Dining options: Reservations
Description: We are a family of three award winning waterside restaurants in the beautiful towns of Menai Bridge, Criccieth & Llandudno, North Wales. Dylan's Criccieth is our second restaurant, found on the coast of Pen Llŷn | the Llŷn Peninsula, Gwynedd, a stone’s throw from the beach, within the iconic Art Deco styled Morannedd building. We count ourselves incredibly fortunate to be custodians of the building, welcoming our customers to this wonderful site every day. We have made this our mission, to celebrate the local produce, character & natural beauty of North Wales.

£8.15 for a Wrexham lager (in a plastic) and a bag of crisps…

I’ve eaten at their restaurant in Llandudno and Menai Bridge and was wholly underwhelmed by the lack of quality or flavour - especially when charged such high prices. Dylan’s are great at marketing / branding and have fantastic locations — but that’s it. Don’t be conned into thinking it’s classy.

Hello there Charles,

We're so glad you enjoy visiting our restaurants for the locations & views. We look after our buildings, and they look after us well in return!

I think we'd hope we have a bit more than marketing & branding, but again, are glad you appreciate that aspect of our work too.

What would you be *happy* to pay for a pint of Wrexham (in a plastic, to prevent breakages & injury on the beach & boardwalk) & a packet of crisps?

Hopefully in the we'll give you reason to come back for more than just the view & the atmosphere.

Best wishes,

-Team Criccieth

Miserable jobsworth wouldn't serve us the drinks we asked for as we wanted to drink them outside. Yes there is a van selling just one beer, one lager and one cider, but inside is the real choice. He wasn't busy. There was no one else waiting to be served. Petty and unnecessary lack of customer service after walking from Porthmadog on a hot day not what you want.

We ate here three times during a week's holiday in Criccieth as the food was so tasty! Lovely building and atmosphere too. The blade of beef brisket, the mussels, and the burgers were really terrific. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly efficient service with a wonderful sea view. The walk to the restaurant along the sea front is a treat as well!

The bar service and drinks at this place are truly exceptional! The ambiance is vibrant, the staff is friendly especially Dyddgu, our server, and the drinks are top-notch (every sip was a delight). It's a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates quality drinks and excellent service!
