The Ll\u0177n Peninsula is known for its delicious local cuisine, with plenty of seafood and locally-sourced ingredients on offer. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from, offering everything from traditional Welsh dishes to international cuisine.<\/p>\n

We recently visited the newly opened Nwdl<\/a> in Abersoch, offering fusion Asian cuisine and we loved it! We also recommend The Potted Lobster<\/a> in Abersoch, The Cliffs in Morfa Nefyn<\/a> and Whitehall in Pwllheli<\/a> – plus for the best traditional fried breakfast head to Buffers<\/a> in Pwllheli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you’re staying in self-catered accommodation and looking to stock your fridge, or you want to pick up some produce for a BBQ, try to avoid the big chain supermarkets, and instead support small local producers and suppliers.<\/p>\n

One of our favourite farm shops in the area is The Farm Gate, Mynytho<\/a> only 5 minutes drive from Madryn Castle – they sell everything from fresh seasonal fruit & veg, locally farmed meat & dairy, to local jams & condiments, and freshly baked bread, pies & pastries – plus they serve hot drinks and food, so you can enjoy your morning coffee and bacon bap whilst you shop!<\/p>\n
