Christmas Roast Sunday special, absolutely delicious. Excellent portions and friendly service all at a very reasonable price. Not rushed and lots of time to chat with friends! Hopefully roasts continue into next year. We'll be back

Great little find. Excellent food at very reasonable prices, friendly staff and just a lovely spot for a coffee and cake or lunch by the sea.

My fiance and I were on a short getaway and, while strolling past the beach, we stumbled upon this charming cafe bistro. The place was bustling with people outside, and there was even a queue inside, definitely a good sign! From the moment we were served, we were impressed by the incredibly friendly and personable staff. The lady who served us had such an energetic and upbeat vibe, which was a refreshing surprise and made us feel right at home. Our drinks came quickly, and although the food took a little longer to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait. Everything was cooked perfectly and the quality was excellent. It was the perfect way to start our day in such a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. If only we were locals, this would absolutely be our go-to spot for breakfast! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

Just had a fabulous Valentines Day afternoon tea here. Service was prompt with a warm welcome and smiles from all the staff. Sandwiches fresh and tasty and the cakes were just delicious, too much food to eat all in one go, so we had the rest boxed up to eat at home later, all for a ridiculously low price. Hoping your afternoon teas will become a regular on your menu.

Really nice food, big portion sizes. Go for the loaded chips (one of the best I've had).

Tides Bistro is right by the beach in Llandullas and during our stay at the Beach holiday site, we tried the cooked breakfasts. I had the large breakfast and my wife had the vegetarian breakfast. They were both cooked to perfection, presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. Staff were great and totally on it in terms of keeping the cafe clean and tidy whilst delivering great service. We will be back.

Tides is a wonderful Cafe Bistro. The food, service and atmosphere is amazing. The owner Becky always has a welcoming smile on her face. The location next to the sea is breathtaking. I highly recommend paying it a visit, you will not be disappointed. Really professional, polite and helpful staff. I was served by Tegan who was an absolute delight. This venue is a real Gem. Pay it a visit and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Tides
