House of plates in Castlebar legal

Fab spot. Contemporary vibe, amazing food, and great help with a guest with food allergies. Highly recommend.

Just WOW! This was a beautifully surprising experience start to finish. I was fortunate to get in for a booking on the same day, though I would definitely recommend prebooking. It is a preset menu, yet I would say the most incredible quality and presentation you could ever hope to get for the price. (This offering was 2 courses for €55, 3 courses for €62). Aoife was delightful through the entirety of the service, beginning with her spot-on recommendations and tastings of wine to select my bottle. The chef's snack started off with an impressive bang- sustainable use of "scraps" made into a delicious mouse, cradled within a parm crisp and served on a bed of smoked pine. Absolutely stunning! I'll honestly be thinking about this bite for a long while. It was followed by one of the most tasty bread courses I've ever had--honey rosemary bread (I've got to figure out how to recreate at home) with salted Irish butter, olive oil and an elderberry balsamic vinegar. I could've honestly only eaten that and still been happy! Next was a cheese souffle with leek fondue which was decadent and flavorful. My main course was a 12 hour cooked featherblade of Irish beef that didn't even require a knife. The unexpected toppings of black garlic, maple bacon and BBQ crisps were creative and deliciously unique. The sides were of generous portions- a potato mash with greens, fresh mixed veg and braised carrots and an impressive stacked and fried potato. The palate cleanser of a raspberry and lemon lolli-popcicle was a delightfully refreshing treat to finish it off. I took my dessert to-go of a dense, dark chocolate cake with raspberry. Gorgeous meal, I honestly had so much to take away after (including half the bottle of wine I didn't finish). Aoife was sweet enough as well to send me with recommendations for my visit and I expect her suggestions will be spot on. Overall, I consider this a tremendous value for the quality, experience and service and I would be thrilled to return! Thank you!

Wow! This place has been on my list of restaurants to try for quite awhile and I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner! The service was friendly and welcoming and the food was outstanding!

Amazing food and lovely staff. Defo a special place to eat

It's rare I write reviews but I had to on this occasion given how amazing everything was there last night at the house of plates. Went to house of plates last night for my birthday for a 3 course meal and I cannot praise the food and service enough. 10/10 experience. The food and flavours were sensational just mouth watering. The service was amazing and professional and friendly and there were no time delays with any of the dishes. Also loved the little complimentary starters that were given before our own starters came such as the bread with the beautiful oil and balsamic vinegar. Also the presentation of each dish was beautiful and thoughtfully put together. Thanks for an amazing experience we will be back <3 Páraic and Laura

Fantastic food. Best brunch I've had in Ireland and I've had a few. Just had the Turkish eggs and they have set the bar for quality and taste. Do yourself a favour and come here. Well worth a visit.

The was excellent and the the service was great. The best meal I've had in a while.

Fine but not great. Overcooked vegetables.2 courses option not value for money.
