30/06/2026: Food was excellent. Tomato heirloom starter was a combo of the simplest ingredients but nicest taste & packaging :) refreshing & enjoyable. Halibut Fillet was tasteful with braised vegetables. Recommended & will go back again. Cocktails were top notch also & beautiful. My friends were happy with their orders as well. The small appetiser & chocolates at the end were both nice gestures. Also quite nice & friendly staff. The only downside was the level of noise that made it hard to have a chat & hearing each other.

26/07/2026: Food lovely, staff were very attentive and friendly with us. Highly recommend for a nice meal.

24/07/2026: Absolutely loved my visit to Ann McDonald’s Cafe! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The sandwich was so tasty and generously filled, and the coffee was one of the best I’ve had in a long time – rich, smooth, and perfectly made. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was impressively fast. It’s such a lovely, cosy place with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent coffee, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

04/04/2026: My friend and I stopped at Monroe's for lunch. We were blessed with the appearance of Remi, a friendly giant, who patrols the pub & check on guests (and their plates sometimes haha). The pub itself has a good atmosphere and very interesting signed posters on the ceiling! It was busy, but not chaotic busy. The staff was super friendly. We both ordered beef burgers, which were really really tasty, and of course, a pint of Guinness. We have also noticed the place hosts many gigs and other events, which is awesome!

28/06/2026: One of the best dining experiences going. The food is very special. You can see the efficient kitchen working. The staff are really slick and hospitable. It’s all about the food when you go out to eat though and it really is wonderful.

26/06/2026: A true hidden gem. Quiet, amazing menu, great service, friendly staff. Don't get the exterior facade deter you from a great dinner.

10/07/2026: We had a fantastic family dinner at House of Plates in Castlebar and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the restaurant had a warm, intimate atmosphere that immediately made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. The dining room is beautifully presented and strikes a perfect balance between being elegant without feeling overly formal. The food was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented with real attention to detail, and the flavours throughout the meal were exceptional. You can tell there is genuine care and creativity behind every plate. We especially loved the baked cod, which was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour, and the steak, which was tender, rich and expertly prepared. The scallops were outstanding, cooked beautifully and complemented by fantastic accompaniments, while the duck was another memorable course that everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed. Every member of our family commented on how much they loved their meal, which says a lot when everyone orders something different. One thing that really stood out was the generosity. The portion sizes were excellent, particularly considering the quality of the food. We were also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful chef’s treats that arrived throughout the meal, adding an extra touch of luxury and making the whole experience feel special. The additional side dishes served with the mains were another unexpected bonus that we hadn’t anticipated and were very much appreciated. The wine pairings listed on the menu deserve a special mention. They were exceptionally well chosen and complemented each course perfectly, enhancing the flavours without overpowering them. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a complete dining experience rather than simply serving great food. The value for money is remarkable. A menu offering two courses for €55 or three courses for €62 is incredibly competitive considering the quality of the ingredients, the presentation, the additional chef’s surprises and the overall standard of cooking. It genuinely feels like you’re receiving a fine dining experience at a very fair price. If I was to offer any constructive feedback, it would only be on a couple of very small points. The lamb was slightly more cooked than we would have preferred, and while all of the staff were polite, the two younger members of the team could perhaps bring a little more enthusiasm and warmth to the service. These were very minor observations and certainly didn’t take away from what was otherwise a wonderful evening. Overall, House of Plates is a fantastic addition to Castlebar’s dining scene. Exceptional food, beautiful presentation, generous portions, excellent wine pairings, thoughtful little extras throughout the meal and outstanding value for money all combine to create a memorable dining experience. We left already talking about what we’d order on our next visit, which is always the best sign. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend House of Plates to anyone looking for a special meal, and we’ll definitely be back.
