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.

Only 5 stars because six is not a choice. Ambiance view food & service superb. Had the mussels. Their speciality. None better anywhere in the world. Heledd a perfect waitress. There when you needed her but never hovering. Lots to see in CRICCIETH but don’t miss Dylan’s Stunning views of the sea from all tables

Beautiful views, delicious food and great service! Highly recommended, but book because they fill up fast! Really good value and loads of choice for vegans, allergies and fussy eaters. Special thanks to our excellent waitress Marcie who looked after us so well :)

A warm welcome plus a lovely meal and super views made for a nice early evening dinner. The chowder received good feedback from us and the churros and the sticky toffee pud desserts were sublime. Our wonderful waitress Nicole was first class and her excellent service helped make this a great experience. We will be back!

We have visited several times since covid,each time items we have ordered have not been available. This evening the starter should have included edamame beans. When it arrived it was served with garden peas, the waitress asked if the starters were ok, I queried the peas she advised that she should have told us that when we ordered! There was no apology or offer anything else. If we had been advised this when ordering we would have chosen differently. There is significant price difference between edamame and garden peas, the bill was not adjusted for this.

In addition, the toilets did not have any toilet roll there were multiple roll inners on the floor, the toilets had not been cleaned for hours.

I am unsure if we will return. Dylan's was always a great experience and a treat for our family, our recent visits have been disappointing and standards have dropped.

Hello there, thank you for your support & the fact you've come so many times in the past few years. That means a huge amount & says a lot!

We're really sorry that on your most recent visit you've sensed such a difference, & we're saddened to hear that on a couple of occasions we've not had the options you've chosen - this is a shame - & certainly not our usual standard.

We'll continue to work on what we do, and sincerely hope to 'wow' you once again on a future visit.

Our very best wishes,

-Team Criccieth
