Vegan Choices at Dulse Restaurant, Tŷ Milford Waterfront
When the lodge and restaurant first opened, I used to be delighted to listen to that although there could be an emphasis on seafood, which is sensible, given the situation, there would even be vegan choices obtainable.
My vegan starter was Quinoa Salad, Butternut Squash, Edamame Beans, pickled watermelon, toasted seeds with seaweed and lime French dressing.

The blue sea and sky appeared so stunning…..

Apologies, I do know my breakfast appears to be like a bit beige, however I wasn’t within the temper for baked beans which might have added color and one other “5 a day” to my plate. On the scorching breakfast buffet, there was the same old sausage, bacon and eggs. For vegans and vegetarians there have been baked beans, mushrooms and sautéed Pembrokeshire potatoes.

They have been scrumptious. The bread can also be appropriate for vegans and there may be appropriate for vegans unfold obtainable. I’ve to say the toaster is amazing- my bread went spherical speedy fast and got here out completely toasted! I’m wondering if that is one other perk of a brand new lodge they usually all step by step decelerate as they age?! Personally, for me including a grilled tomato and a few spinach would have made my breakfast good, however it was very passable anyway.
Whereas consuming my breakfast, once more I loved the marina view. It was fairly fascinating watching folks out for his or her morning walks with their canines and many runners arriving for Milford Waterfront’s weekly parkrun.
