No clue

Stayed at Hotel Belmar and it was a frustrating experience. We tried breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Menus are marked poorly with a simple 'V’ symbol denoting a veggie or vegan option available - however this was also next to fish options and often didn't make sense. The staff had little to no understanding of veganism despite knowing in advance our party of 5 had 3 vegans and assuring us of vegan options.

We had an array of problems and uncertainties about the food across the meals. We warned some of the bread isn't vegan (we were served this bread in a vegan option before being told only the cibatta was). Sometimes options were made vegan by removing several items (more expensive ones) and then having the extra bread added to the bill. We were also told the tortellini was vegan before saying we had allergies, this was double checked and turns out it wasn't. I would specifically say that you have allergies to eggs and milk, this probably won't be enough however. If you have allergies to these I would avoid all together! Service was also ridiculously slow considering the place wasn't busy at all.

After one evening meal 3 of the 5 of us had the tamal for dessert and were all sick in the night.

When the food did come and it was vegan(?...) it was okay. Nothing special and not worth the pricetags.

Also note that the onsite brewery uses isinglass (fish guts) to filter the beer so not vegetarian or vegan. Super disappointing.
