You are on the right track Hugo but it isn't Abersoch.

I thought that because of the shadows in the photo it was on the southern Llyn Peninsula but if it isn't Abersoch then is it Pwllheli?

Dylan's at Criccieth is my guess.

Did you enjoy the food? I have only had Mussels at Menai Bridge, it was excellent, I think I will be a regular at the new Dylan's in Llandudno.

Yes, I like the food. I have only ever had fish dishes but there is plenty of variety including pizzas and snacks.
There was no lobster available this time so I started with crab cakes and then had sea bass. Mr H had whitebait and then sea trout with sweet potato and pak choi.
I have eaten at Menai Bridge several times but this was the first visit to the Criccieth branch.
The location is fantastic and I was so pleased to see the building being put to good use as the last time I was there it was looking rather forlorn.
I think they were understaffed this visit as we were asked to wait about half an hour before a table became available even though we could see spare places.
It was no hardship to sit outside on the terrace first with a drink though. The food was also slow to arrive but we were in no rush. The crab cakes arrived only warm though.
There is a smaller menu for the bar and outside terrace and after 2.30pm a smaller one still for the afternoon service.
I too am waiting with great anticipation for the Llandudno one to open but I think I will leave it a while for them to get organised as I don't want my first visit to be a disappointment if the service isn't good at the beginning.
What a delight it will be to get a window table there after a cocktail under the dome!

I thought of Dylan's first of all and had a look on Google Street view but couldn't see the posts and the boardwalk so I discounted it and didn't have any other clue except that it was on the Llyn.
A lovely location and good quiz Hollins     $good$

After we had a walk in Criccieth a while ago,we enjoyed a coffee and cake in Catwaladers, not quite as grand as Dylan's but still very nice with stunning views from the back

Mr H enjoyed an ice cream from there on our first day but I was too full after our lunch at Dylan's.

In the first picture I thought that Cadair Idris was in the background and this latest photo looks similar to how I remember Castell Y Bere.   
Did you go down to Abergynolwyn after your stay at Criccieth?

No, we didn't go there Hugo.
The place we visited wasn't far off route on our way back home from Criccieth.
The building was a wedding present and there is an amusing story about it.

No, sorry, not there.
The building was owned by an architect.
