Blondin

A modern bar and restaurant offering views as incredible as the food

The Blondin Restaurant is the heart of Zip World Penrhyn Quarry. Where adventurers go to enjoy a well-deserved pint, and friends meet to catch up over lunch, Blondins is open to everyone.

A locally-sourced sit-down meal or food on-the-go in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia)

Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely sit-down meal or a quick bite on-the-go, we’ve got you covered. Settle in and savor a delicious meal from our menu, which features a range of pub classics alongside some celebrated Welsh dishes.
