As the 25th approaches, many of us are already salivating at the prospect of a fantastic meal in splendid restaurants Llandudno. One of the most picturesque places to be any time of year, Christmas really brings Llandudno to life each December.
There is so much on offer around the glorious town with so many establishments having their own unique spin on Yuletide grub. From the traditional to the bizarre, you’re sure to find something for everyone and even the picky members of the family! Wales Live has compiled some simple menu choices for you below .
For starters, you can try a more conventional yet still satisfying parsnip and apple soup which always goes down a treat. A light opening is preferred by plenty of households but some people just want be full before they’ve even started. If you’re feeling experimental and guilt-free about calories, try a succulent crispy confit duck leg served with homemade orange and onion marmalade to really set your appetite off. Are you after something slightly more exotic? Perhaps a classic prawn cocktail couple with the unusual selection of quail eggs will satisfy your taste buds.
Moving onto the main, it will be hard to ignore the staple of any plate that is turkey. Now, as a meat, turkey can come across often dry unless it’s cooked to perfection and this is something that restaurants across Llandudno have perfected. If you want to stray away from the big bird, try a simpler meat like a rib-eye steak or a mouth-watering lamb shoulder which is simply stunning when combined with gentle lashings of red wine. Any vegetarians will be best served with some tasty roast butternut squash combined with excellent stilton risotto.
Christmas just would not be Christmas without the pudding to go with a big meal. Love it or hate it, this much loved dessert is a must-try for any of you traditionalists out there and is best served with some cream to really enrich the overall offering. Elsewhere, look to fresh fruit pavlova if you’re after something slightly lighter or crème brulee for those of you with a sweet tooth for the decadent yet wholesome tastes.
The Queens Head Restaurant in Llandudno is a firm favourite for Christmas lunches with locals and tourists alike.
