A FAST food chain based in North Wales is to open another new site this summer.

Hungry Cow, which opened its first restaurant in Holywell in February 2022, will soon be setting up at the former takeaway site of Virgilio?s Portuguese restaurant on Penhryn Road.

The chain, known for its huge burgers, wings and loaded fries, opened its second restaurant in Mold early this year.

It also has two express kitchens; one in Llandudno, which opened last month; and one in Prestatyn.

?We have taken on the former Virgilio?s takeaway site, and renovations are well on their way to transform it to a Hungry Cow bar and restaurant.

?We will be operating dine in, takeaway and delivery.

?We will be serving a range of cocktails, draught lager, Welsh craft ales, and a selection of spirits and ciders.?

Llandudno restaurant serves up 'modern Italian food with a Welsh twist'
Sapore is 'mini in size but maxi in meal appeal', our reviewer found

If you fancy a taste of la dolce vita without travelling far, look no further than Sapore Restaurant ? a delightful family run eatery that brings the genuine cuisine and atmosphere of Italy to the heart of Llandudno.

In Italian the word ?sapore? means taste or flavour and here it is provided in abundance, as my dining companion Elaine and I found recently when we sampled some of the house specialities. Mini in size but maxi in meal appeal and hospitality, this unpretentious restaurant tucked away near the top of Upper Mostyn Street offers an extravaganza of authentic Italian food that is lovingly cooked and attractively presented.

Importantly, it's affordable! Previously known as Lawtons Cafe Grill, the premises reopened in August 2021 in the hands of new owners Adriana and Lorenzo Lo Conte and their family, who successfully ran Mamma Rosa Restaurant in Craig y Don for nearly a decade.

Coast replaces Alana Spencer at seafront cafe site in Llandudno as doors reopen
The Apprentice winner announced her departure last month but the paddling pool kiosk is now back open

Popular cafe brand Coast has opened its seafront site in Llandudno after the departure of Apprentice winner Alana Spencer.

The seafront site is owned by Conwy council and the tenancy was secured by Darren Randle, who runs the Coast cafe and gift shop and Salty Cow milkshake bar in Rhos-on-Sea.

His team set about transforming the site after getting the keys, nice to see the exterior colour changed, This week it opened to the public. The paddling pool next to the site remains empty due to problems finding a contractor to carry out anti-slip safety work but it is hoped this will be rectified in the very near future.
