A much
needed addition to the Mach food scene, this new bistro has been packed full of happy
customers since the day it opened. The food is imaginative without being fussy, the ser-
vice is friendly but professional, children are welcome and nothing seems too much
trouble. Space is limited so book ahead.
Wynnstay Hotel
( 01654-702941;

; Maengwyn St; mains £11-17)
Flying in the face of
Machynlleth's vegie-warrior image, the Wynnstay's menu revels in meatiness with just a
token nod to the town's vegetarians. In this 1780 coaching inn the reliable country grub is
matched by a country pub feel, with roaring fires in winter and dining areas scattered
around the ground floor.
