wife(wheelchair user) and I had a kids free night, and after looking around, we found this quaint little place. The menu looked good for the various GF and dairy free food. An accessible ramp to gain access and plenty of space to move around. Staff helped us with the menu and let us know what could be changed for dairy free alternatives.
My wife had the prawns and myself the pork belly starters with a katsu curry sauce. My wife loved the prawns, and the pork belly was one of the best I've eaten.
Onto our mains, we both had the meatball pasta wife had the GF pasta option and had sides of the millionaire fries and garlic fries and some GF breads, all of which tasted wonderful.
Staff were friendly and inviting, and happy to answer any questions about the food.
Portions were good-sized, and we had to take a doggy bag with us with the bread and some of the meatball pasta.
There were 3 adults and one child in our party and we ate from the Christmas menu. All of us has the 3 course option and I have to say the food was superb. I don't normally like a cooked dinner in a restaurant (I prefer home cooked) but the meals we had tonight was absolutely fantastic. We were lucky that it was quiet for a Friday.
Wonderful food, really excellent find for the area. Brilliant flavours, generous portions, kind and caring staff. Buzzy atmosphere and really delicious wine. We had a Rioja that was delicious with the porky dishes we ordered. The pork belly dish was sooooo good!!
As stated in other comments seems a little bit overpriced for what it is. As you can see the duck breast is actually some bit of breast!!! The taste was good and the staff really nice. I have seen some comments of been slow wasn't the case but was only 3/4 tables at that time
We visited the newly opened ‘Y Banc’ in its first few days of opening. The restaurant bring new life into Porthmadog, with stylish surroundings and a different way of dining. We had a sneaky peek and saw the private dining area which is the refurbished strong room, complete with a giant safe and original banking signs.
We had a table for two and had the gorgeous bread appetisers along with the pan con tomate, which is one of my favourite dishes when we go to Spain.
To follow my partner had black pudding and beetroot toquitos, marinated beef steak and Menai mussels which he said where to die for. We shared mushrooms and patatas bravas. I had the vegetable paella, smoky chick peas and tandoori spices cauliflower with homemade mango chutney. We were rather full, but we did leave room for desserts, namely churros with chocolate sauce and the lime mousse.
I have dietary requirements and I am pleased to say, the menu was clearly labelled and the staff happy to answer questions as to allergens. We pop down to Porthmadog fairly regularly, so this will make a nice change from the usual pub grub when we get into town.
Absolutely outstanding sunday lunch. Perfectly seasoned and freshly prepared produce on the premises. Hats off to the chef who clearly understands flavour and flavour combinations. Really cannot fault it.
Staff were lovely and also knowledgeable on what they are serving, describing precisely how the chef made a particular dessert.
Y Banc is definitely one to watch.
Lovely restaurant. Great food and very friendly staff.
High quality food.
Not the cheapest restaurant but worth the cost.
Loved sitting in the vault of the old bank.
We had a really lovely meal at Y Banc, the food was delicious, nicely presented, with generous portions, but all four of us managed clean plates at the end! It's definitely worth saving some room for a dessert, the sticky toffee pudding and cheese cake were homemade (both gluten-free) and very yummy. The staff were helpful and friendly even though the restaurant was quite busy (booking a table is highly recommended) but the service was relaxed, not hurried, so don't expect to be in and out quickly, however we just enjoyed the time to chat.
