Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Gwynedd

Please note, leading restaurant guides issue awards to restaurants based on dining from a full menu and will not normally consider afternoon tea when deciding how highly to rate a restaurant. Therefore the above restaurants are not ranked, although it's a safe bet that any restaurant serving award winning food in Gwynedd is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Gwynedd! Please also note that for the restaurants listed above, afternoon tea may be offered within the parent hotel/venue the restaurant resides in, rather than in the restaurant itself.

Gwynedd, nestled in the heart of North Wales, is a splendid region that offers not only striking landscapes but also some truly lovely spots for an afternoon tea enthusiast. This area, with its expansive coastline and majestic mountains, sets the perfect backdrop for a leisurely afternoon indulgence. One of the standouts nearby is Portmeirion Village, an enchanting place where you can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea surrounded by Mediterranean-inspired architecture and luscious gardens. Portmeirion offers a delightful selection of homemade cakes, freshly baked scones, and fine teas - all served with a side of magnificent estuary views over the River Dwyryd. Whether you're a seasoned tea aficionado or just looking for a relaxing destination to unwind, Portmeirion is a must-visit for those in search of an elegant afternoon tea experience. Another gem of Gwynedd is the stately Pale Hall, slightly further afield but worth travelling for, especially if you are on the hunt for a refined afternoon tea setting. This Victorian country house hotel provides a serene escape into luxury, where you can sip some expertly brewed tea while indulging in delicate finger sandwiches, cakes, and pastries. There's also the Penmaenuchaf Hall Hotel, situated close to Dolgellau, which offers a wonderfully traditional afternoon tea filled with local flavours and fresh ingredients. With such an array of venues, Gwynedd ensures each afternoon tea is a splendid affair, enhanced by captivating scenery and a sense of timeless charm that washes over you as tea is lovingly poured.
