Restaurants in Merthyr Tydfil

King Brychan

Went for a late birthday meal with family today, the service was amazing, food was delicious and hot and served quickly, nice warm friendly atmosphere, the staff are amazing, Richard went above and beyond making my day extra special by singing Happy Birthday ? to me ?, Richard also made sure baby Albie was catered for. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Frankie & Benny's

We visited Frankie & Benny’s while a weather warning had been issued, although the weather itself was absolutely fine. The restaurant was almost empty. From the moment we sat down, the manager made it very clear she didn’t want us there. Her attitude was cold, abrupt, and unwelcoming from the outset. She told us everything would be “fast paced” as they might be closing, despite the restaurant still being open.
We were considerate, ate quickly, and the food itself was decent. However, the service was appalling. As soon as we finished our mains, she immediately pushed the bill on us instead of asking if we wanted dessert, which is basic hospitality. When I asked for dessert instead, she looked visibly irritated and became desperate to get the bill to the table, making us feel rushed and unwelcome the entire time.
While I understand staff may want to go home, that does not excuse treating paying customers like an inconvenience. There was no urgency to leave, no bad weather, and no justification for her behaviour. Her frustration was obvious in the way she acted, even if she couldn’t bring herself to say it outright.
The final straw came when the bill was paid. After my friend asked, “Ah, you didn’t split it, did you?”, the manager snapped back with “No, I’m not a mind reader.” This was rude, sarcastic, and completely unprofessional. It ruined the evening entirely.
The food was fine, but the manager’s attitude was hostile, dismissive, and unacceptable. If this is the standard of management at this branch, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The New Crown

My favorite place to go for food. Everything I've tried here over multiple occasions is delicious and the service is always speedy and polite staff. Highly recommend!!

King Kebab

We ordered a big pizza today, with drinks and fries. O my God, delicious! Fries were crispy and there was no smell of old oil which means than they were fried in the fresh one. Nice and lovely fries. And the pizza.. Wow! The dough was melting in my mouth. Highly recommended. 10 out of 10.

Greggs

Pentrebach House Table Table

We came for dinner today and Andrea was amazing helpful and kind and friendly help me with my allergies knowing what I can have and can’t have definitely recommend come here again

Busy Bee Fish Bar & Cafe

We stopped in for a bite to eat with the family, and it was a hit. Delicious food, friendly service, large portions, and a reasonable price. The coleslaw is world-class, delicious. Very nice and pleasant, I recommend it 100%. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by.

Feed Me Fitt

Tasty, healthy food in an unexpected location. We had 2 large bowls and they were great value as they really filled us up.

The bowls were quite sauce heavy to add flavour, so you could ask them to go lighter on the sauce if you wanted to taste more of the other ingredients.

Mogsy Belle Ice Cream Parlour

Amazing desserts! Only complaint is the same tub was used for all toppings which is cross contamination as my little bother is allergic to all nuts! And a failure to ask is when served ☺️

Tasty Pizza

Extremely polite staff when ordering and the most delicious food I’ve tasted and very cheap and very fast delivery to! Definitely be ordering again very soon! If I could give more stars then I would definitely worth more than 5 stars!

Pizza Hut Restaurants

Fantastic time at this hut. The staff were all super helpful and friendly, plus the manager was definitely leading his team. Great job keeping fresh food out and salad bar topped up. Definitely recommend.

The Tea Cosy

Ordered 5 takeaway Afternoon teas ...absolutely lovely...really good selection of fresh tasting sandwiches , a mixture of savouries,scones and sweet treats as well as being beautifully boxed with cutlery and napkin.A little sprig of rosemary on top of each box which we used as table decorations
Could not have had better....Thank you very much Rachel

Greggs

Nice Greggs with small seating area. Very busy store though so expect longer waits than average for this store compared to other ones. Usually several staff on tills so quick as can be expected for footfall it gets.

Glebeland Fish Bar and Kebab

Really good chips and kebabs. Wonderful staff as well! You can order online or you can order on just eat. I have never had a bad meal here. Always early, whenever I have had food from here, it is always great.best chicken kebab I have had ever. Really love the food and really well priced. I love this little gem in Merthyr Tydfil.

Aberglais Inn

Just want to say a huge thank you! It was my birthday yesterday and my husband had booked a meal in Frankie and bennies cause of our young children. They told us ten minutes before the booking that the gas had leaked. I phoned yourselves and you could not have done enough! You fitted 12 of us in and the girl who served us was the nicest person ever! :) Food was stunning and the staff are so lovely and welcoming! My fav place to have a meal thank you again ❤️❤️

Twyn Fish Bar

A broad statement here, but possibly the best chips in Merthyr.
Also, if you're gluten intolerant (celiac), then the chips are cooked in a separate fryer with an oil that is gluten free.

The Butchers Arms Bunkhouse and Brewpub

First visit to the butchers Arms today but certainly won’t be the last. We received a lovely warm welcome and our two miniature dachshunds were made to feel at home with some special treats. The Sunday dinner we had was amazing and cooked to perfection. Already planning our next visit.

Charcoal Grill

checked out the reviews looked decent and it was a decent mixed Doner Kebab..plenty of meat too!just what's needed after shredding the Trails at Bike Park Wales! ✌️

Taj Restaurant

Taj offers an exceptional Indian dining experience with rich, authentic flavors and beautifully prepared dishes. The curries are perfectly spiced, the naan is fresh and soft, and every dish tastes homemade and full of care. The service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. Taj is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for high-quality Indian cuisine—highly recommended!

Family Kebab House

Flames Kebab House

Really good food. We own a pub so sometimes don’t have time to prepare our own food after closing. Flames always deliver in good time and the food has been faultless. Our go-to delivery after a long shift.

Mobile Chickenland

Charcoal Grill | Gurnos

Highly recommended . Easy and quick to order on line . Delivered on time , if not before estimated time given. , easy to order online and excellent food. Can’t fault anything . Wouldn’t go anywhere else now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sunshine Kebab

Absolutely brilliant food, the best in Merthyr by far, really generous portions and extremely tasty, wouldn’t go anywhere else because this place the best quality.

Star Grill

We had a delivery last night and my burger was wrong. I phoned the kebab house and straight away they apologised and within half an hour a brand new burger was sent out to me no questions asked.\nVery impressed with this service. Highly recommend

New Simply Indian

I ordered the chicken korma with peshwari naan and spicy chips, and everything was spot on. The korma was very nice and flavorful with tender chicken, the naan was soft and fresh, and the spicy chips had a nice kick without being too much. Delivery was really quick and the food arrived hot, which made it even better. I’d definitely order this again.

Rhydycar Harvester

Another Great meal at the Harvester. Fantastic deals and credit to Wayne & Kyle they couldn't do enough for us. We'll be back very soon, Thanks once again Wayne, Kyle & Staff

Magic Wok

Proper satisfying Chinese food with friendly service.Been doing some hiking for a couple of days and worked up a real craving for some decent Chinese food. Magic wok did not disappoint.Just happen to walk past on my way to the hotel. Ordered a Szechuan Chicken and egg fried rice. The chicken was tender and juicy. Flavours were rich and delicious with decent spice without relying on excessive salt and oil. Fried rice was also very tasty without being too oily or too dry,Both the lady at the front and chef were super friendly, they even helped me charge my phone while I waited for my food (thanks again)!If you got the craving for some decent Chinese food in Merthyr or just want a good satisfying meal after a long day give this place a go.

Marmaris

We recently been having Kebab from this shop every single time the food is amazing pizza kabab chicken wings chips everything is hot when we’ve picked up the order absolutely amazing kebab shop

Chickenland-Pizza & Kebab

Just had our first chicken land in a good while and it was genuinely the best fast food we've had in several years. All requests were done exactly as we asked, the chicken fillet burger was stunning and the chips... Literally the best chips we've EVER had delivered! Still steaming hot and crispy. Proper wow meal. So, so good ?

McDonald's

This place was just too busy to buy anything. The wait time would have been at least 30 mins. There were so many kids in there as it was half term. So all I did was use the WC and left.

New Dolphin Fish Bar

Had a chip roll with curry sauce absolutely delicious! Highly recommended to visit a real traditional fish shop by British people for a chance. Even offered me a receipt extremely reasonable priced , if this fish shop can do it at these prices why aren’t others doing the same?

The Station Hotel Cefn

Such a great pub it's a shame not many customers the landlord very pleasant get down there and support them or else another pub will close when you visit this pub you can also view the viaduct

The Brunswick Bar

If you've read my earlier reviews you'll have guessed i'm somewhat of a social butterfly. I like food, i like drink, i love the combination of the two together and that's what you get at this heavenly establishment. Now, an all you can eat Chinese buffet for prices around the stupid mark like £5 a head, this is an all you can eat oasis. As i've said prices are scandalously reasonable and food is nice and fresh and the choices are pretty good. A few not overly authentic but i suppose in this day and age you have to cater for everyone and at £5 a head, who really cares what your getting? A little out the way of Merthyr High Street the Brunswick is neatly tucked into aside street and if your not careful you will miss it. Although, i recommend you look out for their Ford Focus delivery car that has THE BRUNSWICK written appropriately up the side and follow it. Its always cruising about town! So all in all a nice place with nice food and nice prices. What are you waiting for?

Llwyn Yr Eos Inn

A rustic, welcoming pub on the Taff trail. Has outside seating and free WiFi. Doesn't accept cards though, cash only, but the drinks are relatively cheap. Good views of surrounding fields and animals.

Qmin

I don't do Indian food normally but friends asked me to join them. I am so glad I did. The food was absolutely amazing and even though it was busy the food was quite quick being served. I'll give this 5 stars ?

Parking: Parking is opposite the restaurant

Fortune House Chinese Takeaway

Ordered from here last week as usual Chinese was closed. I wasn't disappointed, food was lovely, staff were very friendly and get free food/drink if spending over certain amount. Would happily order again.

The Hideout

We're a family from USA, we stopped here for lunch during a visit in Wales in 2023. This was a super neat & quaint cafe, made us feel at home. Good prices, too.
5 stars, would recommend.

Woodland Cafe

Wasn't open when we visited but has a huge log burner . Menu looked varied and we went on special as I had read the coffee is highly recommended. We were disappointed it wasn't serving. Staff were cleaning and doing prep. We will go back when it's openParking: A bit hilly but then it iw up in the forestry and as such was uneven. Steps up to cafe . Plenty of parking available

Pak-Ho

I have been having food from here for many years, I am quite fussy when it comes to which takeaways to go for but this one has never let me down. I have always enjoyed my food from here and love that the curry has a slight kick, which is rare around here. Highly recommend!!

Rachels Cafe

Just went to this cafe. Holy s^%t. Set us up for a drive back to Scotland. Awesome. breakfast roll was literally a plate of food in a roll. Brilliant. Thank you Denise and Rachel.

Ho Wah

I never order from anywhere else Ho Wah for me is hands down the best Chinese takeaway in Merthyr food is always amazing friendly staff and bless the drivers they are out in all weather and they're always friendly 10 out of 10

Ying Wah

Absolutely love this take away.
I would recommend the chicken and veg soup , prawn toast and then the meal deal which is chip butty with pork & chicken slices topped with curry sauce. We travel over the valley to eat from here. Well worth it

Morlais Tavern

This is a nice pub with outdoor seating. They held a memorial for my uncle last Friday, and they did him proud. Thanks to all at the Morlais for this special day.

Sunflower

Needed food while in town and all the other cafe's closed at 4pm, so decided to give this place a try, from the moment we walked in we were greeted like old friends, and made to feel welcome.
The food options are a nice selection.
We were served very quickly, drinks came out fast, as well as out food orderd. The entire process took about 8 - 10 minutes.
The food is super fresh.

Bonjour Bon Apetit

I had a lovely vegan curry on jacket potato from here while I was on jury service. It was a very reasonable price and very tasty. The guy the runs it/owns it is a vegan too so you know they know what they are doing. The rest of the offerings looked really nice and it was quite busy, so the rest of the food must be quite good. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in merthyr for anything again.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available and are more than happy to accommodate this.
