Dylan’s - Criccieth

We visited the Dylan’s in Criccieth, and had a really good meal. Several vegan options. I had lentil ragu which came with vegan mozzarella and it was delicious. Also had vegan cheesy garlic bread, really good.

Pros: Vegan options , Friendly staff, Gorgeous sea views

Nice Locations, Few Options Available

Dylan's has three restaurants in North West Wales (Menai Bridge, Llandudno, and Criccieth), and the menus are the same in each location. There are a handful of vegan mains available, including a burger, a poke bowl, and tacos. Garlic bread and mixed olives are available as vegan starters, and there are no vegan dessert options. Despite this, the food is consistently delicious, and I particularly enjoy their poke bowl.

Pros: Great Food, Nice Views

Cons: Not Enough Variety, No Desserts

Limited choice

A really popular and busy restaurant with good food and a great view. I’ve been several times with friends and family and it would be nice to see them add more vegan items to the menu.

Update:
Just been to Dylan’s again and the choice was even more limited I’m afraid. Gone was the seitan katsu curry. I had vegan tacos which were ok.

Pros: Vegan beers clearly marked

Lovely restaurant, lovely food!

This restaurant was so cute and the food we had was insanely good!!! The servers were very friendly too. Only downside is that it’s very expensive, so it’s a nice treat.

Pros: Tasty vegan food, Great aesthetic, Friendly servers

Cons: Expensive

Good options

Had the vegan katsu and the poke bowl. They were both very good, the poke bowl was fresh and yummy. It was very busy and we had to wait for a table, so booking in advance may be best.

Not enough vegan options

I agree with other reviewers, the food here is of very high quality, but there are very few options for vegans unfortunately, they could easily add a couple more

We had the seitan Katsu curry which was amazing, a really solid portion size too, and vegan garlic bread with tomato and mozzarella (this was undistinguishable from a 🍕)

Pros: High quality food, Great views , Friendly staff

Cons: Not enough options

Great Food / Not Enough Choices

I had the Vegan bao buns and Karsu Seitan and yes it was gorgeous and I love that they have incorporated vegan Asian style food.

I'd love a wider range of options or at least make it clearer.

Yes it's expensive but I think my meals were worth it.

Not a lot of vegan choices

Literally a couple of options with a vegan bowl (nice and tasty) and a vegan burger. Supply and demand I suppose but they could do with a few more vegan options on the menu. There are quite a few options for veggies.

Pros: Location/view, Non vegans will enjoy it

Cons: Fairly expensive compared to portion size, Very few vegan options

Great choice but still not enough variety - expensive for what you get.

We went for lunch. I have been a few times over the years both as a meat eater and vegan. I had the VG chicken in a basket the first time as a vegan but you get THREE strips of seitan for £14. Not worth it at all.
This time I went I had the VG tacos, roasted sweet potato. The tacos came out and were served cold. I’ve read a few reviews and everyone else has had them cold too so I assume this is how they’re served but in opinion they should be warm. I mean roasted sweet potato implies it’s going to be warm! The sauce on the tacos wasn’t too great, it was like a version of the Nando’s vegan perinaise but not as good. The other half had garlic bread and liked it!
Next up the burgers, I had the generic VG meaty one, which I’ll admit, I can make much better at home! I couldn’t even taste the relish or Mayo it said was on it, I even lifted the bun to check.
The other half said his seitan burger was nice. Unfortunately the chips aren’t homemade chunky chips like they used to be. They taste more like frozen ones, which sucks because they used to be my favourite thing about Dylans!
The two tacos cost me £7.95 which was a small. I thought they’d make a good starter but I felt they were expensive for what they were. The burgers cost £13/£14 which I thought was expensive for what they are.
The staff need to learn to bring out salt and vinegar as standard when there are chips. They do ask if you fancy any sauces but the fact the salt and vinegar isn’t on the table is silly to me?

Our meal with two starters and two burgers, one coke and one appletiser came to £45.

Expensive for what it is. People say oh it’s where it is… but I live in Red Wharf Bay and the restaurants right by the sea here aren’t as crazily priced and if they are you get your moneysworth.

Won’t rush back any time soon! As someone who lives here permanently it would be nice to have a few more choices, a pasta dish for example (vegan Mac or carbonara) and a tomato based one?

Pros: A few vegan options to be fair, Good choice of drinks, Location

Cons: Expensive for what it is, No pasta options , All rice options are spicy!

Decent selection, needs more herbs

Great location next to the Menai Bridge, lots of outdoor seating and great views from inside. They had vegan pizza, salads, burgers and tacos etc. A good selection. We all had the seitan style chicken burger and seitan vegan chicken in a basket, it was okay. Looked great, could have tasted so much better, it just needed to a have some more herbs and flavouring.

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Great location

not very impressed

sry to say.. there are much better options nearby.
I had the vegan chicken burger. The patty was very boring and almost tasteless. Dry, small bun. Not very creative toppings. Big fries the same. Not a very good taste. Vegan mayo also really lame.
I tried some of the (cheesy) pizza. The dough was also not very rich in flavor. So I will not come back.
