Coconut Cove

Llŷn Peninsula


The original Thai chef and owner no longer rattles the pans at this perennially popular place (formerly Coconut Kitchen), but the replacement also hails from the mother country. As the restaurant's so close to the sea, fish dishes such as the Abersoch Bay Seafood Delight (mixed seafood stir-fried with vegetables in a spicy sauce) seem to make particular sense.
