Castle Restaurant
& Armoury Bar
( 01766-780416; www.caribbeancrabharlech.com ; Castle Sq; mains £14-18; 6.30-10.30pm Mon-Sat) If this
place were transported to London it would have queues out the door, so one has to admire
the gumption of opening such a wonderful Caribbean restaurant in Wales, let alone sleepy
Harlech. Downstairs is the coolest cocktail bar in North Wales, while upstairs, the locals
are switching on to the spicy delights of goat curry, jerk chicken and blackened salmon.
