Classics meet fusion restaurant and bar
Levant
Welcome to the beautiful escape from the norm that is Levant, located on the first floor in Chester Street. With direct street level access, the scale of the restaurant dawns on as you turn the landing, leading to a long bar and large main dining area that then opens out onto an airy and welcoming balcony. The balcony overlooks a new major street art addition to Wrexham’s skyline, and something to tick off if you are on the Art trail in town.
The setting is designed so you can walk in and forget about the world and just enjoy everything they have on offer.
Levant was founded by Hannah Grew nearly 7 years ago. Hannah first settled in Wrexham 15 years ago and says the secret to her success has been remaining consistent through hard work, believing in yourself and being supported by a trusted and loyal team.
Chef ‘Malty’ has been here since the very beginning and promoted to Head Chef meaning the team spirit is so firmly established you can be confident everyone really cares and does their very best. It all means that you will return.
Offering two course lunch specials with trusted best sellers such as bruschetta and roast garlic hummus for starters, with mains including generous spicy chicken wraps with salsa and fresh salad dressings they have a steady daily lunchtime trade.
Evening meals step up in sophistication but to ensure groups are still relaxed and well catered for they offer specials such as fresh sea bass and famous hanging kebabs alongside the more traditional favourites such as fresh gourmet burgers, meaning everyone goes home happy.
Hannah emphasises that their portions are both generous and their ingredients used are always the freshest possible, and with something for everyone. They want their customers to leave feeling fully satisfied and with great specials they will then come back time and time again knowing that their meals are also great value.
With private dining available for special functions such as weddings, parties and anniversaries the venue lends itself to a number of different themed events.
This includes their popular Jazz evenings every month on a Sunday evening, with live music, classical singers and also ticketed black tie charity evenings as well – meaning the venue constantly can reinvent itself for a whole range of different events and customers. Christmas bookings are now being taken and we recommend booking early. Book a table at Levant and you won’t be disappointed.
Toast café and deli in Charles Street is a thriving bustling place and is another one of Wrexham's hidden gems. Established for over 3 years and a winner of Good Food Award 2024/25 this is now one of Wrexham's firm favourites.
Their cakes are always a special treat along with their wide range of traditional cooked-from-fresh brunches and lunches.
Always something to look forward to whenever in town, Toast's cozy atmosphere prepares you for some delicious foods and refreshments once you settle down.
Watch the world go by through their beautiful window and enjoy the buzz of the place. Take some time out during your visit to Wrexham and let Erin, Jem and the rest of the team offer you a warm welcome and a generous plate of tasty delights whenever you pop in.
World class dining & multi-award winning
Lisbon
Tapas
Restaurant
Jose Simoes is the owner and founder of Lisbon Tapas Restaurant located on Church Street, based in the ancestral heart of Wrexham, overlooked by St Giles' Church. Jose first settled in Wrexham over 20 years ago having spent a successful career in travel and long had dreams of bringing a little bit of Portugal back to North Wales.
Located on what is one of the prettiest streets in town, Lisbon Tapas Restaurant first opened its doors back in 2018 and further expanded to satisfy growing demand back in 2022. It’s fair to say it has now firmly established itself as the go to destination restaurant of choice for seafood dining here in town.
Jose has always been a big fan of Lisbon City and had the vision to recreate his favourite aspects of the city right here in Wrexham, so that customers could sample and taste authentic dishes, complemented with the surrounding atmosphere and experience that he wanted to offer.
Proud to be the most well-known restaurant in Wrexham worldwide, Lisbon Tapas has previously had MasterChef judges dining and world-renowned food critics visit such as Jay Rayner, who each have helped catapult the restaurant name and helped highlight the restaurant to a growing worldwide customer base.
Used to taking bookings months in advance from Americans, Australians and Europeans – all planning their holidays to Wrexham, customers tend to make sure they combine their hotel bookings along with the finest dining experiences, helping to guarantee them a most memorable holiday.
Offering the best seafood in town, their tasting tapas menus are also highly recommended as they give you a wider range of available flavours and tastes served on smaller plates, with flavours that cater for all.
With a good wine menu and both Sagres and Super Bock served on tap – meaning you can get real Portuguese refreshment as well.
Jose, David and the team always provide exceptional experiences and if it’s your first visit, can guide you from their menu, offering their insider knowledge and suggested house specials. Generous in both their time and insights into their journey so far when we sat down together, we also saw they are in their natural habitat as and when they welcome new customers and visitors to Wrexham.
Lisbon Tapas is a special place and once you step in, you will love the place as well. Booking well ahead, and especially when Wrexham are playing at home, is well advised.
We look forward to seeing the restaurant continue to do well and win more awards, and go on welcoming both local and global visitors to Wrexham for a long time to come.
A Real Welsh Classic - The Traditional High Street Café
Café De Galles
Catch up on all the latest gossip in the town whenever you pop in. Julie and her team have long provided a real home-from-home feel, traditional café experience, located just outside St Giles' Church on Church Street. Some say they have the best views in town.
Offering freshly prepared dishes, always cooked to order and well established now for nearly 20 years. And - unofficially By Royal Appointment - when King Charles recently visited Wrexham, Julie and her team stepped up to the call of duty to feed and refresh the official Royal Driver. Under no pressure at all and served whilst parked up outside, they delivered just in time before he then whisked the King off to meet our other local royalty who just happen to own Wrexham AFC, located just up the road.
More than a butty shop it's proper food
Snunch
Snunch on Charles Street is run with passion and fun in equal measures by Dana and Rob.
Opened just 18 months ago they have built up a steady following and specialise in tasty and decent lunches on the go. With good value, generous portions, home-cooked and fresh quality ingredients being their emphasis, this is why their customers keep on coming back.
With discounts for students and blue lights they also do their bit to help and support our local community. We tried their homemade beef in gravy on their famous cheesy jacket spuds - very filling and absolutely delicious.
Give them a follow and pop in for lunch.
Bank Street
Social
Phil runs Bank Street Social - an espresso sized coffee shop serving drinks with powerful flavours based down what is claimed to be the oldest established shopping street in Wrexham.
You will often see Phil filming for socials just outside, so make sure you say hi and stop for a brew.
Need a spiritually uplifting break?
Tabernacl
Hope Street Church offers real independent coffees and teas with lovely bites and treats. If you need a moment to yourself in the day, you should try taking some time out at Tabernacl. Located on the corner of Hope Street, the full length floor to ceiling windows allow you to sip away, reflect on things for a while with the hustle and bustle of town happening just outside.
