Bangor

Blue Sky Cafe
Behind Abbey National, High Street
+44 1248 361652

Vegetarian restaurant, but not strictly for vegetarians. Pleasant cafe with surfwear shop attached. Can be easily missed on the high street, as it is down a small uninviting alleyway, but don't be put off.

The Black Bull Inn (JD Wetherspoon)
107 High Street
+44 1248 387900
Sun–Thu 9AM–midnight; Fri/Sat 9AM–1AM

Typical food menu and drink service. Music is now played sometimes loudly, but family-friendly atmosphere. Food varies in quality and is not a home-made meal, typical from a high-street brand chain. Can provide the venue, but not the atmosphere. If you're looking for a good insight into Bangor culture, this will more remind you of a small bar in any city or town.

Welsh lamb and beef feature prominently as does freshly caught fish such as salmon, brown trout, white crab and lobster. Vegetarian preferences are also well catered for with organic fruit and vegetable producers in the area.Some of the local eateries include:

Papillon
347a High Street
+44 1248 360248

A very smart and elegant little restaurant that is a diamond in the rough. The food is fantastic and great value for money. A student favorite for its cheap lunches to remind them what nutrition actually is!

Orient Expresso
364, High St
+44 7811980237
M-Sa 9AM-5PM
at the front of Kellett travel

A small coffee shop, serves a variety of sandwiches, wraps, paninis and jacket potatoes, as well as homemade pies, burgers and weekly specials that change every week. Includes a wide range of homemade cakes and cupcakes.

There are more, and they're small private places with varied food and menus. It's worth asking a local!
