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.
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. If you're looking for something more casual, opt for a freshly-made sandwich paired with a delectable slice of cake. Either way, you can sit back, relax, and take in the stunning floor-to-ceiling views as you enjoy your meal.

It’s not just about the amazing food and drink, we’re also proud to offer unparalleled, floor-to-ceiling views of the Penrhyn Quarry, which resides in a World Heritage Status area. Beyond the quarry, you will catch glimpses over Eryri mountain range, particularly if you head to the top floor where you’ll find the viewing terrace!
