There’s a lot to like about Dylan’s, not least the location right on the edge of the Menai Strait – the best tables give matchless waterside views. It is one of a trio of family-friendly restaurants in North Wales known for their friendly and engaging service, kind pricing and wide choice. This means properly crisp mac 'n' cheese bites made with good Snowdonia Cheddar and served with a lightly spiced tomato ketchup, as well as assorted pizzas, tacos and burgers, Welsh sirloin steak with fries, and a fair few Asian-influenced dishes such as teriyaki sea bass and Bangladeshi beef bhuna. The regular menu doesn't change a great deal, so daily specials such as gochujang chicken ssambap (Korean chicken and lettuce wraps) are worth noting. Dylan's signature dish is mussels, which (as the menu explains in some detail) are currently sourced from the Scottish coast while the local Menai stocks recover; they are served as a large or small bowl with marinière sauce. Sticky toffee pudding made with Wild Horse Brewery ale stands out among a selection of desserts that also includes a mixed berry vacherin and coconut panna cotta with tropical fruits. The affordable wine list traverses the globe, although other libations stay closer to home – including local ales and keenly priced cocktails, made mostly with Welsh spirits.
