Ynyshir

For a truly unique experience, head for rural Wales and this matt-black, part-Georgian house with an immersive approach and a mellow soundtrack. The evening starts early, which gives Chef-Owner Gareth Ward five hours to take diners on a playful culinary journey around the globe. He has a particular reverence for Japanese cuisine, with sashimi and A5 Wagyu beef likely to appear on the surprise menu of around 30 vibrant, exceptionally skilful servings. Regional sheepskins and handmade crockery show the team's pride in their Welsh locale, while you can extend your visit in one of the luxurious bedrooms.
