Simply stunning! - Edit
My family had the most wonderful evening here last night. This was without doubt the most delicious and interesting meal I have ever eaten. Five course tasting menu and every dish was great. Come along if you want to try ingredients you’ve never had before! The owner was so welcoming and friendly - we loved learning about some of the foraged ingredients. Also loved having a good range of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from - they had Mash Gang non-alcoholic beers. It was excellent value for money too. I only wish we lived nearer!

Spectacular vegan dining experience - Edit
Organic seasonal and foraged ingredients presented in innovative and beautiful dishes of food in a 5 course tasting menu. Knowledgeable and welcoming host Antonella makes the experience a delight. Visited with non vegan friends and we were all blown away with this delightful dining experience. Note this is a small bespoke restaurant in Barmouth advance booking only.

Best meal ever - Edit
I cannot explain how amazing my experience at the Foxglove was. This unassuming small and cozy restaurant is run by the lovely owners, Antonella and Luke. They forage and create an amazing 5-course tasting menu that changes weekly. Each course came out looking beautiful and so interesting and Antonella explained what each component was. I was fascinated and so impressed by the details. I have never had anything quite like it, and in an age of faux meat, the ingredients did all the talking. Luke, the chef, was so humble in his creations. He worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant, and this showed by the standard of food. It was a fine dining meal but with the ambiance of eating at your friend's house. As a vegan of 5 years, this was one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything, for me, was perfect, and I am very grateful to have found this restaurant. I am just so sad that I live five hours away, but I will definitely come back again.

Beautiful fine dining - Edit
Beautiful food in a cosy friendly atmosphere. The portion sizes are small but there are five courses! Even so, I could have done with a bit of bread to supplement my dinner. I've been to 5 fine dining restaurants in my life, three of which were Michelin starred. This was far and away my best experience.

Wow! What a beautiful little place, serving beautiful food by beautiful people. Every dish was outstanding, even the olives were incredible. It is best to book as the restaurant was busy and they were turning people away. Go and savour every bite!

The food at foxglove was outstanding!
Read moreOne of the most incredible meals I’ve ever eaten.
If you’re a real foodie (vegan or not) and you’re looking for truly innovative and creative dishes this is the place for you.
Each course included a mixture of foraged or local ingredients which where put together in such a creative way. Each dish is perfectly thought out, well balanced and tasted sensational.
The relaxed and cosy atmosphere makes it feel comfortable and welcoming. Our two spaniels were given lots of love and treats!
The price was incredible value for money for such a fine dining experience. Michelin star worthy food!
Pros: Michelin star worthy food! , Cosy & relaxed atmosphere , Dog friendly

This is a fantastic little restaurant that came highly recommended and didnt disappoint. All 5 courses were incredible and the people are so friendly and lovely. They explained the dishes and where the ingredients had come from. I cant wait to go again and try a different menu but would be more than happy to eat the same things again! Loved it.

You have to come here! - Edit
Ah where to even start?! Took my boyfriend for his birthday and we have NEVER experienced anything like this place! Antonella welcomed us (and our dog) with so much warmth, she’s an incredible and passionate human. The food is out of this world!! Every single dish was incredible and the service was amazing. We had to come back and we did, this time for Pablos (our dog) birthday we didn’t think it would be possible but we had an EVEN better time. The food is just insane! The attention to detail in every single plate. We already can’t wait to come back and now we want to move to Barmouth. What great people and insanely good food ❤️ thank you for existing 💫

Incredible - Edit
What an amazing place - unexpected in this small coastal town. It’s a five-course menu that changes weekly and depends on what’s around locally and can be foraged. The attention to detail and techniques used is amazing. Everything tasted incredible. We’ll worth the £45 cost (including £20 deposit).

Wow, just wow - Edit
The warmest of welcomes for ourselves and our dogs (who were immediately given a blanket and treats). Top quality organic ingredients, cooked and presented beautifully and very exciting to try so many foraged ingredients (hogweed is a new favourite!) A truly memorable meal and despite the 3 hour round trip we've just booked to go back!
