A McDonald's In Wales has been described as "the best in the world" by a Michelin-starred chef who runs the UK's best restaurant.
While McDonald's isn't the first place you might think an acclaimed chef would head to on their day off, Gareth Ward who runs Ynyshir - the UK's official best restaurant - has said the Maccies in Welshpool "is on a different level". Ward, originally from County Durham, took over the Ynyshir in 2013 and has been credited far and wide for turning the Welsh restaurant into a dining destination.
The chef also chose to spotlight two other restaurants, including Baravin in Aberystwyth, which he praised for their Caesar salads, and a fish and chip shop called Caersws Fish Bar, who he credits for their innovative techniques and dishes. His final choice though - and one he warned people would laugh at - was McDonald's in Welshpool, adding that everyone he speaks to agrees.
