Some of the finest restaurants on Anglesey

Môn Mam Cymru (Anglesey Mother of Wales) is said to have helped feed the nation thanks to its fertile land, and the island off the coast of North Wales is still producing some of the best seafood, cheese, and meat in Wales. Season it all with salt drawn from the Menai Strait and you're in for a treat. 

If you’re planning a romantic break with your partner, a day out with your four-legged friend, or a walk along the Anglesey Coastal Path make sure to stop at one of these fine restaurants for a taste of Anglesey.
