Here at iâl Restaurant, we are passionate about creating an excellent dining experience whilst caring for our environment. iâl Restaurant offers only the best contemporary cuisine, produced using a mix of home grown and locally sourced Welsh ingredients. Using the Welsh and European Farm to Fork strategy, we farm our own meat, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and produce our own dairy with our colleagues at Northop and Llysfasi farm. In collaboration with Coleg Cambria, we introduce to you a fresh approach to dining, here in the heart of Wrexham town centre. In light relaxing surrounding, submerse yourself with friends and family in our beautiful retreat. Where the music is acoustic and the lights dimmed, come sample our signature 15 hour cooked beef brisket dish or let us choose for you with our weekly specials. If the sound of that doesn't grab your attention, the smell of our fresh focaccia and sourdough we bake everyday will.

So.long as you have lots of time, ial restaurant is a wonderful venue. Excellent food , good value and most attractive ambience. Obviously it is a training centre so you must make allowance for the service being a bit slow and cautious but all the staff were very pleasant.

Today we went to Iâl for the bottomless brunch, from the moment we walked in the service was second to none. It was absolutely amazing, the cuisine, the drinks service was truly amazing and fabulous value for money. We as a family have been quite a few times for the Brunch sometimes just with the family and other times with friends and each and every time it has been faultless. Fantastic value for money, superb food and excellent service. Looking forward to our next visit. It’s always a great pleasure supporting local businesses that give wonderful service. A BIG THANK YOU to all the management and staff at Iâl 👍🏼👍🏼😘

Amazing food in a relaxed atmosphere. Visited with my husband and had a lovely evening. Couldn't fault anything. The food was delicious and the service attentive but not intrusive. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend the bara brith for dessert, but the pheasant and goats cheese tart were excellent too. My husband really enjoyed the 15 hour beef and the spicy tomato soup. We'll definitely be back!

It was our first time at the restaurant and it was my boyfriend’s birthday, I chose here as I booked last minute and it is close to home. They put us on table one which was right in the window so we could look out and he had a free glass of Prosecco. The menu was small but perfect and excellent value (we had the lunch menu) 3 x courses for £15. I had the bruschetta which was gorgeous and he had soup with a warm roll and the plates were hot! For mains I had fish which was lovely and beautifully presented and fella had beef but changed the accompaniment (which was no problem). Dessert was crème brûlée (my fave) and home made biscuit. The service was great, the staff were so attentive and the girl that served us was so friendly and asked at every course how we enjoyed the meal. We’ve told all our family and friends how great this place is, it should be packed out for a Tuesday and Wednesday lunch special and we are definitely coming back to sample the main menu Thank you for a lovely experience x

Another superb experience at ial Restaurant. What a place! My family and I frequent different restaurants each Sunday to enjoy a Sunday Roast and this place took top spot out of the 25 plus places we've eaten at to date. Words won't do the ambience, service and especially the food and its presentation justice. Treat yourselves to a visit. It may be your first visit but i can assure you, it certainly won't be the last!

Food was amazing and the service fantastic. We were in a bit of a rush as we got stuck in traffic but they were so accommodating. Beef brisket is the best I’ve ever had
