About the restaurant

We are a family owned modern Italian restaurant and bar run by the proprietor Joe Lynch and his son Ryan Lynch.
The name Con Amici comes from the Italian family and friends dining ethos which translates to eating with friends where families and close friends come together to have a meal around a table whether it is at home or in a restaurant, making it a big event. This is what we want our customers to experience when they visit our restaurant.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Aberdunant Hall where we have our fantastic outdoor heated terrace (during peak season), cosy restaurant with an ambient atmosphere in which to dine.

Our Menu consists of a number of classic dishes, steaks and meats from the Grill as well as a collection of more sophisticated plates. Dinner is served Monday to Saturday with our fabulous Home cooked Carvery on Sundays. Please see contact our teams for details of timings as service times and offerings are subject to change.

We only serve quality wines and beers and the tastiest food which is sourced from local suppliers. Adam Ellis our Exec Chef has designed our menus with a wide variety of options for special diets and with just a little tweak can be altered to suit the majority or diets.

We also have an area for guests who wish to bring their dogs when you dine. However please note that this must be notified in advance. Should we not be advised of your requirement prior to arrival we not be able to accommodate.

We were a group of five and chose the Sunday carvery. 4 had starters which were excellent. All five had carveries. Meat was good and potatoes and veg good, although it would have been nice to have a larger choice. We all had puddings which again were excellent. Service was first class. With three alcoholic drinks and a soft drink our bill came to £145, so not the cheapest, but definitely not the dearest food around.

The 10th Anniversary of the annual Nest Pop-Up at Trearddur Bay Boat House on the Isle of Anglesey was outstanding. The venue is magical yet 'queky' in a nice way which adds to the ambience of the setting. The staff are fantastic they are welcoming from the minute you walk in offering beverages straight away which is always a plus. The front of house staff are super knowledgable about the food being served & their attention to your needs is first class. The Chefs are truly amazing the food was soooo delicious it took my culinary experience to a different level. The wine list was excellent & varied there was something for all tastes & complimented all the dishes. It was my second 2yr attending this 'Pop-up' I will now have to wait 12 months till they venture onto my Island again🤞Thank you Xx

About the restaurant

This big open space with its easy, informal mood has an open kitchen where Bryn’s team of chefs turn simple, local, seasonal ingredients into extraordinary bistro-style food. Menus are served all day by interesting people who really understand food, and there are no rules, so you can do what you like: tuck into breakfast, graze over small plates at the bar, share a Sunday feast with family, watch the sun go down with friends. Good times with good people, and no distance between you and the beach.
