Truffle

This elegant building of white Portland stone has graced the city centre's western approach since 1934. The main building only houses administrative offices and is of no interest to the casual visitor. However, Sir Frank Brangwyn's murals (painted for the House of Lords, but considered too frivolous) that grace the interior of the Brangwyn Hall are definitely worth viewing. The Brangwyn Hall is on the sea-facing side of the building and functions as the city's main concert and reception hall.

The Guildhall

Near the Guildhall, the restaurant offers wonderful views of Swansea Bay, and is connected to a lounge bar. Good, inexpensive meals.

The Bay View

Non-pretentious but excellent Turkish restaurant with a very friendly staff. Portions are big and cheap.
