Restaurants in Bangor

High Street and campus tables — term nights fill, not Caernarfon harbour.

Bangor restaurants sit on High Street, toward the station and the campus — independents for the university city on the Menai, not Caernarfon's walled harbour and not a beach sitting. Check FSA hygiene ratings on food.gov.uk; we do not quote a mains band until we have dated menus.

What to know

restaurants in Bangor

Bangor is the university city on the Menai — Gwynedd taxi table; steep streets and pier, not a holiday harbour like Caernarfon.

Where to eat

Bangor's High Street has suffered some retail decline, but the food scene around the city centre and Pontio arts centre is lively. Pontio (the University arts/innovation centre on Deiniol Road) has a café-bar open to the public. The Blue Sky Café is a Bangor institution known for its vegetarian and vegan-friendly menu and long opening hours. For a proper evening meal, the independent restaurants on Upper Bangor's Holyhead Road offer more variety than the chain-heavy High Street.
