellent food as always from The Oriental Garden. Have been coming here for years and it is consistently tasty. Nice portions as well. The best in Carmarthen definitely ?

Springwell Inn

7 of us booked a table on the 19th of july and werent dissapointed , the fish and chips were delicious,which two of us ordered , our grandsons steak was done perfect so was my sons burger and fries , the chicken keebabs with salad was another lovely meal , the two children had home made chicken nuggets which they loved , we all enjoyed our meals and the staff were very helpfull , it would have been lovely to see a pasta dish on the menu also a steak pie my favourite , also a curry option vegatable or meat curry would be a lovely addition to the menu , but apart from that the food was delicious and we will definately be eating there again and would recomend it as a great place to enjoy a lovely meal

Pantri Blakeman Restaurant

Gem in the heart of Carmarthen. My party and I were on a brief visit to the old country from California/Massachusetts and had the great fortune of stumbling upon this joint. Perhaps the best local option for traditional Welsh foods—cawl, laverbread, cockles, etc.—and their “milky coffee” was to die for! The two owners offered us some lovely conversation, improved my pronunciation of Welsh words, and gave fantastic insider recommendations for sites to see in the area. Not to mention that the space is littered with interesting pictures and artifacts providing a glimpse into regional history. Pantri Blakeman will certainly be my first stop if I find myself in Carmarthen again.

Coracle Fish Bar

I started visiting The Coracle decades ago, when I was a student at Dyfed College of Art. I haven't lived in Carmarthen since then, but whenever I'm in the area I call at The Coracle. I was there at lunchtime on 17/10/2023, and I was served by the most delightful lady. The steak and kidney pie was quite possibly the best I've ever had, incredibly meaty. I'll definitely continue my tradition of visiting The Coracle, it's the best chip shop I know of.

Golden Lion Hotel

W hat a lovely place to stay it is so quaint .the staff are amazing. and where did you find ure chef .1st class .I'm a vegetarian and my food was so tasty would recommend this charming hotel Many thanks to the owners of this hotel you are doing something right everyone we spoke to had the same opinion Thank you

The Point Cafe

It's a cute little spot with a gorgeous sea view for lunch. The staff were super friendly, but the food was kinda average. My fish and chips were a bit overcooked, but my partner loved his English breakfast.

Just a warning though, the seating inside might be a squeeze for bigger folks. They have those fixed booths with benches, and let's just say they're designed for the more svelte diner. Maybe grab a table outside if you're feeling a bit roomy!

Kwong Yick

The best Chinese I ever tasted will never order from a different one kwon yik has my full commitment. The best food known to man kind. The staff are lovely and kind wouldn't recommend a better place love this Chinese with all my heart. This restaurant gives something more than food it gives passion and hard work into there

Waverley Stores and Vegetarian Restaurant

Fabulous vegetarian food.
Lovely, friendly staff.
Absolutely faultless.
I had the home made cheese, tomato and spinach pasta bake.
Followed by a fabulous home made lemon polenta cake.

The shop is lovely too, well stocked with healthy food and toiletries.
I had some fabulous home grown lettuce, which I can't wait to eat..... tomorrow !

I can't recommend this cafe and shop enough and am thinking of returning on the weekend from Porthcawl to try and buy some more delicious food !!

Thanks to all staff today, it really made our trip! Xx

The Vaults

We popped in for a quick bite to eat. The Vaults is a lovely place, great atmosphere and food. Staff are brilliant. Friendly and professional.We had the sharing tapas menu of 2 tapas +a side for £16. It was delicious, the quality of food was great, and it was very enjoyable.Our only complaint was that the tapas only had 3 pieces of bread and 3 of the meat. Could have done with 4 of each to be a true sharing tapas, but meh. Otherwise, fab.

The Chippy

Amazing food, cod was delicious and had a flavourful batter,the chips were crispy and great big portions. only 5 mins away from the beach so had a nice time eating by the beach. Everything was freshly fried and delicious and lady was very nice

Cegin Myrddin

The home made quiche and sausage rolls are the best ever, came accross this gem when holidaying in Saundersfoot, popped to Camarthen for the day, bought both items, loved them that much returned on the Sunday and bought another 3 quiches to take home to Wrexham. 5 wonderful stars for these tasty delicious goodies.

Neil's Fish & Chips

Found on google maps as came off boat at Pembroke heading south not wanting to divert off route too far from where we need to go.
So was perfect.
Large cod and chips £13.90 good load of vinegar when asked good lot of chips.
Shared with other half plenty for the two of us .
Nice large piece of cod.
Really nice highly recommend.
Chips good with nice little crispy bits.
Just like the old days ready to go and hot .

Greggs

Was served by a boy called Michael and have to say what a lovely person he is, so cheerful and polite,I ate in and he was the same to every customer even though he was busy

The Black Ox

Absolutely beautiful food, and very reasonably priced. We were served by the new owner who is very friendly and welcoming. This place has been on my to-do list for years and I was not disappointed. Compliments to the chef, and the thank you to the owner and regulars who made my wife, our dog and I very welcome. Will definitely return.

Florries fish and chips

Great fish and chips. Light batter and no grease. Good sized portions at a reasonable price.

The card machine was on the blink when we visited and there are no local cash machines nearby so it's worth taking cash just in case.
