Smashing ambience, lovely service, top class, authentic food, notably bouillabaisse style soup, and perfectly cooked fish with a choice of sauces. The owner/ Maitre d' could not be more charming. The prices are fair- about £130 for three courses, 2 kirs, and a delicious bottle of St. Nicolas de Bourgeuil. (Tip- light Loire reds age well and go with anything- you're welcome). Hugely recommended. If you are mean and/ or a recovering alcoholic, you can eat well for about £30 a head for three courses. This was our second visit in about three weeks. It really is a must visit location.

Booking highly recommended as Paysanne is a popular small dining space. Relaxed yet professional service, fine dining with a French Welsh style. Delicately cooked fish of the day was superb. Delicious desserts and great after dinner coffee.

We had an amazing meal having been fortunate to secure a booking earlier that same evening. Lovely dining area, particularly for couples, with low-level background music which enhances the ambience. Excellent service, with great menu recommendations and attention to allergy requirements. We opted for the escargot and French onion soup, which were both delicious followed by different ‘fish of the day’ dishes. Crème brûlée from the dessert menu was scrumptious and there’s a superb French cheeseboard. Very good and affordable wine list - we’re were recommended the house white for our menu choice, which was excellent. Would highly recommend this restaurant, which is just a short journey from Conwy, with views across the estuary, and there’s 24 hr parking at the Station, just across the road which is competitively priced too.

We were very lucky to get a booking since our late afternoon phone-call was made in hope rather than expectation. Restaurant is small, friendly, convivial with attentive, engaging service from when you arrive through to when you leave. We had the best meal, evening out, we have had so far this year - hard to see it being beaten in the coming months. Lots of good choices on the menu and ‘specials’ to consider including on the night we visited John Dory, Hake as well as Confit Duck Leg. Between us we had and thoroughly enjoyed - Soupe De Pecheur, luscious bouillabaisse style fish soup with rouille; Crevettes in garlic butter perfect to mop up with bread. Followed by Hake (beautifully cooked) with lemon, butter and parsley, and Cote De Boeuff Gwalia - tender, cooked to medium in garlic butter. We finished off with Crème Brûlée’ and selection of French cheeses. Wine list is short, sensibly described, ‘off the beaten track’ and reasonably priced. It really doesn’t get much better than this - for which, much thanks to everyone concerned. And we’ll certainly be returning.

Went there with huge expectations. I had no booking so I had to wait about 45 min for a table, which was totally fine. Restaurant was full when I got there so I hoped for a great meal later on.Service was excellent, very professional and attentive. Atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. I really liked the decor.Food.I really hope that the chef had a bad day and he/she can do better. My food was blunt, boring and not properly cooked/served.Soup had no taste at all and was so hot that I’ve burned my mouth with a first sip.Veggies which were served on side were quite raw - specially broccoli.Fish was ok, but like the rest of the seasoning was blunt and boring.Being a French restaurant I was expecting much more from served food.If I will be close, I’ll come again to try something different and see if food improved.

Only found out about Paysanne from Tripadvisor and what a find it is. We went on a Tuesday which is lobster night at the moment. My wife is not a fan of lobster so we pre-ordered an alternative main course. All three courses were excelllent and the service was friendly and helpful. Wine list was extensive and priced from reasonable to expensive. We went for a Bordeaux which was delicious and well priced. The building was "house sized" but the interior was well laid out so that it was possible to have an intimate evening for two. Strongly recommended if you're in the area.

Had an excellent meal the other night whilst staying locally. The food is French but toned down slightly for the British taste but still authentic. Service was professional and the wine list is short but very good. The restaurant is small but we were not cramped and had a very enjoyable evening.

First visit after reading about the restaurant and owner in the North Wales magazine over the last few years and encouraged by the excellent reviews. I booked Sunday lunch for my son and I, well worth the trip from Anglesey. The owner and staff were very welcoming and helpful which made a good start to the experience. I had Goats cheese and smoked salmon starter followed by whole sea bream - cooked to perfection, then finished off with crème brulee. This was a very satisfying meal and look forward to trying out more of the menu in future. Thank you!
