The Glyde Inn Named Among The Irish Times' 100 Great Places to Eat in Ireland for Summer 2026
We are delighted to announce that The Glyde Inn, Annagassan has been recognised by The Irish Times as one of the "100 Great Restaurants, Cafés and Places to Eat Around Ireland for Summer 2026."
As one of Ireland's most respected national publications, The Irish Times' annual summer dining guide showcases the very best food experiences across the country. To be included among such distinguished restaurants is a tremendous honour and a testament to the passion, dedication and hard work of our entire team.
A Celebration of Fresh Local Seafood
The Irish Times highlighted one of the things that makes The Glyde Inn truly special – our connection to the sea and the local fishing community that has been at the heart of Annagassan for generations.
In their feature, they wrote:
"It's always a good sign when the boat that caught the shellfish on the table is visible out the window."
It's a sentiment that perfectly reflects our philosophy. We believe great food begins with great ingredients, and we are fortunate to have access to some of Ireland's finest seafood landed fresh from the waters of Dundalk Bay.
From razor clams and cockles to crab claws and locally sourced fish, our chefs focus on preparing each dish with care and simplicity, allowing the natural flavours to shine.
Dining with a View
Located on the shores of Dundalk Bay, The Glyde Inn offers more than just exceptional food. Our outdoor terrace provides stunning views across the bay towards the Mourne Mountains, creating a dining experience that captures the beauty of Ireland's east coast.
Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch on a sunny afternoon, a seafood dinner with friends, or simply relaxing with a drink while taking in the scenery, The Glyde Inn offers a warm welcome and an authentic taste of coastal Ireland.
