Harden's survey result
Summary
“Probably unchanged in years, but a very good traditional French venue” – this “excellent, popular and consistent” bistro has been in operation since 1988, and is nowadays run by the son (Cai) of the original founders (Bob & Barbara Ross). Chef David Hughes produces pleasingly traditional Gallic fare, accompanied by wine sent home by the Ross’s (who have now retired to the Languedoc).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Owner's description
We have been serving French-style country food in this warm, bustling bistro since 1988. Set across the river from Conwy castle, Paysanne has become a byword for warm, generous hospitality. Using local suppliers, head chef David Hughes is carrying on the tradition of carefully, lovingly made comfort food of the type you'd expect to find in a bucolic brasserie on the banks of the Dorgogne, ideally with an old bicycle leant against the wall.
Opened in 1988 by Bob and Barbara Ross, the torch has now passed to their son Cai, who tends to the front-of-house while David and his team toil away in the kitchen. The former patrons relocated to the Languedoc in SW France, from where they send back a selection of cherry-picked local wines, unique to the UK.
