The gold and black wood panelled decor sets a refined tone at this restaurant inside Brown's Hotel and the food here lives up to its surroundings. Modern twists on Welsh classics like cawl are a hit and the desserts (a glorious sticky toffee pudding is a highlight) and the cheeses (punchy Welsh varieties to the fore) are worth putting on a kilo or two for.
