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.

Excellent food with bags of flavour beautifully presented. Staff were attentive and polite. Good value with the drinks included. Only feedback would be to space out the courses more and explain what each dish is. Definitely will go back as really good experience

The food was excellent and the wine pairings faultless. The staff were attentive and efficient and were very good at dealing with a bullying and difficult customer at an adjoining table. Easily the best meal i have had in Wrexham for a long time.
