Places to Eat in Ceredigion

Ceredigion's dining scene follows its coastline and its students, with Aberystwyth holding the biggest concentration of restaurants, cafes and pubs, from steakhouses like Holdens to quick options such as the Port Kebab House and Express Cafe. It's a town used to feeding a term-time population, so menus range widely and prices stay sensible.

Along the coast, New Quay and Borth offer a more seasonal, seaside character, with places like The Watch House and Borth Community Hub reflecting the slower pace outside summer. Inland and around the smaller villages, expect pubs and spots such as Pennau or Llond Plat that double as the social hub as much as the place to eat.

Ciao Ciao and The Hut show the variety on offer beyond the obvious harbourside chippy, and with 227 listed across the county, choosing often comes down to whether you want a proper sit-down meal or somewhere to break a coastal walk.
