"We had a lovely meal at Paysanne with excellent service. It’s a small restaurant so do book ahead. Our favourite dish was the mushroom starter but everything was very good. We paid £50 per head (including tip) for 3 courses and a half litre carafe of wine. Will be coming back here"
Alison Melling
"Lovely gem of a restaurant. The food was delicious and cooked on site. This was one of the best restaurant meals we have had for a long time. Many customers seem to have come several times. I enjoyed it so much i forgot to take some photos.but here is a desert."

Marina O’Loughlin reviews The Jackdaw in Conwy, Wales
(As it seems to be around these parts: the following evening we go to a little French joint called Paysanne in Deganwy that looks as though it’s in someone’s front room. In the Seventies. Not filled with confidence towards its more fancy-pants dishes, I order steak au poivre. Maybe the sauce could have been more “poivred”, maybe the frites are catering-pack jobs, but the fat slab of sirloin is ambrosial. Also, the owner-maître d’s eccentric everyone’s-a-pal-here charm is worth the trip alone.)
Paysanne | French Restaurant | Deganwy, Conwy
Paysanne celebrates its twenty fifth anniversary in 2013, and it is still serving honest French provincial food to the denizens of Deganwy and beyond. A pleasing location overlooking the River Conwy is one of the assets at this neatly attired, family-run restaurant, which also stands directly opposite the town's tiny railway station. The kitchen makes good use of indigenous Welsh produce (especially seafood) for menu that offers a safe run through the traditional repertoire.
10 North Wales foodie recommendations from Paysanne owner, Cai Ross
When I’m not writing things like The North Wales Fish & Seafood cook book (oh, did I accidentally mention that), you’ll find me running Paysanne in Deganwy, a French-country style bistro that’s been feeding the fine folk of North Wales since 1988. One of the downsides of running a restaurant is that you don’t get much time to visit all the other eateries around you: they’re mostly all shut the same nights that we are.

Opened in 1988 thanks to its original owners’ sincere love for provincial French cuisine, Paysanne is still a family business, now run by their son.
