Delphine's Diner - Suffolk Coastal

Three vegans visited this restaurant for breakfast and had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the delicious vegan fritters that were served with our meal. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely.

We sat at an outdoor table and had a pleasant waitress take our order. There was some singing coming from the waitress and the chef. Our drinks arrived quickly, but after 45 minutes, we still hadn't received our Caesar salad and burger. My partner went inside to check on our order and the waitress apologized. Shortly after, the chef came out and reprimanded us for being impatient. He reiterated that all the food was freshly prepared and that they were busy. Eventually, the salad arrived, but we had to wait even longer for the burger to come out. By the time my food arrived, my partner had already finished his meal. When we went to pay, the chef was rude to another customer about it being cash only. He then lectured us again about his fresh ingredients. I couldn't resist and told him that if he stopped singing and focused on cooking, maybe he could serve dishes on time.

The cream soda float instantly transported me back to my childhood, while our son loved his hotdog, cheesy chips, and Oreo milkshake. Although the restaurant is small, it has a warm and welcoming family vibe. The staff were friendly and we had a great experience during our visit.

Perfect pancakes (maple syrup ratio bang on, as per my wife lol) Friendly service and lovely food. Delphines is a step back in time whilst serving up excellent food. Door stop toast and good portions. Also pooch friendly. Worth walking to end of the high street for.

We found Delphine's on our way to the beach. It is a fantastic little island of kitsch 1950's Americana is what is otherwise a very lovely, but one note, high street (think Waitrose By The Sea). I had my very very food fussy 12 year old daughter, Paddy, a well behaved Labradoodle and my daughter's sugar loving friend with me. My daughter asked for a special order, (burger with plain bun, and chips, no relish, no salad) which the lovely man cooking and even lovelier waitress made it very clear was not a problem. When we arrived, there was only a two seater in the corner available, and, as there were three of us, I asked if we could move to a bigger table if one became available. That was also not a problem and as soon as a bigger table was free, they prioritised cleaning it up, and we moved. Some of the fresh ingredients needed for the milkshakes on the menu hadn't been delivered that morning, but we had that explained before we ordered. My daughter's friend ordered an Oreo Milkshake which was bigger than she was. She finished it. We all had different burgers and they were all absolutely delicious. When we go back to Aldeburgh, we will be heading there again!
