Found completely by chance on the side of the road. Despite the late hour and a full dining room, the chef kindly agreed to welcome us. What followed was, without any doubt, the best meal of our entire stay in Ireland.
Refined, thoughtful cuisine, beautifully executed, with vegetables grown on site — fresh, seasonal, and full of flavor. A true culinary surprise and a memorable experience. Highly recommended.

We’ve traveled extensively and eaten in some of the top restaurants around the world, and our meal at Lough Inn was unquestionably one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Chef Thomas is a culinary artist, and clearly cares deeply about ensuring his guests have a memorable experience while dining with him. We were there with a party of 10, including a lactose-free vegetarian and two children. Everyone one of us was thrilled with what was offered, and even our pickiest eaters can’t wait to go back. We are all torn between wanting to shout praises from the highest hills so everyone can enjoy this amazing food and service, or keeping it a secret so we can easily get a table whenever we want. But mostly, we just want to make sure Lough Inn is successful so we can always have top quality dining experiences without having to fly to Paris. Co. Mayo is incredibly lucky to have such a treasure!

This place charging €10 for a pint of Guinness. Twice the price it is everywhere else. Disgraceful!

A very nice chef from France conjured up a first-class meal for us, despite apparently having problems with the electricity. The prices were very reasonable—not what we expected from the menu.
At the end, we received a small gift and were given a short tour of his garden.
Highly recommended

Stopped on way home from a funeral . The waitress was really friendly the chef himself was there lovely man explained what was on menu and the specials for the evening he is really passionate about his food We ordered salmon which was absolutely delicious and presentation was class. The waitress brought us not one but two small tasting plates before the main course which were on the house and were so tasty We couldn't praise the food enough it was all so fresh and tasty. It was a pleasure to eat there we will definitely be back
