There are moments in hospitality that make all the early mornings, late nights, and hard work worthwhile. We are absolutely delighted to share that The Glyde Inn, Annagassan has been featured by The Irish Times in its recent article, "Calling all seafood lovers: 14 restaurants to visit this summer." The feature showcases fourteen outstanding seafood destinations across Ireland and celebrates restaurants that champion exceptional local seafood and memorable dining experiences.

For everyone at The Glyde Inn, this recognition is incredibly special.

A Celebration of Fresh Local Seafood

In the article, The Irish Times highlights what makes dining at The Glyde Inn unique – our close connection to the sea.

As the article notes, it's a wonderful sign when the very boat that landed the shellfish on your plate can often be seen from the restaurant overlooking Dundalk Bay. It celebrates our commitment to serving the freshest local seafood, including razor clams, cockles, crab claws and many other seasonal shellfish, simply prepared to let their natural flavours shine.

That philosophy has always been at the heart of what we do.

Every day, we work closely with local fishermen and suppliers to ensure our guests enjoy the very best seafood the east coast of Ireland has to offer.

A Restaurant Rooted in Annagassan

Situated in the picturesque fishing village of Annagassan, The Glyde Inn has been welcoming visitors for generations.

Whether you're joining us for freshly landed shellfish on our seaside terrace, a family lunch, a romantic evening meal, or simply a pint while watching the boats come and go, our aim has always been to create an authentic taste of coastal Ireland.

Our location overlooking Dundalk Bay isn't just part of the scenery—it's part of our story.

The sea provides both our inspiration and many of the ingredients that appear on our menus throughout the year.

National Recognition

This latest accolade follows what has already been an incredible year for The Glyde Inn.

We're honoured to have recently been:

• Named among The Irish Times' 100 Great Places to Eat in Ireland for Summer 2026
• Featured by National Geographic as one of the World's Best Places to Eat
• Recognised at the Irish Restaurant Awards
• Included in one of Ireland's leading national food publications as one of the country's must-visit seafood restaurants.

Each recognition reinforces our commitment to showcasing the incredible produce of County Louth and Ireland's Ancient East.

Thank You

We'd like to sincerely thank our incredible team, our local fishermen and suppliers, and, most importantly, our loyal customers.
