About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

Here at iâl Restaurant, we are passionate about creating an excellent dining experience whilst caring for our environment. iâl Restaurant offers only the best contemporary cuisine, produced using a mix of home grown and locally sourced Welsh ingredients. Using the Welsh and European Farm to Fork strategy, we farm our own meat, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and produce our own dairy with our colleagues at Northop and Llysfasi farm. In collaboration with Coleg Cambria, we introduce to you a fresh approach to dining, here in the heart of Wrexham town centre. In light relaxing surrounding, submerse yourself with friends and family in our beautiful retreat. Where the music is acoustic and the lights dimmed, come sample our signature 15 hour cooked beef brisket dish or let us choose for you with our weekly specials. If the sound of that doesn't grab your attention, the smell of our fresh focaccia and sourdough we bake everyday will.

We have always been fulsome in our praise of Ial Restaurant as my TripAdvisor review shows Whilst it was still the customary warm and friendly welcome there is clearly something awry in the kitchen. The Sunday roast was simply not up to its usual standard, one small roast carrot, a teaspoon of greens, a few beans and little evidence of any carrot purée, we supplemented the meal with a side portion of roast potatoes - £5 for four extremely small and overdone potatoes is frankly exorbitant I’m aware other dinners were also unhappy and some were refusing to pay for their sweet course. My sister in law paid £20 for a cauliflower steak and that didn’t appear to have much in the way of accompaniments . We paid our bill and left I hope the normal customary high standards will soon resume, I’m afraid we won’t be returning until we are sure they have
