About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
Here at iâl Restaurant, we are passionate about creating an excellent dining experience whilst caring for our environment. iâl Restaurant offers only the best contemporary cuisine, produced using a mix of home grown and locally sourced Welsh ingredients. Using the Welsh and European Farm to Fork strategy, we farm our own meat, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and produce our own dairy with our colleagues at Northop and Llysfasi farm. In collaboration with Coleg Cambria, we introduce to you a fresh approach to dining, here in the heart of Wrexham town centre. In light relaxing surrounding, submerse yourself with friends and family in our beautiful retreat. Where the music is acoustic and the lights dimmed, come sample our signature 15 hour cooked beef brisket dish or let us choose for you with our weekly specials. If the sound of that doesn't grab your attention, the smell of our fresh focaccia and sourdough we bake everyday will.

    There will always be those who moan about the relatively limited menu but don't listen to them. In our experience everything is always wonderful and our latest visit was no exception. In the week the students work in the restaurant under supervision and do a splendid job. Long may it continue. We are looking forward to booking a Christmas lunch some time in December.

    It was our first visit to Ial and we will definitely be back. The welcome was lovely and the service throughout was perfect. We were spoilt for choice on the menu and we were very pleased with our options. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented. We're looking forward to our next visit.

    Shame as we like supporting this restaurant! The food was not hot enough.. portions were inadequate though tasty and not worth the£17 50 for two courses ! Goats Cheese salad was unbelievably tiny and fish portion was like a goujon size !!! Bacon chop was 50% fat !!! The staff though lovely and very amenable were overly anxious when taking away cutlery we weren’t using and plates : glasses .. it was intrusive and we felt very pushed and rushed as 3 o clock approached !! Not on !!!!! “Have you finished?” Shall we bring the bill?” That is not appropriate .. not the kids fault they are learning hospitality so should be trained how to deal with clients appropriately !!
