Explore Anglesey’s Food and Drink Scene

The Best Places to Eat and Drink on Anglesey

Anglesey has always been shaped by its produce and its people. Food isn’t about fuss or pretense, it’s about honest flavours, welcoming spots, and experiences that feel part of the island itself. Whether you’re here for a long weekend or a family holiday, eating out is one of the best ways to connect with Anglesey. 

(Just a note: the island is much quieter in the shoulder seasons, so it’s always worth checking opening times before you set off.) 

Breakfast on Anglesey 

Start your day in Rhosneigr at Café Notos, a deli right in the heart of the village. It’s the kind of place where you can tuck into a proper cooked breakfast or go all‑in with something indulgent like French toast before heading down to the sea. Over in Beaumaris, Pier House serves breakfast until noon and is one of those relaxed, dog‑friendly spots where you can linger a little longer over coffee. 

If you’re staying near Moelfre, Ann’s Pantry is a gem. Just steps from the beach, it’s as charming as it sounds, with weekend breakfasts, seasonal supper clubs, and afternoon teas that feel like a treat and if you’re in Benllech, Bradleys Café is perfect for a quick bite or takeaway to enjoy on the sand. 

Lunch with a View

Lunch on Anglesey is never rushed. It’s about taking your time, enjoying the scenery, and letting the food match the moment. The White Eagle in Rhoscolyn is a favourite, tucked away and full of character, it’s famously one of Prince William’s old haunts. In Benllech, The Shed is all about hearty, casual fare that warms you up after a blustery walk. 

For sweeping views, Tavern on the Bay at Red Wharf Bay is hard to beat. Sit back, soak up the panorama, and enjoy food that feels as fresh as the sea air. If you’re craving something sweet, Wavecrest Café at Church Bay is legendary for its oversized scones piled high with strawberries, jam, and cream. And in Holyhead, Harbourfront Bistro offers a more modern twist, with an internationally inspired menu and a heated deck overlooking Newry Beach, perfect whether the sun’s out or the wind’s blowing. On warmer days, Lligwy Café is a lovely seasonal spot right by the beach. From April onwards, you’ll find pizzas, pastries, and plenty of space to relax with friends or family. 

Dinner Worth Talking About….

Evenings on Anglesey are made for memories. The Lobster Pot at Church Bay is a true island institution, family‑run for generations, it’s unpretentious, welcoming, and all about seafood done right. In Trearddur Bay, The Stores is a newer addition but already loved for its focus on fresh local produce and simple, inspired cooking. 

Dylans in Menai Bridge is a North Wales classic. The original site combines maritime charm, spellbinding views down the Straits, and a menu that celebrates the best of the region. Eating here feels like part of the Anglesey experience, with its local history woven into the décor and atmosphere. Great for families. 

For hearty pub grub, The Bull in Beaumaris is a must. Their take on Anglesey Eggs, Ŵyau Ynys Môn, is a local dish of potato cake, creamed leeks, poached egg, and smoked cheddar sauce that’s as comforting as it sounds. And if you’re after something a little more contemporary, Catch 22 in Valley is a brasserie with a growing reputation. Known for bold flavours, themed nights, and excellent cocktails, it’s a place where Welsh hospitality shines. 

Stocking Up for a Night In 

Sometimes the best meals are the ones you cook yourself. Anglesey has plenty of places to pick up local produce. In Menai Bridge, & Caws is heaven for cheese lovers, with artisan farmhouse varieties, chutneys, biscuits, and even natural wines. They also stock sourdough from Trefiw Bakehouse, which is worth reserving ahead. 

Dylans General Store, also in Menai Bridge, is packed with local goods perfect for a cottage feast. And of course, no trip is complete without Halen Môn sea salt. You’ll find it in shops across the island, but visiting their HQ in Brynsiencyn gives you the full experience. 

Dog-Friendly Dining & Family-Friendly Spots 

Anglesey is welcoming for everyone, including four-legged friends. Many cafés, pubs, and eateries happily welcome dogs, making it easy to explore the island without leaving your companion behind. Our Dog-Friendly Eateries on Anglesey guide highlights the best spots for pups and owners alike.
