Bryn Williams Porth Eirias

You're walking along the Promenade on a decent day, the bay glinting behind you, and suddenly there's a proper restaurant that feels like it shouldn't exist in Colwyn Bay—but absolutely should. Porth Eirias sits right by the water with views that actually justify sitting by a window. The cooking takes Welsh produce seriously without being self-conscious about it: expect confident bistro food that respects its ingredients rather than mucking about. It's the kind of place you'd book for someone's birthday or when your mates visit from down South and you want to show them we're not all chip shops up here.
