Anglesey is an island in Wales off the mainland’s northwest coast. It’s well known for its beaches and ancient sites. Anglesey used to be known as the ‘Bread basket of Wales’ due to its fertile land, and the island still offers the freshest seafood straight from the sea, seasoned with the local Halen Môn sea salt drawn directly from the waters of the Menai Strait. Here we have compiled a list of some of the best places to eat in Anglesey.
