Prestatyn Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: A fixture of dining on the Wirral through four decades – “it’s been there for years” – the Galantini family’s Italian-inspired venue is as reliable as ever and “Enrico’s interesting food is always worth a try”. Long the head chef, he has now taken over management from his parents, Lino & Barbara, but regulars will be pleased to know that “the particularly good specialities such as Avocado Barbara” (avocado peeled, stuffed with prawns, covered with cream cheese and deep-fried in breadcrumbs) are still on the menu.

“A top Sunday roast” is but one attraction of Gary Usher’s Wirral fixture – the original follow-up to Chester’s Sticky Walnut, which opened in 2015 in this Grade-II sandstone building; and which follows the format of its predecessor. Most reports rate its appealing modern bistro cuisine between “very good” and “outstanding”, but ratings slipped a tad this year on the odd report of an “off night”.

“With a window seat, smart service and very reliable cooking, this is one of the better places to eat in North Wales”, is a generally agreed take on this outlet from high-profile Welsh chef Bryn WIlliams, in a modern beachside development owned by the local council. Although there’s a view that it’s “not a patch” on his more gastronomic Odette’s in London, it’s “clearly popular” and “even if the menu could be more exciting, it’s good at what it does”.

From the owner of Liverpool’s 8. The restaurant offers a modern British menu designed for sharing, with a variety of hot, cold, and baked dishes, as well as Sunday roasts. The menu includes items such as Scallop Tikka, Stone Bass Teriyaki, and Duck with Cucumber and Hoisin. The restaurant will initially be open from Wednesday to Sunday.
