Friendly service from very knowledgeable staff. They had the answers to all our questions about the perfectly presented dishes.
My partner had the pescitarian menu which we had arranged in advance.
The wine pairing option just added to the overall excellent service and experience. Including some Welsh wine. In fact much of the menu featured locally sourced ingredients.
A great way to celebrate our anniversary.
Did not expect to find fine dining comparable to some $500 per person restaurants in Chicago here in Conwy. If you like fine dining, immaculate wine pairings, and perfectly constructed small plates, absolutely get to The Jackdaw when you visit. Top notch food, service, and atmosphere.
Very cute establishment, great services. It reminded us as a speak easy restaurant as there were no signage of the restaurant from street level.
Loved the decor of the restaurant and large windows. The food was excellent. Our favourites were the leek & potato and fennel sauce for salmon. The sourdough soda bread was amazing as well, I think i had 2 of those on my own.
Highly recommended!
For a complete dining experience as opposed to a nice meal look no further. We had the pleasure of celebrating our birthdays at the Jackdaw recently and came away feeling truly spoiled. The food is top notch and the ambience was just right for a relatively small restaurant. What set it apart from the start was the level of enthusiasm from the team. For every selection we made from the menu (and the extensive wine list!), we were provided with so much detail of what went into the preparation. Nothing was too much trouble and we were given time to relax and simply soak up the experience. We will definitely return next time we’re in the area
A hidden gem in Conwy. The service was excellent. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable but not intrusive. The food was sensational. The gooseberry dessert was by far the best that any of our party of four have ever enjoyed. The set menu lasted for approximately three hours, but it went by pretty quickly. My one gripe would be that dishes were delayed until all guests had arrived (understandably so). Setting a firm start time 30 minutes after the booking time would be appreciated!
I would highly recommend The Jackdaw and will return when we're in the area again.
Had the most amazing visit to the Jackdaw for a birthday. The staff were very attentive and we were made to feel so welcomed, they even had a birthday card written for the birthday guest!
We went on an A la Carte menu day. The food was incredible - the velouté on the mussels starter was so tasty. Scallops were light and fragrant. The beef main was cooked absolutely perfectly. Vegetable sides were amazing, we were all shocked that carrots, wilted greens and potatoes could taste like that! To die for.
Big smiles all round! We will all definitely be coming back again and can’t wait to try the taste menu 😊
Absolutely loved every mouthful of the food we had, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff were attentive and approachable without being intrusive in any way. Their own sea buckthorn gin is so refreshing and cleansing, by far the best meal we have had for a long time.
Visited The Jackdaw this evening. Slightly hidden away from the high street, it felt private but not especially easy to find.
Excellent level of service and a comfortable, warm atmosphere. The servers were lovely & attentive. The velouté in the mussel starter was full of flavour, but gritty mussels let it down - however this was taken off the bill which was appreciated.
Wild Red Deer for main was fantastic, very well cooked - it melted like butter in the mouth! I especially enjoyed the side of tarragon carrots, perfectly seasoned.
Chocolate Delice for dessert was rich and not too heavy, more pink pepper caramel please!
High quality and considered ingredients made for a delicious dinner, will definitely be back for the spring season menu.
Wonderful restaurant with fabulous locally-sourced food, with imaginative, creative dishes and delicious flavours. Team are friendly, knowledgeable and all in all a really great experience. Highly recommend this excellent, local chef who has returned to his roots after working with Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck.
An excellent restaurant. We had our final night of our holiday here and it was a great way to end a stay. The food was delicious; my favourite was the Lamb Cawl which produced four tiny cubes of utter delight to savour before the Salt Marsh Lamb main, but the highlight is probably the Blaenau Slate pudding. Delicious and a great tribute to the local slate mines. All original, all locally sourced, all perfectly cooked.
This place is a little hard to find but well worth the search. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was that pleasant sweet-spot between too busy and too quiet. If you're looking for a special meal, this is the place.
