What to know

Cafe vs restaurant

Cafes in Tenby usually mean daytime service, counter or casual tables, and a shorter menu. Some stay open for evening wine — still a cafe if that is the core offer.

What to check

Opening days, card vs cash, outdoor seating, and whether they take bookings for larger groups. In coastal towns like Tenby, seasonal hours are common.

Allergens and dogs

Ask about allergen handling if dietary needs are strict. Dog policies vary — coastal and city cafes differ widely.
