Llandudno Bay Hotel Restaurant in Conwy

We had a great pre-show meal at Dylan's Llandudno we're wonderfully looked after by very friendly staff. And so lovely to find such a wonderfully warm and friendly greeting once we'd come in from the icy wind and rain outside!

Really great food here, ordered seafood pasta which was delicious and an amazing pizza. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Excellent foods and warm service by Sean. A nice dining experience!

Visited earlier this month whilst staying in Llandudno for the Welsh Open Snooker. We’d had a recommendation and weren’t disappointed. I had the Gambas Pil Pil and it was fantastic. My husband had the halloumi burger and was equally pleased. Staff were great and we will definitely return when we’re back next year!!

Visited for lunch during a trip to Llandudno, staff were welcoming and service was great throughout. Food was delicious and plentiful, very well presented and staff checked throughout if we were happy. Attentive but not intrusive.

Mi amigo y yo tomamos el té de la tarde que estaba delicioso. Un montón de comida y los pasteles eran absolutamente impresionantes. El personal era atento pero no intrusivo. Ya he vuelto a reservar para volver.

Got an idea that this is one of the best a decent restaurant in the area. So give it a trial tonight. Something I need I have to alert the manager that food preparation needs a second look. Tonight we had three dishes, a soup of the day, mussel and dirty pork. I'd give a 5*. Nevertheless, we found the mussel and the soup, yes, the soup, were too sandy to take. The soup was more on the salty side as well. We told the young lady about the sandy mussel. She quickly apologised, explained and offered to change. That's highly appreciated. I took half of the soup already so I didn't bother to let her know about it's problem. It's quite common in UK to have food cooked with sand for some... health reason? for better digestion? No, just kidding. It's about the food preparation. That's really not a difficult job to allow the mussel to spell all sand out and to wash thoroughly the root of the leeks. Blender can't blend the sand into tasty smoothie unless there's a miracle. We replaced the mussel with seabass tacos which was average as we'd expect. Tonight the restaurant was not even a quarter full so there shouldn't be any excuse for the food quality.

Has really enjoyed dinner for tonight in Dylan’s the staff very friendly and helpful highly recommend

Great place to sit and enjoy the scenery. The food and drinks were fantastic. Our server, Grace, was amazing. Great service all around!

Delish! Milly, Grace and Joe really looked after us!

Visited Dylan's before going to the theatre tonight. Told the staff we we had theatre booked however our order wasn't taken for ages and we had to ask for it to be taken. Ordered the Lasagne and small chowder. It came reasonably quick and had no complaint about the chowder however the Lasagne was disappointing as it had obviously been microwaved for too long as the outer pasta was not edible as it was hard and ended up leaving most of it. Waitress came over and I told her the issue and she said she could see how hard it was, was offered something else but didn't have the time. I wasn't charged for it but that's not the point, food should be served in perfect condition every time especially when high end prices are charged. Very disappointing visit.

Went new years eve, the staff very friendly and the food was excellent. Plenty of choice on the menu, would definitely recommend.

Finally got to visit Dylans while on a business trip to Llandudno was so looking forward to it. Building, interior and ambiance fab. Service polite and informative. Food however, was a disappointment...as food is what we were there for it was a shame. Seafood Lunguini was very dry with practically no sauce and the seafood was overly 'fishy' in flavour, and only contained small shrimps and a few mussels. I discarded most of the seafood and only ate 2/3rds of the dry linguini. No 'side' of garlic bread was on offer which was a shame. Beef burger was nothing special and the chips....some soft and tasty, some hard inside, so hit and miss. The coleslaw was good, but a tiny portion. Would not chose to eat here again. It was a simple pasta and burger meal. Should have been so much better for the price.

Staff were great and attentive, food was wonderful, desserts were great.

Lovely meal in a beautiful setting. Our host Beth was wonderful. Very cheerful & made us very welcome.

Great place, really nice food and drink. The seafood tacos were lovely.

I had a late lunch on 29th December 2024 at your venue in Llandudno today.  I go to Llandudno regularly and I often stop at this restaurant.   I noticed the same issue as last time I visited last August.  I ordered the seafood chowder, small portion. The taste was nice but the recurrent issues were that their chef leaves small hard shells in the soup.  This is a serious safety hazard for one could choke on those shells. Seafood chowder or clam chowder are my favourite starters and I had them in different countries, USA, Canada, Scotland, England and Wales. Nowhere else but at this venue have I found shells in my soup.  The second recurrent issue with the soup was that seafood and vegetables in it were again undercooked and too hard in the mouth.  At the high prices they charge for their food I should be able to expect nothing but the best. This now makes me think twice about visiting Dylan's again to eat. The shell safety issue is too serious, hence I have to give only 1 star. I emailed their management but was ignored.

The service here is superb. The staff are friendly and super quick to help, but it’s a shame I can’t say that about the food. The linguine was dry and bland. The burger was dry. The chowder was salty. The mussels looked okay, but I didn’t like the sand. This should’ve been a fast food restaurant. The £26 linguine was terrible and totally not worth it and tempting was tiny! The place and ambience are amazing. I’m highly disappointed that the food didn’t deliver whatsoever. On the other hand, the one in Menai Bridge is 10/10. The one in Conwy is just as bad. I remember eating there, and the potatoes were raw. I sent it back to have it cooked properly, and it came back raw again. I’d love to meet the chef and see how they cook the food. Come on, guys, you have a great location and a superb place. What about the food??? I’m normally not so fussy about food, but if I’m going to pay so much money, I need my moneys worth.

Lovely restaurant, food and staff. Thanks

Just had drinks but service was very friendly. Very clean and had a good vibe.

The food was just lovely, I would go as far as saying top quality. This place is all bout perfect seasoning .. I had the dirty pig, which was amazing. We had a nice romantic meal. Service was good. I highly recommend a visit. (We booked but I don't think you need to winter.)

Such a lovely meal. The artisan bread was elite. Really impressed.

Food was good and tasty. The problem we had was another customer bought 2 big dogs in on the table next to us and the dogs were sat next to the table. Their head was the height of the table. Dogs did not sit still. We asked to move which we did get moved. Enjoyed the meal and will be back.

The food was incredible but the service was not so good. They confused somebody else's drinks with ours ( I don't think my 10 year old drinks beer!!) and food took around 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive! The service lacked but the food was incredible so yes, I would definitely recommend. 😊

Great place, great service and lovely food. Doggy welcome too.

Yo, hermana y mamá tuvimos una comida fantástica antes de ir al teatro esta semana. Nos dieron la bienvenida tan pronto como llegamos y el personal de espera era increíblemente servicial y agradable. La hamburguesa de pollo era grande y muy sabrosa y mi hermana realmente disfrutó del Mac & cheese. Los postres también estaban deliciosos, nos gustó mucho la presentación y los sabores. Especialmente el pequeño joux de frambuesa y la miga de chocolate con los brownies. El Sauvignon era muy agradable y recomendaría a cualquiera que aprecia los sabores de Nueva Zelanda. Después de haber visitado La Cabra (más arriba en el baile de graduación en la Explanada) y Cae Mor al lado del teatro recientemente, este lugar me temo que los puso en vergüenza. En comparación con The Goat, la comida en Llandudno Bay era mucho mejor calidad y mucho más razonable precio. Y en comparación con el Cae Mor, el servicio era mucho más atento. Definitivamente vendremos aquí para una comida pre-teatro en unas semanas.

Food average at best. Burger was dry, 1 slice of tomato .. that's it

Super nice location, very nice staff and the food was also very tasty. We felt so comfortable that we stayed there twice for several hours.

A real let down and frustrating to have paid so much Disappointing as the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Food took quite a long time to come out, but we weren't too fussed. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing for the price. With the mussels and chowder it was just cream with slightly different herbs - chowder each mouthful the same (I suppose you could argue that's to be expected but it was really lacking in different textures and flavours). The hake was good quality fish but the accompaniments were very lacking in flavour or complement to the fish. I felt myself thinking "there are other fats than cream for cooking!". With fish that seemed as fresh as it was, I would think the chef would relish the opportunity to make some really tasty fully-rounded dishes where each ingredient complements the others. Very disappointed at the end of the day - waste of money. Sunday roast pictures look good but we were frustrated that we went there - it was because it looked nice from the outside.

We called yesterday for dinner and loved our time here from start to finish. The team were all super polite and chatty all three courses were tasty and well prepared. Special mention goes to the beef Tacos I had for starters. The drinks selection was decent too. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely, everything I expected from. My first visit to Llandudno and I had the most wonderful seafood chowder at Dylan’s. And a generous tiramisu dessert too. Highly recommended!!!

I dined at Dylan’s as it was close to where I was staying and it was amazing the staff were very attentive and the food was so delicious highly recommend

Really nice atmosphere, and first class service and food. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to eat. Dog friendly too, so that was a real bonus

Asked for a pint of Guinness and got a can of Guinness, 2 pints over £14 scandalous

Loved this place , tasteful in decor… great view of the bay … Accommodating staff … Caitlyn in particular was fantastic for us.. My only feedback for improvement is to align the Gents decor with the main restaurant it lets down an excellent venue .

5*. Food was very nice (main and desert) and the service was really good. Nice that there was no ‘optional service charge’ added automatically to the bill.

We had a really great experience at Dylan’s Llandudno. The food was fantastic. Freshly prepared to perfection. Our service was professional and friendly. Thanks to Cait and Paige for taking such good care of us. If you are in the area and craving seafood like we were, look no further than Dylan’s!

Thank you Dylan's Llandudno for a wonderful afternoon. Myself and my two friends were served by Molly, Sean and Natalie who all greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We went for the Sunday Lunch Club and the food was absolutely delicious, we couldn't believe the size of the spread, we had enough for a huge lunch and have still ended up bringing some home. Both the chicken and ham hock were cooked to perfection, the frazzle dusted roast potatoes were to die for, topped off by loads of gravy! We'll definitely be returning.

Molly, Sean & Natalie treated us to a wonderful afternoon of gorgeous food & drinks to celebrate a best friend arriving from overseas! The photos really do speak for themselves, everything was plentiful and extremely tasty, served with great Welsh drinks (Local ale, Welsh Cider & Gin). We couldn't have asked for a better place to take our visitor from the US for their first meal out in North Wales. 2nd time to a Dylan's joint (previously for an evening meal at Menai) and I'll definitely be back! We had quite a bit of meat left over (as we wanted to leave room for desserts!), without question they brought us a box to take it all home to have some later!

I am visiting from San Francisco and my friends took me to Dylan’s for a fabulous Sunday lunch. The decor was lovely, atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the food was all fantastic. The price and portions are excellent. This is the best ham I have had in years and the sticky toffee pudding was such a delicious way to end the meal. The service was fantastic, shout out to Sean who checked us in, Natalie who took our drinks order, and Molly who served us our food and took a picture of us. I hope to visit before I leave!

We managed to get a table last minute and were not disappointed. The menu was vast and it was hard to choose ( a good thing) as there were so many amazing options. Beautiful food, especially the artisan loaf. We loved the home made sauces and salt, lovely touches. We would definitely return again if in the area.

Food was okay, nothing special for the price but likely more expensive given beach front location. Chicken in a basket wasn’t anything spectacular and the tacos were quite small with not a huge amount of fish so suggest ordering a side as well. I would try something else on the menu next time

Health standards in the back is disgusting, re microwaved food and staff wearing kitchen wear to do bins and cook food without changing gloves or hairnets and the rat problem out back is diabolical, place should be shut down for health concerns and not their doing the bins and going through rubbish with same hair net and gloves they wear going back into the kitchen urrrr

Travelled 2 hours to get to the restaurant as it was booked for a special occasion booked for lunch no sunday lunch available even though we had been told at the time of booking that it would be on the menu ordered promptly as we had a small baby with us took over a hour for our food to arrive .it was awful the burger was dry and like cardboard .other guest ordered the marinated chicken and it was awful. We left most of the food was planning to stay for pudding and drinks but left . Awful experience so disappointed overated

Fabulous dog friendly restaurant. I’ve returned to Dylan’s many times. The food is good, the staff are lovely and the location is wonderful. I had the Welsh blade of beef and would highly recommend. Cinnamon churros for dessert didn’t disappoint

Really lovely place! Great location, right on the prom, lovely on the inside as well. The staff were lovely and efficient, the food was amazing and I would say reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere in there too

Lovely meal at Dylan's, the Cuban calzone is to die for! Service was a bit slow but don't think there was many staff on for how busy it was, and they were very friendly and attentive. We went on a Monday so it wasn't hard to get a table but it does get busy so book ahead!

This was our first time at Dylan's and it didn't dissapoint. We went with our 2 digs and had a reservation for a Saturday evening. Location, setting and atmosphere was great with our table not hidden away like some Dog Friendly places. The food was great and all locally sourced. The mussels exceptional. Would definitely go here again. Worth the 5 stars based on our experience.

Nice atmosphere, good service, and food.

Been to 2 of the Dylans before so knew what to expect. Not much change to the menu in 3 years. It is a bit pricey for a chicken burger and the beer was so overpriced. My food was cold but we had to get back to the car so didn't complain. Easy to spend £50+ so not cheap. Staff are helpful, friendly and professional. Worth a first time visit but we won't rush back. Not happy with dogs being allowed either.

Found this little gem on the first day of our break in Llandudno. Four of us had scrumptious Welsh Rarebit with poached egg, bacon and side salad, it was delicious and very reasonable, with quick and friendly service. Having seen the array of cakes on offer, we came back to sample those the next day. Alongside a delicious hot chocolate, the cakes were gorgeous too, dog friendly too, I’m sure we’ll be back for a visit again before we leave, thank you.

Very nice restaurant and staff. Bit pricy but worth it

Mussels are to die for and it is their speciality I recommend this restaurant for anyone craving some very good mussels/ seafood and food in general

Went here with the wife, as it was very close to where we were staying. We both had the Welsh burgers. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding and the wife had the cheese board. We were both served by Jess, who was really helpful and super friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was lovely, the food itself was freshly cooked and very tasty. If I lived here I would certainly return.

Wonderful service as always! We absolutely love coming to Dylan’s whenever we visit Llandudno! Thanks again to Grace and Paige for their lovely hospitality and quick service!😄

The linguine was too soft and lacked the al dente texture I was expecting, with the flavor also being too light and not meeting my expectations. The soup was good, but the salmon cubes didn’t seem as fresh as I’d hoped. However, the ice cream was brilliant! The lemon and blueberry flavors were incredibly refreshing, and the vanilla ice cream wasn’t overly sweet, making it really enjoyable. Regarding the tiramisu, it truly stood out compared to the usual versions. Typically, after a few bites of tiramisu, the sweetness becomes overwhelming, making it hard to finish. However, this one was exceptionally smooth, with the sweetness perfectly balanced. I suspect they might have reduced the sugar in the recipe compared to traditional versions. This adjustment, combined with its silky texture, made it much easier to enjoy without feeling too rich or heavy. Although the flavors of the coffee liqueur and chocolate powder weren’t as pronounced, this actually worked in its favor. The subtlety allowed the dessert to shine without being overpowering, making it a delightful treat that didn’t overwhelm the palate. The careful balance of sweetness and smooth texture made it far more enjoyable than the overly sweet, dense tiramisus typically found elsewhere.

Beautiful setting and the food was delicious but given the upmarket nature it was disappointing to see just the usual wines by the glass, would have been nice to have a wider choice given the quality of the food

When we arrived at our hotel in Llandudno, we asked for recommendations for a fish restaurant. We were told Dylan's was the best place. We booked a table. First impressions were favourable. My food was good. My wife's was very disappointing. She ordered a crusted Hake fillet with roasted new potatoes. The potatoes weren't fully cooked. She complained. They said they would bring her new ones. We had both finished our meals by the time her potatoes came back.

Lovely calamari to start..then a tasty seafood linguini for main.

Expensive for what it is. A simple meal with no trimmings is £25 and you don't get much. For a two course meal with sides you're looking at £50 without drinks Added to this a pint of local beer is nearly £8 and it's really nothing special and a low ABV Our meals came out at different times and although the staff were friendly enough there seemed a lack of coordination our urgency Left feeling disappointing, out of pocket and still hungry Edit: Oh, and they let DOGS into the restaurant which was actually pretty disgusting

Fabulous food and service. However this was spoiled a bit by a noisy dog.Also, we sat by a window which seemed to attract little black flies which were a bit of a nuisance. I had to cover my wine with a serviette.Most expensive wine I’ve ever had at £12:95 a glass

Had a great family meal here, food was good, service was great (thanks to our server Jess- super attentive and friendly!!) and we left happy for a nice stroll along the pier. Will definitely view your other establishments. If I’m honest, it was a bit expensive but is fine for a special occasion.

Food was expensive for what it was. Not the worst but certainly not the best. Service was great and had a friendly atmosphere. Feeling a little disappointed, hearing good things, but sadly didn't deliver.

We visited here as a large group where we had pre-ordered our meals in advance to assist their chefs. Unfortunately this venue missed the mark on quite a few areas. Positives: Nice location Nice looking building Staff were trying to be helpful where possible Negatives Completely forgot to bring out 2 meals until we reminded them Very expensive for basic foods. Think Wether spoons food at high prices. A burger without cheese costing over £20 a person which is literally served a burger and chips. (No side salad and cheese is an additional extra) Very expensive for drinks. Pint of lager was £7.25 and 3 glasses of wine was over £31! Burgers were dry, pizzas were almost impossible to cut, pork was tasteless. Overall my view on this place is that it is in prime location to get tourists through the door with the location and lavish looking restaurant. However from this point onwards things are progressively worse with very basic foods for a completely ludicrous price. Atmosphere is also a bit flat and they also accept dogs into the establishment which may put others off. Would not recommend and likely not to again

Lovely restaurant and food, served by Jess who was very friendly, all other servers were great too, would definitely recommend

Great place, restaurant looks stylish but food is absolutely stunning, well , portions are not for big man, so make sure you order 3course 😉

Great atmosphere, good burgers and chips. They seemed low staff but we still received great service!

Lovely food & great service in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

A little too much sand in the mussels and the chicken was also a bit dry. Good service

Lovely restaurant in a great location, with views of the bay. Food was excellent, and service fantastic. Highly recommend.

quite place and food was great.

Nice enough place but it is overpriced. The desert was the highlight of the meal. Beer at £7.25 a pint too...come on.

Lovely place with an excellent food. Have the calzone (with gravy, yes with gravy) absolutely awesome and cheesecake to finish was toooo good.

I can recommend the Menai mussels

Bad Food Terrible Service and music is bad wound‘t recoment it

Food was delicious but overall the service was a little lacklustre, very slow and simple things missing like being served coffee with sugar but no spoon. Toilets are also a little run down for quite a high calibre establishment.

Great meal to celebrate our anniversary last night. Wonderful food and service and an excellent venue. Thanks!

Met by manager Shaun ..fitted us in with two dogs no reservation ..the building draws you in and doesn't disappoint wouldn't be out of place in London's Mayfair ...the food was first class ..the starter was as good as a main and you could taste the locally sourced fish and produce ...rounded off with superb service behind the bar and of course our great waitress Molly who looked after us ..

Very well-decorated restaurant. Staff members were friendly and nice. Food and drink were generally tasty, but the steak was a bit overrated. Overall it was a great time to have dinner with my family there.

The best take away pizza! I had a sweet onion and goats cheese that was really delicious. The rest of the family loved theirs. Ate them on the beach, perfect summer lunch.

Thought we'd try this place as it was a top rated place. The food was ok, Gambas pil pil lacked flavour and authenticity. The Seafood linguine was alright 👍. Overall summary, I'd say it's okay to visit but I probably wouldn't try it again.

Overall average experience. Service was quite below par, me and my party were all in agreeance that everything seemed to be very slow and lacking. With the mains taking a while to come out as well as drinks being offered at the wrong time (really early on and then never again throughout the night). The food was okay but left some of my party quite unhappy with portion sizes being smaller than anticipated for their cost. I have been on a previous occasion a couple years back and felt the food tasted really good, but on this visit it felt like they were very short of the mark and leaving a lot to be desired. The pricing for the service and food felt a bit out of touch, but if these things improved then I can see it being reasonable as it has lots of potential with local produce and drinks being served and a decent atmosphere.

Friendly service. Delicious food.

We came to Dylan's in April this year. Disappointing experience at Dylan's and not up to usual standards. My son and I sat at a table (we had booked) and it was dirty and sticky. I never complain about anything but spoke to the server about it. I was told "well you can move to another table." No apologies. The service was extremely slow although the restaurant wasn't busy. The food was okay but the whole experience was a little disappointing and we've been many times.

Lovely restaurant with a friendly, helpful team. Excellent decor and a good menu choices- can recommend the Dirty Pig pork dish. We have eaten at Dylans Menai Bridge quite a it so wanted to try the Llandudno restaurant too.

the place is gorgeous! very beautiful! however the food is quite high end at the price range for mid food. firstly, the seafood linguine is very disappointing and had little to no taste. the burger was also dry. second, they charged us alittle more extra because they got our order wrong. make sure you check before you pay! overall, i would recommend the tacos! very tasty.

Lovely setting, service was slow but polite, however the food was very poor considering the prices. You do not get what you pay for. There are many far better places to eat in Llandudno, try them all before eating or drinking here. The drinks are exceptionally expensive too. Will not be returning.

Very pleasant and attentive waitress. Food was well presented and of a generous portion.

I ordered the Thai green curry from the specials menu, which turned out to be a piece of grilled chicken placed on top of some average rice and some green beans and mange tout in a curry sauce. Not what you'd expect a Thai green curry to be! The sauce was tasty but it was more Wetherspoons standard than restaurant standard, especially for the price.

We went for dinner on the recommendation of a friend and we weren't dissapointed. The seafood chowder was divine and the pizza my partner had was fresh and delicious. Service was great and the ambiance was great. A lovely sea view from our table was an added bonus

Don't know what all the hype is glorified cafe. Food is below average and expensive,maybe 35 tables 4of them occupied and upon arrival the guy asks have you booked,I'll see what I can for you,

was there for a wedding so used the function rooms upstairs,

Well worth a visit. Good choice of food. The staff are really friendly.

Just had a pre show meal at this restaurant. Location and interior were lovely, but the menu, both food and drink were a bit of a shock. Very expensive so we chose a beef and chicken burger and thought oh well this will be special. I am sorry to say that special it certainly was not. The chicken was dry and tasteless as was the beef. We opted for water after seeing the wine list and when it came time to pay it was card only with the waiter instructing us on how to use the card machine and add a tip, which we felt pressurised to do. I'm sorry to say that I have had better value for money in weatherspoons

We had to leave as they were taking cash only. CASH ONLY in a fancy restaurant.

This place went from an unknown to an instant favorite. Their food, service and hours are excellent!

Underwhelmed with food and atmosphere. If you’re hungry go for pizza or chicken in a basket or Dirty Pig. Spring menu on line is £19.95 for hake. New menu in restaurant is £23.95. Hake is beautifully cooked and tasty but sits on 3 small new potatoes and a desert spoon of leeks. Large room was empty apart from us Monday lunchtime. Disliked the music. Staff are lovely and professional. They allowed the dog in and gave him water. But…. Eating out is about 1) Enough good food 2) Enjoyable atmosphere. Llandudno Buildings and location are great but we were v disappointed with both 1 and 2 and won’t be returning. The current menu needs simplifying to reduce costs and give satisfying portions of enough delicious food. Keep it simple.

The biggest positive I can give Dylan's is that it had a superb interior up until we sat down to metal top tables. On a Sunday night the service was slow they seemed to have just 1 or 2 serving staff, with kitchen hands actually bringing out the food themselves. When we asked for water for a table of 8 only 2 tumblers came out. The food was an unexpected journey of horror when we served a single nacho in their crab nachos, the bizarre of Calzone with Pork, turkey, ham, a mustard mayo sauce and most bizarrely pickles. It wasn't bad but they would do well to stick to simple stuff done well instead of serving food inspired on three continents.

Had food poison on the same night after ate tommyhawk

Lovely meal for party of 6 adults & one young child to celebrate a birthday. Staff friendly, accommodating & went above & beyond to make the event special for us. All starters, mains & drinks were served in a timely manner. Food wonderful - enjoyed by all, clean plates all round!. Thank you to the team!
