A Welsh restaurant has been named the UK’s best for the second year running at a prestigious awards ceremony. Last year Ynyshir became the first restaurant outside of England to win at the National Restaurant Awards 2022 – and now they have done it again.
The restaurant, near Machynlleth in Powys, was described by judges as "combining a thumping soundtrack with a succession of tiny plates of punchy, Japan-influenced cuisine cooked over fire" and praised for providing "a culinary experience like no other". Restaurant editor Stefan Chomka said: “Ynyshir really is a restaurant like no other – where fun and fine dining combine for a truly remarkable experience.
“Gareth Ward’s singular vision for what a restaurant can be, and his willingness to break down boundaries, are to be applauded. He leads by example by never missing a service and he and his team are very worthy winners of this title again.” For the latest restaurant news from Wales, sign up to our newsletter
