About The Blue Bell Bistro

Right on the harbour in New Quay, this is the kind of place where you can park the pram, get everyone seated and actually enjoy lunch. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu and outdoor seating, and the staff are warm without hovering — families are made to feel comfortable rather than tolerated. The crayfish open sandwich comes up again and again: generous, well seasoned, with chips that stay hot. Fish specials like lemon sole in garlic caper butter are worth asking about, portions are big, and the coffee and desserts hold their own. Gluten-free eating is taken seriously here — one visitor's coeliac friend got a meal that caused genuine food envy. The upstairs tables have the view everyone wants, so come outside peak times if you're hoping for one.
