Aberystwyth, Mediterranean Restaurant Guide

You eat surrounded by the bottles of wine and tempting produce of the deli when you perch in the ‘vinoteca’ of Paul Grimwood and Shumana Palit’s debut venue, which opened in 2001 and has since spawned a Narberth spin-off and a wholesale business based on the nearby industrial estate. Away from the remoteness of the mid-Wales coastline, perhaps its few seats for superior tapas, nibbles and imbibements would have escaped notice, but – here in the boonies – it has earnt a place in the annals of Welsh foodie-ism.
