The Felin Fach Griffin

At the junction of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains sits this delightful restaurant with rooms, with its distinctive red exterior and extensive garden. Inside, an open fire and large sofas welcome guests in the bar, while the dining areas display a wealth of rustic charm, each with its own theme or colour and an array of artwork and photos by local artists. The modern British cooking comes underpinned by classical French influences, and local organic ingredients are used wherever possible - the inn's kitchen garden is the first in Wales to achieve organic certification. Dishes are simply prepared, letting flavours speak for themselves. Smoked salmon tartare from the Black Mountains Smokery served with Crickhowell crème fraîche and black pepper tuile makes an excellent starter, followed by an equally impressive breast of local pheasant with Yukon Gold potato mash and sauerkraut.
