Dragonfly Bistro

You'll find Dragonfly tucked away on St James's Square, that proper little corner of Aberystwyth that feels like it's in on a secret. It's the kind of place where the kitchen actually knows what it's doing—no frozen shortcuts, no Instagram bait—just carefully executed dishes that make you wonder why more places don't bother trying this hard. The room itself is compact and warm, the sort of space where you can hear conversations properly and the staff genuinely seem pleased you've shown up.
