Quick info
About St.Elli's Bay
St.Elli's Bay sits right on the beach at Discovery Centre North Dock in Llanelli, looking out over the Gower and Loughor Estuary. The venue runs a bar downstairs and a restaurant or brasserie upstairs, with seating available both inside and out, though grabbing an outdoor table can be tricky when the place is busy. Downstairs also serves as an ice cream shop with a choice of flavours. The menu leans toward seafood, and walk-ins are the way to get a table. Food orders can run to around 45 minutes at peak times, and birds have been known to leave their mark on the outside tables and chairs.

Ice cream draws the most praise, with reviewers citing the choice of flavours, outdoor seating by the beach and one team making an ice cream for a five-year-old after closing. Others enjoyed the brasserie and bistro food and coastline views, though some call prices and alcohol expensive. One reviewer found bird mess on tables and food on clothes; another's order never arrived and was refunded.

“Went to both brasserie and bistro. Great staff, exceptional food and wonderful views of the coastline. What more can one ask for.”
- William Hindle
“We popped in to the bar for a beer and decided to stay for dinner in the restaurant upstairs. The food was lovely and the service great. Only disappointments were the bird doing their business outside on the tables (we moved inside and appreciate it's difficult to control wildlife) and the cleanliness around our table, thought the mess was just on the floor until we got back and found food mess on the rear of our clothes. If we're ever in the area again we'd come back, but a note to ourselves to check the chairs.”

“Best ice cream in Llanelli, great choice of flavours and can’t fault the service. They had just closed and could my son who’s 5 was upset as he wanted an ice cream so they went out of their way to make him one.”
- James Mansfield
“Lovely cafe/Bistro right on the beach looking out over the Gower and Loughor Estuary. Food is good but it is slightly over priced and alcohol is very, very expensive ... Especially for Llanelli.”
- Stephanie Shearer
“Had delicious ice-cream outside and was lucky to get seat in shade. Looked busy for cafe inside and outside.”
