Exciting times for Barry Island! The old and derelict toilet block at Nells Point is getting a fabulous makeover into the brand new Morio Lounge. This popular café and restaurant brand is known for its vibrant and relaxing venues, already a hit in places like Cardiff and Penarth. With stunning views over Whitmore Bay and the Severn Estuary, Morio Lounge promises to be a top spot for locals and tourists alike.
The Loungers UK family, which started out in Bristol and now has nearly 300 sites across the UK, will bring their unique neighbourhood café-bar vibe to Barry Island. Known for a great mix of restaurant, pub, and coffee shop culture, each Lounge has its own individual flair tailored to the local area.
Once opened, Morio Lounge will serve delicious all-day brunches, tapas, salads, burgers, and quite the selection for vegan and gluten-free diners too. Whether you’re grabbing a morning coffee or enjoying a dinner with stunning views from 9 am to 10 pm, this place aims to delight.
This transformation, led by the team behind Mumbles’ Oyster Wharf, is all part of a big push to revitalise Barry Island and boost the local economy. Can’t wait to see the doors open and enjoy the new coastal hotspot! Keep an eye out for more updates and get ready to enjoy another fantastic venue by the sea. 🍴🌊✨
